Default Anybody tried Ifd-Net?

There was a vendor booth at OSH in the flea market area. Caught my eye with some small backup efis boxes. Had a nice and small 57mm one. It had attitude, airspeed, altitude and a battery built in. Said with cash I could get it for $450.

The company is Italian and I'm pretty sure the guy I talked to was French.

This would be an awesome price for a backup efis. Anybody else explored this one?

Oh cool, somebody that has it. Is the brightness ok? Can you dim it? Is airspeed/alt/attitude accurate? Any drift? Know if you can change the internal battery?

It is great in sunlight, I don?t have it hooked to pitot static so can?t comment on airspeed. I use it as a AH backup

I saw thee last year, and looked again this year. I like the 'round dial' look, but also want glass and a IFR capably a/c. I was thinking with a 6 pack of these, then an GX3 screen and IFR navigator, I should good and have redundancy as well as the best of both worlds
