Doc Mike Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Planning to update the old girl. Dynon was my plan but now Aspen is in the hunt. My radio guy is giving me a lot of info but I would like some real Mooney input. Current equipment: S-Tech 50, Avidyne 440, GTX 345, Plan: new audio panel, Com2, loose all steam and engine gages, new switches. JPI eng monitor.... SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.

Not sure what you’re thinking for a budget, but since you’ve got a few different manufacturers already in the panel it’s probably not a good candidate for Garmin. Lots of happy Aspen/Avidyne/JPI customers here. Seems like you’re on the right track. I’m kind of curious whether Avidyne will add more aircraft to the AML for the Vantage displays - might be a real competitor for the G3X. But not available now, in any case. Quote
Yetti Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 Dynon has lots of integrated stuff. It's nice Quote
Doc Mike Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Posted September 22, 2021 but it will not talk to my AP and there AP still not approved in the Mooney. Quote
TTaylor Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 Go down and look at Marauder's 1975 F panel. Quote
RobertGary1 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 Keep the vacuum attitude indicator. The cheapest backup you’ll ever have from someone who has had a dual AHRS failure. Quote
carusoam Posted September 23, 2021 Report Posted September 23, 2021 For the Non-G route… Dynon is a strong contender… there are several Mooneys nicely equipped… waiting on the DFC90…(?) (see @PilotFun101’s panel…) Aspens are nice… aging a bit already… great, if your upgrade plan is one screen every other year or so… Some of the best equipment out there is non-G… The best audio panel is made by PSEngineering… We have Mark around here always answering product questions… The best nav/coms Avidyne… We have Bryan always ready to answer questions… The best engine monitor… EI… We have Oregon always ready to answer questions… The best fully integrated system…. Big G… We have KL… a great resource…. Their main CS guy hides out at BT… Everything is constantly changing… Except for BK…. Steady as a rock…. Can’t keep up with the changes… We had a BK guy around here for a while… If you like integrating electronic systems… the Non-G route is a great way to go… their customer service guys are great resources to have… If you prefer to just pay the bill, and have the whole thing integrated for you… Big G is a Pretty comfortable route… PP thoughts only, not an electronics integrator… Best regards, -a- Quote
