You are correct about the basic unit estimated price $1000, the one with airspeed and altitude $1300.
The 780 (DIIVS on steroid) autopilot $4500 and the 880 (DIIVSGV) $5500
The engine monitor $1500 plus pobes.

For use as your PFD, then yes, it's probably not ideal...I notice that no-one has mentioned how small the screen is on this new TruTrak offering. My guess is that it's under 3" diagonal.
That size of screen is way smaller than the smallest Dynon and I'm wondering out loud if it is realistic to have a 6 pack PFD on such a small screen. I'm not certain I'd like to be flying in serious soup with so much info crammed onto such a small screen.
KRviator is correct. They are intended as backup instruments, not as primaries. At this time we haven't decided if we are integrating the AHRS or using a separate module. Most likely we will integrate it like our ADI.
Yes, I understand. But when the primary fails in soup...the back-up becomes the primary. That's a LOT of information on a VERY small screen for a pilot attempting an IFR approach. Obviously it would be considerably better than nothing at all but I'm just thinking aloud when I wonder it it would be ideal in those circumstances.

I can't wait for Altitude preselect.....
Its been a year since they announced this gemini series of autopilot heads. Floating this thread back to the top. Is this Gemini project under development anymore? Did anyone at Sun n' Fun ask Trutrak about this? I'd like to get one but need to make a purchase pretty soon. I'd like to understand if this project has been cancelled all together.
Thanks,

Well, August rolled around and we got informed that Apple, Inc. had purchased ALL of the displays and controllers. We were unable to even get a single one for development purposes until late January of this year. So we lost at least six months of development time on the project due to that.
So, which Apple product(s) does the Gemini series share a display with?
