I am looking to upgrade my panel and would like feedback from CURRENT G3X users regarding the autopilot and specifically the 305 panel adjustment.
My current thought is I do not need it and I would like to save the panel space, not to mention the money, especially if current users say using the touch screen is just fine. I spoke with Garmin and they are supposed to be releasing a software upgrade to the G3X to allow for the IAS to be used from the G3X, as of right now you have to have the 305 to adjust a climb/descent using IAS. The 305 also brings to the table the LEVEL feature but the box is still not stand alone. You lose your G3X you still lose your capabilities.
I really appreciate any feedback from users of this G3X system, keeping in mind my missions for my 8 are:
1. Formation
2. Aerobatics
3. Short Cross Country & Light IFR
Thanks again for your feedback.
