With respect to the Freeflight 1101:
Talked with a knowledgeable person at Sun n Fun, according to him:
1) Freeflight 1101 (despite what D2 portrayed) is definitely not intended for IFR use. (D2 knew this)
2) Freeflight is willing to swap out 1101 for 1201 for about $2,500 for a limited time
3) 1201 will probably be upgradeable to gamma 3 (precision approach) within the next year or so
Can anybody confirm this?
If this is so, it would seem to me to make sense to make the swap.

Subject: [LML] Freeflight 1101 wiring
According to Chelton's wiring diagrams RS232 output from the Freeflight 1101 is on pin 8. Looking at the Freeflight documentation it shows two RS232 outputs; TX1 on pin 8 and TX2 on pin 7. Freeflight's diagram of a typical installation shows connecting to TX2 on pin 7. I called Freeflight and their tech support said to use pin 7 (TX2). They said TX1, pin 8, is a maintenance port and does not output data in normal operation.
For those of you with working Chelton/Freeflight installations, which Freeflight connector pin are you using for RS232 output?
