    C120 Avionics Upgrades

    I'll have to go back and look through the paperwork. The Narco and ADF went in a long time ago, and it possibly was cut before then. Panel has been this way for 30 years easily. When the previous owner restored it in 2015 he didn't change the panel, just stripped it down and re-painted it.

    You still have to enter the altimeter reading manually.

    C120 Avionics Upgrades

    I didn’t cut the panel. The G5 slipped into the same hole as the old attitude indicator (see original photo in first post) and the airgizmos mount fit in the the place of the ADF and Narco Nav/Com.

    Sold Sigtronics Transcom - 2 Place - $50

    Pulled out of my C120. It works OK, but not great. When two headsets are plugged the squelch breaks very easily. It's hard to find a balance where it doesn't break and stay on or doesn't come on with voice. I'm not sure if there's something that can be adjusted with headset mics, or what, but I...

    C120 Avionics Upgrades

    I like to think I've kept the spirit of the panel while still adding capability. The new radio is amazing, and I love the new location of the new headset plugs. The lemos are super handy as well. I wired up everything for the Aera 660 and mounted the airgizmos mount, but I still haven't bought...

    Sold Narco MK12E Nav/Com with Glideslope Indicator - Price Drop!

    Someone on eBay asked if I would guarantee this is working for 30 days. I'm very confident in this unit being operational, but it's hard to guarantee something once it's left your hands. I told the buyer I'd take it back within 30 days if it was inspected by a repair shop and they wrote up what...

    Sold Narco MK12E Nav/Com with Glideslope Indicator - Price Drop!

    The “uses lots of juice” was relative because I had an old dying delco remy generator. Once I got the alternator that wasn’t an issue. The clarity I was referring to all got diagnosed out to the intercom, unshielded headset wiring, the beacon having a bad ground and my antenna having too many...

    Sold Narco MK12E Nav/Com with Glideslope Indicator - Price Drop!

    I didn’t have any issues with the nav/com. There was a little static with the old portable sigtronics intercom that was in the airplane when two headsets were plugged in. Nav/com operates perfectly.

    Continental 0-200D vs. Rotax 912 uls for Kitfox

    I've flown a couple foxes and I would go with the Rotax. If you can't afford the fuel injected or turbo version, you can always upgrade down the line. 914 is an awesome option. The extra weight of the O200 on the nose actually makes a big of difference, although the S7 SS has larger elevators...

    Favorite Oil Analysis?

    Yes. My airplane is new to me, it flew maybe 3 hours the last 5 years before I bought it. It also doesn't have an oil filter. I've flown it ~50 hours in the last 3 months and I'd like to watch the trends and see if it's producing significant metal or not. I'm expecting some elevated levels but...

    Favorite Oil Analysis?

    What do you guys like to use? Seems like quite a few different companies out there. Mike Busch always mentions blackstone, although they seem to be a bit pricey at $30/test. I just grabbed an AOA kit off the shelf last time I was at Spruce and sent it out last week, still haven't seen the...

    Do I have the math correct? v2

    I would sell what you have while it's still worth something and go for the 375. No contest in my mind. The pennies you might save by upgrading the 430 won't be worth it.

    When is the best season for learning to fly?

    For the record, SoCal is not the holy grail. Sure it's better than most places, but you will get the marine layer often, Santa Ana winds, etc. No place is perfect, and every location has it's unique challenges. As frustrating as it is getting canceled all the time, learning to fly in the same...

    Closed Grove Axles 5016-2

    Looking for a pair of Grove 5016-2 axles. These are the "Type 2" mounting pattern with the 1/4" holes (not the 5/16 & 3/8 holes). I've had a set on order with Grove for 2 months but they are telling me they don't know when it will go on the production schedule. Hoping someone has a pair laying...
