KR> IFLY 720
I've been using a ten inch tablet running IFLY software for several months now and happy with the results. I'm putting my IFLY 720 up for sale to the first person with $200. It is fully functioning but I don't have a need for two flat screens to navigate. It comes with two power cords, 12 VDC and 120 VAC, and a carry bag but no mounts.

Netters, I'm looking to upgrade some avionics and will have an iFly 720 for sale with soft case , ac adaptor, dc adaptor, and suction mount. It is a fully functioning unit in like new condition with a screen protector always used. I will know tomorrow at this time if it's for sale or not but I'll honor first offers if it goes on sale. Price $450 I have a current subscription and could send it with a complete current update. The 720 has WIFI capabilities and with the right equipment can show traffic and weather. Larry Flesner

There are different types of touch screen activation.The two I am aware of is resistance and capacitance.Resistance uses pressure to complete a circuit on the screen.The capacitance type is probably more sensitive in that the finger changes the capacitance of the circuit and activates the system.Gloves are not useful in the capacitance screens unless they are lamb skin or some other similar material that will produce the same effect.Tommy W.

Mine probably takes well over two minutes to boot, and the touch screen isn't as sensitive as in iPhone, which may be by design.

KR> Ifly 720
I have been using the Ifly GPS app on my tablet and phone for over a year and love it. I recently got a new project (Murphy Rebel) that came with an Ifly 720. I powered it up over the weekend and noticed that it took probably a minute or so to boot up and operation seems to not be very fast on it. I kind of expected that on their dedicated hardware that it would zip right along or at least run as good as it does on my phone that is also running 100 other processes at the same time. I also noticed that the touch screen requires a harder touch than my phone or tablet (which may be a good thing bouncing around in the cockpit) Can any of you that run the 720 comment on this? I am wondering if this is normal or if mine might have some issues. Also, did they hide a power button the unit somewhere that I just have not found yet?
KR> iFly 720
I have a Ifly 700 and have considered upgrading to 720 but I have had mine over a year and they only allow $200 tradein allowance for it. I was flying a friends RV9A yesterday with all the latest Garmin and Dynons on the panel and wishing I had my Ifly for the moving map, situation awareness and ease of use. The Garmin does more and is IFR certified but learning to use the thing is a pain in the radio. I replaced the Ifly suction mount with Ram mounts and use a plug in to power it. Just go ahead and buy one Mark, you wont be sorry.

KR> iFly 720
I have been using an iFly 720 for a while now (6 mos?) and love it! It is fairly bright as tablets go and you can have the map follow the plane or North up. Very intuitive user interface. I put a piece of velcro on my panel and on the back of the 720 and simply hang it on the panel when not trying to change course, etc. My only complain is the external battery - it would be handy if the battery was internal. -jim wildhorsesrac...@yahoo.com > > From: Mark Jones >To: KRnet >Sent: Monday, February 6, 2012 8:11 PM >Subject: Re: KR> iFly 720 > >>i"ll let you know how the 720 works in about a week or so. >>Robert Pesak > > >Hey Robert, >I want a detailed report on the iFly 720 as I am considering buying one.
