Great video, Scott. I just bought a plane with a MGL iEFIS Challenger Lite. This was the best breakdown I have seen so far. Thank you! I subscribed so I could follow along with your build.

[@scottmatthews5280]

Tyler Dowdy thanks appreciate it.

[@darrenbradz]

I think your set up will be Awsome.

[@tonylam9548]

I am building a similar plane , the STOL version, and considering MGL. One big question is the future of such company, located in a failed state, where are they going to get the next generation of engineers to take over. Africa seems to manufacture failed states, so it is not a one time deal. Will your avionics be orphaned in a few years as S. Africa slid down that slippery sloop. I still remember all the people, me included that supported Mandella, but lack the long range vision to see beyond him. Maybe Dynon will be a better choice?

[@scottmatthews5280]

My MGL is fantastic and half the price

[@tonylam9548]

@@scottmatthews5280 If I get a 50% discount, then it is worth considering MGL.

Very nice stuff Scott. Great choice

[@scottmatthews5280]

Steve Mowat thank you

Great video, I do like MGL's Radio Head with its easy to read channel numbers and its 16 second play back, for a dyslexic guy like me in busy airspace, I think it will be worth the extra money. One thing I've been trying to figure out is if from MGL main screen can radio frequency's be selected from the map like on a Dynon, I haven't found that in MGL documentation.

[@scottmatthews5280]

Darrin Towers yes I believe so but time will tell, happy building

[@johnburns9950]

Looking good. We will see how much faster yours goes with the premade cables.

[@madduxprinceton1046]

not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all the new series on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf these days xD

[@gunnarvance4385]

@Maddux Princeton Yup, have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :)

Hi good vid, I’m building the ch750 and have fitted out with all mgl gear including ibox and the ecb, the ecb is a good add in as it works like a breaker but with out the weight. You probably already know that if you go onto mgl Africa you can download all the full manuals that are really good and informative for mgl avionics Good luck with the build stay safe

[@scottmatthews5280]

Thanks for the comments

[@fjandgbwatson]

I am glade it is you fitting all that Scott and not me , good luck but i am sure you will sort it out.

[@darrenbradz]

I got Efis xtream. And powered it up with my drill battery it works great.

[@scottmatthews5280]

Darren Brady nice work

[@Jeff034]

Thinking of updating the Jab, (your gear is for the 3300 I think) around about $ what was the damage for the for your setup?

[@scottmatthews5280]

Jiefu I got all my information here ; lightflying.com.au/ and www.mglavionics.co.za/iEFIS.htm

[@scottmatthews5280]

All going in the 750 Cruzer

[@gregbevpriest7623]

MGL... good choice with an ARDAC.....have fun Scotty sorting out the avionics. I've become brain dead and frustrated trying to work out all the avionics wiring for my full Dynon Package.

[@scottmatthews5280]

gregbev priest yep, migrated to the tail section hoping the elves would have installed mine by now.

[@john9663]

Scott. Will the iPad interface with the MGL system? If so, what will the MGL system share with the iPad and vice versa?

[@scottmatthews5280]

John I believe so.

[@thewheelieguy]

MGL has some great videos, such as kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKLQgIuqns6maNU As a complaint, you never got to what's in the title -- "How I decided on MGL Avionics"

[@scottmatthews5280]

Best bang for buck at the end of the day an simplicity of the install. Unfortunately when it comes to simple installation videos there is not much available. Plenty show capabilities but not the very basics. thanks
