Hi Folks,
I am just flying my RV-8 after panel upgrade, I am amazing with Trutrack autopilot, I flew an ILS to runway 17L at SCEL, they asked me to maintain full speed because traffic, so we flew ILS at 180 Kts and Trutrack hold the app without any problem see video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WWxnDY0FQME
G3X and Trutrack works a lot better than expected I give them both a 10.
Zaon works really good showing traffic (we don't have TIS or ADS-B in Chile or Southamerica), I mounted Zaon on left wing tip, sending signal to G3X via RS-232. I will give Zaon a 8.
I have two Bob archer antennas, one on each wing tip, hey are working fine on VOR and ILS on both radios GTN650 and SL30. I will give antennas a 8.
SL30 is an amazing nav/com, measure transmit power is 12 watt. I will give a 10
GTN 650 is an amazing GPS but no so good nav/com compare with SL30, measure transmit power is just 8 watt, it pickup more interference than SL30 (I can hear music from a local station when flying over city, but just on GTN no SL30) also I am able to hear and be hear further on SL30 without interference, same happens with VOR. I have two Rami AV-17 antennas mounted on the belly. So by price and performance I will give a 6 to GTN650, I think they need to upgrade nav/com hardware.
Cheers,
