    Can I ask anyone who has completed the Garmin upgrades how they like it?

    Ed - I can't tell you for sure what they are offering today. In October we got a $2000 discount on the IFD440 because we were upgrading the non-WAAS GNS430. Plus we got to 430 back to sell. There was also a promo that we got free WIFI on the IFD. I know that expired at the end of October...

    Can I ask anyone who has completed the Garmin upgrades how they like it?

    I think your estimate on the IFD is a little high. We just did the upgrade to the 440. Avidyne is offering good incentives for the 440 if you upgrade from a Garmin then you can sell the Garmin 430. You can get into a new GPS now for a good price.

    How do aircraft fuel injection systems work?

    I just looked at the video index on that YouTube channel. That is a lot of free content. Thanks for posting.

    When is a weld OK?

    I stumbled into that forum when I was looking for help replacing a carburetor. There is a forum for everything.

    LPV / WAAS Upgrade

    True - I am an Engineer. I am way too analytical for sales! I would talk too many people out decisions that don’t make sense and I would never get a commission. We did sell the 430 though. If you can find the situation where the buyer can do the labor and have someone to sign it off it...

    LPV / WAAS Upgrade

    I have a used Non-Waas 430 that we will be selling. I still would not recommend buying a used 430/530. Ours was 20 years old. We also put in the the Lynx 9000 transponder and it does have a better screen than our old 430.

    Can I ask anyone who has completed the Garmin upgrades how they like it?

    Not specifically what you asked - but we had a G430 non was with the 330 Transponder. I looked at the cost of upgrading to WAAS including installation labor. We opted for the Avidyne IFD 440 to replace the Garmin 430. It is a direct plug in replacement for the 430. It uses the same tray and...

    Need used 430 or 530

    Yes - ours is a non-was unit. It is also native 28 volt but we do have the 12v-28 volt transformer.

    Rebalancing a rudder

    Nice setup. As a 40+ year machine shop guy - please don't leave the chuck key in the lathe chuck. Bad things can happen!

    An AOPA WTF pie chart

    They did poke fun at themselves for the mistake on the AOPA podcasts. I can sympathize with them. I have made more than one PowerPoint presentation with a glaring error that I missed no mater how many times I proof read it.

    Need used 430 or 530

    Can you define "cheap"? We just removed a working 430 and will be selling it soon.

    For those who doubted, a Mini 5 is coming

    That is what drove me to getting the Air 2 instead of the mini. I am hoping the new mini is all screen like the new phones. My Air 2 has a large bezel that reduces screen area quite a bit. If the new Mini is almost all screen - it may not be that much of a reduction in screen size and a...

    Must Safety Pilot Have Complex Endorsement?

    I have researched these at different times - this is from memory. 1. - Yes - The safety pilot is required crew and must have a medical. I cant remember the reg - i’ll look it up. 2. - yes - If you meet 61.51 -sole manipulator of the controls - yes. How did I do?

    Commercial Written - Which Ground School ?

    I was curious about the calculator requirements. I plan to take the commercial written in about a month. 15 years ago when I took the instrument written, they were not going to let me use my scienctific calculator because it was programmable. I showed the proctor that the memory was cleared...

    If You're Bored, Go To An Airport......

    We will be down there later this month. We stay almost across the street. We eat at that resturant several times each trip. The lounge on the top floor of the Hilton looks out over the airport and harbor. It is a great area. My home airport up north is mostly deserted, but Whitted impresses...
