Hampton (7B3) has been consistently good the few times we have been. Can be busy with locals that drive in on the weekends. The Trail House Kitchen and Bar is just outside the airport in North Adams (AQW) and was good the one time we went. The Bethel airport (0B1) has bikes to borrow and a...

Repaving is in progress at KAFN. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You’re welcome. One thing I might add is that I got a warning on the GNS saying it wasn’t receiving data on the channel on my first startup after configuration was done. I had other things to check out (all the new probes) so I didn’t immediately follow up on that, but it never repeated in...

I too had a good experience with Lightspeed customer service. I had a set of two year old ZULU 3s that looked like a clear coat peeling away on the stirrup that holds the earpiece on one side. I sent them in and they came back looking like new including new ear seals, head pad and mic muff...

Here's what I used for port settings to communicate with GNS 430W. Mine was wired to use COM3 on the CGR-30P wired to channel 4 on my 430W. Just configure the appropriate port on your devices if wired differently. On the CGR-30P, set RX-FUNCTION to "GPS-Aviation", and TX-FUNCTION to...

The videos are helpful. The written installation guide is pretty good as well, but there are some gaps. I had to do some research to determine the specific port settings to use to have it communicate with my GNS 430, for example. And I have yet to configure for the %HP calculation. Does anyone...

I just finished an install and I pulled the old tach and Hobbs gauges as well. My A&P suggested setting tach on the CGR to TTAF. We left engine time at zero since it isn’t really used for maintenance or any other long term use other than single flight time (e.g. how much time my instructor bills...

I’ve flown the area several times this year. I generally look for winds under 30mph at the summit and have flown the area on a couple remarkable days with winds around 10mph. The higher the winds, the higher I tend to fly. A particularly memorable experience is to take off from either KHIE...

I was finally successful updating 430W cards on Windows this morning as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I won’t be able to try for a few hours, but just got this update from a customer service query I sent a couple of days ago: Thank you for contacting Garmin International. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our outage from 23 July to 26 July 2020. For more information, please visit...

Not working for me. I get far enough to launch flyGarmin on windows (an improvement from yesterday) but I then get one of a couple of different errors suggesting a communication issue talking to Garmin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Web site is now updated. New dates are "proposed" - stay tuned. "SUN ‘n FUN and the Aerospace Center for Excellence are deeply concerned about the developing crisis with COVID-19 and understand our responsibility to help in the fight against the spread of the disease. Our first priority is...

Thanks for the info. We're planning our first time attending, expecting to spend the full week. Working on a packing list now and will take any advice available from those with some experience. A couple of other questions from your first post that didn't really get much response: Things you...

Hi Martin. How would you answer your first timer questions now that you’ve done it once? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This looks like a great resource - thanks for the pointer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Initially magnesium actually - a change to aluminum to try to address the many crack issues that were showing up. This is what I was hoping I might find, but all inventory appears to have been used up. Yup - I’ll likely end up with the conversion kit given low odds of finding a suitable...

I did - you are right that there are several, but none of the specific instance I am looking for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking for a McCauley wheel for a 172N. I may end up having to convert to Cleveland if I can't source the part. Looks like I need assembly C163003-104, or even just a serviceable hub. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone that might have one, or if you have any tips for locating one...

Martin, I’m a relatively new WINGX user and generally happy (other than a couple of bugs I’ve reported). I don’t have experience with the prior version. What changed in version 9 that led to your dissatisfaction? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In my case, Stratux with external GPS antenna. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
