Beware if you buy the mini, it’s a gateway drug. Did my small office need the big one? No. Does it bring me an immense amount of joy every time it pops a flight up? 1000%. I put the mini in a window facing outside so I can now see what’s flying over when I’m in the backyard.
The full size is awesome! The build quality is top notch, the mounting hardware is super solid and easy to install. It looks AMAZING. I really like not having to choose between the full airport names and the metrics. The logos are more detailed with the increased number of LEDs. The kids love it too.
Setup is super simple, though I’ll make one note here in case others experience it:
I had a few errors display during initial setup (manifest and update didn’t load) but it finished setup and still worked. Some of the settings weren’t updating though and flight tracking didn’t show all the trip data. After their most recent app updates (and I noticed this in the mini as well) some settings like date display and VR Fpm weren’t working. In both cases, they self updated overnight and that was all they needed. So if you experience it, set the settings to what you want, leave them be overnight and check in the morning before submitting a support request. Both are working flawlessly now!
