Older thread but just submitted payment upgrading my 450 to a 450B cant wait for it to come in. Chase @Avionics Source is awesome to deal with!

I think I would still opt for an iPad instead. Much more versatile, update-able, and cheaper and can connect to most of the new GPS units to give you the info you need in flight. I know not a direct comparison and depends on what your doing.

I agree 3-4 is my limit if I stop for fuel, unless I can make it to my destination in 5 then I will choose not to stop for fuel. But if I have to stop no matter what I will split 4 hour intervals

87J with a UL of 933 after a scale weigh 6 weeeks ago, issue I run into is without bladders and being a wet wing I don’t like putting the plane away without full fuel. So that’s 549# available. I’m also a bigger guy 250# and about 50# of flight bag and gear I carry leaves 249# left. Which fits 95% of my missions are 1 or 2 people. Killer is my SN is only a couple shy away from the GW increase to 2900# so that blew but I have never had a load issue. On the other hand I knew an ovation with that by the time it was full of TKS and fuel it had a 200# load. That would be useless and I don’t think that plane ever flew under GW to be honest.

Dropped off early Sept 2019 picked up first week of April. So 7 months.

Just got my plane back from Joe 3 weeks ago, curious how yours turns out.

Without the 510 the Bluetooth will only talk to garmin pilot or fltplan. Need the 510 to connect to foreflight.

So I just cut the check with my shop for my light panel overhaul. Adding dual G5's, a GNC255 and a GTX345r to connect to my GTN650 as well as a flight stream 210. With the announcement today I am curious if I should just ditch the 345r and get the new GNX375 for a second GPS nav, transponder, weather, and traffic. As well as just then getting the flight stream 510. Not clear on what the main differences are yet, mainly will the 375 connect to foreflight? Online it only says garmin pilot and fltplan Thoughts?

Still waiting on J...……..

Love my CGR's in my 87, still learning the LOP procedure and it seems a bit touchy with some false readings if you lean to fast.

My AP came back today everything is ordered for install but through his research he found the KAP100 uses the run coordinator for roll steering so we will be removing the DG, and AI but keeping the T/S. How do I verify if the KAP100 really uses the T/S or the AI as its been mentioned a couple times here. I trust my AP but others here said its the AI that the system needs.

Brian, Will try this, I normal use 2600RPM for all other stages of flight and it never moves regardless of climb, cruise, or decent. Will set it to 2700 and check but so far I have only ever had it happen on takeoff.

How would a phone app verify RPM? Other question is would this even be noticeable on an analog gauge, I only notice it because its digital and flashes red, but on an analog is 40RPM even a noticeable mark

Verify what Yetti?

Hey guys, Just curious I have noticed lately on takeoff my RPM will go into the redzone, I have a CGR-30P engine monitor for RPM and on takeoff once airspeed gains the RPM will go to 2740RPM. I just twist the prop back a bit to get it back to 2700RPM. Just wondering if this is a concern? Could it be due to cold weather flying making more power than standard? Thoughts? Thanks
