300AS

Thank you both for some great input!

I'm sure this topic has been covered, but I couldn't find a thread... The pitch on my KAP 150 is going bad (pitches up for no reason and won't pitch down to capture a glideslope). I'm not sure if it's the unit or a servo. Can someone please recommend a shop that can troubleshot and repair the box and/or the servos? I'm in SC, so would prefer somewhere in the SE.

I just went through this, starting with almost the exact same panel as yours. $35k in avionics later, it' s amazing. The entire portion of the panel in front of the copilot seat is now blank and ready for an ipad mini mount. The center stack is dominated by the GTN 750 with the new PS engineering 8000BT sitting above that, and the old #2 KX155 nav/com and old KAP 150 autopilot below it. I opted to put in the Garmin ADS-B remote mount, so it's controlled by the GTN and frees up panel space. I removed the old ADF, old GPS, old Com 1, old intercom, old KNS 80 rnav, old transponder, and old am/fm stereo. I moved the vacuum attitude indicator to the old adf indicator hole and put in a new G5 front and center. The new panel is so excellent and I got 12 extra pounds of useful with all of those old, heavy radios removed. Bonus! Good luck with your decisions.

Sorry for the lack of info. I'm requesting for a friend. Yes, the door closes and latches and is airworthy. He will be flying to central Florida for about 10 days in January and is hoping to have it looked at/repaired while he is down. He has a 1978 M20J. The door half of the hinge is broken and will need to be replaced. The plane half of the hinge is intact and an A/P looked at it and thinks that part of the hinge is airworthy (hopefully precluding the necessity to pull down the interior trim and work on the fuselage). The exterior skin of the door is creased parallel to the hinge at the point where the interior skin curves to form a 'flange'. It's looks like a good candidate for possible repair in lieu of replacement. Thanks for any suggestions.

Folks, Can anyone recommend a shop in Florida, GA, or SC that can look at and hopefully repair a baggage door with a crease along the hinge line ('78 M20J). Baggage door popped open on takeoff..... could have been worse. Thanks for your suggestions. JS
