I replaced the GNS430 and King transponder in my Cherokee about 18 months ago and couldn’t be happier. I’m fully ADS-B equipped (added the Avidyne Mode-S transponder) and the and all at a price much less than the Garmin stuff. I have a G5 unit that replaced my failed attitude indicator and it’s great. Only problem is that I want a second G5 to replace my heading indicator, but they don’t play as well with the IFD. I’m considering the new, cheaper Aspen but not sure yet. If you have any questions about the IFD, let me know and I’ll be happy to help out!
