I am tied up this weekend, but can talk next week.

Best,

Merrill
Thanks to you and all others responding, I appreciate it.

The Freeflight is easy to install, but much more complicated than the NavWorx. I am a dealer for both, and neither require a repair station.

David,

The FF is a great product, and you shouldn't have any issue installing it. Purchase through Walt and you can't go wrong. He's a great resource to have, and he knows this system inside out. Search this forum (for freeflight) and you will find questions I had about the installation, that Walt promptly answered. You will be in good hands.

(Hey, we've both gone the extreme with the E6, and come back full circle to the tried-and-true -- believe me, the FF is a piece of cake compared to that experience!)

Michael

David,

I installed this system in my -7 last spring (also purchase from Walt Aronow). I have it interfacing my AFS EFIS boxes and a Garmin GTX-327. It does require from wiring but workable with patience. Be happy to help. Email at dcw@mnwing.org.
