Mark,

Check out their offering, when they return from OSH. When I spoke to them for that blurb, it was an impressive system.

Since my background is in IT, the menu systems most EFIS units have doesn't bother me. You are either going to memorize a menu or a button, whatever works for you, is what you should go with.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Unless something changes, I will probably go with the large Advanced on the pilot's side as the PFD
and two Garmin G3-X's, one as a MFD and one as a co-pilot's PFD, separated by the radio stack. Something like this...

My thinking is that I rarely fly alone and the co-pilot could enter info
into the Garmin PFD on the right which would cross feed into the the middle Garmin MFD.
Not sure how entering info into the G-430's will get into the EFIS's, but
I guess I'll figure that out. Anyone see any reason not to go this route?
Thanks,

We got back to Portland in the RV-10 last night, we will have updated information and pictures in the next day or so. I am still looking for my desk, I am fairly sure it is under the stack of paper in my office.

I am planning on installing the new Aerosport products panel in my RV-10 in the fall with two AF-5600 screens and an AF-3400 on the right side of the panel. On long trips you will be able to show movies on the center screen for the passengers

These are actual screen captures from my flight home from Oshkosh with the new software. These pictures show the new software with SV behind the engine gauges, Joy stick panning, HITS, and new terrain colors.









and from the AF-3400






I even got to fly the new HITS software home....

Also, I'm in the process of final editing a video where Rob talks us through the new features. It should be up tomorrow at the Kitplanes site.

Cool! Is that number on the left side of the screen the high score?

[RV7Ron]

Man, that is cool! I have been wavering between AF and Dynon...tough decision, luckily I have time to ponder it further. I dont see AOA shown, or am I just missing it?

[N402RH]

The AOA on my screen is in declutter mode, it only displays when the AOA is above 6.0
