Lately I've been flying aircraft with glass panels and must admit I like the new technology.
I've been looking for a light weight mini-glass panel for my Genesis G1sa.
Dave Bacon, John and the forum recommend MGL's XTreme.
I am not recommending anyone buy it until after I flight test it, however I have some good news if anyone wished to buy one...
while doing my research with the owner I became an OEM distributor for MGL!
For those who do not know... What is it?
The XTreme EFIS is an affordable mini Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS).
It can be configured as a (PFD) ‘Primary Flight Display’ with (AHRS) ‘Attitude Heading Reference System’ sensors added and/or an engine monitor system with (RDAC) ‘Remote Data Acquisition Computer’ added.
You may also program the XTreme by using MGL’s “Central” program to enter your Navigation Log and upload it using the SD card slot.
It includes a GPS receiver that is used to provide ground speed and range information, a basic (CDI) Coarse Deviation Indicator navigator, and as a backup/control for the AHRS ‘Attitude Heading Reference System’.
You can attach many different kinds of sensors to display Engine monitoring statistics, air temperature, a compass, fuel flow and sensors that tell you your spatial orientation like the SP-7 (AHRS) ‘Attitude Heading Reference System’ sensor for three axes that provide heading, attitude and yaw information for the aircraft.
If you do not select the AHRS SP-7 attitude sensor, you can still have a GPS-derived bank angle display! You may add sensors at any time to monitor just about everything.
Replaces the old fashion steam gauges and adds much more information:
1. Airspeed indicator with Vne (Max exceed speed), Vno (Max maneuvering speed), Vs1 (Min safe speed, normal), Vso (min safe speed, landing)
2. True airspeed
3. Altimeter with local pressure setting
4. Slip/skid indicator
5. Turn indicator
6. Wind speed and direction
7. Vertical speed indicator
8. Temperature (w/probe)
9. 2 Flight Timers as well as Hobbs, maintenance, and airframe Timers
10. Clock
The PFD Primary Flight Display navigation features:
1. Compass Rose
2. Heading Bug
3. Coarse Selector
4. CDI Coarse Deviation Indicator
5. ETA Estimated Time of Arrival
6. ETE Estimated Time En Route
7. DTW Distance to waypoint
8. CRS Current Set Coarse to active waypoint
9. Horizontal line roll and pitch indicators
10. Climb Ratio
11. Barometer
12. Density Altitude
You also get comprehensive engine monitoring gauges including:
1. RPM Tachometer
2. EGT displayed as a bar graph with warning limit alarms
3. CHT displayed as a bar graph with warning limit alarms
4. Oil Temperature
5. Oil Pressure
6. Fuel Level (1 or 2 with resistive senders)
7. Fuel Flow (w/ sensor)
8. Fuel Pressure (if not using NTC CHT inputs)
9. Water Temperature (if required w/sensor)
10. Carburetor Temperature (if required)
11. Rotor RPM (w/sensor)
12. Current Sensor Input (RDAC XF only)
