    I wouldn't for a huge amount. I said people did that back before Aspens. Because they didn't want to keep overhauling their NSD360's. It might still be an option as people pull them out for upgrades.

    Back before Aspen a lot of Century HSI's were replaced with Sandel EHSI.

    Before startup it's a good idea to check the voltage on each battery. If one is dead it's a no-go.

    Well . . . after further consideration . . . looking after Sureflight's work on the Mooney 205 and their website and since it's 136 nm away, it definitely looks like they have the expertise to do it. It's nice to have options but it's nice to have the work semi-local.

    If you do a search of "articulating seat" you'll find that Mooney sells them for $3500 each for the frame, you add the upholstery. They usually sell used for around $2000 each, you add the upholstery. The used ones seem to go fast for that price.

    Wow nice job. That's going to be a beautiful J.

    Unfortunately some early 252's did not have two alternators since it was an option. The single alternator 252's have a reputation for eating up batteries pretty often. Scroll down to the highlighted portion of this pdf for K model alternator comments: M20K PRE-BUY highlighted.pdf

    That might be a Don Maxwell job.

    Ah, thanks for that . . the string will stay.

    Final follow up (hopefully) . . . after looking over the relay that I pulled, it was definitely burned. So when the new relays came in I replaced both relays for a grand total of $43.68 with tax and shipping and everything works great now . . and yes I'm replacing the tied up string with a zip tie and yes there's a black plastic cover that goes over the relays.

    How did I know that was going to be the case . . lol?

    Bob I'm a little disappointed, with that beautiful interior you need to get that tow bar powder coated : )

    Congrats on your E! It's always a good idea to post pictures so people can see what they are getting. Also you have the exact same ad posted 4 times. You might delete the other three ads.

    The way the FAA recently caved in at Santa Monica CA probably made this closure easier. How about if they build the replacement airport first, then close this airport?

    The Redline sidewinder is the best I've owned. I've had a Robotow, a Minimax (absolutely worthless IMO), a gas powered tug, and an electric Nose Dragger,

    On January 1, 2020 ABD-B out will be mandatory for most. ABD-B in is very nice to have but not mandatory. It's ADS-B out that triggers the ground station to rebroadcast. Is your AXP340 hooked up to a WAAS GPS?
  18. LANCECASPER
    If you have a certified WAAS position source (like an IFD440 or an IFD540) coming into the AXP340, you want the AXP340 to transmit that you have ADS-B OUT capability. Looking at flight aware it doesn't look like you are transmitting ADS-B out.

    At the MAPA convention last October Tom Bowen said that they were selling one airplane per month.

    Their homepage is not coming up, but individual pages come up. http://www.avidyne.com/products/ifd/ifd550.html

    Follow up. There are two relays for the flap actuator, one that controls the up circuit, one that control the down circuit. I swapped relays and got the flaps up and now the down circuit doesn't work so it must mean that the one relay is bad. I ordered two new relays since they are both the same age. I'll find out for sure when I put them in. For once there's actually a cheap part for an airplane. http://www.alliedelec.com/schneider-electric-magnecraft-w67rcsx-3/70184966/

    My flaps (M20M) would not retract after takeoff on Thursday. I came back and landed and no movement trying to get them up. They would move further down and are now stuck in the full down position. I pulled off the belly pan and located the micro switches (up limit and down limit) . They were very clean but I hit them with contact cleaner. Still nothing. I tried wiggling the flaps with the switch on to see if that did anything . . nothing. I am suspecting either a bad relay on the up circuit or a bad switch in the cockpit. Any other ideas I'm missing?

    Ok let's say they follow your advice. For grins let's say that an item that sells for $10,000 costs them $2000. They now make a gross profit of $8000. Lets say they sell 50 units per month ($400,000 gross profit). But now they cut the price by 50% and sell twice as many. They now sell it for $5000 and make $3000 each but they sell 100 units a month ($300,000 gross profit). They sell twice as many, have twice the paperwork to do, twice the warranty exposure and make $100,000 less. Bad business model.

    Here's what Simpson Bennett from Avidyne mentioned on January 25, 2017 on the Avidyne Forum: We've been out of major flight testing for a while. Our recent flights were with the FAA designated pilot. Waiting on some reports from that and responses on other items we have submitted. Hope to have some answers and a more accurate idea of when we can expect an overall approval soon. Simpson Bennett Avidyne Corporation Product Manager
