MGL Xtreme EFIS
Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2011 9:28 am
I am very exited, got my new MGL Xtreme Mini EFIS today from MGL. Can't wait to fit it this weekend. Have ordered it for the Thunderbird but will fit it to the Aquilla in the mean time.
Is it time to fly yet? Yes, let's go fly!

What I understand it is not "Dunk Proof". I am fitting mine to a Aquilla Trike on a T-Pod, so it is out of the weather but still exposed.Relborg wrote:Is it waterproof so that it can be fitted to a trike?
Just to confirm the price is for the unit without these add ons?Air Hog wrote:Basic system R7805 shipped to Pretoria. Does not have all the funtionality of GPS yet, but ground speed and heading working like normal GPS. Free upgrade later in the year as promised, to get all GPS functions working.
