Blue Mountain does have a good product, but=85 I have a G3 Lite. They
announced the product but did not deliver any for 1 year. It had
numerous
bugs that had to be worked out in the field. The company did stick with
me
in working them out but I felt like one of their employees as we tested
idea
after idea. (Getting G3 to communicate with my Garmin 430=97which they
had
already promised would work.) Their GPS does not allow a flight plan
with
multiple waypoints and I still don=92t trust the AI IFR (It will
occasionally
tumble. Many others still report this same problem.). My Dynon on the
other
hand has been stable as a rock=97and a much faster roll rate. Note that
the G2
could not be upgraded to a G3 and the no G3 to G4, either. Check out
their
message board. (http://www.bluemountainavionics.com/talk/) It is
informative. Right now if had it to do over again, I=92d go with the
Grand
Rapids technologies, or maybe the new Advanced Flight Systems unit.
(Wouldn=92t trade in my Dynon, though.)

On Sunday, it looks like my vacuum pump failed, AND I might benefit from
having my RV-4 being IFR capable. Thus, I am considering upgrading to
an
EFIS and Autopilot. I am fishing for suggestions on this. Having
talked to
several of you, I am swinging towards Blue Mountain Avionics. Including
the
AP and remote compass, the cost is about the same as the Dynon and it
seems
to be somewhat better in many aspects (HITS, terrain, one less
instrument,
etc.) However, I thought I would throw this question out to the group.
Any suggestions please?

Paul,
I am planning to use the GRT Horizon Series with a TruTrak autopilot in the
RV I am building now.
You can get some actual experience feedback from Ron Schreck on it as he has
a dual display model in his RV8. They make a "Sport" Model that is less IFR
oriented than their "Horizon" Series but the both "look" the same.
I would say "standby" until AFTER Oshkosh as I am sure there will be reports
on the "latest".

Another thought on an EFIS;
I never really considered what it would take to update the database or
firmware. My Garmin uses a memory card and it is very easy. The BMA
requires
a laptop at the airplane and proficiency with an FTP program. You also
have
to hook up a USB keyboard separately, all from the back of the unit! The
Dynon uses a serial port/plug to the laptop at the plane as well, but
their
support program does all the transferring.
Just a thought=85

Using one of those USB memory sticks.. you can run a little extension cable
for the USB to the panel to make it a bit easier.

Or just build a tip-up and access it from behind.
Bill
PS. My Dynon D100 EFIS arrived last week. VERY cool. I can only
imagine what the HITS EFIS's are like to fly behind but since my -9 will
be VFR only, I don't see the need.
