Planning cockpit for new LSA build. Looked at the options and it comes down to Garmin G3X and Dynon Skyview for me though I appreciate many others' capabilities.
The G3X is in pole position but, looking at the installation manual, the magnetometer seems to be ultra sensitive which, whilst undoubtedly great for performance, dictates benign position which is likely to be difficult to achieve in an LSA and I wouldn't want to have to cut inspection plates etc to be able to get at it for maintenance. In contrast, the Dynon seems far less intolerant.
Anybody experience of these, especially the Garmin?
Thanks
