Scott..
Now that is an impressive panel!
I should buy some lotto tickets for this weeks drawing, based on my envy (and hope to win)! :o Very nice, indeed. |
Any answers about the mounting of the LRUs? It would be really nice to know where you mounted the boxes, what the system weight is, and oh yes...Pictures! :)

Any word on the weight of the system? Just curious. I'm guessing it's about $2k per pound. :)

Weight
Quote:
I asked Scott directly and was told 45+ lbs. I don't know what that would do with the W&B of a 7, or what you'd have to plan for. I do know this. When Cessna first came out with the G1000, the made the claim that it would provide an increase in useful load over the Silver Crown King system and 6 pack. In actuallity, it did exactly the opposite. It created a useful load penalty. I took delivery of my G1000 182 and right next to it was a non-G1000 182, same equipment everywhere else. The difference was 1241 lbs useful on the non- to 1198 for the G1000. BTW, the W&B had to be revised after the TC was issues with a manual entry to include 25lbs of wiring! I suppose that was due to the Avoinics bay that was mounted in the tail. One other note in difference the Cessna install uses the King AP and the servos for the AP are huge, so it could be that the G900X without AP, or with trutrak will be closer to the 45+ number than the cessna install. |
Questions Answered
Hi All,
Still trying to catch up from Oshkosh. It was a long (but enjoyable) week. Listed below are some answers in response to some questions that have been asked. System is not yet available for sale, so the standard disclaimer applies (subject to change). * System will be fully certified when available for sale. It is not an uncertified version of the G1000. In total, the G900X/G1000 holds TSO authorization on approximately 50 different TSOs. * G900X "system" is comprised of multiple LRUs:
* Total system weight is around 45 lbs. This includes all LRUs, racks, connectors, etc. I haven't added up separate weights of any comparable systems, but I suspect it would be fairly close (large screen PFD + large screen MFD + 2 GNS 530Ws + GMA 347 + GTX 330 + etc.). I'm not using an angle-valve engine, so I am already saving about 30 lbs right there. ; ) * System will run on either 14 or 28V. Only exception is that the COM power input must be run on 28V (it's 16 watts). I'll try to snap a few more pics showing the LRU installations for those that have asked. Scott 7A Finishing |
