OK folks, I've just about exhausted my patience with the MGL iEFIS that came with my plane. Every day its something else and every bit of it requires a very steep learning curve. Have you ever tried to run Linux after coming from Mac OS, well, that's what it feels like to try and learn the MGL system. Its not that its inherently bad, its just a foreign language, so to speak.
If I were to scrap the MGL unit, what could I salvage from my current setup? I know that I'd need the screen (GDU460), the new LRU kit (magnetometer, oat, AHRS), and the GEA24 (engine indication box). Would my existing ammeter shunt/manifold pressure/egt/cht/fuel pressure/oil pressure/oil temp/fuel flow instruments work with "team G"?
I currently have a 430W, G5, GAD29, so that part is covered. I also have a Sandia STX165R remote mode C linked to a echoUAT ADS-B in/out. Will any of that work with the G3X? The STX165R is remote, so it needs to be controlled by the EFIS.
I also have a SL40 and a PS engineering intercom which I'm assuming would all be able to remain.
I'd also have to replace the two autopilot servos but was thinking that I could just run those from the screen and not have to add the external control unit.
