Indeed. I don't think there's a single cruise ship that is registered in the US. They tend to be registered in Caribbean countries. I also find it interesting that last year Boeing authorized a $3 billion stock buyback, as mentioned in their annual report. If they get help, we should not...

As per my first post on this thread, try Avionics Source. and if Garmin has indeed released the maintenance manual to the public that’s definitely something new.

That’s a screenshot, not a link. If you work at a Garmin dealer that has the authorization to work inside the box that’s one thing, but for Garmin to release such information to the public (and other manufacturers) is unlikely at best. Any copies of the maintenance manual that are out there...

The Twin Bonanza begat the Queen Air, which begat the King Air. The wing structure is very similar throughout the lineup, and the fuselage structure evolution is rather apparent under the skin as well. The 310 was designed to fit in a typical T hangar; the Tbone definitely did not have those...

Install manuals, yes. Maintenance manuals, which you need if you open the box, no.

Will second Avionics Source of Seattle. They’ve got a bunch they’re trying to push out, might pick up one myself to replace a GPS500 and old King combo. Don’t know when Garmin will quit supporting them but can’t be much longer.

Well, you'd get twin time, but not complex or high performance twin time. Interesting bird for sure.

Who knows. The RC hobby was originally pretty self regulating, either through the Academy of Model Aeronautics, or people who basically followed the AMA guidelines and had some self control. With the advent of cheap imported drones the cost to entry came down a lot and anyone can fly a cheapo...

Been looking at Beechtalk for awhile now trying to find it. Got a link? Edit: never mind, found in the archives. 1960 M35. Beechtalk is usually less entertaining when I visit...

There is much more to being an approved simulator than just the software. It’s the total package of the software and the hardware combined. Redbird uses P3D, an updated version of MSFS X. They get the BATD or AATD LOAs for one configuration and build identical configurations under the same...

Can the GTN cards be formatted to work with different units?

I’m restoring an O-2A that has seen better days, and a friend borked his 185 and needs new wings or his rebuilt (don’t underinsure!) and we figure that a jig would be a lot easier to buy than build. Though I’ll build if I need to.

Been checking there too, but thought I’d cast a bigger net.

Looking for a set of Cessna wing jigs to be put to good use. Bonus for the 337/O-2 tooling as well.

In general, higher performance/gross generally means either older airframes or higher prices. Though if you’re really intending to hold it for ten years, sinking money into it is a helluva lot better than having to sell in a year or two. Ten years from now, they’re gonna come out with...

I don't get that reading the OP. He did separate out the trust fund chaps from the white collar high pay ones. And I know I'm fortunate to be reasonably physically fit and have a good blue collar job that covers flying. Of course when I started Champs were $20 an hour to rent. Bit harder...

>Forgive me if this is too strong a response, but I get tired of crap about being fortunate. You are fortunate, quite frankly, even if you don't want to hear it. Born in a first world country to good parents who instilled in you a good work ethic puts you well ahead of many people on this...

Yes, the IFD 510 and 545 are direct swaps for the 500W. There’s some additional work if upgrading a straight 500 but nowhere near a new install level.

Oh good, TKM makes a 170 replacement. I would do that if you are going to keep your current audio panel for awhile. Or do the audio panel with intercom first, keep your current radio for now and put in a TKM a bit later. Something like what Ravioli said. My own inclination would be to go...

What radios do you have in there now? TKM might have a slide in replacement, with the digital flip flop tuning. Takes longer to do the paperwork than the physical swap.
