Found some interesting reading for those interested in the Garmin G1000.

These guys were shown here not to long ago. I have contacted them regarding my new project and they said that it was still in development but it I will be very happy when it is finished.

Sorry for the re-post. I did a forum search on P.I. Engineering before I posted but received no hits.

Wow, how timely, through the acquisition of a used PFC Yoke, TQ, and this component by PI, look soon for a simple B-1900 FBSD (Fixed Base Simulator Device) This component would complete the package. When can I oder?:)
P.S. I have about 20 minutes on the Mindstar G1000, in a C172 but now that I found out one can put it into any aircraft, I willl use it more, It was worth my purchase.

Tim,
Not a problem for the second post. The last time it was shown I could not get that page to load for anything. Now it's working. I'm still waiting to hear from them that its ready and I wonder what its going to cost.

[Tim]

According to the post at MindStar, a reference to cost was under $300. USD.

The other question is if a MFD is also planned.

When will it be for sale? I did not see anything at the PI site. I'll email them today and see if someone will visit here with additional imfo.

[Tim]

I received an email reply from P.I.E.

Monitor Mask PFD is still in development. No other information can be released at this time.

I also asked about a Mulit-Function Display. Again, too early for any additional infomation on future products.

It was recommended those interested sign up for their News Letter.

Hope this helps.
