haha it's a free country friend, you can do whatever you want on here so long as it's mildly on topic and not spam. 

With regards to stratux etc, it's great but it's cheap. You get what you pay for. I tried to fly with one (and I work on them!) and managed to break it first time out. YMMV.

I've been using Stratux since version 1.2 IIRC. I've upgraded as improvement come out, including adding the AHRS board. I find the AHRS to be more of a toy than a tool, while the rest of the Stratux is solid - as long as you remember to shut it down before pulling power out from under it.

Built my own Stratux more then 3 years ago and it seems bulletproof.  The ADHARs does drive the synthetic vision on the IFly 740 but with some pixelation.

Mark,

I have the iFly and the STRATUX with AHRS and use it all the time.  I've had no issues over the years and even recalibrate it from time to time.

I will try to share some screen shots.  

I sometimes use the AHRS at night or on MVMC days to help find the field and line-up on the runway - nice function to have up here around all these mountains and towers everywhere! Works fine...naturally, I do NOT use it in IMC, as that would be betting your life on a $178 piece of gear made in a basement!

Best wishes!  Mike N714AJ
