Don't get a plane with TKS and remove the TKS. You are taking what cost $30,000 to upgrade (Non-FIKI) and basically throwing it away. Also the TKS is your leading edge on the wing. The sheetmetal work alone to bring it back to original would be a huge cost. Just find another plane that doesn't have TKS.

I sold a Garmin 530W for $8200, a KT-76C for $900 and paid $13495 for the Avidyne IFD540 and AXP transponder combination, so I was out $4395 there. The two were plug and play with the wiring that I had. My avionics guy installed the wiring for the WAAS position source to the transponder and did all of the paperwork for $500. That took care of ABS-B out. I use the Garmin 796 and the GDL 39-3D that I already had for ADS-B in. The interface on the IFD540 is awesome - huge upgrade over the 1998 interface and resolution on the Garmin 530. I had planned on waiting but having the traffic you get by participating in ADS-B out is well worth it. I could have waited but I would also have missed out on the benefits for the waiting period. I agree that the weather on the ADS-B is adequate and you get NOTAMs which weren't available on XM.

Thanks for the good suggestion

You should be good to go. I'll PM you off line.

Concorde RG24-15 is the only way to go. They last 7-8 years. I use a batteryminder (s5 specific model for Concorde) with a y connector to keep them both charged and conditioned. The Gil batteries are a complete waste of money.

SOLD

Everything that is in the picture is included. No yoke mount. Works perfectly.

One of the few who has bought the 770 is happy: http://www.beechtalk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=107762

The depth of your WX-10 is 9.22 inches. - total weight is 7.7 pounds. The depth of the WX-950 is 11.46 inches including the backplate - total weight is 2.9 pounds. I am told that the same tray is used for both units, as you'll see in picture #2 of this random Ebay ad for a WX-10, so it should fit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3M-StormScope-WX-10A-/321759734847?hash=item4aea5fec3f&vxp=mtr

Back to our regularly scheduled program . . . Yes the WX-950 is still for sale

Looks good on the Aspen!

I have progressive and I have photochromatic which darken in the sunlight - both of these work fine. The book for my Avidyne IFD540 says to avoid the use of polarized sunglasses. Most of the moving maps have a coating on the screen so this washes out the light I guess.

I flew into an airport near League City TX (KSPX i think they called it - not there anymore) once about 14 years ago in a Piper Malibu Mirage. I was going to be there over the weekend and asked them to top it off. They called my cell phone an hours later to say that they were draining my tanks - that the new line guy had topped it off with Jet A. I'm glas they caught it. I am 99% sure I would have noticed it when I sumped the tanks during pre-flight. But ever since then I have been very diligent in making sure I wasn't misfueled.
