KR> re:iFly 700
Paul, You are one ahead of me. I was not able to get the resolution fine enough to be able to read all the data on the screen. I could read most of it, but not all, and that is a very dangerous place to be when flying an approach for real. I have been in the goo too many times to be risking it. If you got your iFly to be fully readable, my hat is off to you. Have a blessed Sunday! IHS, Dave

Dave "Zipper" Goodman wrote The one problem I have found with the iFly is on the approach plates. If you are going to use the approach plate feature, be aware that the entire plate does not fit on the screen. To get the approach plate completely visible, select the plate, hit the turn page button and then zoom to set it at full page. I find it quite readable. I like the fact that you can drag the sectional about on the screen to see "ahead" or off to the side of your route. I'm not sure it will ever replace an instrument on the panel. OK, maybe the VOR.

I've heard nothing but good but be careful of buying outside of a dealer because of warrantee and upgrades issues. The yoke mount and post for the Anywhere map will fit the ball on the 700 if you want a yoke mount. la...@lebanair.com -Original Message- From: krnet-boun...@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-boun...@mylist.net] On Behalf Of rdrace...@aol.com Sent: Friday, January 14, 2011 10:45 PM To: kr...@mylist.net Subject: KR> re:iFly 700 Anybody out there have anything bad to say about these systems?

If you are going to use the approach plate feature, be aware that the entire plate does not fit on the screen. You will have to slew it around to see the bottom numbers (MDA, DH and such). If you were going to fly ANY IFR my recommendation would be to have paper plates in front of you for an approach you might need to make. For VFR/IFR high this would be an excellent thing to have in the plane. One could argue flying an IFR approach in the KR is not wise, but I would disagree with that assessment unless icing were a factor. Other than that, I have a few hours fiddling around with the iFly. It is a solid product, and the company, as you said, is planning some very nice upgrades. It is viewable in bright sunlight, a very useful feature in the KR series. If someone does a lot of flying outside their local patch, this is a great way to have all the charts available for those cross country flights. My opinion.

I'm very interested in this system so I emailed the company to ask if it had a flight instrument page. The reply was that it is a planes upgrade for 2011 along with many other upgrades. I wish I still had their reply to forward on to the net but I don't have it anymore. If you are interested in the product email them and you will get a prompt reply.
