I've seen the airgizmo thing and if you can get it past the FAA I think
it's a great concept.

Just put it in.


I'm not aware of any installations in GA aircraft,
I think the avionics shops are still afraid of them.

We have about 6 on the field here alone. they are turning up everywhere
you look around here.




BTW, has anyone seen one of the airgizmo mounts that's been blessed by a
FSDO for other than homebuilt?

It's not up to FSDO as no 337 is needed, it's a minor alteration.

I have seen the Air Gizmo mount for the 396, and since my plane is
Experimental the installation would be fine. However, I don't have the
panel space without moving a lot of stuff around so I'll be mounting it
on a bracket near the glareshield if I go that route.

I've seen several ads for combos of a 396, the dock, an SL-40 com, and
a GTX-327 transponder for $6K. Looks like they are actively marketing
to the LSA and homebuilt market.

Thanks,
