Andrew also talked about the heading and baro sync integrations with E5 / G5. He also mentioned that altitude bug and altitude preselect were coming (not clear if in this next update or not???) . Electric trim is coming at some point, but right now their radar is getting more airframes added...

Anybody catch the webinar last night? Andrew Barker from TruTrak said the firmware will be released around mid-May. Should include the integrations with Aspen E5 and Garmin G5.

HEHEHEHEHE... I wonder if they will open it up to a Q/A session. We should all join up and just hammer them with questions about the TruTrak firmware update.

I Dunno I actually think it's very much worthwhile... Which is why I am doing exactly that right now. The E5 let's me pull my vacuum system now, gives me a really great display with tons of info ans it pairs with my IFD540.. Mty TruTrak will still work like normal. I don't nt need an E5 to...

All they have been touting as far as advertised integrations is: 1. Baro sync -- only have to set the baro pressure on the Aspen and it will sync to the TruTrak...no more setting it in both places 2. Heading bug follow -- This allows the TruTrak to follow a magnetic heading, that is dialed in...

This is what is frustrating. Too many different stories. When I talked to TruTrak a couple weeks ago, they had everything they needed and said the firmware was at the faa waiting in approval. When I talked to Mr. Smith at Aspen, he said the same thing.... TruTrak has everything they needed...

Well right now we are still debating it. This is the current situation at the shop: We are still very much in progress on it. I am having a crap ton of work done. Right now, since TruTrak doesn't have the firmware ready, I am leaving my TT wired up to the IFD540 for now....probably. My...

AS of right now, the firmware for the TruTrak to unlock the Aspen integration is not available. Its at the FAA waiting on approvals. So if you get one installed now with an E5, its not going to work out of the box....until that firmware gets approved. This has been known since they announced...

I am using this: https://amzn.to/2V6e3sE I have it suctioned on my back, side glass. It works really great. I use one of those 10 foot USB cables from amazon to plug it in. Something like this: https://amzn.to/2Ins2E8

No, that isn't correct at all. Aspen is advertising the full integration with TruTrak, which is indeed there. Like we have discussed in the past, TruTrak has to release a firmware update (that includes sending the TruTrak unit back in to them) that enables the update IN THE TRUTRAK. This has...

Yeah, I was REALLY hoping TruTrak would have had the firmware ready for upgraded while I was in the shop, so that my tech could send the unit in for upgrade while he had the panel apart. So, what it looks like we are going to do is leave the TruTrak wired to the IFD for now, but hes going to...

I'm pulling the entire vacuum system on my airplane. We are expecting to loose about 6 lbs or so. Once I get it all done I plan on having the airplane weighed on some scales because there have been a number of changes since the w&b has been verified. I want to be absolutely sure of the numbers...

Hey Flybuddy. Hate to change the subject, but how did you guys wire the Aspen <-> Trutrak? <-> IFD? Did you connect the TruTrak directly to the Aspen so it can drive it via GPSS? Do you have any sort of reversion switch that you can switch the TruTrak back to getting GPSS from the IFD in the...

For the Pro I believe you need a standby attitude source. So if you have another electric powered standby then you can remove the vacuum system on the Pro installs. I'll be upgrading my E5 to a Pro this time next year, so I am hoping that the Aerovonics unit is considered as a standby at that...

6 hours shop time? Someone is screwing you over on that. $600 for the upgrade?? Dunno who's charging that but your shop maybe pulling one over on you. Aspen only charges an additional $500 for the upgrade if you prefer not to wait the 10 days in their factory for the upgrade, that $500 buys...

Until you have to replace a cylinder. There are no aftermarket cyls available and if you have to replace one, you're gonna be out a whole bunch of money. I love the 390 but it's a decent bit of extra weight out on the nose of an already nose-heavy airplane and there's no options for cyl repair.

I absolutely love my 177 RG Cardinal. There is no other airplane I would rather have. The RG is quite a bit faster than the fixed gear models, and has a max gross of 2800. I have 978 lbs useful in mine, and I can carry 60 gallons of fuel. She flies fast and efficient. Heres a photo of my...

Looks good FlyBuddy! Did you remove your vacuum system too?

I am having an E5 installed as we speak. Hoping to have it done in a week or so. We've not had any issues with my antenna, that was anther person on the forums. I have heard that that unit was the only one Aspen had an issue with thus far.

My TruTrak Vizion will fly an approach to as low as you are comfortable to let it. :-) . It will fly whatever my IFD540 is telling it to.
