Day 2
The second day at Oshkosh has been great. Here are a few of the highlights-
TruTrak's new $1000 autopilot. It uses trim servos to control the pitch and roll
L3's new "affordable" EFIS - the Genesis. It starts at $6k. It seems like a nice unit, but it is clearly not targeted for the experimental community.
GRT released their Heads Up Display on a pair of Epson glasses. When I visited their booth they didn't have a set to try on. It works with both the HX and SX EFIS's, connected wirelessly via a bluetooth USB dongle on the back of the EFIS.
The 6 cylinder PMAG looks pretty impressive. The connector on it is much more sophisticated than what their 4 cylinder EMAG/PMAG's use. Brad indicated they should be shipping by August.
The media pass definitely pays off. For two years in a row the lovely ladies of Heavens Landing flocked towards me.
I ran into Captain John in the Fly Market. He was pretty happy with his new $150 folding chair.
We ran into Chad Jensen at Vertical Power. He hooked us up with some sweet swag, including a nice folding chair!
