During an overhaul I had dual SureFly mags installed in my 06 O3 with G1000. A/P IA and now a second avionics shop has not had any luck getting the EI R1 to respond correctly. The EI bounces around between 1500 and 1800 while steady at 2400rpm - https://share.icloud.com/photos/087h-qmOAZMjCFNkNQxNzGjzQ At the direction of SureFly, I also purchased the Tach2 module to get the 5V to the G1000 for the tachometer. Still no EI tach luck. EI support said the '06 R1 model tach, was in some cases not compatible with the signal from the SureFly and recommended a new R1, which I purchased only to have the exact same results. Has anyone with this setup been successful in having the EI work with a dual SureFly install. Love the hot start and overall performance of the SureFly but not happy the output from them is not seemingly compatible with the EI Tach.

Yes I do.

Jim, Well done. Any chance you’d share the length and height of your cowl stand. Serious pain to do solo without scratching the paint. Took mine off today and was wishing I had a stand like yours. Thanks for sharing,

I have a pair of freshly overhauled, S6RSC-25 PN 10-500556-1 Magnetos. These were overhauled by T&W after being removed from my IO-550G, and were replaced with a pair of SureFly's. Located in Tampa. $1300 each. Buy both and I will include the harness that were removed also.

This post is to gauge support. M is not going to invest in any G1000 upgrade certification for what ever reason. In speaking with the folks at G, if we had 50 G1000 owners who are interested in upgrading the G1000 to a yet to be defined GXXXX version, they would make it happen. In G's mind M is dead. FWIW I had my avionics shop price a Synthetic Vision unlock thru M and it was north of $10K. In closing, IF you've got a G1000 and would be interested in upgrading, reply with YES. There is no commitment I am just trying to gauge interest. Cheers!!

100% agree. This post has taken an interesting path. Enjoying the banter.

Going to be upgrading the Ameri-King AK-450 ELT soon. Has anyone upgraded theirs yet? Interested to see what upgrades are being done. 2006 Ovation 3

Does anyone know if the G1000 has the capability to display the % of power. Possible software update? Thanks for the feedback. BTW I was quoted $10,220 for the SVT unlock recently.
