Trutrak Digiflight 2 display repair?

[Mr Nipper]

Hi Guys n Gals.
I have a Trutrak Digiflight 2 FP that the display is failing on......I understand that this is a common problem.
Has anyone had this done as a "post warranty" repair free of charge?
Who are you using for repairs to Digiflight equipment.
Thanks
Neil

Neil- I talked to MidContinent Instruments & Avionics located in Wichita, Kansas last week. Ask for Bruce, as he is the TruTrak expert. I was told, if you have the blue screen, the repair cost is not so much. If you have the other screen the repair cost is almost the cost of a new unit.
The blue screen unit will have part #8000-164.
Hope this helps.

Hi Jim,
Yes, you are quite right. Just got off of the phone with Bruce......$765 for a new unit....$800+ to repair the old one. Bummer.
I am going to take the lid off of this one and see whats inside!

Well I doubt Trutrak make their own displays, but a search on the www with the numbers that are on the back of the screen have not turned up anything.

Does anyone have a unit that has a good display but has another problem they wish to sell?

Advanced Flight Systems (Rob Hickman) sold an autopilot with their label that was a TruTrak Digiflight II. Maybe you'd find a new display somewhere for sale with a different label. Calling Advanced Flight might be helpful.

Thank you for that.......AFS, I have dropped them a line.

AFS tends to be very responsive to emails, but I’ve found that my most productive discussions with them were over the phone. Rob, Jonathon, or Shawn are surprisingly accessible.
