LX Navigation Zeus

So an update...anyone flown using a Zeus? Paul Remde...any video of the Zeus coming?

My avionics shop has just installed the Zeus 2.8 in the front and back seat of my twin glider. I have bench checked it extensively and will be flying it within the week. Full report to follow.

I would expect the Zeus to be great. But personally I feel wary of
cutting a large hole in my instrument panel for any specific
instrument until standard cut-out sizes become accepted. For this
reason, I prefer a gooseneck mounted display for my moving map.
This approach enabled me to change from a Compaq to an Oudie
with very little work.

Andrew. I totally agree about cutting up one's panel. The Zeus 2.8 fits in a 80mm cutout. I replaced my GPS-NAV/LX-NAV/57mm Cambridge vario with the smaller Zeus and associated vario, with one 57mm left over to accomodate a transponder. I was concerned that the small display would be too small, but really it is no different than the LX7007/5000/4000 which I previously flew with since the mid 90s
(except that my eyes are quite a bit older now).
