Good evening, my new to me RV-7 has a GRT HRx and I am really starting to get the hang of it but the learning curve is very steep.
My the airplane also has a Garmin 430 WAAS GPS which is IFR certified. (When I purchased the airplane the owner made me promise I would get my IFR cert. so that is the plan but down the road.)
The HRx talks to the 430, but it also has the GRT remote mounted GPS, additionally I have a switch in the cockpit and the Trutrack Digiflight II auto pilot will talk to the HRx or the 430.
I wont get into adding a flight plan into either of them as I am learning that also, but what should be my primary navigation source? Meaning should I just input flight plans into the 430 and not the Hrx? What have others done?
I want to get the most out of my system but as a newbie need to tackle one issue at a time.
I will add that I have one more transition training lesson to do then I will have a little over 10 hours of training, that and my membership here is the best money I have spent. THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT
