New Honeywell releases?

Post by **Spike** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 4:11 pm

The scuttle on the net is that Honeywell will be releasing something big at Oshkosh. Did any of you guys that went to SNF hear anything? The rumors that Ive read say that its going to be fully integrated, as in everything. I wonder if they are going to go after the G1000. Its about time they did something lower end that high end business jets.

No matter what it is, it's Honeywell, and it will more than likely still be priced above what the average Joe can afford.

I hope whatever it is, that it will compete with Garmin, and maybe bring the prices down from the stratosph...no wait, space.

I agree with Chad on this one... I have no interest (or money for that matter) in spending that much loot for a panel like that in an RV.

They just started putting some full page ads in magazines specifically hinting at a major unveiling at Osh.

Why do you care? you have been one of the last steam holdouts of the century!

No, no, no! Spike is going to put in a G1000X. Right Spike?

I care because Im interested in the industry and I think its neat to see things progress.

Im also not one of the last steam holdouts of the century, Im just not yet one who is willing to embrace experimental glass panel technology. Especially considering that I hope to do some IFR in my RV.

Glass done by companies that have been around for a fairly long time, and that has been certified, or based off of certificated versions, are a different ball game to me. The problem I see is the entry cost. If I were wealthy Id seriously be looking at the G900 as John points out.
