    I love my Aspen Evolution 2500 system in the Bonanza, and it was great to learn more about the history of the company, the product and the people from this video.

    I love Christy. She is trying so hard to hint to these companies that she needs upgrades to the Warrior. I wish her luck. I mean Garmin did a whole panel for Schmiindy and Stevie. I think Christy's Warrior should be next..... Who Agrees?

    An upgrade was planned a few years ago for my Piper Mojave (Navajo), with Aspen and "G" being the only considerations. I'm a professional pilot, wanting function over glitz and choose Aspen. Garmin products are amazing, but in my GA experience there is information overload on the display. Aspen gives me more than is needed, but exactly what was desired- this being the overriding decision maker. Being about 30% less expensive was bonus. With nearly 2 years of operation, I have no regrets! Having an older airplane, interfacing digital to analog can be a pain. Aspen has made every effort to play well with others, having contacts and DAC's to make everything integrate well. My system is the KFC-250 autopilot, GTN750, L3 esi-500 and Aspen 2000C3. It took some patience on behalf of the shop for everything to talk and they do. Love it! My only complaint to date is the heavier aircraft are "Class 3" and the Pro Max development for these airplanes is slow...and that's on the good days. The Pro Max offers some wonderful enhancements over the legacy systems; I really would like to upgrade!

    Actually, Aspen Avionics was named after a search through the yellow pages for cool sounding names. It later adopted the aspen tree story on the hill top (which is true), but only as an afterthought.

    Did I misunderstand? He said $4995 for the 1k max and I got excited. Just pulled up Sarasota and the 1k max is $10,000. That’s tough for something we don’t need. $5k, I’d part with for a slick upgrade.

    I’ve been flying the Aspens and the Pro Max in particular and they are great panels. The WCA (wind correction angle) diamond I teach that You ARE the diamond. Fly it to the course indicator. I do wish the units bezel didn’t get so hot however.

    The blue diamond is wind correction angle right? Showing your track. Like the magenta diamond on a G1000

    Cost of instillation is more than the cost of the avionics. When the cost of labor is added to the avionic cost it's really hard to afford.

    Avionics in vernal are fairly reasonably priced all things considered imho. It’s the install cost that’s a killer. Just making my basic IFR six pack panel ifr GPS (non waas) is still $20k all in

    • @FlyingNDriving
      @FlyingNDriving Před 10 měsíci

      Yeah it's almost the same cost as the unit to install it, sometimes way more.

      I think you can buy direct or check out your local avionics shop-- they're probably certified dealers.
