Just a little teaser pic of what you can see at our booth at Oshkosh. This is a picture of a production model using production parts. Sorry no pics of it powered up. You'll have to come by the booth for that.
I think my credit card just spontaneously combusted in anticipation!
Lucas,
We need pricing and availability info and please post pics of the powered up unit after Osh begins.....some of us have to work to make money to buy one so we can't be at the show
Can you fill us in on any details like how the interface works etc like how to set the alt and stuff like that? Backup power?
The price is right!
Nice! I can't wait to meet/bug you a bit at OSH!
Hi Brian,
1.) $1300 for the PFD.
2.) Yes and no. It will have a velocity vector display, but also show true pitch attitude. This will be a user selectable option between the two.
3.) Baro set will be done on the main screen with the touch screen controls.
4.) It is a transflective display, so direct sunlight doesn't diminish its readability.
5.) There will not be an integrated battery to save weight. We do have our ADI battery. We also sell TCW products, including their Integrated Backup Battery System.
6.) Just like the ADI, power, ground, RS232, pitot, static. That's it. Dimming will be internally controlled with a user selectable level from the main screen.
Very cool. No airspeed display? Battery backup?
What I'm getting at is whether this would make for a good back up ADI to supplement the G3X/GX combo should disaster strike.
Just looked at the links. I like. How much will one of these cost me? I am looking for these kind of items for my 8. Economy, without vacuum pumps. I prefer electric/electronics. No fancy, glass for me, no money for that, but I do like'em. Basic day/night vfr is what I'm looking for. Very light, no extra weight either. thanks

The PFD version will have airspeed and altitude tapes. I don't have one of those to show yet, but I'll keep everyone informed on how that progress goes. We're on target for the October/November releases.
No internal battery as we wanted to keep the unit very small. We sell an external battery made by TCW Technologies. It's a 1.5 Ah battery that is smaller than their large IBBS.
Thanks!

Lucas,
Will it be possible to use our own backup battery? Do we have to use the TCW unit? While I appreciate TCW's products, the idea here is to keep the cost down and I know I can come up with a less expensive solution.
Did you guys move away from the arc'd DG concept that is posted on the what's new page?
Is this a drop in replacement for the ADI Pilot II?
