We’re down here in the camper now and are getting ready for a great week.  We have N416EC here and I will be hanging around it a fair bit as well as going through the vendor tents.  If there is anybody who isn’t able to be here and really wants to hear the updates on a certain product, let me know and I will see what I can do.  I have internet here, so will plan to keep up on the list stuff in the evenings.

If you run across any EFIS info, right now the 2 things I am most interested in is Grand Rapids new addition to its EFIS and if Dynon is going to match it in the next by next summer when I plan on placing my order for the main unit, which ever brand I go with.

Eggenfellner is there, and he has my E6T in the booth, and  it should be one of the first few to ship after the show.

How about if TruTrak is going to unveil that 2.25 ADI this year?

It's in their booth and they said they should be in production in 2 weeks.

I have 3 on order, so I was very interested in it.

I didn't get any info on Great Plains, but Dynon's new HSI add-on unit is very nice.  Also, I really like the new options in the software update coming up soon (which is and always will be free to anybody who owns a Dynon).  The HSI gives a knob that defaults to baro adjustment, which eliminates the need to use the menu, and it also gives verbal warnings instead of just a beep.  It also accepts just about any input from a NAV radio or GPS, so you are not limited to just the SL-30 for glideslope anymore, and it will give the glideslope info on a WAAS approach also, if the GPS has that info.  It could actually serve as an HSI and a 2nd CDI at the same time because it has enough inputs, that it can have the HSI display and have another marker that will point to another VOR.  Now the problem is that there is so much information that one 7" screen isn't big enough.  They are pushing for the option to turn the screens vertical, which would allow for 2 of them side-by-side on the left side of the panel while keeping the radio stack left of center (where it should be, IMHO).  They are talking about bigger screens, GPS moving map, and Auto Pilot functions, but there is nothing to report.



Oh yeah, and they have a heated AOA pitot now, that has a controller similar to that of the Gretz pitot, so you can just turn it on and leave it on.  The AOA display looks really good in the new software (although I don't remember what it looked like before).



Also, there is the option to display a couple of pieces of engine info on the efis page (the display was showing RPM and MAP) for when you are showing the EFIS and HSI pages and no engine monitor (this is mainly a plus for the FlightDEK people).



DSAB is soon to be fully utilized, so only 2 wires connecting all Dynon units will share all info.  I really like that.  The best setup, IMHO, is a FlightDEK and an EFIS to get 2 screens, redundancy and battery backup on the engine monitor info.



Yes, the AFS stuff looked great, but I continue to like the Dynon price point and stability.

I couldn't tell a lot of difference, but the physical unit looked different

on the front, with the hi-res screen sunken in instead of flush on the front

like the earlier screens.  They mentioned that it is now anti-aliased, so a

line like the horizon that is not perfectly horizontal would appear as a

perfect non-horizontal line, instead of an array of short offset horizontal

lines.  I did notice, however, that this is not completely true, as at least

one line that I looked at was not anti-aliased.  I do like the GRT system

and the amount of information that it offers, but I am not crazy about the

graphics.  I think they leave a lot to be desired.  Also, with so many

functions in the same unit, there is just TONS of menu/submenu structure

that seems to quite surpass even the Dynon, which has a fair bit of menu

structure.



That is one thing that TruTrak's EFIS is combating, with very little menu

structure and very little "extra" info on the screen.  The downside of the

TruTrak is that even the Engine Monitor will have to be a separate screen.

I like the option of having an auto pilot built into the EFIS, but not even

giving a TAS calculation or any engine info seems to be quite limited,

especially since it is starting at $4,000.  It will be a perfect fit for a

specific market, but I think the -10 needs more info front and center

instead of just a 7" screen that combines 4-5 of the 6-pack instruments in

the same amount of space.  What is has going for it is the clean and super

easy function, which some will definitely go for.

Even though he adopted this one and it was not of a natural birth, I am sure 

Dan is suffering some serious seperation anxeity at this point.

THX for the pics, I am getting a good collection from  people who have seen my engine at the booth. It is supposed to ship as soon as  they get back from S&F, so hopefully it will be mounted and running shortly  thereafter!
