Hi, need to get a Case inspection and possible repair on a Continental IO-550. Shop sent it somewhere and they can't get to it for months... Would appreciate the help. best, dan

I can keep it cool, and just put it in a flight bag, in and out of the airplane with me. I'm just worried about a battery getting somehow "compromised"... and deciding to blow up or catch on fire in-flight. Wondering if this probably new(er) technology is less prone to issues like this. ALSO...

Hello. Looking at purchasing a The GOOLOO GP4000. Looks like it would jump start and certainly be a backup power source for an iPad or Stratus receiver. Big question... how worried should I be that this thing might blow up when stowed under the back seat? Kind of a horrible thought to have it...

put a new bat in the Stratus. Only cost 125.... and can't charge. GRR

yes, it's hardwired. What I fear, is that it's just not getting enough amperage, which I've learned from Al Gore's inter web seems to be 2.1a minimum. The iPad seems to be taking a charge, but not enough to retain its full charge, so I figged the Stratus just can't charge enough to work with...

I had the Stratus (2, not 3) hardwired. Also an iPad mounted to the panel is hardwired. I flew yesterday without the Stratus. It seems Stratus 2doesn't shut down when the avionics master is off... it continued to run and deplete the battery. I tried to recharge it overnight but I think - don't...

Just ONE of the things I don't like, is there's a battery light, but it doesn't show any indication as to whether the bat is full, half-full, etc. I just get an audible" Stratus is about to die" warning... I've got it hardwired in the airplane, but I don't think it's getting it's mandatory 2A of...

Thanks for these replies. Great information. Agree w the comments about technology changes Bricking good equipment. We spend a lot of money for this equipment, thinking it’s expensive and worth it… only to find it’s on a planned obsolescence schedule.

Great help. Thank you for the replies. dan

Hello. Gotta buy a new one. Have a Stratus 2XX. It worked fine, then the bat died, then I replaced it with a new one, and now bat lasts about 1.5 hours ... grrr. This stuff is techno-confusing and I'm just not a big techie... I installed a Garmin 175. Like it alot, but want to view info on a...

Really helpful information. Thanks to all who responded. I appreciate the coaching and insight

those are supposed to be really superior for quieting noise, but not liking the news of it getting frazzled after only 6 months...

So... have you used this? There's a high performance version, and a regular version. Looks like same stuff but is "self adhesive" which sounds good since I'm planning on installing and that adhesive is hard to work with. Recommendation and review would be appreciated. I'm just trying to keep the...

Working on a C-172D. Almost nothing left of the old rubber around the doors. There is a confusing amount of stuff out there. What's the best option for some kind of rubber gasket around the doors. And while we're at it, what kind of adhesive is best for application? Coaching MUCH appreciated. —dan

so helpful. THANKS Ryan

can't find it on Garmin's website... grr... I think it's a blade antenna. Is there special cabling or spec for the cabling required? Would APPRECIATE the coaching! dan

Hello. Just deployed one of these, but don't have a battery charger port in the airplane. Can I expect 4 hours of battery capacity? It's paired with an iPad. Coaching much appreciated. thanks dan
