    I live on a 3000’, one-way, grass strip. My limits for the Mooney at 15 kts max tailwind on landing and 10 kts max tailwind on takeoff. The Mooney eats up a lot of runway with a tailwind. For my Citabria it’s 10 kts max for tailwind for takeoff and landing. Lee

    Don’t mean to hijack this thread, but I need to order donuts for my ‘92J. Anybody got a good source? Lee

    The AV20 is less than $1,000 and is a Very easy install if it’s just a backup AI. 2 hour install. Another 2 hours if you want OAT and TAS. As already mentioned the Av30 is good too and has battery backup up. Lee

    I just removed my kap150 and had the gfc500 with g5 and yaw damper installed. It was around $20-21k. Lee

    You might try Ricky Gilmer in Pell City, Al. kPLR. I do t have his number handy, but the FBO will Know. @Hank may have soms thoughts too. lee

    I did an AV30c in my Citabria and it took about 4 hours for the AI. DG/HSI took a couple hours max because I ran wires for both when doing th AI. Lee.

    I’ve use a black and decker workmate for years as a bead breaker. Lee https://www.acehardware.com/departments/tools/tools-storage-and-organization/work-benches/21321?store=07479&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhLKUBhDiARIsAMaTLnFb7vV-QhZ58N0GiVNn5fuJFhQHRq4Oib7uxYbuXe7rIvYUgtXOYhcaArpsEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

    The KG-258 Attitude indicator is sold so the package price has been reduced to $2,500. Guys, I've upgraded to a GFC 500 and removed the KAP-150 from my '92 M20J. Autopilot controller, Attitude Indicator, and servos were all working fine when removed. I have these on ebay KC-191 Controller $2,200 KG-258 Attitude Indicator $300 KS-177, 178, 179, $750 each. However, I will sell the entire package for $2,500 if anyone is interested. These are great spares if you are keeping your KAP-150. PM me if you have questions, Lee

    For me it’s, power up (all lever forward) pitch up - 8 degrees gear up flaps up cowl flaps open I trim during the process as necessary. Lee

    I sent my 530W in last year for sticky buttons and fading screen. It came back looking, and working like a new unit. I believe the 530 repair was around $2k. Lee

    A trip to Aeromotors will fix that noise. Lee

    I believe it took me about 6 hours, including removing the seats for better access, pinning the connector, and wiring. Lee

    Do you have the autopilot set to HDG or NAV? It needs to be on NAV. The HSI hdg bug needs to be set on the GPS course. My KAP-150 tracks perfectly without any tweaking. Lee

    I love the av30’s. Low cost and stupid easy install. I have them in my Citabria (G3X in the Mooney). Lee

    I recently did this too. Just made new rails out of stock aluminum plate. Don’t remember the material thickness though. Lee

    I recently had Terry Gerber of KC Headsets repair an issue with one of my older Bose X headsets. The service was excellent. Once he received the headset he evaluated the unit and then called me about what needed repairing and the cost. All in was less then $200. I highly recommend Terry for headset repairs. KC Headsets terry Gerber sales@kcheadsets.com phone: (816) 835-4575 We really need a “sticky site” to store these comments for future reference. Or do we already have one? lee

    I had the same problem last week with a new SD card in my GTN650. Lee

    I don’t know how to edit these posts, but wanted to add that this video was taken on my shake down flight and the airspeed and slip-skid ball had not been adjusted to match other instruments. Adjustment is simple. Lee

    IMG_1536.MOV I have an AV-30C as an attitude indicator in my Citabria and it works great. Installation is minimal; I did it in a day and I’m slow. A lot of my install time was removing and re-installing the front seat. Attached video shows the unit in action. Lee

    I used Kelly a couple of years ago. Good service and turn around time. No issues with the mag. Lee

    A few years ago at about 1,500 hours I want to replace the spring in my ‘92 J. I had the the plessey actuator and I couldn’t find a spring. I ended up buying a used Eaton actuator and sending it to laser for overhaul. This is an expensive way to replace the spring! Lee
