Didn't they just get the magnetometer certified ? How much does this thing precess without a magnetometer...just asking ?

I wish all my problems were this simple :-).

Amended maybe ?

If I recall, FlightAware uses data from private citizens with ADS-B receivers connected to the internet to populate much of the information we see. I know that there is a receiver at my home airport sending data to FlightAware. Our nearest ADS-B tower is about 20 miles away. At 1000' AGL, the...

I agree that there needs to be an affordable, battery powered ads-b out transponder that can easily be used in nordo aircraft. We already have handhelds for com and vor nav. Also, having ads-b in with voice alerts really helps...you can keep your eyes outside the aircraft. ForeFlight...

You need a solid state voltage regulator for 14 volts dc that can handle a minimum load of about 10 amps. A dropping resistor theoretically only works properly if the current draw is constant. The radio draws very little current in receive, on transmit several amps.

Your ADS-B Out sends a hex code that is specific to your airplane. If you go to the faa aircraft registry it will show your hex code. The easiest way to check is to submit a PAPR. Google PAPR, fill it out online and get results in a few minutes. If it shows your correct N number and aircraft...

Radium on dials....mercury in the anti gravity reactor..:-)

We might be old, but we know the difference between to, too, and two :) Sow, their ewe haveit !

I don't think it would have made any difference in this situation since the Cub was NORDO. ADS-B only helps eliminate midairs if the pilot(s) have ADS-B In and Out and have audible alerts in the event of traffic conflicts. I added Bluetooth to my audio panel to do just that. It really helps...

A 70cm rig only needs a 6.8" quarter wave vertical antenna. I would use a handheld on that band. Now..I prefer doing cw with a 20 meter rig when flying :-)

The non waas gns430 installation manual does not make any reference to a morse decoder....the gns430w does.

Sometimes we LOOK, but we don't SEE. It is really easy to be flying a tight pattern and focus your attention on the runway and miss another plane entering the pattern. Accidents like this are very sad.

Ask Bob Lazar to show me how to make a really cool flying machine :-)

Do you have access to a tailwheel airplane...planning to purchase one ?

That is the problem...there is a lot to do while in Reno....not so much in "the middle of nowhere ."

Question: Does the GPS175 communicate with ForeFlight as it does with Garmin Pilot ?

You can purchase a reclaim canister and save the R12..then put it back into the system.

I have found several bad wires using my ohm meter set to megohms. Sometimes the arcing forms a carbon trail that will show up as a high resistance short. Nothing wrong with using a high voltage tester, but I prefer to test with my meter first....then follow up with whatever is necessary. Most...

Makes me hurt just to think about it...damn !
