LANCECASPER

Your statement is completely false. Please get your facts straight before you make a comment on something you know nothing about. Since you own neither a G500 nor any Avidyne product your posts are long on theory complete devoid of fact. The G500 update was released after the Avidyne 10.2 update was complete and submitted for FAA approval. This was before it was approved and released, since it takes several months for this to happen. Once it is submitted there is no provision for revising it. While 10.2 was in the approval process the new G500 software was released. It would have been impossible to test 10.2 before it was submitted with the new Garmin software because Garmin hadn't released it yet. The avionics shop of the one who originally posted took a software combination that had never been confirmed compatible and installed it in a customer's airplane - that's where the problem is. Once again, I'm sure Avidyne is working on this and when 10.2.1 is released then they will let everyone know that's it's safe to update to the new G500 Software.

Avidyne has 1st class tech support. Before the IFD550 was approved Avidyne had a special for IFD540 owners to upgrade, which I did and swapped out myself. Zero install costs and a new warranty. I had to get my configurations right so that it talked to my traffic and weather so I called in this morning for the first time to Avidyne Tech Support. I never look forward to calling tech support in any company. To my surprise, a human, Jack Musgrave, answered on the second ring and asked me how my day was going. He could not possibly have been more helpful or have had a better attitude. He went into the lab and put the configurations in on the same setup I have and made sure before we were done that everything was working properly. He thanked me for calling and said that it makes his day so much better when he gets to talk to customers out in the field and that they learn so much by the way people are using these units. I already knew that Avidyne was a great company but this further confirmed it. I have no doubt that Avidyne will sort through the software upgrades that they and Garmin have made and will get the unit that this post is about talking to the new software version of the G500. Moving forward I think this post is a good lesson to all of us that have multiple boxes in the panel, whether the same or different brands, that we want to confirm compatibility before we allow anyone to do a software upgrade on any box. Garmin is a good company too, and to be honest once you finally do get through their phone system and wait on hold and end up talking to a person they are very competent as well, but whatever Avidyne is doing to keep people live Jack Musgrave motivated to do his job is working. I am really looking forward to the synthetic vision that Avidyne has on the IFD550. Also the redundancy of having another attitude reference to check. This is something that no one else offers on their GPS/NAV/COM.

And the 10% coupon is worth $1500 when you see what they are planning to charge.

That's an ingenious design, simple but effective.

The pictures are great resolution, makes it easy to see the flaws in the paint job. If the painter is going to take on a complicated paint design, he needs to be able to do it. No way should the one who paid for this have accepted it that way. Cutting corners puts up a red flag for me. If you're going to do something, do it right.

It's probably the Seller's friend shill bidding. http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/seller-shill-bidding.html He's had bids before which would have won the auction and then look a week or two later it's back up for sale.

Good job

The Gloss White is pretty much an exact match for the "Really White:" factory color. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/aircraftcoatings.php?clickkey=456519&PANEL=292Click%2BHere%2Bfor%2BSlick%2BStyle%252FabrA%2BHREF%253D This primer in green is a good choice: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/aircraftcoatings.php?clickkey=456519&PANEL=292Click%2BHere%2Bfor%2BSlick%2BStyle%252FabrA%2BHREF%253D

The search feature on Mooneyspace is your friend:

Now if only Peter would work on his

You're kidding right? 2500 under market price and it's from Indonesia and the most expensive thing he's ever sold is 99 cents and he's never sold any avionics before and it's brand new and never been installed? Keep looking, you'll never see this one. Ebay will probably send you a message soon saying that the transaction has been canceled. Gullible buyers is what keeps people like this scamming.

Is that the price you are sharing with your wife? 2 Aspens including EA100, JPI 900, Sandia 340, L-3 Lynx, PMA 450A (upgrade from 8000B), Avidyne 440 (upgrade from 430W), Garmin GNC Navcom Yes 40 is North of 25, just like Canada is North of Mexico. . lol

If someone on here copies the "Bravo" script on their wing they owe this seller a royalty and each of us an apology.

Haha . . i get it. He should be sued, subjected to a Mooneyspace tribunal and perhaps even tortured for picking the most common Mooney paint scheme since 2000.

The color choices may be nice and may complement the lines of the Mooney, but if you look at the details it looks like a shoddy job. Here's an example (notice how the design on the tail is jagged and does not follow a smooth arc like it should): Painting "Bravo" on the wing in a cursive font is just plain tacky. If it was mine, that would be the first thing that came off.

We already know that no one was willing to bid $100,000 due to the questionable history. http://www.ebay.com/itm/93-MOONEY-TLS-BRAVO-1700-TT-CHEAP-DEAL-OF-THE-CENTURY-/122537932027?hash=item1c87d474fb:g:j~QAAOSwt5hYf~Q0&vxp=mtr Now he's trying to get someone to bid $110,000 or higher. http://www.ebay.com/itm/93-MOONEY-TLS-BRAVO-1700-TT-/122557722381?hash=item1c89026f0d:g:j~QAAOSwt5hYf~Q0&vxp=mtr With the extensive damage history, unproven repairs and shady pricing all over the map the price should be considerably South of $100,000 for it to make sense.

Usually if they let you do some of the labor they only charge 25% more

Ah that's right I forgot, all people from Omaha are clueless and none of them run for-profit businesses. Oh, hang on, isn't Warren Buffett from Omaha?

The only way I would even consider buying it is if Don Maxwell did a thorough pre-buy. If it was me I'd want Don to go pick it up and fly it to his shop so he could find the things you only find when flying the airplane. No question, an M20M with TKS should go for more than that, but my guess is that there is a reason that no one has bought it yet, including pilots and brokers with decades of experience. If it was such a great deal, by now it would have been snatched up. A hard question to ask yourself sometimes is what makes me any smarter than all of them put together? Is it really a good deal, since someday you will sell it and all of the history will be available to the next buyer? Be careful that this doesn't happen: "When a man with some money meets a man with some experience, the two shall exchange. The man with the money will end up with the experience. The man with the experience will end up with the money." All that being said, if Don Maxwell gives it a clean bill of health, go for it.

This is from the install manual: "The AXP340 uses a simple setup system to program important system parameters, including the Mode S address. In the original factory configuration, the setup screen is the first thing that runs when you switch on the transponder. If the transponder has already been configured, and you want to access the setup screen again, simply press the FUNC button while switching on the transponder and the setup system will run." Then later on after setting up other menu items you get to this: "In the USA there are two ADS-B channels, 1090ES and UAT, and there is an ADS-B based traffic information service called TIS-B. The ADS-B ground stations relay this information between the two channels so that suitably equipped aircraft can receive traffic information. To limit channel congestion these services are only provided to aircraft equipped to receive them. The transponder reports what receivers are installed in a periodic status message. If the aircraft has ADSB in receiver, set either 1090ES or UAT to installed. There are two selections to make here: 1090 MHz Receiver Installed – Yes/No, and UAT Receiver Installed – Yes/No. Press selector knob to move to the next menu item."

This is a great example of the capability of the 231 with an intercooler and merlyn wastegate:

If your battery is a Gill battery and it's been in there awhile, you probably need a new battery. Switch to Concorde 24-15M for much better service.

The infinite settings on the electric cowl flaps are great on late J, K models (252 and Encore) and M models . . until the cowl flap motor goes. I think the motors are more readily available than when I was trying back in '14.

It wouldn't hurt to read these over:

Is there any echo in here . . lol? The 28 volt electrical system was also a nice upgrade on the 252's from the 231's.
