Way Cool!
Got to fly behind one of those in a Cirrus. Very cool. I suspect that affordability might be just a slight issue though....
Hey Dave, maybe we can split one, you get the left screen, and I'll take the right.. Maybe you can throw in a camera and I'll dig up an out of date copy of Visio...

I have a feeling the left and right screens need to stay wired together. We'll have to stay in very tight formation for the sharing arrangement to work.
I haven't flown behind them, but got to play with them in a sim. I'm sure they'll be at the very high end of the cost spectrum, but man those screens are sweet.

Darn-it, bandwidth exceeded on the image. I probably shouldn't see this anyway.

I reposted the picture to another location due to bandwidth being exceeded. It's not a very good picture, but you get the general idea.

My airplane will be on display in the Garmin tent at Oshkosh for anyone wanting to take a closer look. I will be there most days to answer any questions people may have. There are a couple of interesting product announcements planned for the show.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Scott
P.S. Jeff, the round gauges are 2.25" electric sold by Mid Continent. The autopilot is a Trutak Sorcerer.

What? no integrated Garmin autopilot? I thought that was supposed to be the best part?

Since I've got an inferiority complex and I don't like being so jealous of Scott and his beautiful panel, I thought I'd let you know that our company flying club is stocked full of G1000 172s, 182s, and even a couple of 206s.
I get to fly behind a G1000 for $50 per hour. Wet. So how do you like them apples!?
Seriously though, who would've ever imagined that a day would come that we Private Pilots would get to fly behind more sophisticated and powerful avionics than MANY of the corporate jet jocks are flying?

Other than the scheduling fee ($2.00 per hour scheduled, I think), which is supposed to help pay for the overhead costs of our online scheduling system, there are no other fees. Just the $50 per hour for a brand spankin' new 172S. Dues are $18 or $19 per month (I have them automatically deducted from my paycheck, so I never see them thus don't remember exactly what they are).
