    Paint colors and safety

    Not the cheapest or easiest to paint, but silver vases tend to reflect and sparkle….with metallic grime like red or other non green colors. There are some stunning jobs out with silver bade, I’ve see. With red, black and even champagne trim Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The end of Reno

    I vote for blaming Karen’s, virtue signaling, entitlement and keeping up with the joneses on IG and ugh….Fake book. :) why not move to the airport and shut it down to make it environmentally friendly? Truly be a radical, right? :)

    Paint colors and safety

    We paint airplanes every imaginable color. Candies? Pearls? Pinstripes and leafing? No problem! We are one of the few shops that enjoy doing custom paint with a close eye to weight and balance. That said, market demands are usually Matterhorn White with a couple of stripe colors, muted and...

    What is the most cost effective solution to ADSB out?

    That Garmin lobbied and convinced the government that airplanes were multiplying like rabbits and would soon fall out of the sky crashing thus making ADSB mandatory revolts my gut. That and the resulting intentional subsequent price in the cost of avionics combined with Garmin’s closed...

    Replacement Suggestions for King KX-155

    I Can install a new navcomm for you in about 2-3 hours depending on the complexity of your indicator. Some are super fast. HSI’s take quite a bit longer. The Longer time if your connector requires solder and shrink wrap versus crimp- some indicators are solder only. Sent from my iPhone...

    It's baack! The Raptor 2.0

    You want to believe in him and his innovation, but he’s such an arrogant and condescending lad that it’s hard to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    TKM has closed down

    Min Kao and Garmin kill another business under the guise of innovation. I know we all love to pay $13k for a navcom GPS or $4k for a plain navcom. Yay! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to transition from renting trainers to purchasing a larger plane?

    Airplanes are like girlfriends - I may love mine but she may be a nightmare for you. And you may or may not be able to afford her while I can. I just bought a little 1976 Cessna 150 for a genuinely paltry amount - I didn’t realize how affordable 4/5 gallons per hour are, and frankly if I did...

    Upholstery / interior re-do’s. Cost?

    My 4 seat Mooney is getting long in the tooth and I’m curious what people typically pay for interiors - be they leather or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Educate me on why this plane has not sold

    Oh my gawd - aren’t Teslas awesome? Quick - let Me go spend over $100k for an iPad on wheels…tell me that I don’t look and feel cool in it…drat! Now everyone wants to make $100k on a new car and truck, not just Tesla… I saw a single engine trainer, bad paint, run out, needed upholstery for...

    Educate me on why this plane has not sold

    You guys are cruel. I have a number of harnessed transponders on my shelf that would take less than an hour to install and check - couldn’t care about the existing wiring since running power, ground and double checking the antenna would take no time. Harnessing a transponder with encoder and...

    Talk me out of a Rotorway 162F

    I nearly bought two different ones. Ask yourself a question: Why is it that all the ones for sale tend to have been sitting a while, have very low flight time, and require tons of maintenance per hour flown?

    Need a plan

    You wiring the 750 yourself? I’d get an sl30 or tk56a below the 750…and two G5’s are fine. I just installed the same setup in my seneca

    What would you do

    The encoder was one of a million harnesses I did early on. I prefer the built on encoders, or the one with built in rs232’s like the Sandias or the little transcal’s. Teflex / 27259 milspec avionics wire comes in a zillion colors beyond boring white. I buy it off eBay cheaply at times when...

    What would you do

    Fantastic. I loathe avionics installation prices almost as much as Garmin margins. No matter how scary, people can tackle it :) I picked up a GTN650, a PMA8000BT, had an SL30, and a GTX345. I think it took me about two mornings and evenings to build this harness; the GtX had the plug...
