Hello all
I've recently bought a share in a lovely TB20.
The current COM1 stack is a Bendix-King 197 which has an intermittent fault.
The cost new fitted is CIRCA £2000+ VAT which seems an awful lot for a basic unit. The aircraft has an old Garmin 250XL as COM2/GPS which is out of date.
The majority of the share holders (4 out of 5 at present) are interested in replacing some of the older equipment as a bundle and the GTN750 has been suggested.
We presently have a mode S transponder but understand there are various "bolt on" parts to the GTN which could incorporate that.
Has anyone any experience with the system - I have flown G1000's for some time and quite comfortable with them so the concept looks fine on paper. Moreso (Peter!) - has anyone on here had one installed in their TB20 and if so - how much juggling was required?
Page 8 in the Pilot magazine shows a TB cockpit with full glass layout and I'm seriously drooling at present
Thoughts on a postcard please!
