We ended up going to the scheduled service and waited while he calibrated my ancient NARCO VORs. We were there for about 4 hours.
Also he is doing a GTX345 install for a club plane I also fly, and the estimates beat everyone else around.
On the sandel 3308, did you compare total costs with something like an Aspen?
I'm looking at a 430w or gtn 650 but am faced with the same dilemma, 1500-2000 for a nav head, could be put into a sandel, or other pfd/mfd setup...
It was a local flying club plane. Reminded me that a student pilot did nearly the same thing at the same airport when I 1st started flying:
PA28 vs Semi 1997
She wasn't nearly as lucky.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE FRIENDS!
Just a note to say I built a Stratux a while back and have flown with it side-by-side another iPad on a Stratus 1 and Stratus 2. The traffic and weather is nearly identical.
If you are a tinkerer, you can put this together rather easily with the instructions out there. Even the kickstarter...
