I haven't flown with them, but I did print out full size versions of the AI and HSI GI-275 units and attached them to my steam gauge AI/DG in the plane. I had no problem reading everything on the screen. But I did have 2 issues with one relating to information overload on the HSI. The HDG and...

WDD, ten years ago when I was looking there were two types of Grummans on the public listing sites. Ones that had been there for months (for good reason) and others that were desirable and sold before I could get to them. What I did to get around that situation was to telephone each of a...

Or find a plane with a certified airplane with a primary digital tach and compare the result of the app with the panel tach reading. My experience with a similar Android app (Headspeed tachometer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.idsoftware.headspeedtach&hl=en_US&gl=US) is that...

My experience with Overcasters was similar to MacFlier's, but as long as I am careful with them, the only real issue was the loss of the protective rubber on the glasses clips. Once one came off of mine I removed the others and replaced all of them with small pieces of rubber heat shrink...

Shouldn't the next thing that those airports with long hangar waiting lists do is raise hangar rents until demand and supply are in balance? Then we would find out if there really is enough demand to support new hangar construction at a rental rate that will pay for the construction and...

The shop that painted my plane used Avery Dennison SW900 vinyl for the placards. https://graphics.averydennison.com/en/home/graphics-products/vehicle-wrapping-films/swf900-supreme-wrapping-film.html

I have a tablet (not an iPad) that displays that message in its notification bar when it is fully charged. Any chance your iPad is doing the same thing? Starting our with less than a full charge (even if it is reading 100% it could be down a few tenths of a percent), then tops up during the...

After my saga back in 2014 I found another option that some might want to consider (if you have access to, or know someone who has access to a laser cutter). As mentioned by others, Rosen panels seem to be ca. 1/8 inch thick (more like 0.120) dark tinted acrylic sheet (such as...

I am no expert, but I am pretty sure that the unit below the one that is circled is a Piper AutoControl IIIB (same as Century IIB). Not an STEC. The 5 position rotary switch in the center of the panel is the mode selector. See...

I've had this type of clicking in the headset and it also correlated with interrogation of the transponder. In the case of my plane the issue, though, was the connection between the transponder antenna and its coaxial cable. Removing the cable and a shot of Deoxit contact cleaner, a sign-off...

Sorry to hijack, but had to ask. Are they really impressive? When I got back into flying, two of my interests were to see fireworks at night and Christmas lights at night. After seeing how unimpressive fireworks are from the air I never got around to the Christmas lights. Figured if...

Does the airplane have air-adjustable aileron and rudder trim, or only ground adjustable? If ground adjustable, any chance that one or both of them are set wrong for your IMC cruise speed? That could cause an unintended bank and loss of altitude, and trying to compensate for it could lead to a...

Does it matter if there are multiple airspaces involved. In the OP's example KTTN is in Philadelphia Approach airspace, in about 20 nm the airspace changes to Reading Approach for the landing at KRDG, then it switches to Allentown Approach, and, finally, about half way between KABE and KAVP it...

It takes very little of this stuff to melt frost on the wing, so make sure the sprayer can "spritz" it on rather than produce a coarse spray (to minimize the amount used). Also, check the ingredients and get the RV antifreeze based on propylene glycol and not a type based on ethanol. I found...

Some day I hope to take you up on that offer<G>.

I agree. Have a similar issue with a wifi router that I use to bridge between a public Xfinity wifi hotspot and wifi devices in my hangar. My solution is to run the router's power through an old school mechanical electrical timer that cycles the power for a few minutes in the middle of the...

Tom, the HS720 is a good choice. If it has a weakness it is that it doesn't have a gymbol for image stabilization so it relies on electronic stabilization alone. That limits its ability to record smooth video in winds. Otherwise is pretty good. Consider a 2nd battery as 20 minutes battery life...

I have my plane in an LLC in NJ (originally was planning to buy it with a partner and had already formed the LLC when the partnership fell through). Since the LLC has no income my accountant says it doesn't have any tax obligation beyond the annual filing fee I pay to the state. I do have...

Thanks. Better, but as you wrote, still not good.

Earlier today I watched a couple of Youtube videos by Austin Pilot about his GI-275 installation. He highlighted another characteristic that, for me, is a show stopper. Switching back and forth between GPSS mode and Heading mode takes 7 steps. 1) Knob push to display Menu1, 2) select Options...
