  1. Great advice!
  2. Same location for the 60-2 in my C.
  3. Donated on Saturday. Just signed out/back in. Still getting ads. Problem?
  4. I make a contribution to "keep the lights on" and so I don't have to look at ads. Is there a way to determine when my next donation is due prior to it's expiration? Sorry if it was covered elsewhere, but a search didn't turn up anything... TIA
  5. Waiting on his "official" word, but he recently wrote me stating that his web site is open for business... https://avunlimited.co/
  6. And I thought he was going to reference the cost of the fuel...
  7. How do you know? Give it a try on a VFR day... Report back.
  8. Had the same behavior with mine. Turns out the wiring to the pressure transducer was faulty. Check that as well as the transducer itself.
  9. I used Aerospace Reports for the title search. Money ($75) well spent.
  10. I'm old school: Lemon Pledge. Use only microfiber towels that are used for for windshields ONLY. Did I mention only used on windshields?!
  11. Yeah, that's a problem. There is no (obvious/easy) way to add it. I have the original yokes.
  12. Looking to do the same thing. @Lionudakis Got a pic or two?
  13. Mine are original from 67, so I'm over due also. Months ago I offered to test and pirep, but got no response.
  14. Thanks. The timer is counting down. Everybody that even *thinks* they may need these in the future should jump on this today!
  15. Is there anywhere to purchase this hardware as a kit?
  16. Can someone be so kind as to provide the hardware kit ordering information? My Google-fu skills stink!
  17. Irrelevant. We can't install it in our Mooneys. Like others have said, I doubt you can anytime soon either. Want something now, or in the near future? Look elsewhere. WRT requisites (Ex.: G5 for G500), they are just a part of life. Nothing new. This same approach is used everywhere. Wanna get a Spectrum phone? Gotta have Spectrum internet. And Prepay. You see this all the time in automobiles. Want convenience feature {X}? Gotta purchase the leather package(!) Sometimes features or technology take a building-block approach: Wanna run Foreflight? Gotta get an Apple; won't work on an Android. It is a required building block. It's the underlying (required) supporting technology in the G5 that the Garmin AP uses. Can't get the icing without buying the cake... I'm glad that I could purchase the G5 as a replacement to the old DG that was precessing beyond reason. I was able to later replace the AI with a another G5 while adding fail over (and more) and subtracting the vacuum system while driving my existing STEC autopilot. Remember, you still have the option to build as you go. What seems to me is often lost in the rush to point out that a G5 is required; the additional functionality you have gained for your money. It's not like an STC 'fee' that gets you nothing more than a cover charge at a bar!
  18. Well done with good documentation. It occurs to me that you are in a good position to duplicate the test using just a couple of old blankets thrown over the cowling and compare the results for us...
  19. Thank you David. I now have this copy and I am ready to pass it on the the next in line. @hammdo? I would also be happy to scan this to a PDF, but it is copyrighted, and I don't know if I would be running afoul of those that care... Would the copyright pass to Coys' estate? Is there anyone here that could answer this? Thanks!
  20. I looked around for the installation doc and couldn't find it. Thanks. My yoke is like yours. This is a good, and probably best, solution with two issues the way I see it. 1: The trim switch. It sounds like section 3.2 call out a specific 'rocker' type? It infers a specific part number. (is this included?) Would it be possible to mount it on a plate like this, or would two separate (one for up one for down) switches acceptable under section 3.2? 2: Like many people, I put a tablet between the yoke horns like kpaul above. Bottom line is it's a real bummer modern yokes are hard to find and $$$. Looks like I might even have to consider getting a field approval. Thanks all.
  21. Can someone--perhaps @Bradp--speak to this? I'm struggling to find a requirement to locate these on the yoke. Here is the problem: with a stock 67 C yoke it's impossible to do... I have looked at the FAR's (and STC's as far as I can) to locate the requirement. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be shown the regulation, but haven't found it yet.
