Genesys 3100 - Autopilot

[Cglencross]

Spoke with Barry Leblanc at Genesis.

They are willing to do a STC for the 3100 if:

Approximately 25 customers with $5000 down AT A DEALER and they would start the certification process.

Pricing would be

$25,000 for the 3100 as a new install (+install fees)
$12,900 for an upgrade from 55x to the 3100, factory re-worked and warrantied servos.

Which, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), is more than the Garmin installed price as that is typically about 18000 and you would also need to include 5000 for GI 275......but at least they are entertaining us....and we could still work with other avionics manufacturers instead of being locked into the Garmin world (which admittedly is a pretty good world).

If people are serious, let me know and we will see if we can push this forward....other wise, we should continue to push Garmin.
