    Stratus 3 won’t show traffic on both ForeFlight and Garmin pilot

    I just checked here to verify my Stratux still talks to both my ipads running ForeFlight...they both see traffic as they have done in the past. So I would call support at Stratus.

    80 Years-old Cleveland Sectional chart

    Good to see an old chart ! Fan markers radiated a pretty wide signal..unlike our marker beacons. I wish I still had sectionals from the 1970's. Thanks for sharing.

    Adjustable-pitch vs. constant speed prop

    My Bonanza F35 has an electric prop. You can select manual or constant speed mode. Early Beech Roby props were on some aircraft...maybe Cardboard Connies...early Bellancas. They had a hand crank on the panel for changing pitch.

    legal to install a non tso EFIS ?

    For the $400 difference in price, I would go with certified AV-30 and remove the vacuum AI and Venturi...but that was not what you asked. The link I posted above does not pertain to just a nav com install.
