Yes, in fact I just implemented that last week.

There you go reading our minds before we even think it again!

Thanks!

Matt,
I have the old 73 ADAHRS/Eng monitoring unit. Is I want to take advantage of the AOA then I need to ditch my Dynon pitot and replace it with the Garmin one, as well as add the new ADAHRS unit?

Is that the only capability I would gain?

The simplest change in terms of wiring would be to add a GSU 25 and a GAP 26 AOA probe. This would give you angle of attack as well as dual ADAHRS with automatic cross-compare of important data. This is actually what I've done with my airplane, since I already had GSU 73 installed and wired. It takes about a half-dozen additional wires to go this route.

Default Just to be sure...

Matt -

Just to confirm what I think you wrote in an earlier post, your servos should be compatible the TruTrak pitch and roll servo brackets I've already installed?

These announcements are great timing, by the way...we just reviewed our airplane budget yesterday and I told my wife that Garmin would probably come out with something better really soon, and the old stuff would get cheaper. But it looks like we're getting the best of both!

Default GAD 29

Any more information on what the GAD 29
IFR Navigation Adapter is going to do exactly?

I will (by July) already have a GNS650 and G3X installed. What will the GAD 29 do (or the G3X) with it installed that can't be done without it?

That's correct, the bolt pattern uses the same industry standard as servos from other manufacturers, so existing brackets should be compatible.

Hello Bill,

The previous generation "black box", the GSU 73, provided ADAHRS, engine monitoring, and ARINC 429 functionality in a single package. The new generation of black boxes splits these functions into three separate units: the GEA 24 engine monitor, GSU 25 ADAHRS+AOA, and GAD 29 ARINC 429 interface. If you already have a G3X system with a GSU 73 then you don't need a GAD 29 - the ARINC 429 functionality is equivalent.

- Matt

Default Wow

This is what we have been looking for in a small compact panle like the "8" for some time now. Thanks for listenning and getting it to market. If you could only talk the guys up front into cutting us a deal like this on the 750 Nav. Com., I think you would have me buying the beer. Thanks yours as always #80888 R.E.A. III
