Touchdown! Greaser!
I've had an iPad for 3 years, but just started flying with it frequently this past year. I've come to conclude that it's just too big for a 172 or the Cutlass that I currently fly.
So I've come to conclude that I could use an iPad mini in a yoke mount, and my bride was going to get me this for Christmas.
I've also been thinking about a Stratus 2 as well, primarily to have traffic information, as well as the Wx. However, I've been a little less enamored with it after learning traffic is limited without having onboard ADS-B. My wife wants to get this for me as well. However, I don't want her to spend more than $1AMU for these two things.
So my question is do you think a Stratus is really worth it? I'm not instrument current or proficient, but plan on getting an IPC in December, and then making more instrument flights. But for the most part I'm a fair Wx flyer, and worry more about traffic than Wx.
Also, since the Stratus 2 has been out for almost 2 years, do you think a Stratus 3 may be in the near future with better functionality, or are we really at the technology limits for traffic and Wx until more of the fleet gets ADS-B in the cockpit?
