Also, this is per unit. If you initially order the unit with synthetic vision then it's a $1,200.00 upgrade. Again, per unit. Take a look at the GRT price page: http://www.grtavionics.com/product.aspx?productno=1&featureno=22. We'll be flying our newest LS-1 sometime this week and it has a Sport SX with synthetic vision. We'll do a little write up and get it into the April or May newsletter. Hope this helps!

I think I read it was a $1200 upgrade. Is this true? Has anyone upgraded theirs yet? If so, any comments pro or con would be appreciated Thanks Bear N82PB ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:33:47 AM PST US From: "Malcolm Ferguson" Subject: Lightning-List: Gross weights Hi Buz, Just under 500 hrs on mine. Have put a Sensenich prop(carbon adjust) on May last year. Long story chasing engine vibrations, but turned out to be the electric actuator on the Rospeller C/S. Have had a fair amount of trouble getting the pitch right as the setting is extremely sensitive 0.5 degrees goes from being a climb prop to a cruise prop, but have it right now, I think??? I really miss the C/S but love the simplicity of the Sensenich. Prop is like the wood Sensenich with turned forward tips. Looks weird. Have been fiddling with mixture adjustment on my Rotax-runs very rich the higher I go. Most recent trip to pick up a doz bottles wine saw just on 14 litre/hr at 119-120 kts at av 8000'. Would normally be 18-19L. Works on the same principle as the Haqman?? and is best above 7000' on part throttle. No Oshkosk for a few years. By then might have a Lightning if the improvements keep coming :) Dennis would still have to be the Aus agent.
