Guessing someone got a little squirrely with the tiller. If centered on landing, you really shouldn't even need it until airspeed bleeds below 25-30 kts. The massive rudder will control most everything else. If above those airspeeds, any little bump will result in this if you aren't...

I watched auctions for a month or so before picking up a MX170B on eBay. With a little sniping, I was able to get the radio for just over $800 if I remember correctly. Has worked perfectly ever since. When I first bought the plane, I just needed something a little more digital than the KX170b...

Yes. On the Sierras, you can have the mic boom on the right hand side of the headset...not so on the Zulus. ;)

Eh, not bad. My buddy has a pretty good one that he assembled in his house ;)

61.129 still requires 10 hours of retract (or turbine) time to be eligible to take the CPL checkride, so... Although this will probably change in the future. I know there is a proposed rule change out there, but don't know what the status is.

Plenty of KLN90B and KLN94 units floating around. Not new, but certainly under $2000 to acquire. Don't the experimental guys still have to buy the same GPS units we certified guys do at the moment??

My old stomping grounds here. Sad to lose another PA24 probably, but at least everyone walked away ok. Didn't really say, but had they just departed HFY or were they already enroute from somewhere (to somewhere)?

Funny. I was treated very well at Hilton Head with a single engine Piper. Parked for a week, took a little fuel, and don't remember the charge being outrageous. Not been to any of the other airports listed (in an aircraft)... Does anyone know which two airports from the previous filed...

I know my local MX shop is looking for a GPS for a plane, so let me pass it along to them.

Who are you having install them? Doing it yourself? Interested to hear how it goes. I've read most of the install manual, and it doesn't seem overly tricky...but I still think I'd let someone do it, lol

Agreed, but I almost fell for it too! lol Not unable to fly...just unable to fly in designated airspace. I may look for a twin on January 2nd, 2020 ;)

I have to admit, for a hot minute, I thought it was a legit article. At first I was mad as hell, but then realized there was no way the FAA was working on Sunday, lol.

(After AvWeb's stunt...lol) (FAA Extends ADS-B Mandate To 2040) We have a sense of humor, too, but an April Fool’s joke that the Federal Aviation Administration is extending the ADS-B deadline is just that. As stated in the final rule published with industry input in May 2010, all aircraft...

Yes. I can buy both G5s from Aircraft Spruce today and have my local MX shop install them both.

I hate you. lol :p

More work than available shops at the moment...shops can command a high price and pick and choose which work they want to do. When I first started looking at avionics about 3 years ago, I had no trouble finding shops that would do work with used avionics. I ultimately decided the delta between...
