Do you have a projected sunset date on the 740b possibly based on planned future updates to the EFB totally outstripping its capabilities?

Thank you for the write up. From your pics, it does appear to me that the iFly has a tad more screen real estate. You mentioned the Tripletek was mounted on the corner of the windshield. Do you use a suction mount on the windshield? Also, what do you use the USB-C cable for? Thanks again.

I was referring to the new Android tablet. I use a 740 now. Thanks.

Take a look at this thread. Scroll down and you'll find a pics of an iFly tablet cradle installation. It is bulky. https://adventurepilot.community.forum/threads/why-would-i-want-to-buy-an-ifly-tablet-and-what-about-waas.386/

Thank you. That answers a lot of questions I have about what it would take to mount it in my plane.

I assume you cut a hole in the panel to make it work. Would you mind sharing a pic of how that looks on your panel?

I too have been a 740b user and have been trying to get feedback on the new tablet. My argument for the iFly tablet over an iPad would be daylight readability in the cockpit and heat tolerance. One of the 740b's main benefits was its bright screen and the fact that it didn't overheat and...

So I guess we are left to speculation right now about how it well it works and integrates into the cockpit. I'm sure the tablet itself will be fine so that leaves, for me at least, the question of integration in the cockpit. One thing I just noticed is that the docking station uses a RAM mount...

In December I asked if there were any PIREPS on the new iFly tablet and got nary a response. Can anyone share their impressions after using it a while? I want it to replace a Garmin 795 but before I rip out the panel mount on the Garmin to replace it, I'd like to get some feedback on the iFly...

My plane came equipped with a Garmin 795 and a GDL50. I've been using it along side my 740B. I have to say I think the iFly hands down is my preferred GPS. So much more flexibility and ease of use. I've never had Garmin navigation equipment before but it seems overly engineered to me. It looks...

Is anyone flying with the iFly tablet yet? If so, what are your impressions so far?

Has anyone parsed the data from the flight logs (.log files) to pull out ground speeds. If so can you tell me what position it is in? I'd like to put it in a spreadsheet and do some of my own calculations. Here is a sample: $GPRMC,073342,A,3611.7169,N,08735.9634,W,075.0,294.0,081023,0,E*73...

Looks promising. I'd like it to replace a Garmin 790 with a similar panel mounted bracket with the iFly. Any idea yet what all the connectors are for? I think I see an RS232 but what are the others?

What is the latest on the new tablet based iFly?

Interesting idea.
