I asked about a problem I was having running the garmin 480 simulator
last week. Since then my choices have narrowed down to a Bonanza with a
Sandel 3308 and a Garmin 430. I'd prefer the 480 but for other reasons
this airplane is a better choice. I've been trying to buy a plane
already equipped the way I'd like it and this one is as close as I'll
probably get. The prebuy should be complete today or tomorrow. Anyway,
this plane has the Sandel 3308. I've flown a little with a regular HSI
but never with an EFIS (not much use for one in my old citabria). This
particular model has been discontinued by Sandel but I understand that
it's a good unit. Its interfaced with the 430, kx155 and an S-tec 50
autopilot. I've been reviewing the instruction manual for it and its
got some great features. I understand that the bulb needs to replaced
annually or after a couple hundred hours. Other than that, I'm not
aware of any problems with these units. Any positive or negative
experiences with them? BTW, the simulator for the 430 runs fine.
Thanks

The person in the right seat will not be able to see it. The viewing
angel is narrow.
I have one installed in my plane and it makes flying instrument
approaches very nice.
