I am afraid some of you homebuilders are looking at some of those the
$35K (G1000) products into your $20K airplanes. I really hope not!


I have a $2400 Dynon D100 (the 6-7" screen), there is a new firmware
update that is coming out that provides for a DG display co-located with
the AHI display..

In the pipeline for upgrade is an HSI functionality that uses SL30 and GPS
signals for steering. It was just announced within past month.

Yea.. Blue Mountain has had this for a few years now, but not in this size
AT THIS PRICE.

I can handle the $3k price range just fine and get ooodles of
functionality compared to joe 6-packs' 6 pack.

I'm considering a Dynon FlightDek D180 it is the larger screen and is both a
EFIS and EIS in one. If I go that way I'll leave room and pre-wire for a
smaller D10 for the right seat. This will give be a back up set of flight
instruments for the D180 and I would be able to put the HSI/DG on 1/3 of the
D180 and the engine data on the D10.
