  1. I have not found that to be the case with my QC25's. Mine work with a dead battery. Just no ANR. I find that the passive noise reduction matches my DC's My complaint is if you forget to turn them off the battery runs down. I wish they had auto off. Also the QC25's are lighter than the 35's. It is easy to replace the battery on the 25's in flight while the 35's have rechargeable battery so I do not know how you recharge them in flight. The 25's are out of production but there are some NOS on ebay. I purchased mine from the Bose Outlet store (refurb) for about $125 a few years ago
  2. I have the older Q25's and UflyMike's Love them. Very light weight and do a great job of noise cancellation. I already had the Q25's, Like you for Commercial flights and they are great while mowing the yard. So for $250 bucks I decided to go with the UflyMike's. I looked at both UflyMike and the NflightMic at oshkosh several years ago. I like the UflyMikes better. Just the way they attached to the headset. When you pull the UflyMike off the headset it is back to original condition, where the NflightMic attached to the side of the headset with velcro. The UflyMike just looked like a cleaner install. The only difference between the QC25's and the QC35's are the 35's are bluetooth and the 25's are not. But the 35's loose the bluetooth option when you plug in the Mic's from what I understand.
  3. Does not help, still overheats without the case on. my Iphone XR and Ipad both overheated today.
  4. I have the 7th Gen Ipad (non cell), with both Garmin Pilot and FltPlan Go. A GDL 39 3D provides the gps signal to the Ipad. I also have the Aera 660 on the yoke. Along with an Iphone XR that will hotspot with the Ipad. Everything works well when it is not hot down here in Texas, but most of the time it is hot. I use the Ipad for flight planning and then using connext, the ipad will send the flt plan over to the 660 and the panel mount GPS175.
  5. Ok, now there is a new Tailbeacon, This one will be Satellite Based and will be a Mode S ES transponder. This could also explain why the AV30 is taking a little longer to get certifiedhttps://uavionix.com/tailbeaconx-launch/
  6. Garmin is going to announce these on Wednesday but I found this link tonight https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/719027/pn/010-GI275-00
  7. I own a 73RG Cardinal, along with a 68FG Cardinal. I wanted to purchase a C model Mooney, but the better Half was used to the large doors on the 68FG. I told her that the Mooney was much faster than the 68FG and we could be there 30 to 45 minutes sooner. She said that the comfort was more important for napping so I found the 73RG Cardinal and now I am faster than the 68FG and a little slower than the C. What I learned about the Cardinal RG was if looking for one get the latest year model you can find. The early 71 and 72 model have a dragger cowl and electronic down locks actuators. The 73 Cardinals got Hydraulic downlock actuators. The electronic down locks are costly to overhaul, and the Hydraulic's just have a few o rings. I have had the 73RG for a year now and am really liking it. But a nice Mooney taxi's by and it still snaps my neck.
  8. corrupted mine also, If they are going to go in and fix that I wish they would allow the 660's logbook to be uploaded to fly.garmin like Garmin Pilot does.
  9. Does anybody know if the AV-30 will have Glideslope and CDI indicators to be use with the GPS175 for an LPV approach?
  10. They already have that, it is called a GTN635 GPS/COMM
  11. Just a lurker here, "I have a Cessna Cardinal, drooling over a Mooney" One thing in common between the Cardinal and the Mooney's are wet wings. My 68 Cardinal has only leaked from the fuel sender's gasket and the rest of the Cardinal fleet seldom report leaking fuel tank's. Now that is not to say that some in the fleet have not had wing tank leaks but they are the exception not the rule. Both Mooney's and Cardinal's wing flex in flight, but the Cardinal's landing gear are not attached to wing's where the Mooney's are. " just trying to find a correlation between leaks and weak landing pucks"
  12. Back a number of years ago, the late Russell Stallings then owner of Southwest Texas Aviation had looked at that F over in Lockhart. He stated then that it would cost more to put in the air then what he could part it out for. A number of people have talked to the owner about buying it. One of the "old guys" that man the FBO on the weekends "a prior mooney owner" would pull it out and wash it down, and keep the air up in the tire's even offered to run it around the pattern from time to time to keep it going but the owner wanted none of that. So it sits and draws the curiosity of visitors..
  13. On a positive note, it is not a V tail Bonanza with magnesium ruddervators
  14. Someday, I hope to build out there. I have lot 14, got it before the taxiways were built.
