MIm20c

Mount for the camera.

I’m not sure it will fit on the left side. The display is fairly large. Here is a picture of mine to give you a size comparison next to the cdi (I’d recommend taking out the nav 2, dropping down the cdi, and putting the 830 above it). Edit: on second thought probably mounting it where your current nav 2 resides is the best spot. Mounted with the button on the top.

The 930 is a couple thousand more than the 900 and also quite a bit larger. I think the ec-1 is a smaller opening 2 1/4 vs 3 1/8 that the 830 requires. The big advantage to the primary units is that it brings everything together. However, I find the 830 provides everything thing I need for setting power, learning the engine, keeping track of fuel burn, and monitoring for problems. I do glance at the primary instruments but only after each reading is observed/set via the JPI.

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

TriFlow really helped mine. I used the squeeze bottle for the second application and it was less noticeable smell wise.

Where did the MP and RPM go? Horizontal placement limits display?

I really like my 830. The layout is great and easy to read. Everything important is always displayed which reduces the need to push buttons.

You can change the layout (vert/horz) after the fact on the 900 unit without sending it back to the factory.

Still a ton of capability for 12k imo. That AP will be a huge upgrade from the stec 50 I’m using. I wonder if the 500 will take heading inputs from the Aspen if I install a G5 AI to drive everything else. I really like everything about the Aspen.

As @smccray mentioned I cross over the right side of the yoke with a short or medium arm (can’t remember which) and attach it to the holder mounted upside down. My problem was the clamp to Aspen knob space was minimal so I had to use a non standard clamp to make it work.

I like both options equally. However, I would not place the 900 over on the copilot side and most panels do not have the space for a 930 on the left like @LANCECASPER ‘s old plane. The 900’s $2k savings could buy a good amount of 100ll.

Great thing about this product is YOU can choose to purchase and install it. It is not being forced on those who don’t want to pull the lever.

I use a cheap leather sleeve to store the iPad in my flight bag. I also hope a new mini is released in the future.

On the copilot side I would recommend a larger iPad. The mini works perfectly on the yoke. I have mine mounted the same as @Marauder with the form fitted ram mount upside down except mine is mounted to the right as much as possible. The shell for the mini is ~$20 and with talk of discontinuing that size I might not upgrade for a long time. The real trick is getting the angle right so the instruments behind are not blocked. The only items blocked for me include the strobe and nav light switch. My install was a little more difficult because the aspen knob clearance and the tube clamp.

The AI portion of the of the G5 AI is certified primary the airspeed and altitude is certified “secondary” not to be confused with a certified backup source.

A good idea but the g5 is not a primary source of airspeed or altitude. You need to keep the old stuff close.

The AP is 7k and the dual g5’s come in at 5k. The total I come up with is 12k for the parts. Notice the G5 in the bonanza backing up the old G500 pfd? Also notice the panel cutout around the old G500, probably about the same size as the new G500.

Most have a JPI already and the other items are included minus the 43 which would not be needed with a ki300 backup. So IF a plane has a good AP, etc the txi series might be a cost effective option.

I guess I’m the only one on this forum who is excited about this offering. Looks to be perfect for the individual who has a nice panel and is looking to add a pfd. Probably real world pricing will be around $17.5 k for a 10 inch display w/ svt. This is for a real certified tso’d unit that will probably be certified in 600 aircraft before the skyview clears the 172 install. If the ki300 is ever produced it might make a perfect pair in the ovations and bravos.

Everything is priced individually. The AP will be a separate purchase.

Wow...that 10 inch display looks amazing.

I’m not sure if the 5100 includes the G5? I wonder if they are going to sell the 500 over the counter and the 600 via Garmin dealers only?

I found this LINK helpful, but I’m normally wrong about things

It changes with % power. But 20-50 LOP to 50 ROP is what I’ve heard for 65-75 % power. So ideally 50 LOP or jump to 100 ROP for high power settings.

From the responses and links it looks like the first 10 mins after takeoff might have considerably higher rates of engine failures. Lately my sop is to pull back to 25 squared when I get to pattern altitude. My instructor suggested that for noise reasons. I’m wondering if I should leave it full forward until MP comes down on its own. At what MP would it be safe to reduce RPM to 2500? I’ve been told not to reduce prop at full power settings. If the engine is more likely to have a problem after a power change I feel like 3-4K feet would give me a lot more options vs 1000 ft pull to 25 squared.
