Hi All,

A friend of mine is looking at perhaps upgrading his panel and installing a
G3X system.  He also needs to get a new nav/com (or perhaps gps) as his
current one is on its last legs (apollo 60).  Also, his transponder needs
to be replaced.

They're telling him (or recommending)


   - GTN750 gps
   - GTX330 transponder

Now, my friend doesn't fly IFR nor will he ever... so I told him that he
only really needs a NAV/COM since the G3X unit has built in GPS and you can
build your flight plans in there (rather than in the GTN750 and have it
crossfill to the G3X).   I would suggest that perhaps an SL30 or some other
nav/com is all he'll need.

Also, the GTX330 they quoted at $4000 (even though you can get it yourself
at Aircraft Spruce for $3485)... but you can get the GTX23 transponder for
half the price -- its remote mounted and will save some panel space.

They also quoted $2000 for a blank panel (I had mine done for about $300,
laser cut, painted and engraved/decaled)... plus $2000 to swap out the old
panel and place in this new one (this is outside of all the labour to do
the other work).

Finally, they wanted $160 for the pilots guide --- a free download from the
Garmin web site.

Needless to say, I'm thinking they want to take advantage of him so I
thought I would check in with you folks to see if you can offer any
recommendations for a good and reasonable shop in Florida.

Regards,

Dico
