Just some personal observations ...

I saw this at Oshkosh last year and was pretty intrigued with it.  I feel it
is too small to be considered a true EFIS to replace your primary flight
instruments.  It looks like it could be a good backup instrument or maybe
fill that hole where you might want an HSI.  But the real problem with this
thing was screen flicker.  The flicker was so bad that as I walked into the
booth at Oshkosh the salesman came right up to me and said "these are demo
units and the production ones should not have the flicker."  It appeared
that any change in any parameter on the screen caused the whole screen to
re-draw from the top down slow enough to cause a real noticeable flicker.
Some people said they didn't notice it but it was VERY noticeable to me and
must have been enough of an issue to the salesman to cause him to make that
the first thing out of his mouth.

Anyway, if they have eliminated or improved the flicker this looks like a
very cool little unit.
