Craig,



FWIW, installed one 6 months ago in two friends' plane.

The airplane has flown 85 hours since, they say they are pleased with it.

Only flew twice behind it, the last time 30 minutes this morning.



But nevertheless the impression is good. Great service from the local 

dealer.

A breeze to install, really sunlight readable, lots of funtions and easy 

to setup.

Easy to use on cruise or takeoff/landing.



Will report when I'll know more about the beast.



Best regards,

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  Craig,

 I am looking at the installation in an Apollo Fox, and so far these are the  comments:

  

 The fittings are very delicate, and easily broken.

 It is very light in weight and high on features but flimsey.

     Support wires and tubes coming off the unit.

 Engine readouts seem accurate, but the company installing it did no  calibration to speak of.

  

 Support is distant.  Should it break down, you are looking at a long  term grounding.

  

 In-flight:

 I've flown with it and it appears to be quite readable, but very  busy.  I find I have to look at the unit and focus to get the information  that used to take only a glance.

 Like any electronic component, learn the buttons.

Bud and all,



Are you aware that the display is fully configurable, and you can have 

it exactly the way you wish ?

It takes a downloadable configuration tool and a PC to change the display.



Concerning the connections, yes they look like those in my washing 

machine, but it is easy to secure them properly with some varnish on the 

screws and a pair of Ty-Wraps.



Best regards,
