Garmin Aera 660 and GDL 52 for sale

[bluethunder]

I'm upgrading my panel and will not need these two items going forward.  Let me know if you are interested and I'm sure we can hammer out a deal.  Both have their original boxes and accessories.

I’m interested in the AERA 660 for my advanced ultralight which I fly in Alberta. If it’s still available, let me know a little history on it and what you think is a fair price. Thanks, James McPherson.

Sorry James, I wasn't paying attention to this board recently.  They are both sold now.

Was the GDL reliable? Can you give us a quick review? I heard they're pretty spotty north of the border.

In my experience, I found it reliable.  You always have the problem of other aircraft still running without ADS-B output, but I will have the same problem going forward with my new Garmin panel that I installed.  The upgrade was the only reason I was I was sell, not the reliability.  I had more sh*t on the top of my panel than I cared for before the swap.

The new layout looks slick!
