If you do consider the Stratomaster, here is the info I got when I
asked them for information:
Of course an Ercoupe is a certified aircraft and therefore approval
is required to change the avionics. This is quite a large modification.
Yes, any avionics shop can install our products. They are fairly
easy to install (most installs are done by owners of Experimental
aircraft).
The radio is set to be approx $800 when available in Jan/Feb.
Here is some information on the Odyssey:
We should have information on our web site within the next month.
But, you can use the Enigma features as a guide to what the Odyssey
will do (www.stratomaster.com/enigma). The Odyssey runs basically
the same software (allowing the same user-flexibility in terms of
what is displayed), but it has a faster processor, and a much more
expensive TFT display, with much more screen real estate.
The prelimenary absolute outside dimensions of the Odyssey are
12.5" wide x 8" high
Mounting depth is approx 3 inches, with a few exceptions where
cables exit the rear.
The Odyssey is priced at $2,995 for the panel itself. Compare to the
Enigma, which is $1,995. Whereas the Enigma full package with AHRS
sensors and engine sensors is about $3,600, an Odyssey package is
under $5,000, with all available options.
Here is a typical package for a 4-cyl engine:
Odyssey - $2,995
RDAC Xb - $159
SP-2 compass sensor - $185
SP-4 attitude sensor - $825
4 x EGT @ $40 - $160
4 x CHT @ $26 - $104
1 x fuel flow sensor - $145
1 x SD card - $50
1 x backup battery - $30
Total approx $4,635 + shipping
We are going to start shipping in November. We already have quite a
long reservation list, so let us know if you woud like to get on.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
