Sandman993 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Posted April 3, 2019 Received a ping from Garmin today the g3x is now available for your airplanes! price sucks, 10.6” certified = $10,000 “ Experimental = $3,800 three guesses what I think of that 1
Bryan Posted April 3, 2019 Report Posted April 3, 2019 Just to note, too, that the GFC 500 (only compatible autopilot) is only available for the long body aircraft today. The mid-bodies are expected next but no firm data has been provided.
MIm20c Posted April 3, 2019 Report Posted April 3, 2019 I have to say the price is amazing imo. A 38% ($3,300) increase for all the work that is involved for certification sounds fair to me. It makes the txi seem a little overpriced but that’s the only beef I have.
Steve Dawson Posted April 3, 2019 Report Posted April 3, 2019 I know it's a moot point but it's still less than the G500TXi that is $15,995. Compared to the Dynon HDX with it's auto pilot or adding the GFC 500 with the G3X cert plus G5 it's relatively only a little more. And at least the Garmin is available soon.

ArtVandelay Posted April 4, 2019 Report Posted April 4, 2019 How does the display compare to the TXi, I assume they have both?Tom
Hector Posted April 5, 2019 Report Posted April 5, 2019 Looked at the G3x today at SnF. My brother in law was getting ready to buy a GTN750 but now is debating whether the G3x with a Garmin 175 is a better option. The G3x would provide even larger screen than the 750 and the Garmin 175 would feed the GPS navigation to the G3x Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3
helitim Posted April 8, 2019 Report Posted April 8, 2019 I installed a GTN 750 in my J and bought a Searey with the G3X touch and prefer the G3X. Easier to maneuver through the functions and provides full engine monitoring on one device. Added a GPS20 and it is now ADS-B compliant. Much better performance for the price in my opinion.
