I would like to thank Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore ( http://www.buildersbooks.com ), Paul Besing of Aeroware Enterprises ( http://www.kitlog.com ), Jon Croke of Homebuilt HELP ( http://www.homebuilthelp.com ) and Bob Nuckolls of AeroElectric ( http://www.aeroelectric.com ) for their extremely generous support during this year's Fund Raiser through the contribution of merchandise. These are great guys that support the aviation industry and I encourage each and every Lister to have a look at their products. Thank you Andy, Paul, Jon and Bob!!

And finally, below you will find a web link to the 2006 List of Contributors current

Len,
I sure wish I did have some inside info but Garmin is very tight with
the pricing. I do know a guy who's son works there and tried to get
some info that way but no joy. :(
From what I have been reading, Garmin holds all of their dealers to a
"Advertised Suggested Retail Price" but if you call the various dealers,
they will cut that price. About the lowest I have heard is around
$2,400 but I don't know if that is true or forum BS.
Either way, in January I am going to start calling around to see what
I can work up.
If some of are SERIOUS about buying a 496 let me know and I'll see if
I can work a group buy. Who knows, we might get lucky.
To make this clear, all I want to know is if you are SERIOUS about
buying a 496. When I go the vendors (and possibly Garmin) I want hard
orders, not "maybe orders". I will NOT take any action until after the
first of the year.
As for paying for the thing, I will try to work it where each of you
gives the supplier a credit card number so I don't have to deal with
payment. However, to get the best price, they may only wish to deal
with one person, if that is the case, I will let you know and we can
take it from there.
Bill

David,
I am a simple VFR type (My last plane, 1941 BC-12/65, did not even
have
an electrical system.) and when I talk to RV builder/owners who have
equipped their planes with IFR panels I am always surprised to find
that
they rarely use it. To the point where many of them have told me
that
next time they will leave it VFR only.
Maybe some of the others on the list can add there $.02 worth.
Having said that, I am reserving the right to upgrade my panel in
the
future, if I ever get the IFR bug.
As for the Garmin 496, I installed an AirGizmo
(http://www.airgizmos.com/) in my panel with the angle adapter so it
will be slanted towards me. Great device and it has let me build up
my
panel without actually owning a GPS. In January I hope the price
comes
down a notch so I can purchase a 496. Pictures are at the bottom of
this page: http://www.repucci.com/bill/instruments.html

Bill & Radomir,
I've been spending an inordinate amount of time looking.! I am
planning
the back-up instruments pretty much as outlined by Radomir, but
having
trouble determining whether to put in an IFR gps in. I flew a lot of
IFR
in the Baron and Bonanza with and without an IFR approved gps.(Used
a
Garmin Pilot III). It's no problem enroute. I had dual glideslopes,
RMI,
NDB, etc. I only shot 4-6 actual gps approaches(they are easy), rest
ILS. Seems as if a 496 is great value.
I am basically cheap and also trying to determine how much IFR will
actually be flown in the RV. Totally different profile than my
earlier
aircraft. Wonder how many of the "older" military and airline flyers
equip their planes?
Thanks for the response. I hope to see your projects soon.
David

Ben,
I hope to get a deal on the 496 and bring it down close to the list
price of the 396 and I look at buying these things like buying a new PC.
I purchase the biggest unit I can for the money and hope it isn't
outdated until it dies.
You are right, for a VFR pilot like myself, I'm not sure the 496 offers
that much over the 396.
Bill
