Another Cool New Toy

So I could throw away my Alt, compass and Asi in my Ex Cub?

yes. it's a redundant G3X without engine monitoring. That'll probably come next. Built in GPS and ADHRS for under $1200. Pretty amazing.

How does it do airspeed and will it show mph?

Dynon D2 , Same Thing.

More like the Dynon D6 / D10, I think. The article says it has a built-in GPS, but look at the photo of the unit-- it has separate airspeed and groundspeed displays, and they're reading differently. So it must also have pitot / static connections.
I'm kind of interested in replacing the vacuum gyros in my C180 with a panel-mounted (non-portable) EFIS, so here's the part of the article that interests me:

"FAA regulations prohibit non-TSO equipment like the G5 from being installed in standard category aircraft, but legislation now before Congress and backed by AOPA would allow safety-enhancing equipment such as this to be added to general aviation cockpits if approved."

I thought it would be of particular interest to G3X users. For my use? I can get adequate redundancy with my iPhone or iPad as long as my GDL39 3D is working. Even if that fails I have most of the functionality with the Garmin Pilot app, just no ADHRS. Still, it's nice to see another good option on the market. Competition drives innovation.
