Thought I would just pipe in for some opinions since we are on the panel

subject.  I have been really looking hard at the OP system.  I spoke with

them at Sun-n-fun and I am pretty impressed with the system. (Of course the

vendor is going to make it look real good.)  Has anyone else looked at the

op system compared to the Chelton?  If so, what do you think.  I like the

integrated idea and it actually seems to offer more than the G900, i.e.

synthetic flight.  Comments!

Rick,



Re Op Tech. I'm obviously biased as I chose Op Tech for my RV-10.



http://deemsrv10.com/album/Panel/slides/DSC03330.html   (page fwd and 

back LOTS of Screen pics in this album.)



For those who will take the time to look and compare, it's clear to me 

that they have :



1. Larger Screens

2. Brighter Screens (1500 nit)

3. More information displayable on a screen

4. Better Resolution

5.Price includes an engine management system

6. Integrated IFR Charts

7. WSI or XM weather

8. Option for remote installation of avionics

9. More functionality than Chelton and LESS $'s



Op Tech is an option on the New EPIC (Chelton is not) along w/ Garmin

1000 Op Tech is the standard in the Javelin.



Talking to their owner/president Dexter Turner, they are expanding and

continuing to hire people and have recently moved into a larger facility,

all signs of a growing company (compare to D2A)



Lot's of the Lancair crowd have discovered them and I'm seeing more and

 more of them installed.



I haven't flown it yet (other than 40 hours in DEMO mode) so take this 2 

cents for what it's worth.

One additional feature #10 would be the ability to display video format

using an IR sensitive, motion stabilized tail mounted camera. Oregon

Aero has put one on a Pilatus PC-12 for entry at night onto wildlife

enriched airport environments.



The Garmin 900X has made some inroads into the Epic production line.  It

is a very competitive market which is good for all of us shopping.
