Garmin trying to stay kind of close to the competition with a more simple box as well…

$3k if you already have a WAAS position source, $3800 for those of us without. Another interesting option anyway!

Looks like a beautiful aircraft!!

Thanks everyone! Finally got it put in… installed the JPI 700 into the Tiger, and included RPM and fuel flow to help monitor trends. (We also already had the Fuel Flow transducer installed for an FS450.)

Put a dozen hours on it so far and love it! LOTS more information at my fingertips than with the old imprecise EGT gauge we had.

Anyway, just thought I’d give an update. Happy flying!

Congrats Jim! Been an owner for just over a year and a half now… and loved it. She’s a great aircraft!

Welcome to the group! I’m relatively new to the Tiger as well (just over a year), but have loved every bit of it! And I’ve found the community to be incredibly welcoming and helpful.

Enjoy the flying!

Nathan, my co-owner repurposed an old quart bottle for the same purpose… works pretty well!

I vote for #2! But I (sadly) haven’t been around my plane in a few months… so that’s my excuse if I’m wrong.

Going to fix that here soon though!

This sounds like what he’s talking about. ADS-B Out including the WAAS position signal, antennas and all for $2,000. (Not including installation costs of course)
