I'm hesitant to call it a problem yet...
I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of my Sport EX and I do think it's a good product. Lots of capability in a small package at a good price. And the little problem I did have was met with EXCELLENT service. No complaints...
That all being said, I've been having some attitude indication problems during aerobatics. The device is supposedly good for it, I fly well within G limits and Roll Rate limits of the gyros. But I have been in touch with GRT and this "anomaly" is being looked into already. I've recorded this video and sent it to GRT along with a log file so they can chase it down and figure out why my attitude indications aren't behaving like they should. And to be clear, I don't recall this happening in the first 6 months of ownership. So it may be more hardware than software, we will see.
I'm just posting this here for input to see if anyone else have ever had these issues with a GRT EFIS. If not for input, I hope you enjoy a decent, upside down, spring day in Michigan.
Be sure to watch in 1080P (if you can) so you can read things on the EFIS like heading, Flight Path Indicator, Pitch ladder, and the comparison Garmin G5 next to the EFIS.
