Gotta love FCA. Cut corners anyway they can, and that starts with engineering and goes all the way through production and assembly. Likely got a deal on surplus bolts somewhere and they used them here to save $.01 per bolt. I recently had to work on a Fiat 500c - awful experience. Then I get...

Have you called some friends that work at avionics shops to get their input? If not, I would start there. Some of those guys are pretty street smart when it comes to stuff manufactures won't say/do. They have a way of maybe things work.

Spot on. I did a 337 to add 40 lbs of additional nose weights to significantly reduce the aft CG problem found in many a v35B's. This one had tip tanks and amazing what this did to affect loading. And you are right - it is a fast airplane. Those who know all you can do to a Bo are the ones who...

Who says you must have brand new? Plenty of KFC150/200, STEC, and Century 4/41/2000 units doing an awesome job every day. You can make the same argument for models belonging to Mooney, Beechcraft, Cirrus, Piper...

Go over to Beechtalk.com and look for a MENTOR in your area. They will fly you anytime.

Fltplan Go just released Garmin FlightStream support. Game changer in my book. If you have not used the app you don't know what you are missing. And the app is FREE.

Look beyond weather. Useful load is 2,000 pounds if I recall. Holds 200 gallons. If plane was full, about 1,200 pounds of fuel. Six people and "stuff"? Wonder if we had an over-gross or CG issue? Be curious what fuel records show and where pax were seated. What a tragedy for three...

They are not pulling the plug. They just want them off the market to sell GTN's. 1998 technology still serving the purpose 18 years later.

Welcome. NC is a great state to fly around. Mountains to oceans....doesn't get any better. Go download the free Garmin gtn trainer app. It's free in the apple App Store. You will be a gtn guru in no time. Blue Skies.

Airport closed Dec 1. No lights to activate. So very sad.

Get a term policy for xx years. Then cancel it when the kids are older. You no longer need. This is the lowest cost/best solution for you. Life ins is a huge profit maker. Whole and universal are total rip-off's.

Thought serious but backed out. You must install new probes and wiring per the STC. Stupid, but the STC requires this. You can run what you have - will work just fine. I was going to leave the steam gauges in as backup. Nothing else to do with that space so why remove the old? Can't flush...

VFR flying only? FLTPLAN Go is your best option. No need to pay for Foreflight or FlyQ. Or garmin pilot for that matter. Buy avgas with the savings.

FOUND, and at an awesome price. Thank you very much.

Looking for a SE-1076-1 model. Anyone parting something or have one in the hangar? I know I can get a new one from Spruce, but trying this first.

G36 is too heavy. Nice, but heavy. A36 heavy too but better than the G36. Give me an io-550 powered V35b or an F33. Put in additional nose weights if you have a CG issue. These planes are fast and a blast to fly.

Anything experimental. For sure not de Haviland, Beechcraft, Mooney, or Cirrus.

C172- is there a better ppl trainer? Forgiving and makes learning fun. PA28 - what a great and predictable IFR trainer. V35B or F33 Bonanza with a 550 in it - little speed racer. And so maneuverable. SR22-G6 - what an awesome X country plane. Turn on the AC and turn up the music. Carbon...

Do you have a Garmin FlightStream unit connected to your 430/530 or GTN that supports sharing panel data with your EFB? How important is this feature for you? Was your EFB app decision influenced by the support, or lack of, for flight transfer capability? As the 430/530 doesn't support...

Ralph, What data do you have supporting this?
