Well, what had to happen, happened. My Blue mountain lite G4 Efis went dead on me this week having suffered from a toasted CPU Board. I can have it fixed for approximatly 1000$ but is it really worth it? Will I have a few years of trouble free operation? From what I have seen so far with the unit, it's reliability is somewhat shaky so I've been wondering, would it be better to start thinking about a whole new panel with reliable avionics?
Many systems are out there and none are more tempting that Garmin's dual screen G3X system but as with any systems Garmin makes, it is also the most expensive so I'm asking all you avionics techno wizards: What would be the best Efis system (excluding G3X), having engine monitoring capabilities, synthetic vision, compatibility with a GNS 430W and can interface properly with an autopilot (to be bought since my BMA autopilot would also have to be removed..) would you choose? Dynon, GRT, Advanced, Trutrack? Any feedbacks on past experiance with any of these systems. What Autopilot would you add to it? Is Garmin the only way to go regardless of priceconsidering I will fly IFR with my new avionics.
Thanks For your help.
