    Avionics- What systems would YOU do?

    Aspen E5 (Or ProMax if you can swing the price), paired with a TruTrak. Hard to beat the functionality, and upgradability in that combo for the price.

    Anyone have an Aspen E5 Installed?

    Hopefully mine will be in a week or so. She's been in the shop for several weeks now as I had a huge list of stuff for my avionics guy to tackle. We're still trying to decide what to do with a old strike finder thats giving us fits. Lol But he's hoping to get the E5 wired to power and he's...

    Anyone have an Aspen E5 Installed?

    Sure, a like-for-like replacement will be free. Meaning my non-gps RSM would get traded for another non-gps RSM. However, the GPS version of the RSM is not standard for the E5 and therefore would cost a delta in price difference.

    Anyone have an Aspen E5 Installed?

    My Cardinal is getting it's E5 installed now. I had a bunch of other work done while she's in there, but my Avionics guy will be starting the E5 portion of the work next week. I've told him he might have issues with the RSM as has been discussed here in this thread. I did not get the GPS RSM...

    Want To Buy Insight Srike Finder Antenna

    I am looking for a working, antenna for an Insight Strikefinder. I am in the process of troubleshooting my unit, and I *think* the antenna is the bad part. So, if you have one lying around, or one you want to get rid of, let me know! I'll buy it from you for a decent price. Reach me here on...

    Has anyone insured a complex aircraft as a student pilot?

    Joe Ruck found my policy from "HARCO NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY" . Was right around 2400 for my policy. He had to do a lot of digging, but he found one that no one was able to beat, and so far they have been good to work with.

    Has anyone insured a complex aircraft as a student pilot?

    I bought my policy in May of last year 2018. I had zero complex (retract), and zero time in model (177RG). My hull value was 85,000 and it's a million dollar policy. I also was a student with 100-ish hours, with 35 hours in the last 6 months. Did you speak with Joe Ruck at Air-Pros?

    Pay to fix an Insight Strikefinder and upgrade it?

    Yeah I'm open to suggestions. I have adsb in on my IFD540 and my tablet. Cockpit radar is probably a bit tooooo much scope creep... Lol. What would be good to replace it with

    Pay to fix an Insight Strikefinder and upgrade it?

    Hey all, I have my Cardinal in the shop getting an Aspen E5 installed and some other avionics work being done. I have an Insight Strikefinder that has been giving me an XO/X1 and Z error code, for a long time, and I am finally going to have it diagnosed and either replaced or trashed. Talking...

    Has anyone insured a complex aircraft as a student pilot?

    I was a student when I bought my 1973 Cardinal RG. I used Joe Ruck at AIR Pros insurance and he was the only one that could find insurance for me. My hull value is $85k and I paid $2300 for my insurance. AVEMCO wouldn't insure me, AOPA could not find a quote for less than $4000, and Falcon...

    Aspen E5 arrived! Unboxing photos and info

    Heck yeah man! Lets hope that TruTrak gets the firmware update available before our planes are finished up. I can tell you that you're gonna love the setup. I have a TruTrak and an IFD540 in mine, and both are fantastic bits of equipment. If you have an iPad, download Avidynes free IFD...

    Dropped my airplane off to have the E5 installed. Hopefully they'll be done in a few weeks since I am getting a bunch of other panel work done at the same time.

    Aspen E5 arrived! Unboxing photos and info

    I talked to TruTrak last week. They were waiting on the E5 to get finalized, so they could finish up their firmware to support it. They had the firmware completed, and all the supporting documentation sent in to the FAA for approvals BEFORE the stupid shutdown occurred. When I talked to them...

    Aspen E5 arrived! Unboxing photos and info

    Installation hasn't happened yet. I am booked to get the airplane in the shop hopefully next week sometime, if weather permits. I still don't think TruTrak will have their autopilot firmware released by that time unfortunately, so it'll probably have to go back in the shop to have the TruTrak...

    My Aspen E5 has FINALLY arrived! I spoke to my shop, and hopefully we'll get in the shop by the end of February to do the install. I am REALLY looking forward to the TruTrak integration as soon as TruTrak gets their firmware released. Here's some photos I snapped of the unit...

    I have just received my Aspen E5, planes about to go in the shop in a couple weeks for the install. I also have a TruTrak. When I talked to Aspen, they have all the bits ready to go on their end for the TruTrak integration. They support the ability to for the TruTrak to do heading bug...

    Trio vs TruTrak

    I just got a text from my avionics guy.... it was a photo of my E5's box :-) Now to get it scheduled in the shop for the install.... And here's to hoping that TruTrak will be able to get their software update shipped/available by the time my airplane is getting the E5 installed.
