Bartman Posted December 12, 2017 Report Posted December 12, 2017 I admitted my Aluminum Mistress to the hospital for scheduled procedures today. Treatment will include excision of the 430W and transplant a new IFD 440. We will also remove this tumor called the KT76A and implant the remote mounted AXP 322. Although some have objections about 978 only it meets my needs, so she gets a new Skytrax 100 as well and put the Stratus 2s to the side. I'm tired of charging it and worrying about cables and battery life. Can't wait until she is discharged and we to see how she performs with these upgrades along with the IFD 100 app. I also have an itch for an from the 700 to the EDM 900 at annual in February.
MIm20c Posted December 12, 2017 Report Posted December 12, 2017 Very exciting, please take pictures of the carnage. I’ve been eyeing the 440 if only for the updated interface and WiFi. Great choice.
N201MKTurbo Posted December 13, 2017 Report Posted December 13, 2017 I have a IFD550 and a Skytrax 100 and I still use the Stratus. It sees more traffic than the Skytrax. Just plug it into the front of the Avidyne to charge it.
N201MKTurbo Posted December 13, 2017 Report Posted December 13, 2017 If you are having them connect the audio alerts from the Avidyne to the audio panel make sure you hook it to a switched input. That woman will not shut up. She is going to make me crash one of these days! You would think if the radio is smart enough to tell the transponder that I'm on the ground it would be smart enough to tell the traffic lady that we are on the ground and that the airplanes in the pattern are not going to crash into us! It is wonderful trying to practice approaches at the local stack. There is always another plane 500 ft above and 500 ft below flying holds the same as you are. It is just part of flying with modern avionics, trying to concentrate on your flying while hearing a constant TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC............. 1
Bartman Posted December 13, 2017 Author Report Posted December 13, 2017 Yes Rich I took your advice. I actually had two special requests. I need a 3.5mm female audio port mounted in the panel for my Bluetooth dongle, and a switch to put a sock in Betty's mouth.
