This time with the full blown 930 instead of 900, but the SAM trumps the lot for going all of the way. I did go back and read the AC article more carefully, and it does indeed have a definite bias, but I believe based on the cost/benefit to those who might not have the full set of Garmin radio gear to run a G500. The autopilot deal is not that it won't communicate, but that it can not be in full command of the servos without retaining the autopilot's gyro reference system instead of direct output from the G500 AHRS. The 1000 won't do that either (but IIRC WILL with Century). Also, I think the G500 needs a card to send to STec autopilot??? -------- AA1 and AA5B former (future?) owner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=411552#411552 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message teamgrumman-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/TeamGrumman-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/teamgrumman-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/teamgrumman-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.
