  1. What paperwork do I need when purchasing used avionics? Looking at KI525A HSI as an example? Do I need a 8130? Yellow tag? Is there an STC I need to find? Thank You! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Hmm.. I like your way of thinking. I’ve seen some of Alan's FB advert posts but does he keep a website of available stock? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. How many hours to install the G5? With the GA-30 antenna the G5 becomes WAAS certified? So can I then fly the LPV approaches independent to my non-WAAS 530? And would I be legal with just one G5 as the AI to do that? Thinking ahead to future IFR options.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. It seems like everyone’s favorite past time is spending other people's money so I thought I’d offer more of it. The AI died today. The DG is fine and the LO/HI vacuum lights aren’t lit so it doesn’t look like a vacuum pump issue. With that, looks like I'm in the market for an AI. I don’t have an AP, the plane has a 530 non-waas. For a CB, which I’ll be proud to admit to, what are my options? Looking to start on IFR soon.. Overhaul the existing AI? Cost roughly? Would a AV-30C dance with the non-WAAS 530? G5, does keeping it in the Garmin family provide any benefits? GL275 seems expensive and over the top, does it work with the 530? Got a very tight budget, was not planning on doing avionics upgrade for another year or two… ugh but here we go. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. Any tips on where to find these fancy washers? LASAR has them for $0.10/ea but their shipping is crazy. Buy $5 worth of washers and pay $25 in shipping. The CB in me says that’s “nuts” (not a wash for a washer) Someone mentioned Amazon, search using “Chicago washer”? But they are not SS? Rust issues? TIA! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. It protrudes about 5mm so it’s a bit thicker at the roll cage than Bruce's way. Will have to see if the extra 2mm makes a difference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. Designed and 3D printed some holders. Has 3M VSB in the middle to attach to the frame, the backside has dual lock and zip ties embedded for extra strength. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Thank You! Very smart and agree, screw-less is the way to go! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. So it’s a flat plastic strip that gets zip tied to the tube and the dual lock fastener is applied to the strip? So where do the flat strips come from? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Very cool! Thank You!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. What is a “dual lock fastener” on the panels that jaeger advertises? Is it a Velcro system, or some clips that hook onto the tubes or? If you have this and can take pictures, would greatly appreciate it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. Was that 5yds for both seats and headliner or just seats? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. How many square feet of material should I budget for new seats and interior? Trying to get ultraleather quotes but have no clue how much I would need. TIA! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. I’m confused with the core exchange system. Looking to exchange the Dukes 4140-00-19A but AeroMotors says $450 for exchange and Weldon is $888 +400 for core. What does that mean? You pay $1288 and get $400 back? Or you get $888 back? If so, wouldn’t the Dukes be a better deal at only $450? Or am I reading this wrong? TIA! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Why is it that going higher, more expensive and complex is the holy grail? Why not refresh the 201, try to lower the price point rather than increase it, build in volume like Cirrus rather than going for a niche. Where did the Mooney that built thousands of airframes go?
  16. Appreciate everyone’s feedback! I’m sure at least a few of you have done an interior refurb, like a headliner replacement on your own? If I may, where did you get the approved material from? Any suggestions or recommendations for where to shop? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. Does interior refurbishment need a a&p sign off? If looking to replace for example head liner, what materials is acceptable to use? Is there an aviation only approved fabric or can anything be used? What have other folks used? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Building a sim cockpit, but hoping for some help on measurements. For the Mooney, what’s the height of the yoke tube from the floor? How high is the seat from the floor? Rough numbers are ok. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. My understanding is that the engine has been run for a total of 6 hours in the last 4 years.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. How would you value this with needing a major overhaul, rundown interior, original radios, no adsb and wing tanks needing reseal. Prop is good and paint is good. What’s a fair market value? TYIA Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. Gorgeous panel! Can you share the cost of the new gizmos and the cost of installation? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
