I certainly agree with keeping things on the list. The delete button is easy to use, if needed! Briefly, I have found the Dynon to be a far superior ADI than the G3. It is smoother and faster to respond. My G3 needs resetting on startup sometimes but not the Dynon. I like the numeric heading readout on the G3 ADI as well as the ribbon and wish the Dynon had that; otherwise, Dynon ADI all the way. I think the G3 ADI is good as a backup for IFR and primary VFR but would not recommend it as primary IFR. The EHSI is really neat on the G3 and has a unique feature, a virtual VOR. It allows the unit to use its own GPS to mimic a VOR. The unit will work great with the SL30, including the VOR indications. The external VOR inputs have been a real problem interfacing with other units for the G3. For example it will not accept my Garmin 430 outputs. (Should be fixed with next software upgrade.) Unfortunately you will not be able to transfer any flightplan data from the GX30 to the G3 to show up on the moving map. You would also need to install a separate switch to select which input to the CDI(HSI)if you want GPS (GX60) or VOR (SL30) indications. (Definitely want an annunciator light so you don't think it's localizer and be GPS.) Customer support for both has been excellent, but BMA had more problems than expected at release. There are slowly working through them, though. I'll stop there.

The guy at Ashboro did me a great and reasonable job on my transponder check and he is close to you. Air Associates, Jerry Jeffers I think is his name. There is quite a few others around, RUQ, Carolina Avionics, Spitfire Aviation in Concord, Lou Vasquez at Wadesboro, and the guys at Twin Lakes and the guys at Monroe.
