MBDiagMan Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 It does indeed appear to be a game changer. I was afraid of this. I got my planes ADS-B equipped, one of them a week ago and the other a year ago. I was afraid that something better would come along and it did. Haste makes waste. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJMac Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Totally a big deal. Making me want to jump both feet into the G pool. GFC500, G3X, GTN750. Way nice. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely taking a swing at Aspen-Touch screen, better looking display, bigger area... and cheaper. unless aspen reprices their “Max” displays, they are about to lose a ton of business. Looks like Garmin is finally “getting it.” Edited March 25, 2019 by M016576 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Garmin is finally “getting it.” I was just talking with my aspen guy about to pull a trigger. He's on spring break this week so I waited. Apparently that was a blessing! Likely confirms what I saw on a beech post earlier today that aspen was going to drop their new Max pricing at Sun and fun.

Niko182 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 This is actually spectacular. i just remembered that the g3x can have a remote Nav/Com. G3X, GTN750, GNX375 for a transponder, A remote #2 nav/com, and a GFC500, and a G5 as a backup. that is a nice panel right there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will control the 225/255 not sure abou the SL30/40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aspen has the displays, Avidyne the only other real WAAS GPS for GA. Avidyne sort of has an autopilot, but I'd guess Trio or TruTrak would fill that component. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7in G3X costs the same as the Kl300 with the AP adapter, but replaces all the instruments, and can run the King AP's/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only thing I'm sad about is that the rumored KI256 integration/replacement by Garmin doesn't seem to have appeared for the G3x touch/G5.

With the lower prices of the g3x I think many people are going to dig really deep and put in the gfc500. They’re going to sell a ton of those AP’s... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although maybe I can get a good deal on a used G5 HSI to start it off(as an eventual G3x backup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
