    @ basically $3k avg for just the kit, you’d have to sell 34 sets just to pay for the STC, can’t see that happening. Hoping Jose recovers - strokes are no joke... -Don

    Spar Splice is in front of the rear seat, middle of the floor. Just where folks spill drinks in the back ;o)

    Well, mag was 3 weeks out so gonna wait for that. Everything else is done! Picking her up tomorrow - can't wait! Gonna test her out. I have a gopro and will see if I can get audio later. Fun! -Don

    I know how you feel and I also use 2350/18 while training so I could get used to the coms... after my G5 gets installed- back to ifr training for me! love the blogs ;o) -Don

    Really sorry to read you were hit... 6 weeks would be a tough hit... Maybe Pain and Suffering => new ifr package? -Don

    Wheel wells, spar for signs of corrosion. Have him remove the belly pans and ck the stub spar (for the flaps) for any cracks: spar splice cap for corrosion: fuel leaks (fuel senders, wheel well, fill tanks and look for seeping rivets on wing walk) control rods rusting, fuel selector/drain, gear donuts/disks open all panels for sure, look for guide blocks wearing on the controls in empennage.. congrats on the plane! I have a ‘66 ;o) -Don

    Things are rollin’ along! Discussed with the shop about my right mag - It’s past the 500 hr limit and, while I’ve had 0 issues, the only way to know it’s condition is to send it out for inspection. We’re doing that now while the avionics are getting done. One less thing to do at annual ;o) -Don

    My setup is gnc355=> G5 Kx155 => 209 Independent system setup for me ;o) -Don

    My install is in progress! -Don
  12. hammdo
    GNC355 with normal spacing - can upgrade later for 8.33 if needed. Kept the VOR/LOC 155 as my airport still has ILS/LOC and if I need to get down, and the gps has any interruption, I’m still good. G5 DG/HSI, updated StormScope, and LHS are getting installed right now. Hopefully TruTrak is a go this year — if not G5 AI will go in... -Don

    Finally, she is at Commerce to get the G5 DG/HSI, updated StormScope, and the LHS installed! Will probably take a week but she will be a capable plane! Edge is also Trutrak dealer and they have Pipers lined up for them. Ugh... Where's mine ;o) Plan is to get the second G5 later this year and see where Trutrak goes. She's flying great... -Don

    Mitchell's are working great not one issue so far... -Don

    I enjoy mine and how the GTN interface simplified ops... -Don

    It's practically melted already... :o) -Don

    Now that the worst of the weather is behind us, plane goes in next Wednesday for the avionics upgrade. I'll go out this weekend and hope to fly Saturday and Sunday. Can't wait! -Don

    I nominated BobCW be Christen ‘Carusoam II’! Great detailed list - and bullet points! Don

    Steaks? John Q’s in Cleveland — believe it or not... lots of good places but that place, for me, was memorable... Rare to Medium rare... ummm.... not sure if it’s even open anymore.... -Don

    VRT (Adams Polishes) or you can use any tire dressing from any auto parts store. It helps with all the drying out of rubber and keeps them in good shape. I also use it on any rubber items exposed... -Don

    I bought a whole working unit with tray and all on eBay — backlight works too! $495 total. Mine still works (great during the day) but, I fly @ night so wanted the back light. -Don
  22. hammdo
    I will! Once the weather breaks and my G5 install is done, I’ll want to test the RNAV approach ;o) -Don

    Basic Med is done! I've still applied for my 3rd class medical but this will allow me to legally fly while I wait for the 'covid' delay ;o). This will be the last 3rd class unless the something new comes up (that will be up to me to keep the health/exercises/dr visits current each year). Plan is next week for G5 and LHS -- hoping the weather cooperates ;o) -Don

    You beat me to it! -Don

    Fried chicken, chicken fried chicken, chicken fried steak - Babe’s for sure in DFW area (Also called Bubba’s in Dallas - Not Bubbas 33). -Don
