Garmin Company released a new interface module of ADAHRS and EIS, which greatly reduced the price of G3X, reaching as low as 4375 1 USD. In addition, Garmin also introduced new optional configuration modules for G3X system, including autopilot, angle of attack alarm and remote control ADS-B receiver. Carl Wolf, Garmin's vice president in charge of aviation product marketing, said: "These new products were designed by our special experimental engineering team, many of whom are pilots and homebuilders. They have created an exquisite and low-cost avionics product that they hope to install on the plane. " Garmin's new integrated autopilot provides functions such as flight guidance curve, coupled approach, VNAV and automatic matching. The servo system of GSA 28 "intelligent" autopilot adopts a brand-new design, which is specially optimized for the experimental aircraft market. The weight is only 1.4 lbs, which is 40% lighter than the autopilot servo system of most experimental aircraft. The reverse drive design of gear meshing clutch and brushless DC motor adds an extra layer of protection without using safety pin design. The meshing clutch reduces the vibration influence of the flight control surface on the motor, so that when the autopilot is turned off, the pilot feels the least change in friction resistance. Each servo system provides a built-in integrated interface to drive the servo balancing device provided by customers themselves. When autopilot is turned off, the servo system provides speed adjustment for manual trim control. When the autopilot is turned on, the servo system automatically balances the aircraft, so that the aircraft is always in a balanced state. In addition, the software upgrade of the servo system CAN be completed on CAN bus through G3X SD card, which eliminates the trouble of sending the servo system back to the original factory for upgrade. GM 305 autopilot control panel (optional configuration) can provide pilots with a specially optimized autopilot user interface and additional autopilot functions, including maintaining airspeed, independent flight guidance and optional yaw damper. The control panel of GMC 305 autopilot integrates the control wheel, which makes it easier to adjust the pitch, vertical speed and airspeed. In addition, in order to enhance safety, the advanced level mode (LVL) button on the panel can control the autopilot to help the aircraft enter the level straight flight state. Since the servo system interface is directly connected to ADAHRS, the GMC 305 control panel can operate the autopilot independently in case of displaying faults (although this is rare).
