Looks like a Shadin Miniflo.

I called them and they reacted as though they had no idea and told me to call Precise Flight.

I have the Monroy tanks and an EDM-730 (which I just upgraded to an EDM-830). The EDM has fuel flow and the fuel capacity can be configured by the pilot in the factory setup menus. Mine was set by the prior owners to 93.0 gallons capacity, even though it actually has 94, I assume they had some sort of safety margin in mind. With fuel flow, and as long as I remember to tell the EDM whenever I add fuel to the tanks, I have found it to be very accurate. I personally think having four separate sensors for each of the main and long-range tanks would be overkill. And the way I gauge its accuracy is, based on how much fuel the JPI says I have, I estimate how many gallons it will take to top it off, read how many gallons I actually add off the pump, and those numbers are always within 1 or 2 gallons of each other.

I think I have the exact same switches. Do you know what size the speed brake cap is? That's the only one I haven't been able to cover, and the avionics shop didn't know either. P.S. Does "checklist" talk to the G500 TXi? P.P.S. What do you use CWS for now that you have a GFC 500? I had my shop map it to Garmin's Teligence and it works great.

This screams GTN 750! Slide the GNX 375 down underneath it and that would be a beautiful little radio stack. People are upgrading their "legacy" GTN 750s to GTN 750 Xi, so there is a relatively active used market that could nab you one for around $10,000. You could add dual G5s to the left side and be set for years until the money is there to go nuts with 10" screens and whatnot. Or GI 275 if you don't want to go without your flight director for the time being. But I do agree you should add an engine monitor pronto. If you're going to add a 10" screen later and you know you want to use the integrated engine monitor with that, then go with non-primary monitors as a stop-gap, like the EDM-830. Otherwise go primary and step up to an EDM-900, MVP-50, or CGR-30P/C combo. (The latter will lock you into round instruments, which you may or may not want when everything else is eventually going to be a slab of rectangular glass).

That's ok! Hover your mouse over my screen name to the left of this post. A little menu should pop up within a few seconds. Click "Message" and you're off to the races!

Extremely reliable. Instantaneous push to iPad of changes. I tap "activate" on the GTN 750's Direct To and within less than a second the iPad asks if I want to transfer the updated flight plan. Going the other way also happens in mere seconds. I update my charts using the 510's SD card function; I do not use Garmin Pilot.

ForeFlight's FBO tab often has airport restaurants listed.

Bumping a very old thread to ask: those with the JPI EDM-730/830 and a 201, what HP CONSTANT setting do you use? What MAP ADJUSTMENT do you use? What high battery and low battery settings do you use? (Mine seem to be random guesses by some prior installer.)

It concerns me that paint is first on your list after a ferry permit. IMO it should be last. Unless the plane will be kept outside and the paint is in such poor shape that it's providing no protection from corrosion, there are bigger fish to fry first. Plus your new paint is likely to get scratched and damaged during all the other work you have planned if you paint it first. Because it's been hangared, the current paint will probably look perfectly fine with a little elbow grease and a quality polish. Find what needs fixing first. Fix it. Then invest in extras and aesthetics. My 2 cents.

Might want to let @jgarrison know you're looking, I bought mine from him.

Anything longer than a local flight, I still monitor Guard too.

@mooneypilot recommended Western Aviation in Spokane. @Diesel 10 is based at Boeing Field, but he would have to tell you who performed the work.

"What is necessary is that you have a Garmin G5 or a Garmin GI 275 to provide the reference headings and altitudes to the autopilot." I thought G3X Touch can also drive the GFC 500, or no?

Fingers crossed for you!!

My plane grew a new antenna for a 406 upgrade and I haaaaaaate it. Every time I see it, it irritates me greatly. Damn thing better work if I crash!

@M20Doc

Mounted with a zip tie to the top of the "compass bar." I replaced my factory visors with Rosens so the center metal clips are no longer used by the visors. I stick the Sensorcon's hook bar into the remaining visor clips. Doesn't seem to bother the compass up there. It looks low in this photo but it is usually just below the headliner. Having it up there also helps remind me to turn it off when I shut down.

I will PM you.

I like your point here. I know a new pilot eagerly shopping for a plane but he told me he can’t pull the trigger unless he feels like he got a great deal. Must have “saved money” on it, negotiated well, got excess value, etc. As a result he’s talking himself into taking on projects and explaining to me how just because an engine has only flown 100 hours 20 years after overhaul and sat in a barn for the last decade doesn’t *necessarily* mean it’s bad, and also he can get it for $X less! I told him I think you have the wrong goals: you should be looking for the right airplane, not the best “value.” Even if you pay top dollar doing that you’ll still feel like you saved money if it rewards you with years of reliable, mostly trouble-free service. But he still wants the best “deal.”

I think Cygnet (better known for Beech dual yokes) makes some of the hardware for Garmin, not sure about CWS though.
