Oldguy Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 The G500 looks like it starts at ~$12K. Lots of opportunities to add features and cost as well.

Meh - I want even more the digital autopilot with upset recovery and envelope protection. I will probably spend less money with their "poor boy sandwich" G5+GFC500
peevee Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 11 minutes ago, aviatoreb said: Argh - its coming - it was on stop because of the construction argument between the airport, the state, and the construction company, that ended up literally parked and dusty tore up the tarmac etc in front of the paint company's hangar. At least they were good not to paint through that. They wrapped my plane in plastic for months and it was stuck.....half taken apart, stripped, undercoat painted, and then trapped in the world of dust and construction arguments. So the paint is back underway! :-O This month.... Anyway a new special kind of product came out that is being added to the paint - top secret surprise.... that sucks man, sorry to hear.

(From savings from zero direct operating costs over many months now). Its gonna be gorgeous - wait till you see the magic paint I picked - its truly like nothing I have ever seen. Top secret.

Better copyright it we may be plane free by the weekend if all goes well. once the rocket is gone, no point in hanging around here anymore I guess. 1
Bryan Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 So which one could my mid-body get? G500 TXi or the 600?
ArtVandelay Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 So which one could my mid-body get? G500 TXi or the 600? 2 7" displays with EIS...about $30000...call it $40000 with installation, not counting options like SVT, etc
aviatoreb Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 How much for G5+GFC500? Is this stuff certified yet or is this for "3rd quarter of 20xx".
Cruiser Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 there is nothing to see here......... move on.
Bryan Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 G500 TXI - Part 23 under 6000 lbs, optional SVT G600 TXI - Part 23 below 12,5, standard SVT G700 - Part 25 and Part 23 over 12,500 EIS TXI - standalone EIS
KSMooniac Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 I specifically asked about possible GFC500 integration in lieu of the G5 and it was deflected... I bet when GFC600 sales slow (or don't take off) then such an option might be offered to us. Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk
KSMooniac Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 These could be Aspen and JPI/EI killers, but not at these prices.Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk
aviatoreb Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 What did they say about autopilots - is this system including autopilots or in addition to autopilots or what? and what did they say when available? Third quarter 2017?
MIm20c Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 Everything is priced individually. The AP will be a separate purchase. 4 minutes ago, aviatoreb said: What did they say about autopilots - is this system including autopilots or in addition to autopilots or what? and what did they say when available?

ArtVandelay Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 TXIs are expected to be certified soon, they are not available yet.The G600 TXI and the 600 AP, all in, will be close to $100K installed.I hate the redundant use of 500/600 numbers. Especially silly considering the TXI 500 doesn't work with the GFC 500. 1
Piloto Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) For $3K you can get an 80" HDTV and recliner to enjoy all those videos with your family in your plane. Check with the boss. Edited October 4, 2017 by Piloto 3

Do they plan on anything for us ... less than 100k? Trutrek is looking pretty good!

Get a GPU to play with it in the hangar because there will be no money left for fuel. José
Rwsavory Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 Well I just logged in to see what the fuss was all about. Kind of reminds me of Al Capone’s Vault, without the exciting reveal at the end. 1
