PTK Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I've been watching this little guy since it first was announced. Has come down in price quite a bit too. Any opinions? I thought there was a thread on it but can't seem to be able to find it. Remarkably it's DAL level A. The Trilogy is only level C! Certifications: FAA TSO certified to C2d, C3e, C4c, C10b, C106, C113a, C179a RTCA DO-178B and DO-254 Design Assurance Level (DAL) A RTCA DO-160 qualified Here are the L3 Trilogy Certifications: TSO-C2d, TSO-C4c, TSO-C6d, TSO-C10b, TSO-C113, TSO-C106 Hardware: DO-254, Level C Software: DO-178B, Level B
kmyfm20s Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Love it! Battery backup works better than advertised, I pulled the circuit breaker to test it. The screens are bright with a matt finished and the frame is aluminum, excellent quality. The Baro setting transfers from my G500 or similar but can be entered independently. If your replacing the standard 3 pack then you will save a lot of space but they will have to fab a cover plate for the new shape.
Alan Fox Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I have one that was won by a friend of mine at Oshkosh last year , It is still at Mid Continent , if any one is interested PM me...
Tom Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 The Sandia Quattro with essentially the same utility as the SAM is supposed to sell in the $3000-$3500 range and should be delivering in the next few months. Of course Sandia has been saying "the next few months" for a couple years it seems. This does seem to be on track for real production. Unless I am missing something, I don't know who will purchase the SAM or Trilogy once the Quattro is selling. This said, what are you looking to get for the SAM Alan?
Alan Fox Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I would say in the area of 75% of wholesale 5500 to 6000 dollars.... Keep in mind that is new (Basically we have a coupon to redeem it from MCIC (mid continent) ) As far as waiting for Sandia ,it is entirely possible that they will be cheaper , but I have Been flying with ADS-B out almost 2 years now , and most people are still waiting..... Sometimes its better to pay a little more , than wait..... I also don't believe that Sandia will have a unit for 3500.00 Sandia makes high quality goods and they are priced accordingly .....
Tom Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Spruce and other venders are currently selling the Sandia Quattro for $2995 (list price is $3595). It was supposed to hit the market in May; don't know what happened. Certainly things could be delayed again and again. The Quattro is otherwise a $3,000 version of a product that Dynon sells for $1000. Once the Quattro is shipping I have to assume that SAM and Trilogy sales will essentially stop to us small piston guys.

Alan Fox Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 Spoke to the owner , and because he won it in a giveaway where he was one of the cosponsors , He said it wouldn't sit well with him to sell it....
