Trio vs TruTrak

Ouch! What dollars for the GFC 600 Tom?

Cap

I think the GFC600 is in the STEC3100 pricing category with a limited number of aircraft approved for the STC, mostly high end singles and twins.

Only $19 AMUs, but no G5 required....practically giving them away ;-)

The servos are more robust, weather proof....important for those who fly hard IFR and in the flight levels. It’s just a higher quality system, probably overblown for a 172.

Latest is baro sync, heading (whatever you set on the Aspen), alt bug and VS bug. And a promise of more in the future..

Significant diff , G5 and Aspen... The TT<> Aspen interface is a joint effort between TT and Aspen, so both companies are supporting the project.

With the G5 , TT is on its own, Garmin is not helping, and there is a rumour that Garmin may change the coms protocol (it's theirs anyway) in the futile, so the interface may be in difficulty..

Not sure why one would want to deal with the LCD display of the G5 when the others have TFT displays that can be seen in direct sunlight and with polarized glasses... but..

They shortened the cable on the RSM.. now working fine... It was looooog.. (35') Not sure why but...

To follow Jesse, I am still hearing Osk time frame for the software...
