Game Composites’ GB1 GameBird has made several advances since the airplane achieved FAA and EASA certification last year. The two-seat, fully aerobatic airplane has received the sign off to install Garmin’s popular G3X glass avionics as the primary source of flight data. Game Composites has chosen to offer the G3X as standard equipment, providing ADS-B In and Out, FIS-B, electronic engine monitoring and much more to each airplane rolling out of the factory.
