Gotta love Garmin and their product tactics…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I spent gazmillions with Garmin previously, doing a dual GPS setup with an MX20 and then a GMX200. This combined with autopilot / altitude preselect , stormscope and XM weather and HSI setup prior to G5/GI275s being a thing. This was before I bought a Paint and Avionics shop… Adjusted for...

Preeeecisely. My pump was 90/91…. Now let me go back and get indoctrinated by NPR….that’s where I go for all my news. they say the laptop was Russian misinformation and that hookers peed on Trump in Russia…(swoon) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmmm Colin Powell was intellectually questionable and Bush and his VP were as well for sending many of us in under the justification they claimed. While using WMD as the excuse to go in was weak sauce, saying that WMD’s weren’t there was and is factually incorrect. This isn’t classified...

Affordable isn’t affordable at all :) Leading edge has become untenable as they’re a monopoly and expensive. There are a couple of guys in el monte Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tend to paint customer’s and prospect’s single chips or scratches with Matterhorn white at no cost when they come by as a courtesy. We are in SoCal. I have both Imron and Jetglo. Once feathered it can be sanded and polished for blend. Voila. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I contacted AOPA regarding an at risk airport and another that became privately leased. To say their reaction and understanding of the situation was….underwhelming. Their handling of the Santa Monica airport situation, starting with their lack of knowledge of the evolution of the problem...

Hmmm Customer had transmit issues…brought it in….audio panel bad. Replaced and problems went away. Customer had transmit issues…last IA removed antenna connection to remove the belly pan, didnt reattach. Customer has transmit issues …coax cable has become chafed and the core was compromised...

Meh. I installed a 650 in my M20K. We last installed an Avidyne in a Lance behind some Dynon HDX’s. I could buy a flying 4 seater for the difference in price without losing a gram of functionality. Garmin just charges highway robbery prices. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ugh. Switches? Really?? One way we help save customers a little scratch is by simplicity of installs. And we can still afford inn-n-out Burger after we invoice customers and fly them back to their home airport. Check out the little PMA 4000. All of the Veronica Aguilera audio without any...

Took me 2 days to get to this point: full Avidyne install from scratch (no previous Garmin rack), audio panel, 3 monitor install (engine monitor in plane), ADSB, transponder and com2. Notice the traffic is shown, and the compass rose / magenta bug show the GPS / NAV are charting each other up...

Hmmm nah. I had a “budget conscious” first time airplane owner that dropped by our now busy little paint shop to have his Cherokee redressed. Nice man. I’d even call him a friend now. An avionics shop down the street sold him a used 430 takeout with no 8130 and indicator. The cost...

Lol - my first Mooney about 39 years ago had a “thorough” pre buy and the very reputable San Diego FBO missed a cracked engine case. A P51, “reputable” mechanic who had gone to test pilot school in Van Nuys replaced an overhauled engine on an airplane of mine and only hand tightened the spark...

I think you’re exactly on the right track. Save for the added engine, the 310 would eat you out of house and home - fuel consumption for those 2 nice engines would be uuuuffffff. The F model is a mid body with a nice performance curve - basically an unclean J model, which is as good as it...

Thanks for catching my encore miss - at 75k, there are no encores in that ballpark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been in working dog sports for nearly 2 decades. Flown more dogs into K model than I can count :) This means I have a couple dozen aluminum dog crates (impact, kaloskell, airborne, east coast, ray Allen), some folding, that I can sell for those that fly “motivated” dogs. Hit me up by PM...

Sounds like the Tesla of aviation headsets. I’ll pass Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bonanzas are never cheap - and depending on model you’re lugging around extra seats and paying far more for fuel. Whyyyy???? My Cessnas are currently overpriced and about to enter the market for that reason with fresh paint, upholstery and modern avionics. 200k for a 182? What ever. 210...

This all came to a head with the knucklehead who ran Snapchat. As is typical of dot coms and startups, the little snowflake helicopter pilot CEO wanted some cool office space. Protesters were already swirling, but Snapchat interests funded the nimby’s heavily during the Obama years...
