Guys,
I have been helping my long-time friend and RV builder Arvil Porter finish my Dad's RV6 project. When it came time to install the panel I decided (like in 97 with my RV4) that the best possible technology at the time should be utilized. After extensive research and alot of emails I purchased the Stratomaster Enigma for the RV6. The Enigma comes from a long line of very durable low-cost systems from MGL avionics in S. Africa, designed by a German design team. I have 2 of their instruments in my RV4 and Rocket. The Enigma is the culmination of 10 years research in EFIS design for small aircraft.
Sales are through Sport Flying Shop and Matt, their salesman and technical representative is very helpful, courteous and straightforward. I ordered the Enigma and got it in 1 week. It is a very simple unit with a EFIS screen, RDAC box and wiring. First impression is as I expected, awesome. The Enigma has it all, engine monitor, moving map GPS, terrain data base, Jeppesen type data base, programmable pages with adaptive screen presentations (you can change them yourself) and free email-able database updates. Simply load the email onto a data card and plug it into the face of the enigma. All Stratomaster instruments have an Ultralight heritage, hence they are built for durability. All of them can sit outside in an open cockpit and perform as advertised. I don't think you can find any EFIS out there with the same capabilities for the money. After the test flight I will provide pictures and results. So far, excellent!
