Agreed. I went with remote transponder, but put in a PS Engineering 450B audio panel. One reason is the remote audio panel took up a lot of space on the 750 display.

With ADSB the N number is transmitted by the transponder. You can change the N number sent to a call sign, like a Compassion or Fore Flight. In fact you need to do that if using a call sign. If some one is changing back and forth between call sign and N number, they can make a mistake Without ADSB the transponder sends the 4 digit code and the altitude. The ATC computer resolves the 4 digit code to an N number. WHen the controller enters the N number for that code, you can get an error.

The question that can't be answered was how big with the orders that had each one made? We know the latest ones was an order of 25, but unless the one from Maxwell was also a small order, the prices can't be compared directly.

My thoughts exactly. I might like one coffee mug, but even then I have enough mugs to use a different one every day of the month.

What does something like this cost?

This stuff is pretty amazing. https://solderit.com/screw-grab-liquid-0-5-oz-carded-for-stripped-screws-all-screw-heads-sg-94/?srsltid=AfmBOoq_0Vk5QYs72a_0JHBoCY93QqmqbcUMJHtTVJ9eL004HyspxOCq I knew this guy from shows and he could round out Philips so there was almost smooth and a drop of this and the screwdriver would grab.

That is why I want at least 1 GPS and at least one VOR/LOC (preferably with DME) and TWO comms. What I have is 4x GPS (750, 650, G3X internal, iPad), 2x com and 2x VOR/LOC (750 and 650). And I plan on installing the new Garmin DME which gives me both DME for the VOR/LOC and also, once they release the 750 update, DME/DME navigation.

While 3D print file is great for other people.... For one off, I would have hit the nearest plastic shop for a scrap of 3/16" plastic. A Dremel and 15 minutes would have one.

And exactly how does this get signed off in an certified airplane?

NX was the very old way to ID experimental. There was also NC (Commercial) and NR (Restricted) in those days. From AI: An "NX" tail number indicates that a US-registered aircraft is an older, amateur-built aircraft that is an antique, and it allows for the aircraft to display a smaller "NX" registration instead of the "Experimental" placard. While the FAA no longer issues new "NX" prefixes, this designation is still applicable to qualifying older aircraft. The actual registration number is a standard "N" number (e.g., N123TX), but the "NX" is applied to the aircraft's markings to signify its experimental, antique status. What NX means for an aircraft For amateur-built aircraft: It is used on amateur-built aircraft that meet the criteria of having an external configuration of an aircraft built at least 30 years ago. Replaces "Experimental": The "NX" prefix is a special mark for antique aircraft that allows the owner to use "NX" in place of the larger "Experimental" placard that is typically required on experimental aircraft. Paperwork vs. markings: The "X" is not part of the actual registration number on the aircraft's certificate. The paperwork will show a standard N-number (e.g., N123TX), but the owner applies "NX" to the tail of the aircraft.

I don't have a tailwheel endorsement, but that is because I am grandfathered. One perk of being old. I have seen that program and thought it looked like fun. Even though I am qualified to fly tailwheel, and even own one, I have thought about doing that course. I really liked the idea of training to the WW2 syllabus

From what I recall from the times and reading various things over the past couple of years, that was the issue. It was OK, but needed some tweaks to make it better (a bit more power) and Porsche bailed.

3 inch would also be perfect, one seat hole back when you adjust.

FYI, the price of the PucSavers does NOT include the 3 bottle jacks. They do not include them as they said (at MooneyMAX) that it would cost more to ship than to run to the nearest Harbor Freight and just buy them

And housing costs

Well, part of the issue is in the 90s, they removed fuel and food from the index. WTF?!

That looks pretty simple to make out of a flat piece of plastic. Most cities have a plastics store to buy the raw materials. Most can probably make it for you if you take them the part. Remembering that it is a part for your race car.

But the primary has VHF nav. It would be very unusual to have BOTH a GPS System problem AND a Nav 1 failure at the same time. So a GTN primary with a 355 GPC/Com as second is not a bad setup.

Taildraggers rule

They changed how the cut was made, leading to the overheating at the edge of the hole. Original setup was to start the cut inside the hole, the spiral out to the final cut. Somehow it got changed to start at the edge.

You can always run a tank dry and see how much fuel to start seeing it. In my M20K 252, if I can see fuel, I have at least 7.5 gallons. Which is fine by me as I am not taking off with under 7.5 gallons.

IT can be the photo cell. I had the issue with the 297 altitude select. I think had an avionics shop replace the photo cell. IIRC it was Sarasota Avionics, the one at Sarasota.

Yeap, prices double for most everything, and the CPI goes up by single digits. REALLY????

My Dad told the story of him doing an NDB approach in an SNB (Navy Beech 18). The procedure was to fly over the NDB, configure, go outbound on a course, turn to the inbound course, all while descended. So he comes out of the null over the NDB and drops the gear and flaps, and gets the null. So he cleans up to go missed, and he comes out of the null. He did this a couple of times to figure out that with the gear and flaps down, his TAS was lower than the windspeed and he was going backwards.

FYI Grumman/American AA-1 series are similar with fuel in tubular spar from root to tip. Fuel gauges are clear tubes in the wing roots. Very accurate.
