  1. As part of my overhaul, the cylinders, magnetos and starter will be replaced. Should I expect the old parts to be returned to me for future use if needed? If so, do I specifically need to ask for this to happen or is that the ordinary course?
  2. I interpreted the silence as a hearty endorsement for my provisional pick, the NIU KQi2 Pro. https://shop.niu.com/products/niu-electric-kick-scooter-kqi2-pro Will let you know how it turns out.
  3. And this from the website of the developer of Avare: "Compatibility Below is an incomplete list of external GPS & ADSB devices known to be compatible with Avare. Most standardized devices work well with Avare, but this list of tested devices may be helpful to review for choosing a device. Many other devices beyond those listed below that are designed using industry standards might work perfectly with Avare but have not yet been reported or tested. Please contact us if you’d like us to add to the list a device you know is compatible. OEMs are also invited to contact us about adding their devices. Note that this list may be out of date, and vendors may change their hardware designs making them incompatible. External GPS/ADSB known to Compatible with Avare Stratux open source receiver (Port 4000) Stratus (Recent) receivers may work Dual XGPS-170 & XGPS-150 iLevil SW Lynx NGT-9000 Freeflight Systems FDL-978-XVR (Panel installed) Freeflight Systems Explorer- Skyradar DX" Guess I could have done a better job of researching before I started this thread. Thanks anyway for all of the useful suggestions.
  4. Thanks everyone. Found this from Garmin: "From Garmin: Thank you for contacting Garmin International. The GTX 345 ADS-B weather and traffic data is only able to be displayed on the Garmin Pilot and Foreflight Mobile apps. AVARE does not currently hold a licensing agreement nor the capability to display Garmin data within their app. The only option you have for Android-based devices is the Garmin Pilot app (ForeFlight is not currently Android-capable). We provide you with a 1 month free trial upon download, then our app starts at $79.99 USD/year. Best Regards, Garmin Aviation Support" In this Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/apps4av-forum/c/A6TlMrzjeRs So that may be that. Gotta love Google . . . even if it is monopolistic.
  5. So I don't use Foreflight or Garmin Pilot on my tablet and phone. Instead I use Avare, which is free. But I am beginning to think that Avare just cannot talk to Garmin's 345r, which is fine I guess.
  6. Any recommendations for a foldable electric kick scooter? Any to avoid?
  7. It is connected to my G1000. So I get traffic on my G1000 MFD. I get whether on the MFD via XM. Thought it would be nice to also get the ADS-B info on a tablet so that I would have two different sources of weather -- XM on the MFD and ADS-B on the tablet.
  8. Recently had to replace my remote transponder, a Garmin GTX 345r. The new unit pairs with my phone and tablet but will not connect to either. Don't know if the old unit had the same issue as I never tried to connect anything to it via Bluetooth. Any ideas?
  9. A long time. Think I placed an order with Air Power in April or May. Never really got comfort that Continental was producing any cylinders for the IO-550-G, but then six of them showed up at Air Power.
  10. Got a call from Air Power during Oshkosh saying they had six new cylinder assemblies available. Bought them on the way home and will be starting overhaul at Western Skyways soon!
  11. For that matter, not clear when factory new cylinders for the IO-550-G will be available.
  12. Starting to look into an overhaul for my IO-550-G. Some shops have said they won't even quote or commence an overhaul because the cylinders (I think the part no. is 655474) are not available and they don't really know when they will become available. Has anyone else encountered this? Any advice?
  13. Got a Golden Retriever puppy. He is going to be pretty big. Anyone here fly with their large dogs? How's it go? Do you put them in the back seat? How do you get them on and off?
  14. Could make your first stop at KAEG -- Double Eagle, Albuquerque. Then skirt just south of the Rockies.
  15. Thanks! I Should have searched for this first!
  16. Flying from SoCal to Aspen this weekend. Any words of wisdom?
  17. The part about the wrist watches? I figured that sales of the other single engine high performance retractable was the more relevant data point.
  18. How many people is that?
  19. Anyone going? This will be my first time. Tips and recommendations would be appreciated!
  20. See you in Madison!
  21. Me too. Both tanks. Hangs up at exactly 30 gallons for good while, then starts reading accurately again.
  22. 1. Mixture rich 2. Throttle in about one inch 3. Low boost 15 seconds, then off 4. Crank ignition and pray 5. Throttle back quickly to 1000 rpm after it catches
  23. Got someone's voice-mail. But whose? And will they know whether 4V1 has fuel? Thanks.
  24. Can anyone confirm there is avgas at this field? Fltplan.com says no, skyvector.com says yes. Thanks.
  25. Pete, would you say you bounced because you touched down going too fast and the plane wasn't done flying, or did you bleed off the speed too high above the ground and drop it in? Was it the speed or the high flare?
