  1. This is really nice and thought out! Thank you for sharing this. This will go along way toward 450 dollar oil changes... Freddy ——————————————— Airplane: 1997 Ovation, 280HP, Garmin GTN750, GI275, factory air Aviation Reviews: https://www.toointeresting.com/wordpress/?page_id=174
  2. I've basically forgotten about it...it is one of those things I do not track much. Just to clarify...What I cited above was ALWAYS in GPS mode....I would not expect superimposed visual guidance for anything but in GPS mode. At the time, most of what I used had GPS approaches... ——————————————— Airplane: 1997 Ovation, 280HP, Garmin GTN750, GI275, factory air Aviation Reviews: https://www.toointeresting.com/wordpress/?page_id=174
  3. +1 for battery life...I never was too impressed with Mini 6 on this. Not sure they increase size or efficiency on Mini 7? ——————————————— Airplane: 1997 Ovation, 280HP, Garmin GTN750, GI275, factory air Aviation Reviews: https://www.toointeresting.com/wordpress/?page_id=174
  4. Hi Everyone, I finally got around to purchasing a High Boost Switch as my "plastic" came back with broken tabs after a service (still works but its very clunky). Anyway, wanted to ask if people found these easy to switch out or whether they were knuckle busters and better left to the shop to do. Did some searches and turned up nothing so I thought I'd ask. Thoughts? Thank you Freddy ——————————————— Airplane: 1997 Ovation, 280HP, Garmin GTN750, GI275, factory air Aviation Reviews: https://www.toointeresting.com/wordpress/?page_id=174
  5. I'm probably going to go ahead and upgrade...my 6 is a bit short on storage! Thank for the legwork Skip! ——————————————— Airplane: 1997 Ovation, 280HP, Garmin GTN750, GI275, factory air Aviation Reviews: https://www.toointeresting.com/wordpress/?page_id=174
  6. Do you guys know for a fact that the 7 will fit in the 6 Yoke mount? It took forever to get my mount for the 6... ——————————————— Airplane: 1997 Ovation, 280HP, Garmin GTN750, GI275, factory air Aviation Reviews: https://www.toointeresting.com/wordpress/?page_id=174
  7. Still not clear as file posted above has expired...Anyone know where the board is that supports Low Boost for M20R? I've learned to live w/o it but still do not like broken things and my annual is coming up fast!

  8. All I can say is WOW! What I could do with an extra 250 lbs...:) ——————————————— Airplane: 1997 Ovation, 280HP, Garmin GTN750, GI275, factory air Aviation Reviews: https://www.toointeresting.com/wordpress/?page_id=174
  9. I am wondering what the typical useful loads are of the M20S? I'm sitting at 958 and have air conditioning and O2.... ——————————————— Airplane: 1997 Ovation, 280HP, Garmin GTN750, GI275, factory air Aviation Reviews: https://www.toointeresting.com/wordpress/?page_id=174
  10. Hey Guys, Trying to troubleshoot a master switch issue (switch wont turn off load). I'm looking for 800304 R7. The switch does actuate relays because I can hear it do so but prefer not to spend hours when a schematic can save alot of time. I have a downloaded service manual but mostly see annunciator fuel sensing and a few other (no main ship power distribution/control). Thank you. Freddy
  11. I used to feel that way until I went through one battery very quickly (wow, it did not last long considering its only a few months old!). Peace of mind is almost priceless in my mind!
  12. Wow...that is a tiny alternator! Seems like adding a backup would work! Thank you! Freddy
  13. Hey Everyone, Was wondering if this combination was possible? I think I am finally past my alternator issue but it caused me lots of grey hair and would like a backup solution. I understand the alternator is installed on the accessory pad but I also have an air conditioning compressor there. Those of you that know, please comment! Freddy
  14. I dont have engine parameters other than fuel flow (no temps but no issues at cruise). Yes, I do have air conditioning but almost never need it above 8,000.
  15. I'm going on about 2 years post installation. It was daunting to get them setup and dialed in but now, I really really like them. I have vertical tracking capability with autopilot flying ILS and RNAV approaches which to me is the bomb. I'm still working on optimization of a few items (redundancy of mag for both 275's as an example which will give me heading if I have an electrical loss).
