It’s the PMS50 GTN 650 GPS, which I set to the autopilot screen to answer @blanston12’s question above.Question: What is this thingy/gadget under the transponder?

- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

If this works with the free GTN 750 package, I just might have to pick it up!

Repaints is a good point, I also started some things. I wanted to apply some designs I created for the R/C version of the Decathlon, which I am building, but I am still not sure, whether I like the 3D or 2D option better. 3D is quite new for me and has its hurdles, but the 2D wrapping of the wings is a bit warped. Also not too easy.

Well, I don't regret this purchase at all. She looks great and the FD feels VERY nice. I'm going to have a lot of fun in this.
I did notice one little bug, since I flew it in questionable weather: the rain effects on the port-side window go from back to front instead of front to back. However, I can certainly ignore that. What a beautiful and fun little bird.

The Autopilot feature that is in the GTN650 and GTN750 only works with the premium version from PMS50.com - You can try out premium every Thursday of the week with their code. The other two variants do have a built in Auto-Pilot and also a G3X Touch Screen and/or the GNS430/GTN650 variant to go with it.

After having flown it more than a few times, I am quite happy with the GSN430 variant with its autopilot for those long flights. I have not joined the GTN650 bandwagon yet, don't see the advantage over the older GSN530/430 autopilots to spend 50$ for the full version of the 650 (I do have the freeware version).
