I had a 4-place PS Engineering PM1000ii installed in my Cardinal in June 2016 for $1,215. (not including the intercom which was around $350) Installation included 4 headset jacks, 2 audio input jacks, drilling both yokes to install 2 PTT switches, wiring, and labor. The original quote was for...

It’s a strictly GPS based autopilot so it won’t follow VOR, LOC/ILS, or a heading bug. It follows only a selected GPS ground track, GPS NAV from a portable GPS, or GPS steering from a panel mounted IFR GPS (and GPS vertical steering for LPV approaches if it’s a WAAS IFR GPS) As long as you...

Very true and I seriously considered attempting the install myself with A&P supervision, and the shop probably would have let me help. The installation looked to be fairly straightforward and the kit came with everything needed (including hardware) with the exception of a breaker, master switch...

Indeed it was, and good company! :)

Here ya go... Installation Kit: Pitch Bracket and rod: Pitch Bracket: Pitch Servo and rod: Roll Bellcrank and rod: Roll Servo and rod: Panel Center Stack: Full Panel: Autopilot Control Unit:

Update if anyone is interested... The AIRINC 429 data out configuration in the 430W was set to "AIRINC 429" instead of "GAMA 429". Made the change and tried another approach and it followed the LPV glideslope perfectly with the glideslope and localizer centered all the way to DA. The Missed...

The avionics shop wrapped up the installation of the TruTrak Vizion autopilot in my C177B Cardinal last weekend and I braved the cold to go try it out on New Years Day. Installation: The install took about 2 weeks but that included the shop taking a few days off around Christmas, a couple of...

I've used ratchet straps before and they're OK as long as you don't get carried away cinching them down. Now I carry the type pictured by Matthew K. Compared to rope they're much easier to put on and I can get them much snugger. I don't use them often enough to wear them out, and even If I did...

Once the install begins I'll plan to start a new thread here and do my best to document the progress. The install I'm following on Cardinal Flyers Online is progressing with only a couple of minor snags. The roll servo had to be shimmed slightly to prevent contact with the aileron cables and...

I have a TruTrak Vizion AP kit for my C177 still in the box sitting in my hanger waiting for installation, hopefully in the next few weeks. The C177 kit just started shipping Monday of last week and mine was delivered the following Wednesday. I’m aware through the Cardinal Flyers Online site of...

I'm in the same boat, I never got around to migrating to another logbook and I skipped the last couple of iOS updates on my backup iPad so LogTen Pro would continue to calculate currencies correctly. I'm sure it won't be long before the other apps on that iPad (i.e. ForeFlight) stop working...

I may need to fly into New Orleans Lakefront airport (KNEW) in the next couple of weeks from the Tulsa, OK area. Flying in from the NW in a single engine piston 20 nm over Lake Pontchartrain doesn't sound too appealing. For those of you in the area, or that fly there regularly, is there typical...

I got quotes recently from a shop at my home field that's familiar with my Cardinal for $5,993 and another from Autopilot Central at Tulsa for $6,155. Non-GPS GTX-345 interfaced to a GNS-430

My mistake! I just checked my logbook and KJEF is where we ate lunch at the restaurant on the way to Peoria, not KCOU. On the way home around dinner time the next day the restaurant was closed so the FBO fed us their leftover barbeque and ice cream! Great folks! I haven't eaten at the restaurant...

I've been to both for fuel stops and had a great experience at each, can't go wrong with either choice. KCOU has Skyline Café on the field if you're there around lunchtime. We ate there on one stop and were happy with the food and service. They're both pretty laid back compared to my home...

I'm surprised it hasn't already been mentioned (unless I just missed it) that most banks that do aircraft loans will finance an engine overhaul or avionics upgrade into the loan. When I was looking at an airplane last year that was over TBO I checked with First Pryority Bank (Pryor, OK), USAF...

KRVS tower normally uses 120.3 but will split to 120.3 for the west runway and 119.2 for the east runway when there's a lot of student traffic in the pattern. When they're split it will be in the ATIS.

I wish i could find a working MX-300 for $150, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! The lowest price I've found so far is $1,000.

Wiregoat, I see you're in SW Missouri, I'm in NE Oklahoma. If you can't find a Cardinal owner nearby I'd be happy to fly up sometime if you want to see if a Cardinal up close to see if it would work for you.
