You should definitely tell them you saw the video! :)

Interesting! I’ll have to try that. Thought the g3x only had vcalc

@@BuildFlyGo In reading the G3X manual further it looks like the VNAV functionality is not available if you have the flight plan source set to external. I also learned something new. You can use VNAV to any waypoint in the flight plan, not just the final one.

Hi William, I have not tried it but it might work. Should be easy to mock up or add a wedge spacer after the fact to try out.

@brad, can you help?

I've been thinking about this the last few days. We are considering a 3-screen setup with a 650 or 750 and there is space for a g5 on either side. I think we will stick to a single G5 though as chances of a pilot incapacitation + all 3 G3x screens going out in IMC is tiny. I'll post some pics of what we are thinking on insta/fb.

@@BuildFlyGo That's what I was thinking here too -- majority of the time would be pilot flying in airplane related emergencies. Will look for those pics!

@@nichenke just posted one idea we looked at this past week. There's definitely room on the other side for another G5 but I don't think we'll go with two.

The 650 is a nav com gps. 225 would add a second com. No transponder in the 650.

No TOD on the g3x unfortunately, but send them a message and let them know that you want that feature.

I’ll put that on the list for next time I’m around that setup.

I was thinking the same thing or even two vertical 7” g3xs and a third for the passenger if you want and stick with the 650. 750 is nice but big bucks. I love the symmetrical look of BuildFlyGos plane however. Pricing out my hopefully future rv9a start to finish after Osh2021 so I know what I’m getting into and avionics is about step 20136. Nice ifr avionics probably costs more than the complete quick build kit. Ouch.

@@bryanpearson911 I would still stick with the 1/3 1/3 1/3 plan (Airframe, Engine/prop, Avionics). And then decide mission and equip for what you realistically think is going to be it. I am building a 14, and will cross that bridge shortly and with the inflation that is going on now especially over at Lycoming (insanity) I am rethinking the panel and may equip more basic with room for expansion and see how I really fly it. I fly a certified IFR aircraft right now, and fly a lot less "real ifr" than I would have thought when I originally did the panel over.

Bom, no nosso RV-10 decidimos 2x g3x + 750. Nao tem um 3x por aqui pra ver mas acho que o 750 vale a tela maior.

That’s a good question. It comes from the airlines and larger aircraft. I bet they have done the workflow analysis but I have not seen it.

It's a carry over from airliners which had their FMS system down low. Because we fly small planes, i put my autopilot controller beneath my GTN750 so when i am adjusting the autopilot, my hand does not block the display of the 750.

Yup, it reduces workload but does not abdicate the pilot from paying attention. I use it on most flights as a way to optimize my descent to a specific point. Pattern altitude 3 miles from airport for example.

I’ve never actually used it for a climb. I generally use IAS mode for climbing at my usual cruise-climb speed, 120kts.

I have a video on this. Search for the one covering the worksheet.

The new 2” Garmin gps are quite nice and much less expensive. I’ve seen a few around here and folks like them.
