G3X Packages Reduced Nearly $18K
When asked what is the number one barrier to aviation at the
entry level, most people give a one-word answer: "Cost." No one
questions how difficult the last three years have been for aviation
in all sectors, and so an announcement Wednesday from Flight Design
and Garmin may be some welcome news.
“Thanks to innovative thinking between leaders at Flight
Design and Garmin, we are pleased to announce Garmin G3X Special
Pricing, available at the start of AirVenture 2011, said John
Doman, Director of Business Development, Global Sales &
Marketing for Flight Design. “This is really more akin to
price slashing!”
The Garmin G3X Special Pricing Package offers a retail price of
only $9,980; previously it was $27,795. The SL40 radio is now part
of package instead of SL30 though the SL30 remains available as
option at additional cost. Finally, the Special Pricing Package
installs a TruTrak 2.25-inch back-up attitude director indicator
(ADI); the TruTrak back-up battery supply to the ADI has been
deleted from the package.
“We are confident this greatly increased value will boost
sales of the Garmin G3X package and make our market-leading CTLS
affordable to more customers,” said Flight Design GmbH CEO,
Matthias Betsch.
One of the first aircraft certified under ASTM International
standards in 2005, the CT (“composite technology”) has
been a top-selling LSA in America for six years. Flight Design sold
the first LSA to India and was the first LSA to earn Chinese Type
Design Approval. And, CTs have been flown around the world three
times.
