 |
|
For you builders that have a year or better before you have to commit to an avionics system, I suggest that you go to dynonavionics.com and click on the upper left "next generation". This looks like a system that will have all possible functions, at a reasonable price. I have a Dynon system in my RV-8, and it has operated flawlessly. Their policy of free software upgrades, and non-obsolescence of older hardware, is now joined with a policy of trade-in's for earlier products to customers that want to upgrade. This is a company that's big enough that it should be around awhile to support your investment, unlike some vendors.
I don't work for, or have any affiliation with the company, but I appreciate a company that supports their customers as well as Dynon, without squeezing every last cent from you.
Tru-trak has also provided an excellent upgrade policy to their customers, as I have traded-up my autopilot with them twice. However, for the price of a Sorcerer, you can buy a complete 2 (6 Inch) screen, dual AHRS, efis system, including engine/systems monitoring, with a full function two axis autopilot from Dynon. How refreshing.

I agree wholeheartedly, except possibly on the timing. I've been very happy with Dynon's stability and ease of use, although their feature set to date has been a little slow, which they are obviously in the process of dealing with. As with every new offering in the experimental market that I am aware of, don't hold your breath on delivery dates. With possibly a few exceptions, these companies often operate on a shoe-string development budget and it seems that actually hitting the market with a product takes more development (read time) than originally projected. Kind of like building a plane. 
Oh, and it's a 7" widescreen display on the larger Dynons, 4" on the smaller.

Hmm..."shoe-string development budget" and IFR operations (that is what synthetic vision is for ...right?). Me no-likey those two together.
