I may have to reconsider my Dynon purchases and go for the Garmin Gold.

All I can say is, I'm so glad I haven't bought anything for the panel yet.
Me too! And love that autopilot control panel! And the new lower prices!

Woohoo!

Yes, that's correct. Since the GMC 305 connects to the display and not to the third-party autopilot, nothing changes about the interaction with any of the supported third-party autopilots, other than the addition of the mode controller makes it easier to use the system and adds a few new modes.

The mode control panel connects to one of your GDU displays using a RS-232 port, so someone with an existing G3X/Trutrak panel is looking at four wires to add a GMC 305 to the mix.

Very cool, that's what I will be doing! Thanks, Matt!

John,

If you have GTX23ES/GTX330ES in your panel, you could use the single screen G3X system to drive it in a VFR mode along with a GDL39/GDL39R and get full TIS-B and FIS-B services. This works now and the ground stations will consider you a full TIS-B client. This does not meet the 2020 requirements but it works for now.

The GTX23ES is an affordable ES solution for G3X users!

OK this is a little confusing. I have already spent time designing my panel for the old set up now I will need to re-learn a few things.
The GSU73 is being replaced by GSU25, GEA24 and GAD29.
I will no longer need a GX Pilot as the autopilot is integrated into the new servos but I could add a GMC305 for added features.
Will my Tru-Trak servo brakets work with the new GSA28 servos?
The GMU44 has been replaced with a GMU22.
I will now use a GDL39R since I am remote mounting anyway.
Angle of attack in integrrated if I desire I only need a GAP26?

I don't see a new manual yet?
Good thing I haven't started a harness yet.

Did I miis anything?

I don't think the GSU73 is replaced, just augmented with more options. There is mention that the GSU73 is still supported.

Your choice on the AP. You can still go with a third party unit or go with the Garmin solution. Some slight differences in features.
The new GSA28 servos are very technically advanced units but they do still require info from a working AHRS to function.

The GMC305 is an option for both solutions. You don't have to have it for either. Sure is a nice option however and it enables more AP modes.

It is my understanding that the TT brackets and the Dynon clones will work but might require some minor filing for clearance.

What version of GMU you need depends on how what AHRS solution you plan to use.

The "R" version of the GDL39 just makes it more suited for remote mounting. The portable version of the GDL39 works fine but is not optimized for remote mounting. No reason to swap if you already have a GDL39 remote mounted.

Yes on the AOA, however it does require at least one GSU25 in the system.

I already have a Dynon roll servo and their heated pitot/angle of attack tube installed . Could I use those with the garmin system?
