Hello Bill,

Brian is correct, you can add a GSU 25 to your system without removing anything, and gain the benefit of a second ADAHRS as well as angle of attack. That's what I'm doing with my airplane, which already had a GSU 73 in it.

Matt, is there any update to the time frame for deliveries for the new system? Mine is on order and the eta keeps getting pushed bad due to no install manual being available.

Hello Haydn,

Unfortunately I don't have visibility into the order system, but I do know that the new products listed in my earlier post are shipping - that would be the GEA 24, GSU 25, GAP 26 (-00 version), GSA 28, and GMC 305. I know we've been flooded with orders, so it may be a little while until they get caught up.

I'm not sure the information about the manuals is completely accurate as of this writing, as the current install manual and pilot's guide are both available on the web right now. Hope that helps.

- Matt

The install manual is available for download in the Garmin website...and new systems have been shipping now - though I happen to know there are a LOT of systems on order!

Depending on where you are in the queue with your dealer and Garmin, I'd bet it'll arrive before too long. We had another cutomer stop by and pick his up today; so I can confirm they are shipping.

Cheers,
Stein

Its OK, we must be on the bottom of the list. Apparently no one down under can get their hands on Garmin gear at the moment. I cant even get a GTX23ES and one of my fuel probes took over 6 weeks to arrive in Australia.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the GMC 305 (hole size needed) for panel planning purposes?

Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks!

My version was only F (vs K), the manual changed a lot since then.

Default New & Improved?

As we were near placing an order for a complete dual G3X system, some friends and an avionics sales person suggested waiting for 6 to 9 months. The logic is anything bought now will soon be obsolete, and future pricing may be more attractive. The fuselage of our project is ready now for wiring / avionics, plus it is open on one side making access simple.

We will not fly before September of 2014. Should we forge ahead, or tap the brakes just a bit?
