Qs: mini X vs GA, standard/optional features
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2019 7:39 pm
Hi,
I'm looking at a used mini GA that includes the remote magnetometer, but no remote air data module. I'm getting confusing/conflicting info from the GRT website product descriptions *and* the installation manuals, so I'm hoping someone here can help (GRT seems to be gone for the holidays).
1. For the GA, is adding air data as simple as purchasing/adding the optional $300 remote air data module, or is there additional 'activation' cost involved, as well?
2. Can AOA be included with the air data module for the GA, and at what extra cost? (I have a Dynon AOA pitot probe in the plane.)
3. Can OAT be added with the air data module, for true airspeed calcs? Has anyone 'rolled their own' temperature probe? (I have the very old Dynon OAT sensor for the original D10 in my plane.)
4. It appears that the GA comes standard with the map option; is that correct?
Thanks for any info you can offer,
Charlie
