Marissa was and has been a solid CSR, thank you! The equipment arrived crated up and undamaged however lead time was longer than we'd like. Other than uncrating, installing a plug and testing the unit, little effort was required for commissioning.

We recently purchased this power unit to us on our new GVII-G500. We haven't received the new aircraft yet but this unit was recommended by another GVII-G500 operator that says it works great for their operation. The ordering and delivery process with Pilot John was a great experience as they were very accommodating and easy to work with all the way through the delivery of the unit to our hangar. I have worked with them numerous times on several GSE items and that's why I consistently come back to them. Great people and organization!

The unit is the easiest GPU that I have ever had to move around a hangar floor. The design on ease of use has really impressed me with the new unit. So far it has met all of expectations and we hope that the reliability will live up to the sales reputation.

Never a moment of dissatisfaction while dealing with the crew at Carolina. This GPU purchase was no different from an experience that I have become accustomed to. Outstanding communication, expedited delivery & final product at the hangar within 1 week, sheer excellence. This was an extremely urgent matter as aircraft changed hangars and so did the voltage requirement. My specific appreciation to John & Dan.

Great unit. Using it on a Gulfstream. Has a touch screen for controls, which can be a bit slow, but it is nice and compact, fairly quiet, and rolls nicely.

We needed a GPU asap. Mike Blout, set us up quickly with a Unitron UFC-45M for a great price and within a couple days. The entire process was smooth. Thank you CGSE !

John was fantastic to work with. All RFQ's were answered promptly and professionally. To my knowledge, the unit is working well. We are using it to power special equipment installed on the aircraft. Overall, great experience.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Question:
Which unit is compatible with the Gulfstream G700 and G800 aircraft – the UFC-45M or the UFC-90M unit?
Answer:
The UFC-45M single-output unit should be sufficient to support either the Gulfstream G700 or the G800. If you are looking to power both aircraft simultaneously, the UFC-90M dual-output unit could accomplish this.
