    Dynon For the Win!

    Too bad about the autopilot, I've been eyeballing the DynonCertified for a while now. It seems they're really dragging their feet on the Autopilot side.

    Abandoning Garmin Pilot for Avare

    Have to fly up to KADS for a couple hours thursday and don't want to be hit with crazy fees from the 2 FBOs there. I've read both are pretty expensive. Any good places to park for a couple of hours? Somebody suggested over by the museum off Taxiway U.

    Best tablet for Garmin Pilot

    Incorrect, you are not required to have the latest version of Android to update to the latest GP.

    Roll output from Garmin G5 to Century autopilot

    G5 is just the indicator, you'd need the GAD29B to take the CAN bus signal from the G5 and the GPS navigator (ARINC429) and interface it to the autopilot. GAD29B does support analog and digital (roll) commands. Sent from my SM-T397U using Tapatalk
