Sun N Fun Specials

I wanted to start a thread for us underpriviledged folk who won't make it to SNF this year.

For those that are there, can you tell us what great specials and/or new announcements exist? Any noteworthy product discounts?

Thanks
Scott

Doh! Their web site's dead. I want details. That thing looks sweet.

Ok, their site is back up, but lacking in details. On the EFIS description, they say:
- GPS Interface
- Nav Radio Interface

Does that mean it can replace a CDI? I can't see how else they can justify a price over 50% higher than the Dynon big screen.

Any specials on the Garmin 396 there?

The AHRS unit they are using is much better than the Dynon & the screen is fabulous, I saw it at the factory last week & it really is the business, even in direct sunlight it's as bright as a pin.

Still appears to be lack a moving map... one of the reasons l like the BMA stuff.

Their website now appears to have lots of extra info on the new EFIS. I would try again. Look here, then choose the unit you wish to look at on the left hand-side. Also at the bottom there is a link to an image with relative screen sizes.

This thing is a little pricey, but AFS's stuff seems to be high quality. The screen resolution on that thing is awesome.

What is the basis for this claim? Every AHRS vendor I have *ever* spoken with has a laundry list of reasons why "his" unit is better than the other brands...

"Patented aerospace grade AHRS." That could be used to describe the Crossbow, and we know how that turned out.

I can't find any decent dimensions on the thing. The brochure says the AF-3500 is 7.5" x 6.63", but I'm not sure if that's the screen size or the size of the bevel. The AF-3400 is shown "actual size" which is not very helpful in a PDF.

I haven't found a complete list of features anywhere. There's mention of an "EFIS DG", but no explanation. It appears that you can use the cheaper $400 "AOA kit" and use the EFIS for display. Does that have all the features of the AOA Pro or AOA Sport?

I'm sure more info will be available eventually, but if anybody at the show can fill us in, please do. I'm very close to making a final decision on my EFIS.
