  1. No, you cannot mix and max old and new Aspen systems. If you opt to go max then all units must be Aspen Max units. The max units are totally different, although they may look similar at a glance. Also to note, if you have the old Century Auto Pilot System, which uses the old fashion steam GYRO to drive the auto pilot --- My friend just got 2 Aspen Max 1000 units and going to remove and sell his Century III auto pilot system and attitude gyro. Also he is removing his last vacuum instrument and vacuum pump to get rid of the entire vacuum system. He says you can use the Aspen EA100 to drive the old legeacy system (he is doing that for now) until TruTrak get their STC for the Mooney. From there, he will remove the EA100 since the Aspens can drive the TruTrak autopilot system without the EA100. If you are interested in the unit and want to make arranagements for the Century / attitude Gyro --- send me a PM and I will rely it to him.

  3. Hi Chris could you let me know approximatley how much your shop is charging, I may have to consider going the same route.
  4. I am looking for a 78J door handle -- I need the square one -- -square at the base (not round) when the screw goes in. Or let me know a good place to look, if you have one for sale, send me a pic. Thanks.
  5. Hi Jerry 5TJ, Can you let me know who is providing you the 2 mil smooth coverage and about how much you are paying If you do not mind, provide hull coverage amount, TT flying / hours in Mooney type Thank you
  6. Based on Skytrax being a Freeflight unit, this unit will most likely be supported; especially, since Freeflight is not out of business like the Narworx MLB100. Overall, this makes me mad since the Avidyne Rep. suggested that we purchased the MLB 100, to earn our business and to keep us from buying a Garmin ADS-B solution. Now, we discovered in approximately 1 year from date of purchase that the MLB100 manufacturer was far less than an ethical Avidyne service partner and went out of business due to shady and bad affairs, law suites, and pressure from the FAA. So now another question to add on to the original posting... #11 Will there be any attempts to offer the MLB100 users the newer software level support or a transition upgrade path to the Skytrax unit?
  7. Received this feedback from a Avidyne user: The GTX345 (panel mounted) does send ADS-B to the Avidyne, but the GTX345R (remote) will not interfacecwith the Avidyne. I can’t speak to the new weather options, but the new Skytrax is the Freeflight receiver, not the Navworx.
  8. Scenarios: 1. We purchased the MLB100 with our Avidyne AXP 322 and IFD 540. 2. Also, we have a GDL39R being used with Garmin Pilot. 3. What we have noticed on the Garmin Pilot with a GDL-39 since around mid-2018, after the update, we now have access and can utilize the new FIS-B weather products are available such as the following: Lightning Turbulence Icing Cloud Tops Graphical AIRMET Center Weather Advisory 4. My question is since MLB unit is a NAVWORX unit and NAVWORX is out of business, will the MLB100 units receive any updates via Avidyne and/or any other 3rd party source that may take on these units. If no, then basically, we have invested into a product (that is only a couple of years old) that will not provide any current FIS-B functionality. OR 5. Will these new FIS-B WX products become available via a firmware update to the IFD 540? Now for another scenario 6. Will the Garmin GTX 345R work with the IFD540? This will allow us to remove both the AXP-322 and MLB100 and 1 unit in lieu of 2. 7. In addition to question #6 (if the 345R will work) will the newer ADS-B products be supported with the IFD unit? Overall it seems like the IFD unit will need a firmware update to support the newer ADS-B features since many of these features are consider map overlays that the end-user can toggle off and on. 8. Regardless if you fly with a Garmin GTN or Avidyne IFD series, why can't you have Winds aloft and FIS-B Radar displayed both at the same time? On the inexpensive Garmin Pilot app you can display both at the same time, but not on our $$,$$$ GPS units. 9. On the IFD100 will the newer FIS-B products be available? 10 What about the Skytrax 100? Is the the same operating system and different name? Is this a total different unit? and can any details be provided about the new ADS-B FIS-B products in regards of the Skytrax100 supporting these features? Sorry, I do not fly with Foreflight; although, I do have the Foreflight APP. Foreflight users are welcome to chime in just as long the points are related to this post. The same goes for Garmin GTN, Avidyne IFD users, and/or any other FIS-B equipment and application that is applicable. This posting is not about which unit is better or worst; however, the objective is to determine and/or gather information and functionality based on the details depicted within this posting. Thank you.
  9. Well --- the only way that we were able to pass the ADS-B test was not to use the IFD. Installed another antenna just for the GDL82 used the GPS on the GDL-82 and BOOM Everything passed without any issues.
  10. Well, I finally obtianed the answer. The IFD is not an approve GPS source for the GDL 82. The only method for this to work is to run another antenna and have the GDL 82 connected to that WAAS antenna without using the IFD for the GPS source. FYI the 327 transponder does not have any impact on this scenario.
  11. Need help with the particular scenario: IFD440 and GDL 82 Configured ADS+B G2 format SIL is failing almost at 100% on the ADS-B testEverything else passes without any issuess.On the ground, everything appears to check out. Let me know if I am missing anything.
  12. Hi can you let me know where you purchased the no-back spring.  My friend needs one for his 1978 M20J.

    Thanks.

      I ordered the kit from Mooney sadly. Lubbock Aero is my parts guy. It was around $1,000. It came with all the hardware needed except for shims. I also ordered a couple of shims sizes to make sure I had the parts on had. You might check with Lazar about their price. 

  13. Where is the (OAT) temperature in the Aspen ESV? The OAT is displayed in the normal (non ESV) view. Am I missing it? If I am not missing it, the OAT would be nice to see in the ESV display mode.
  14. LOL :-) always practice safe flying.
