Hello... I have been looking at some panel mount ADS-B equipment for my Piper Warrior.  I would like to keep my iFly 720 or I may consider moving up to the 740 as my ADS-B in.  I am considering the Stratus ESG transponder for my ADS-B out but I really don't want to use an iPad with ForeFlight for the in.. does anybody have any recomendations of what to pair with the 720 or 740 that meets the 2020 mandate? Does the Stratus Appareo or Garmin GTX 330 or GDL 84 or perhaps the Lynxx 9000 work with iFly?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I purchased the FreeFlight 978 in/out from AP. I installed it about 2 months ago. Works great and was one of the more economical.

Braxton,

The Stratus ESG is only an "out" device - it doesn't interface with FF or any other navigation app.  You can pick any ADS-B receiver you want, and have all the benefits of in & out.  They do offer an "ESGi" package, which includes a Stratus S2 receiver - I don't recommend you get that.  But the ESG looks like a pretty good deal, and paired with a Stratux receiver ($199 on our store) - you will save $ and have all the benefits.
