Just wondering what avionics/instrumentation packages people are looking at matching up to their 350.
I've been poking around at Dynon and GRT. GRT seems to have some reasonable pricing for complete packages but there aren't a whole lot of them flying around in my end of the rink.

I installed a Garmin panel, purchased from Roger at Zenith and think I will like it. Picked it up ion Dec 2017 and it was
a little tricky to install, but managed to get it all working, including ADS in/out. I have the 350IS and only had trouble
gettng it to read the oil temp. sensor. Dynon is probably as good, I just happened to know someone high up in the
Experimental instruments department at Garmin......
I am flying UL350i and have Dynon Skyview complete panel.
I could not be happier with the Dynon system.
Dynon is on verge of releasing 2 band ADSB to replace our original single band.
Great people, great stuff!!!

Hey Jerold.
Do you use the fuel flow capability with the red cubes? Autopilot?
How did your installation go? Pre made harnesses? Have I asked enough questions yet? Lol
What oil temp,fuel pressure,cht, and egt sensors did you use? Garmin tech not too helpful saying they dont know anything about the UL engines.
Used the ones that came with the Dynon sensor package for a 4 cylinder Lycoming fuel injected engine, equivilent to the UL350. A combination of Dynon and Kavlico, the oil and fuel senders were Kavlico, the fuel one had to be replaced due to the service bulletin. Dynon has been awesome with information about their stuff and UL power tie ins.I bought a Garmin GTX-200 radio and Garmin wouldn’t give me the time of day about tying it into the EFIS. Dynon responded immediately and it all works great.
I just finished installing a complete Dynon package with the new ADS-B module for my Zenith 650 with the UL 350i engine. Installation was straightforward and I encountered no problems with the configuration. I am in the process of putting my wings on now so it will be awhile before I fly.
I'm in the process of installing 2 GRT Sport EX in my 650. Their EIS for the UL350i is great in that it eliminates the need for the "Red Cubes". It takes fuel flow information from the UL ECU.
