Cause you have to be an A&P to take 4 nuts off??

Was just in the TFR around cincinnati last Thursday. Was on IFR to I69...canceled about 10 miles out from air and landed without incident...although flying formation with some F16's would have been cool. ;)

Was just at KDKX last week for a night...$5 to tie down for the night, which was waved when I bought some fuel. Great folks at the FBO and great airport that is super convenient to Knoxville ($8 uber to downtown).

I purchased a PA28-180 for $25K (3700TT, 1900 since OH, IFR) about 3 months ago. Pre-buy ($700), 3 new tires ($850), Replaced a radio and altimeter ($3600), bought a cover and cowl plugs ($300), tie down is $37/month. Based on initial cost to own the plane ($32K) and the fixed and variable...

1967 PA28-180, Lycoming 0360-a4a Looking for recommendations, experiences, etc. Thanks.

Seems that is the trend in GA, to much for to little...but the freedom to fly isnt free!

Check out the prices for a panel mounted clock vs. the clock on your Iphone/Ipad or any other $20 clock/timer you could velcro to your panel...and my point being that the agency making the rules that only and A&P can install certain avionics is the same agency that says only a panel mounted...

Of course these rules are from an agency that says you have to have a clock mounted in your panel to fly IFR...and says if your plane has an "experimental" sticker on it, then you can do more panel stuff and still use the same airspace as the rest of the "Certified" planes...

Sent me a new unit. Slid it in last night and worked like a charm.

I called and explained the situation and the troubleshooting methods I used. The avionics tech was very helpful and agreed that the radio was probably bad. Was emailed a return shipment label within minutes and radio is on its way back. Pretty good customer service to this point.

Me too...need that second nav for a couple IFR trips I have coming up. Well, dont really "need" it, but would make navigating a little easier.

Not yet, figured I would go with who I bought it from first. My fear is they will want to have it worked on...I didnt buy a new one to have it worked on right out of the box. Hopefully Aircraft spruce will just replace with another unit. Will shall see.

Got a new MX170C from Aircraft Spruce. Pulled KX 175B out of NAV/Com 2 tray and slid new radio in...it powers up, but wont recieve or transmit on comm...and wont receive on NAV. Here is my troubleshooting... My com 1 is an older MX170C...so I took it out of the com 1 tray and put it in the...

KX175B slid right out...can it really be this easy?

Thats what I was thinking...the connections on the back are probably at least 40 years old on mine. Did you do anything to clean connectors before installing?

How hard to replace? From what I have read it looks super simple.

Looking for a slide in replacement. Anybody got anything they want to part with or (dare I ask) have an opinion on quality replacement options/suppliers? Thanks

I am sure that would help in locating a plane. Question, is it common for folks to buy a plane site unseen? That "feels" like a bad idea to me, but I am by no means an airplane evaluator...so other than cosmetics (which should be attainable from pictures), would a buyer really need to see the...

Thanks. Still looking for a plane, but want to have someone lined up.

looking to purchase piper Cherokee or Mooney and want to line up someone to do the pre buy. Any suggestions around SW Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky?
