  1. Shawn, Unless I am missing something or things at Dynon have changed, when you presently purchase Skyview, the database subscription is included in the purchase price of the unit, for life. For my Skyview database subscription (FAA aviation and obstacle), I pay nothing. Now, if I want to add Seattle Avionics charts to Skyview, that is $99/yr or $199/3 yrs. I let my Seattle Avionics subscription expire, because Skyview and/or Foreflight/WngX suffice just fine (VFR). That withstanding, the G796 and Aera 660 units are awesome. But at this point, adding either one would be somewhat overkill. As you implied, I also use my iPad for additional information and Skyview backup.
  2. Thank you Dave, for the feedback. I like the new site. I guess it's kinda' like me . . . a work in progress.
  3. Why does the user ID extend past the header graphic? Is anybody else seeing that with their display?
  4. In landscape viewing mode, with an iPad, when "SmallerCTFLIERLogoImage" theme is selected, the top/right of the splash page does not display correctly. There appears to be frame overlap. Is there any way users can correct this?
  5. It's not so much that, but I do think by going E-LSA, you reduce the size of your market, when it's time to sell the airplane. Here's why: I have talked to some perspective buyers (especially 1st time buyers) who would not even consider an E-AB or E-LSA aircraft, for fear that shortcuts or shoddy maintenance may have been signed off by individuals, who have not received sufficient maintenance training to ensure a high degree of quality. In some cases, based upon some airplanes I've considered purchasing, I think that is valid concern. Of course, one could argue, the same could be said for aircraft that have been maintained by 'not so good' A&P's. We all know there are some out there. As for the resale, you will never know the true value of your E-LSA . . . until the day you sell it. IMHO, attention to detail and good documentation is key to selling any aircraft.
  6. There is a possible downside to taking the aircraft from S-LSA to E-LSA. It may decrease the resale value. There are some prospective buyers (I have talked to several) who will not even consider a purchase of an Experimental or E-LSA. It seems their reluctance has to do with how an aircraft has been maintained and by whom. This speaks volumes about good record keeping and reputable mechanics, who give extra attention to detail.
  7. Just out of curiosity, why did you choose the Aera 660? I am also equipped with the Garmin 396. Nice little unit as a backup, but I am interested in your reasons for the 660. When I do the ADS-B upgrade, I plan on adding a few other things and the Aera 660 may be one of them.
