G3X Purchase Options
I'm about to purchase several thousand dollars' worth of Garmin equipment to completely update the panel and other avionics in my RV-8. Anyone have any advice to keep my costs down? Right now I'm leaning toward purchasing everything from Aircraft Spruce, with a modest military discount. Thanks! -2B

I think what is more important than a small price difference is technical support after the sale. You can?t go wrong going with Steinair, and a tech with answers is a phone call away. They have competitive pricing and you may be surprised at a ?package? price when your buying a lot of goodies.

If you are shopping price you may want to try Stark Avionics.

An example
Two G5's stacked vertically with an Aera 660, a Gtr200, and autopilot 507 with servos may be as cheap and (but very functional) simple vfr machine as you can get.
From there, if you want to add a few k extra swap out the Aera for the 10" G3X panel. If you want it to be IFR, add a GTN 650 or 625 and GAD 29......and the the audio GMA 245. Search RV8 panels and you'll get some nice ones |
Scratch everything I said if you are wanting only recommendations on where to shop....:D

Can?t go wrong with SteinAir. They are price competitive and support after the sale is outstanding!

Get a g3x touch + gtn-625 for the cost of the 625 .. |
SteinAir. The service and advice after the sale are invaluable..... and you'll be glad for it.

I had great experience with both Steinair and with Tim at Approach Fast Stack - give him a try, too. Both are super helpful and responsive.
