It is the MGL Explorer we have decided to fit on the new GT-VX2 ‘Explorer’ gyro, it seemed at good fit. I did look at the Extreme but liked the idea of the bigger screen.
It has been quite a journey, from dreams to reality, then obliged to sell the first Hornet to finance more education. Then finally the house sale, release of some equity, but, more problems with both sons that required financial intervention. Then at last the ability to try and get back into getting a gyro that might actually use an EFIS.
I am certainly looking forward to using an EFIS that funnily seems way more sophisticated than the old steam driven cockpit displays in the BAC 111’s or 727’s I flew, and, even the later Exec jets.
The idea of peeping over the horizon on a single is very appealing to me rather than a quick survey of the surrounding countryside.
I would also have to say though, that a flapping map on the knee, basic compass and dead reckoning, on a very wind, on a Bensen in rather cooler temps than was entirely comfortable, was rather a masochistic pleasure.
Well, still only dreams, but a bit closer to reality now.
