MGL Extreme
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2011 8:17 pm
Hi Guys
Just want to give my feedback on the MGL extreme. Last week Rick from Kitplanes for Africa came to install my MGL extreme in my Jabiru SP. As you can see from the limited space I have on the old jabi panel my options was limited to either the small danon or the extreme, having flown an SP with a danon EFIS before I was very keen on getting one in my plane but the cost of these units is quite heavy unitil I heard about the MGL extreme.
I went for the extreme with RDAC ,4 x egt ,4 x cht sendors ,OAT and Fuel Flow leaving the Gyro and Compass for later. The AH works with some clever GPS calculation and one can hadly notice that there is no Gyro atached to the unit. My intension was basically to use it as a engine monitor and fuel flow and this woks absolutely briliantly. The amount of aditionall information that the extreme gives you is mind bogelling from your density altitude, outside air temp even wind direction (with compass installed). All this installed without breaking the bank or having the misses not talk to me for a week.
I have now flown abour 4 hours since this unit was installed and am still finding thing that impress me every time. (eg this morning I figured out the checklist and min/max logging functions) Next will be an AP
I just want to say thanks to RIck (mogas) for the profesionall instalation and can recommend his services to anyone
