So you get the magnetometer with the Hawk option? I guess probably it is in the MEMs sensor they install in every unit and just turn it on?

Richard, does that include the AHRS? Or is that another $900? Hard to tell from published data, but it looks like they are separate options. The Air came with both.

Actually the S100 with Hawk winds is about the same price as the Air-Avionics Display S + AHRS.

I think it comes with the AHRS.

The magnetometer option is a separate box, and for good reason: you need to position it somewhere free from stray magnetic fields. So, I don't think that Hawk wind uses it. It's not cheap, however:
