I bought almost exactly what you describe as the GRT system (2 displays, 1 air data computer, xm wx, IO-540 engine instruments including fuel flow) for $11.1K minus a 5% discount, or $10.6K - a lot less than you quoted, and comparable with the G3X. Possible differences: I got the standard size, not larger size, displays (+$1.2K for two). I also got an HX and a HS, e.g., synthetic vision on only one display. I couldn't reason the extra $2K for two HX's when the second display is used for engine instruments most of the time. Something you failed to mention: GRT is the only system that will continue to give you engine information if the EFIS fails. I'm sure you'll be happy with your choice. Just wanted to point out the cost differences are closer than you thought. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=355991#355991 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:43:01 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Panel Choice From: "nukeflyboy" Bob, That's good info. You are correct about the engine monitor being independent from the EFIS which is not the case with the others. As far as cost goes the suppliers keep adjusting their prices so you need to use current data. Mine is already obsolete and it is only 2 months old. There is also a seemingly infinite number of combinations and this adds to the headache. The value of these discussions is to get the relevant data out in the open so the next guy is better prepared to ask the right questions. -------- Dave Moore RV-6 flying RV-10 QB - Working G3X panel Rest almost done Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=356007#356007 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:54:13 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Panel Choice From: "Strasnuts" With G3X you can have two EFIS screens fail and still get engine info. The GSU would have to fail or three screens. -------- 40936 RV-10 SB N801VR Flying Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=356008#356008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
