same for mine, not easy to open thte thing when you want, if it comes open after being properly latched, something probably took half the plane with it

I latch the thing and check when getting in the plane, never had an issue.

My girl also has strobes on the tips and tail. Also, i'm another that leaves the beacon on perm.

yes, you can run either/or/both. I was planning to remove my beacon but ended up replacing it with with a redbaron. Aveo Redbaron XP Galactica LED Anticollision - Certified | Aircraft Spruce

not really necc

if i remember right, you can probably just buy a new one for the price of an overhaul

if the planes are in equal condition, I'd buy the dynon plane. Buy the plane ready to fly not ready for the shop. Dynon and g3x are about a wash and now that dynon has an AP STC for the K, not much you'd be missing. My buddy has a dynon connected to a gtn650 and it is the snazziiest thing ever.

doesn't sound to far out there, without the fuel pump and pitot heat, everything being led, i really could imagine my plane being under 8 amps, even while transmitting. think the fluke and i have a date at the hangar

second this, it's just nice having a standalone device.

pencil is pretty useless in the plane, so much faster and easier to write in a notebook. Now at home when flight planning or putzing it's KINDA useful. is nice to be able to work on e-forms with it. oh yeah, kids love using the pencil to draw.

connecting things isn't overly difficult, the g5 system is mostly connected with a number of 2 wire busses, can, arinc and serial. i had the whole thign wired up onmy bench in less than an hour. now snaking all that wire thru the plane while making sure it's all white and indistinguishable, thats the money maker. I really like the dynon setup, mostly a bunch off preconfigured 9 pin dsub connections between the dynon components,. oh yeah and they have the mounting shelves so most of it can go in as a unit

McDonalds, water, gatorade, coffee, Gatorade Bottle, tablets with movies/games, oxygen( seriously this is a big plus even flying at 7/8k ) tneres alwasy tools, oil, airplane stuff

most capable are the gi 275s, they can be primary for everything, meaning you can take everything else out of the panel. In your case, you could potentially get 3x gi 275s, ai, hsi, eis and remove Everything else except for the annunciators and buttons basically. I'd recommend Alex, Horizon Avionics@KTYS, knoxville They installed a new GNC355A for me in 4 days, and wasn't horribly priced. Great work, haven't had an issue with it

My Mini is mounted up high on the center bar, up near the ceiling, only thing it blocks is the unreadable thermometer. how do you have it mounted, mine isn't any bigger than the yoke.

what did you order, i just specc'd the ipad mini 7 with 256gb cellular and it came to 749 if the battery life is better than my mini 6, which is probably impossible that' it's not, i'm real interested
