Any talk of adding the AOA variable to the serial text output? I would love to have my remote AOA display back in action!
Yes, in fact I just implemented that last week.

I have the old 73 ADAHRS/Eng monitoring unit. Is I want to take advantage of the AOA then I need to ditch my Dynon pitot and replace it with the Garmin one, as well as add the new ADAHRS unit?
Is that the only capability I would gain?
Just to confirm what I think you wrote in an earlier post, your servos should be compatible the TruTrak pitch and roll servo brackets I've already installed?
Any more information on what the GAD 29
IFR Navigation Adapter is going to do exactly?
I will (by July) already have a GNS650 and G3X installed. What will the GAD 29 do (or the G3X) with it installed that can't be done without it?
[...] it looks like I could order 2 Garmin servos and the GMC305 control head to get a complete 2 axis autopilot sytem controllable through the G3X and/or GMC305.
Is my thinking correct?
This all sounds great!!
Now where is the bigger screens???

I just installed the TruTrak servo mounts and ran the wiring for GX auto pilot servos, do I need to change anything out for this nice new cheaper (price wise) setup?
Thanks Mike
Reference the GMC 305, is there any thought of making a vertical mounting module?
It will probably simplified the installation in an RV-4.
What is the inflight restart (alignment?) capability of the GSU25 ADAHARS unit? [...] If needed, can I de-power one half of my system and then bring it back up (align?) later if needed?
Will the Gretx pitot mount work with the GAP 26?
1: Is the GAP 26 compatible with the Gretz pitot mount with predrilled holes?
2: How many amps does the heated (un-regulated) version draw?
1. Yes (see above).
2. At a temperature of -40C, the GAP 26 will draw approximately 12A. As it heats up it draws somewhat less. The regulated version will draw less current yet, depending on ambient temperature.

I have a digiflight II with all the letters. If I installed the G3X with the -305 AP control head, would it would drive my A/P and have Alt preselect/capture, and FLC etc, and still retain the redundancy of the A/P AHRS if the G3X died?
Hi Doug,
You can do this but you would need to need to get in touch with Trutrak to replace/upgrade your Trutrak Digiflight II head unit for a GX Pilot unit instead. The servos would stay the same.

Steve, I'm contemplating a panel upgrade with the G3X system on my RV-6. I currently have an S-Tec 30 autopilot. I intend to remove it in favor of your autopilot option but was just curious if you have any idea whether the S-Tec brackets would work with the new Garmin servos. I'm assuming all new brackets, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks, and kudos on the new upgrades and lower prices.
are there any AP functions that are not supported with the TruTrak or Trio autopilot and the GMC 305? For example the level button.
Is there or will there be support for a TOGA input?
From your first post "When the autopilot is off, the servo provides speed scheduling for the manual trim commands."
I think I hope I'm guessing I know what this means. Please splain-it
is there an option of having your ap without the G3X. I have a dynon d180 and a garmin 696 and a full panel upgrade is out of the question. But I do want an autopilot in my plane.
now, to put in another thought. lets say I go for a G3X and at this time just put it in place of my 696, which is on a ball mount off the right side of my panel, is this a plausable solution or is there just to many wires runing off the G3X and or also the G3X has to be panel mounted. My thought is someday the panel upgrade might be in the works, just not right now.

Hi I all ready have the g3x system with GX-pilot TT, if i want the new ap control panel how much wire conections will be required?
