bmcconnaha Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 well, made the trek to the avionics shop a few days ago to drop the J off. @Baker Avionics is installing a whole slew of goodies for me. Dual G3X, 750, GFC500 with Yaw damper, remote 345, remote 35c audio panel, remote com unit and a Garmin EIS Also decided to go with a landing height system unit. Really looking forward to it. My old six pack knew it was on it way out. the AI failed about 45 days ago, and the day i took it to Grants Pass to drop it off, the HSI failed. looking forward to no more analog instruments. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can post some photos as I receive them. Also, if Instagram is your thing, they said they will share progress there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I got a Facebook membership to watch some Mooney videos… I can probably get an Instagram membership to see some good pics… I even (barely) remember when GenX meant I was too young…. -a- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone wants to see it in progress, Elijah posts videos daily on Instagram which is linked to our Facebook account and they post there as well. Follow us on FB and watch it. It's pretty fun! The plane is gutted currently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdaddie Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 2 minutes ago, Fly Boomer said: How long did you have to wait to get it in? Well, I made the deposit almost a year ago with a target date of October 2022. The Landon’s (Jeff, Kerry and the kids) are awesome people. The delay was due to me in part. I was willing to wait until they had the equipment in hand and had a spot for my airplane. I have a June 12th date “set in concrete.” Jeff has been great in keeping my old panel going by swapping one of his ADI and Nav radios into my plane at no cost. Lancaster is only about an hour’s flight away, which is nice. I’m also based in Los Angeles for Delta so I can stop by and “help” them on my drive home to the central valley. Dick Rutan and I think the SpaceShipOne program used them as they are close to Mojave. Dick responded to my email and vouched for the high quality of Jeff’s work. Bottom line is avionics shops are swamped. I got quotes from as far away as Florida but most of the shops made me feel like they were doing me a favor to possibly take $120k of my money. I’ve never felt this way at High Desert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
