    give these guys a call, they really took care of me : Horizon Avionics – Horizon Avionics Blog

    depends on what you already have and your goals. the kx165 is a perfectly serviceable nav/comm and why bother paying for that functionality, the gnc215 doesn't do anything better. as for the 420, no, i'd def upgrade that to something newer. 355/375/even 175. I wouldn't bother with dual vors so no 650/750 either

    you have a leak, find the leaky seal/boot/hose
  4. McMooney
    thinkng about it a bit further, i'd keep the kx155 / cdi combo, the gnc215 is just spending money for moneys sake and the 650 you'd just be paying for vor func you already have and wont' use anyway. Only reason i ever use the VOR's is to practice an ILS approach. heck how about replacing the transponder with a gnx375 , which would keep all functionality, get you adsb-in/out and work really well with the dynon

    Just keep the king radio and cdi with vor/gs. No changes necc. or if you really want it integrated, swap the 355 for a 650xi, which will approx cost the same as a 355 + 215

    what is this pressure test

    just buy the plane you want now, save yourself the headache. mooney, esp c-j aren't esp more difficult to fly then a 172, arrow, archer whatever, plus you'll have all that time in the plane with a cfi right next to you.

    the value is really in the data and integrations they have, i could probably build you something really really close to foreflight for a few million. 100M budget would probably get you something seriously next level. 100Mill i think i'd be able to finish my Assisted reality Istrument panel

    I"ll have to check, my surefly also installed on the right is going on 400ish hours, no issues. i'd expect some issues to pop up on a new piece of kit.

    how's the EarthX working for you? My battery is going on 6 years old, getting about time to replace it.

    my step somehow fell off the plane 8). it was a fixed step

    I should get my yoke clock fixed, it's missing a knob and no longer ticks. Never actually plan on using it but, i like it for some reason.

    Does yoru 430/530 count ? My gns480 clock counted for the IR checkride

    I'm having it done by my IA, unfortuantely ran out of aviation funds this annual so waiting towards the end of the year

    apple, get cellular, only way to get the built in gps. you don't have to enable the cell service. I tend to use my mini as the cell connection makes it ultra convenient. My Air has a gps connection but the lack of cell plan means it really just stays in the bag.

    if they offered xm with a music sub at close to the car price, i'd be in but it's too expensive for this weekend warriors plane. I tend to avoid situations where i would need either for realtime weather
  17. McMooney
    My ipads have cellular, so the combination of fis-b and cell coverage pretty much keeps me current. No need for xm.

    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
  19. McMooney
    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
  22. McMooney
    what is PPP
  23. McMooney
    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
  24. McMooney
    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
  25. McMooney
    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
