Douglas,
The Xbow would require some for of air data computer to
be added to the mix. There are only two that I know of that will pass the
required information to the CFS IDU's. The MVP-50 I believe has an airdata
option and supports the CFS IDU's or the Grand Rapid EIS also supports it.
I've head that the AFS stuff also has a serial link and Chelton code, but I know
of no-one who is using it. If you don't already any any of the above, then
it would require the purchase of the full engine monitor as I don't know of just
an Air data option.

Chelton is willing to sell their Pinpoint AHRS for
$4,000 to D2 customers
Crossbow is willing to sell their NAV425EX-100 for
$2,800 to D2 customers
What are peoples thoughts on the comparison between these
two:
- Have the problems that Crossbow had previously been
fixed?
- Is this an apples to apples comparison - i.e. do both include
the same elements or is there a need to buy additional components for one or
the other?
- Is there a sense that one or the other is a superior
product?
