Dynon next-gen pricing revealed

[apkp777]

Seems like some of you are coming down on Dynon pretty hard. Personally, I would not want a product from a Company who does not claim that their product is best both in quality and value. I don't do anything half a.. and it seems like Dynon holds the same position. I haven't seen their competitors posting anything to counter the claims of Dynon. I flew behind one of the competitor EFIS displays today and wan't overly impressed. The screen resolution wasn't that great. The HI/HSI was odd. The VSI wasn't anywhere on the PFD. It did have some cool features, don't get me wrong. Still a big improvement over steam. I think SkyView looks very cool. What I saw at OSH was impressive. I'll be placing my order in 4 weeks.

No matter which EFIS I bought, I would want to be comfortable that the manufacturer would survive many years to support it. That implies that they need to charge a high enough price to make a reasonable profit. If we try to drag prices too low, it may cost us in the end when we can't get support as the manufacturer has gone bankrupt.

Congrats to Dynon. I know the amount of work that went into this new product line, and I can tell you it looks absolutely stunning in person.

I had a D10A in my RV6A (sold)
I have an FD180 in my RV10 (Flying 2.5 years)
I also have a Bluemountain EFIS Gen 4 with synthetic vision. Synthetic vision is a big winner with me and all my flying buddies.
I am very happy with both of my Dynon units both in performance, reliability and price.
The Bluemountain unit is great with synthetic vision. Now that Dynon has a product with synthetic vision I am waiting for the right time to add one to my panel. For me the Dynon units are easy to use, easy to install, reliable and reasonably priced. Add to that Dynon has excellent customer service.
In my opinion you can not go wrong with them.

Would you expect that ?
Not from my side. I think in the past I have posted about anything relevant so why repeat ? I have come to respect members of this list as being intelligent enough to make the right choice to suit their intended use and not to be easily caught out. After all, if you can build an aircraft - you can't be all that dumb - would you not agree ?
No, I'm quite happy to give Dynon their 5 minutes in the sun. I for one welcome any companies attempt to produce something nice at a fair price and will state so publicly. Even if the company in question has never had a good word for us and thinks they are somehow at war with us.

Nobody has ever accused us of "resting".
We have a nice saying: "The show is not over until the fat lady sings".

More once Dynon ships their new system, not before (sorry). And this is all I will post on this thread.

Not trying to bash your products but when I was at your booth in Oshkosh this year, your sales person was unable to demonstrate the Odyssey for me it was so confusing to operate with all the "F" keys and buttons. If the product sales person has trouble using the product,,,there is no way I will ever be able to use it. On the otherhand, I was able to sucessfully navigate through the Skyview display unit (with no instruction) in just a couple moments it was so E-Z to use. I will not be purchasing my panel for another year but after watching my buddy get the shaft from BM in the Cozy MKIV
we built, I will be very cautious in selecting the EFIS that goes in my panel, and after the experience at Oshkosh, your's is off the table.

Looks like this thread has come to a predictable conclusion.
