> " . . . as intuitively as you knew a pound.. actually you do! One gram is basically a paperclip(ish) in weight . . ." heh heh, I've got an intuitive sense of what a gram is :cool:

I think the emoticon denotes some irony here . . . but don't know what it is. I don't do iAnything so I'm clueless.

> "How does your 660 already get AHRS?" I guess you're right. The 660's "3D" function isn't the same as the GDL39-3D. I'm glad you pointed that out. > "The GDL39's have a propietary 12v connector to cig lighter so more of a PITA to charge in the plane (takes up your only cig port) . . ." I...

I wish people would stop using this metric crap. Who started that stuff anyway? I bet it was Communists that started it, trying to undermine our (US and the UK, RSA, Australia & NZ, etc.) miles, feet and inches. Using it just makes people have to get their calculators out to convert...

Thanks for all the responses. It makes sense that the 39's would get left behind as people move up to fancier equipment. Re the 3D model, I don't think I'd enjoy any advantage since I'm going to hook it up to a 660 which already has AHRS. The prices I've been seeing with the 39's don't show...

Soon as I put my attention back on plane projects I'll be installing whatever complies the least expensively with the mandate. As for IN, I've been watching GDL-39's show up in droves on eBay, some of them going for as little as $300. Is there some reason people are ditching their GDL-39...

I was missing Brazil nuts recently and in the process of finding a source and ordering some I was reminded just what an amazing gift of nature they are. https://draxe.com/brazil-nuts/

Thanks for pointing out that my idea of connecting the echoUAT to the 660 is a dud. That was clear mis-information on my part . . . based upon the mistaken assumption that since it (660) has wi-fi, I could pair it with wi-fi ADS-B. I've since come across many references to the fact that...

Old thread I know. I was just going back through previous discussions so thought to update this one. The ADS-B In source I mentioned about is this: https://uavionix.com/products/echo-uat/ It will communicate with the 660 via wi-fi or BT. I haven't ordered it yet however since I've been...

Thank you! I'll investigate.

I just came across a NooElec ADS-B receiver I bought and then forgot I bought it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NooElec-NESDR-Nano-2-Tiny-RTL-SDR-ADS-B-Receiver-w-Antenna-RTL2832U-R820T2/151900102481?epid=2256015416&hash=item235df39f51:g:1x0AAOSw7FRWXClw:rk:2:pf:1&frcectupt=true It was buried...

". . . You're missing the point, drug traffic FROM Mexico is the root cause" Either you've drunk some kool-aid or you haven't been paying attention. Our government has been in the drug business since the Fifties, possibly even earlier. Read The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia for...

No . . . Mexico didn't do that. The U.S. did that. If you had any awareness of anything beyond your TV news you'd know better.

Thanks EdFred and others. Times have changed looks like. The same people have turned trips to Mexico into an ordeal instead of something casual, as they once were.

Why is Canadian sympathy necessary? Stopping at some intermediate airport for fuel has always just been normal procedure and nothing out of the ordinary. As for U.S. Customs being "ugly", it's a flight from U.S. airspace to U.S. airspace with no formal entry into Canada, so why would Customs...

In my commercial flying days I could pull into any appropriate airport in the event fuel was running short. Get gas, nobody except me leaves the plane, get back in the air. Flying from say, Bellingham to Ketchikan with just enough fuel to get there, I've read that landing in Canada can be a...

I think it was in one of Mike Busch's columns wherein he said a constant flow regulator wastes 3/5's of the oxygen in the tank. A pulse dose regulator can be had for $35 - it's what I paid for my PD-1000. There are several other brands of demand regulators so an inexpensive one should be an...

Ten years is a long time for that bridge to last without problems. Good work I'd guess, despite the fact implants would have been a better solution - maybe. Maybe what he did was exactly the right choice considering the long drawn out process of getting implants installed and crowned vs the...

My PD-1000 from Devilbiss is a demand (the PD stands for "pulse dose") regulator and highly adjustable. There were at least two other manufacturers of demand flow medical regulators on the market when I bought mine several years ago. Mine has a dial with numbers 1 through 9 ending with CF...

> "If we had a crystal ball and knew she was going to live to 100 it would be worth the implants." Or not. Even if she lives that long or longer, the mental/physical trauma of going through all the appointments and procedures (benign as they are) and risk of infection with the multiple visits...
