Lowbid Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 I am near the Twin Cities and have spoken to RCA Avionics. Does anybody have any experience with Avionics shops toward Madison, Milwaukee or Chicago? Quote

Sabremech Posted September 23, 2012 Report Posted September 23, 2012 I've had very good service with the Avionics Place in Rockford IL. Good shop with good people. Quote
Jeff_S Posted September 23, 2012 Report Posted September 23, 2012 I know this is MN and not WI, but the prior owner of my plane had its panel extensively redone at Park Rapids Avionics in Park Rapids MN. The panel looks great and has worked well for me, and I know he goes there for all his work. Something to consider. Quote
1970m20e Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 My Century HSI 360 is not working anymore. The Obs needle never goes anywhere, the glide slope never worked and the clutch to adjust the heading now barely works. The heading bug does work and sends the heading corrections to my autopilot. I had my avionics technician take it out and sent it to a replair facility. They said it's not repairable and it's not even worth a core value. $0. How does a $10,000 instrument not have any repair option? They did say they could sell me a refurbished unit for $3,500 and they would waive the evaulation fee. I need options here for another repair facility. The Gyro spins and as far as I can tell most of it works it just doesn't receive or recognize the navigation signals. Please help. I am not going to buy a $10,000 instrument or as the avionics technician wants to sell me a new flat panel Aspen. No Money!!! Sorry that's crazy money on a $50,000 airplane. Quote
gjkirsch Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 If you want to come across the lake, Mayday at GRR is not bad to work with. Quote
wiguy Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 There is a full service Garmin shop at the Waukesha airport, Skycom I think. I bought a used Castleberry attitude gyro from them, very happy with it. Some planes may not rate an $18,000 panel makeover, as mine. In most cases one can get by with piecemeal upgrades, depending on the type of flying being done. Quote
