I have a GNS480 and md200 i'm interested in selling, haven't gotten around to ebaying it yet. think i'm looking to get about 6k for the pair, possibly throw in the gdl393d

I use the mini, mounted to the center bar, i keep an air in my bag as backup or really long trips to watch movies

I don't know about the continental diesel but the austro isn't overly complex. yes you have a turbo but you also have no ignition system, no plugs, wires, distributor etc... there will be tradeoffs no matter what we do but i'd accept a higher hp engine burning 75% of the fuel for a 150ish lb diff. also given more hp, thinking they could increase ul a bit to offset some.

wow, that's a damn shame, i should've downloaded them yesterday. anyone havve the drawings

what is PPP

if i'm remembering correctly, it may even be simpler then that, just don't go full throttle at sea level at 110 degs and you should be ok

I want there to be more than disorientation, these are professional pilots, this is literally the thing they get paid to do. between having a capable crew and aircraft, there has to be more to this story. the way that thing dropped i'd believe some sort of failure

I"m a gp user with a good deal of ff time, I think they feel about the same. originally I stuck with gp due to some equip only working with it but now, it just feels right. I tend to run on a mix of android/apple so there is that plus. If you have an issue and contact support, there is a really good chance they will ping you right back, really surprised me the time or two i've reported something

what happened with this, i could really use a few.

need a replacement brittain servo or new boot. looking online there are a number of servo's offered but they all have different part numbers and i'm not sure which is for Birdy. anyone know the part number, have a good servo or replacment boot ?

having 105 gallons, why not fly asia->europe->usa, no ferry tanks needed. hmm, maps, says that would probably be a few 1000 miles longer. honestly, have fun, i'd really love to do a trip like that

all my cars manuals read something to the affect of change the oil when the light comes on, atleast once per year. camaro, jeep and jaguar, actually the jag says every 12000 miles or something like that. my experience, modern automobile engines are fine at 100k, it's everything else that's starting to wear. suspensions, brakes, etc, interior finishes. Except for oil changes and tire rotations, i haven't had to have a car serviced in the last 20 years. actually that's a lie, lost the ignition coils on an older camaro at something like 125000 miles.

My recommendation, find someone close to you to maintain your bird. yes there are gotchas but really these old birds aren't that difficult to maintain.

close to 2000 on birdy, might have to give her an autopilot for her birthday

Garmin recommended the pack, it wasn't until i got in the plane that I realized safe taxi on the navigator is useless. I already have safe taxi and most everything else gps related on my tablet and phone.
