Comments on E500? Anyone flown it?
Yep, one flight, one hour...VFR only
The plane itself flies very nice, stick forces are heavier then I expected but "nice" heavy.
The avionics were ( at least then, last march) inferior to Garmin 1000
Literally half the functions were not certified back then.
Displays have a lesser resolution then G1000 so I thought they were a little fuzzy even. Speed and altitude bugs are hollow vs. solid so difficult to pick out.
For the latest and greatest and not so great on Eclipse I've been reading the following blog for years now:
