My avionics guy had a webinar and called me right away. We called the shop and placed the order on hold as I was told the announcement for this would happen at Oshkosh. Looks like I will get one of these very soon in my Rocket. Tom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the press release it appears that certificated aircraft enjoy a $1K premium, but at least it's not $10K. Something about flying, floating, facing water.... The G5 retails for $2,149 or $2,499 with an optional GPS antenna, and both include the installation kit, back-up battery and STC.

You would be in hog heaven PTK! Not to beat a dead horse too much, but has anybody heard updates on the KI-300? Seems like a solution to me. My MX guy is at OSH told him to stop by the Bendix King booth and get an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyntgr1 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 EAA is charging $100 for the Dynon STC. I would assume the Garmin is the same. The real siappointing thing to me is the price on Garmins website. Unless I'm reading something wrong, they are charging $1199 for the experimental G5. However, they are charging $2149 for the same unit with less functionality for the stc'd unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxMike Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Mark, I checked with King several months ago. They are saying the KI 300 will be out first Q17. The rumor is the backup battery would run the system long enough to meet FAA spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's AI only with airspeed and altitude. No Hsi or VOR. It's a different part number than the experimental version.

Ok, then it should be called a G 2 1/2....hey Garmin, let me know when you are serious, this sounds like a hack, I'll bet its same hardware with different firmware to disable other features.

1964-M20E Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 The FAA and the bureaucrats need to step aside on these issues and let us equip our planes with the latest technology as we see fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it should be a concern to you, Peter, it doesn't say Garmin on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetdriven Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) The rep at OSH said the G5 was ATSM standards but the G3x touch was not, so there may not be a path for that unit into a certified airplane per se'. But something else may be coming. I said hurry up Edited July 26, 2016 by jetdriven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
