Marauder Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 Older instrument panels can be refreshed. Don Kaye has photo evidence of how it can be done in a Bravo. How's my memory on this one? Keeping Score: (1) get long body. (2) get STC for 310 HP. (3) sell off old panel, replace with new WAAS capable, GPSS steered, JPI digital magic. (4) paint to perfection. (5) enjoy... Sorry if I dreamed out loud... Best regards, -a- You're only missing one ingredient... About $100,000 to make it all a reality. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

Sorry if I dreamed out loud... Hmmm . . . I missed out on #1, so #2 won't work. The previous owner did the early 2000's version of #3; the owner before him did #4. That leaves me #5, a pretty good place to be! But it does leave me the expensive part, performing #1 on a plane already equipped for #2. But first, to sell a house . . . then convince the wife that double the fuel flow is a good idea. Ohhhh, that 100k.... Only a few more hours of overtime.... How many engineers get paid overtime? I am an engineer. I get paid, usually on time; if the paycheck will arrive overtime, I can get by for another few days but don't hold onto it for too much extra time . . . that will eat into my avgas fund! Meanwhile, what was this thread about? I got distracted, and need a drool rag. 1 Quote
