Quote: Parker_Woodruff Gary I found the one I was looking for. It's on Docket's Mooney M20S. http://www.mooneyspace.com/index.cfm?mainaction=memberdetails&member=15

Quote: docket I bought the whole deal from Flightprep about 15 months ago. It is a Fujitsu 1620 with a SSD. It also came with a bluetooth GPS that is remarkably efficient on batteries and worked well in sunlight. I enjoyed using it and one great feature was that the approach plates were georeferenced. I have stopped using it because I bought a Garmin 696 and had it panel mounted. If you are interested in the 1620/Flightprep deal PM me and make me an offer. I have the 1620, the GPS, the chargers, the cigarette lighter adapter plug and a Case for the unit. The laptop and screen are in new condition. I paid a crazy amount for it -- about $3,500.

Quote: Parker_Woodruff Hey Gary did your first registration (glayne) not work? I had the same issue with mine a while back...

Hello all...... I just returned from overseas and this is my first post. Forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place. A friend of mine is assisting me with working thru a panel upgrade and he recommended that I post it on here for comments and recommendations from folks on the forum. I just posted the pictures in the gallery but I think I figured how to get them in this thread. The first one is a proposed panel and the second is the panel now with one exception. I had the king transponder replaced with a Garmin 327 already. My lose plan is to install the Garmin 430 and delete one King radio. Lose the ADF and DME and keep the TCAD while trying to fit some kind of hand held XM/WX capability in the panel. I have another aircraft and fly other planes so portable is better for me. I am currently in TX but will move to FL soon and be doing most of my flying in South FL. I would ask the smart folks that have tackled such a project to comment and give me their thoughts. I am most interested in feasibility (will it fit?) and options or different units that may give the same capability. It appears that I can make this happen for about 15K and would probably like to keep it in that range. thanks Gary glayne@hawaii.edu N212WD
