NO other gauages of any kind, not even a compass. All told I'm pleased with the computer and MGL response to my questions and issues. I'm sure I'm a p ain in the butt!. As to flying with a computer screen I am now totally sold on it and I really didn't expect that I would be. I have another airplane with steam gauges and it's a choir to fly with less info and response. I'm not a sales guy for MGL, but I do respect the fellows that make, sell and s ervice them. I have a good buddy with GRT screens and he's always got a pro blem with something??? Course it could be him as opposed to the machine. My advise is to look past the pretty display on the screen and investigate th e wires that come with the sensors and probes, the connectors and the sub s ystems. If it looks like crap then figure you'll be flying crap! You'll lea rn more about the product by seeing how to set it up and make it work then just how bright the color is on the tube.

I have flown in one plane with their black/white screen and the MGL adio (I loved the radio, clearest I have ever heard) and the display worked s advertised. am aware of the Dynon products but the MGL has some features Dynon does ot and I really like those. However, if there are show stoppers I am not ware of I would enjoy hearing from anyone who might offer any opinion. hank you, teve _______________________________ Message 2 _______________________________ ______ ime: 05:17:23 PM PST US ubject: Zenith-List: Re: MGL rom: "Wingrider" teve I suggest you go over to the MGL forum at http://www.mglavionicsusers. org/forum/index.php o get more information. The forum is independent of MGL but the company own er oes contribute. The VAF forum is another good source for EFIS information. I have the Enigma so I can't comment on the Voyager vs the competition but I can ell you I have never read where the Voyager or other models are less bright han the competition. I wish I had the Voyager or the new iEFIS just being eleased ith a touch screen, maybe the next panel. -------- ich Whittington ullahoma, TN enith 601HDS hase 1 Flight Testing ead this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=360947#360947 -======================== - -= -- Please Support Your Lists This Month -- -= (And Get Some AWESOME FREE Gifts!) - -= November is the Annual List Fund Raiser.
