Huh? Top overhaul done after a prop strike and that is what was repaired? Cylinders would not be my items of concern, unless they were already toast. You need the crank & cam checked, bearings inspected, etc. If there is no doc showing that was performed, I'd run not walk away from this. Likely...

Speak with Garmin engineering. Steve there is very knowledgeable. They will draw it out for you. Also, a G500 is a different box than a G500TXi. Directly from Engineering. Fortunately, GFC 500 integration with G500 is pretty straight forward. Just install a GFC 500, then connect 3 A429...

In case you're on the fence...excellent customer service from these guys. Very happy.

Word is Signature gives the group money. Can't bit the hand that feeds ya now...

Stratux an option? Much cheaper than both options mentioned and works with a variety of apps.

They both do the same thing, but the boxes used to accomplish the end result are quite different, and as such, the wiring is different. One module simply snaps onto the back of the TXi unit and it’s a data plug for connectivity, where a harness is needed in the G500 for a separate box mounted...

No sir. G500 vs G500TXi. Boxes and wiring harnesses needed for each are very different. I am not talking G5 here.

Where is the airplane?

Omg these costs are not right to me! A TXi is easier to install a G500. Ads-b 10k? For single engine? To each his own I guess.

Whoa. 30k installed for base unit? Sounds high to me. There has to be more into this price.

All the radio waves in his house.....the DOT may soon start transmitting to my brain. That would scare me when his voice commands get my brain to do something I can't make it do!!!!

I hear ya! I have a G500 as well and am strongly considering installing the G5 as back-up and ditching everything else. BTW - with a G500 and a G5, you install a GFC500 AP and either unit will drive the AP in the event one of the devices fail. That's huge in my book. Now I need to get the CFO to...

The partnership they are referring to is likely the AFS, LLC. group. Appareo, ForeFlight, Sportys. Ever wonder why you could only buy a Stratus from Sportys and initially it only worked with ForeFlight. Nah..all coincidence.

I believe he mishandled setting the autopilot as the steps/buttons were different from his Mustang (prior jet). As a result he was trying to engage/set it to level the plane while flying it and lost control. What a very sad accident -the whole family is gone.

Very sorry to hear more surgery, but we're all pulling for you and your wife. Get well soon!!!

Required training? I don't want to train in something I don't fly regularly. My plane is placarded "Intentional Spins Prohibited". What we need is more emergency situation training. Go fly with a CFI then have him throw a situation you're totally unprepared for. How do you handle? In...

Whoa. This is big stuff for those with Garmin stacks. And huge news for the autopilot vendors. Game changed, and TruTrak and Trio aren't even out for large number of certified models yet...

1. Full transparency. 2. Competition is mandatory. These two benefit everyone, keep service levels high, and everyone wins. What is so hard about this? Politicians make deals, and that ruins for everyone.

If you have not had an opportunity to listen to this, it’s worthwhile. They make a few statements that confirm what people have posted in this thread. Jump 15 or so minutes into the recording to pick up the discussion...

You can get the old pro for $149 if you ask. Used to anyway.
