cheapest to get all you want, gnx-375 + 2x g5.

just so happens, the only guy i know with aBravo, talks constantly about how much he misses his M20E. i'm sure he's just trying to keep me from asking for a ride 8) Glass is a big nothing burger, you'll get to used to it very quickly. First thing you'll notice is how everything is presented rougly like a 6 pack.

come on now, you know we use vice grips

Just put mine in a toolbox on top of a few paper towels, no issues.

Just finished the magnetic survey for the gmu-11, what a pain. Tip: take the magnetic tablet/phone pencil out of your pocket before starting the survey, the gmu is super sensitive. was totally confused why i kept failing when trying to turn on switches and things.

far as i can tell the brittain is well into the owner maintained category at this point, my last contact for brittain repairs is no longer answering the phone. I'd try the mooney service centers, most likely Don or Paul Maxwell @KGGG.

I'm still thinking the trutrak is the absolute best value, 90% capability of the others, much cheaper. so i had this plan, if trutrak came out before i purchased a g5/gi-275, i'd install trutrak. sometime in the next two weeks, I'll have a pair of g5's installed and while technically trutrak was first, you still can't get one. so now, that i'll have prereqs for a gfc-500, i'm in the same boat, trutrak or gfc500. personally, i'm hoping the perfectly working brittain sticks around for a few years more, as in 10, so i don't have to make a choice. what i'd like to know, what is the install estimate for the gfc500 once you have the underlying components. if it's still 20k+ no question, trutrak.

G5's arrived, was super excited until amazon sent a note rescheduling delivery of EVERYTHING we need to install

purchased 2x g5's, waiting on the harness to be built. Thank you Saint, aircraft spruce and sarasota avionics. No thanks to Garmin and a number of other "Good" avionics shops.

Same boat, my AI took a piss couple weeks back, finally decided on the g5's due to availability and upgrade path to the g3x and gfc500.

Brittain b5, unfortunately, due to not being on any drawing or compatability list, no avionics shop will connect it anyway. trutrak or gfc500 are most likely in my future

I'm trying to decide between a g5 ai or a gi-275 but am stuck thinking about upgrade paths. thinking birdy will eventually be upgraded to a g3x as primary with a g5 or gi-275 as backup and would like to know what those configs looks like from a hardware/wiring point of view. anyone have the appropriate installation manual they can share?

Not sure on the make, it has absolutely no markings. unfortunately no pics, totally slipped my mind. Yes, was on IR but thankfully was cavu. It's vacuum powered, heck might be the original 1974 instrument. The Vacuum powered autopilot( Brittain ) worked perfectly which makes me think it isn't vacuum related. I did tap the glass with my finger, which then caused the gyro to behave normally for the rest of the flight. already reaching out to see what 2x gi275's cost hopes aren't really high, i hear there's something like a 6 to 9mos wait

Something weird today, during my flight from Dallas to Houston, my attitude indicator started careening all over the place, looked like a game of ping pong. not sure what to think, def not what i was expecting, was really disconcerting; glad i wasn't in actual. any clue ?

hmm, let me see. Diamond DA-62 Cessna T337 Commander 1000 phenom 300e cessna cj4+ etc...

yes, the wheel bottoms out in either direction

One thing i've noticed about my birdy, starting to think i need rigging, she's usually trimmed full nose down or pretty close when straight and level with a passenger and bags. Anyone else?

I've left it open, it's never popped open on its own

I installed the Whelen Parmetheus Plus 46 in my E maybe 3 years ago, No complaints. Very Bright. I believe the newer version is even better

sell the G5's to pay for a GI-275 and go with 2x gi-275

I was told by one of the fuel tank specialist to just ignore it.

so question, is this different from the gascolater on an E? Mine works just like the other fuel drains, insert fuel drainey cup get fuel

Had this happen to me, dumb pilot guy didn't latch the door properly. I gave the guy a stern talking to 8). put her in a slight climb, reached over closed and latched the door. not a biggie

i'm going with the single gi-275, seems so much cleaner and it's round.
