As far as I know, the price on the 430W hasn't been announced yet. I doubt it will be cheaper to buy the 430 now and upgrade. I think Stephen's right. They were offering a deal on the upgrades early on, but I think they've since hiked up the price a bit. I'm committed to the 430 now with the tray installed and wired.Jamie said:I've heard that buying the 430 now then sending it in for the WAAS upgrade is going to be cheaper than waiting for the WAAS version to become available. Have you heard any of this?

Yes, Joe. Multiple choices for "Attitude" between the Dynon and the Trutrak. Lots of back-up too. I just don't want to be put in a situation again where I lose all trust and confidence in my flight instrumentation!attackpilot said:You got a lotta attitude.
Get it?
Looks great, can't wait until I am working on my panel.

Nick - The panel was redone about the time the Garmin 396 was introduced so I removed the XM receiver and CD player and bought the Garmin 396. It's plumbed in to the audio panel. I can live without CD since I have XM. As for the removal of the BMA E/1. Ask around!Nick Leonard said:Bob,
It looks like you not only took out the Blue Mountain (why?) but there was also some sort of radio/CD player that is not in the new panel. Is that temporary or was there a problem with that as well? Can you give us a review of each?
Thanks,

Unless I miss my guess, those are the two fuel pumps for an Eggenfellner Subaru installation. The heater core at the front gives it away.cbnank said:I notice the stuff on the center floor. Are these fuel filters? Can you explain your fuel setup and show a more detailed picture?
Thanks Jekyll, I just put that in there 'cause it was in epanelbuilder. I will probably go with a standard car radio/CD/XM radio such as Alpine. Looking at Dynon right now, but open to other displays.Jekyll said:Ron:
A humble suggestion: Do away with the PAV thingy and save yourself a grunch of cash. Use an MP3 player instead. No bundle of CD's to lug around, bounce around during rolls, melt in the greenhouse or have stolen. You can have your complete music collection on 1 small player. You can wire a remote plug into the back of the PMA-8000B or use the front face plug. At the speeds these things fly, you will be in and out of AM and FM ranges quite freguently.
Go satelite radio or MP3.
$200 can get you a multi Gb flash memory player.
Are those Dynon or GRT displays? If GRT, you can wire your trims into an aux channel and remove the trim indicator from your panel.
