Can I build a Stratux with just the GPS and AHRS?
I don't need ADS-B IN so I'd like to keep it as simple as possible without those long external antennas or anything else not needed and as a secondary advantage keep the power consumption to a minimum. I was looking at one of those complete kits and not install what I don't need but why spend the money on parts I'm not going to use or have receivers sucking up power and creating heat.
My goal would be to install the Stratus box permanently behind the avionics panel and a remote GPS antenna on the glareshield and just supply the GPS and AHRS info to my wifi-only iPad to use WingX to get synthetic vision and location.
