Thanx Dale, I did do that and got it on my Wi-Fi network at home. The issue I'm having is it won't sync with my Stratus ESG w/3i ADSB in/out Transponder. The iPad with ForeFlight worked ok with the Stratus but I cannot get the iFLY 740b to work. The options are Auto-Detect, Stratus v1 &...

Finally an update. took many months to get all the bugs worked out (A&P) and then to get the instruments installed. Very happy with the setup so far, still playing with iFLY 740b vs ForeFlight iPad mini. Really need to get the iFLY 740b ADSB in working from the Stratus ESG w/3i as the iPad...

I purchased an iPad & ForeFlight against my will as I'm a PC guy by trade, use Android phones, and hate Apple. So after a year of that damn iPad shutting down all the time I let it all expire and purchased iFly & a 740b. I got tired of using the dash mounted Stratux with antennas, wires, and...

OK.. the headache is finally over and I've pulled the trigger. Was looking for a simple solution, tried and tested, intuitive, bang-4-buck, mostly VFR, KISS, and a hint of some IFR capabilities just in case I ever learn some of that but definitely not going for an IFR rating. I'd spend that...

Well, I've been researching for months and I've never heard one bad thing about your product from any pilot (user) so you guys are doing something right! :-)

Thanx Greg! We're very excited to get her in the air. Gathering the instruments now and should have an opening with my new A&P end of the month.

That's good to know on the PS Engineering support. If it's that good wonder why the installers had a different view? hmmm You are absolutely correct on the Garmin support. They verbally told me the 28v units and 14v 430's were no longer being upgraded to WAAS but the 430's & 530's will be...

Man you guys make this tough, and I appreciate it! :-) Good points about the display resolutions. As far as new vs old equipment, why is a GNS530 $9k used and a GNX375 only $6.8k new? I know without the com it's not really apples to apples but $2k difference for 20 year newer? I'm thinking...

No this will be my only plane, first, last. After researching all the information everyone has flooded me with (Thanx BTW) I find the research keeps pushing me back to the old Garmin GNS-530. I have plenty of room for gauges as all but the KY-97A will be removed. What I'm finding with the...

Thanx for taking the time for that great write-up Kent! I've printed it out and need to absorb it all. I do meet with an avionics guy tomorrow so hopefully will have a better idea on a direction. More info from my side; 1) I doubt very seriously I ever get my IFR rating 2) very close to...

I don't know? My friend has a Cherokee 140. He and I were both way North of 250 lbs when we flew to Eloy for training. He removed 15 gallons of fuel before we left, I don't know what the net fuel was as I was pretty green then. But when I landed in Eloy, taxied back and tried to take off in...

Good info. I fly out of KFFZ which is a class-D airspace so do need the ADSB. I originally thought a wing tip or tail ADSB would be the way to go but it was pointed out to me that if I go in dash I could also upgrade the transponder for not much more $$ so seemed a better choice? I'm old school...

Wow Guys, Thanx for the great responses! I'll need time to look over your suggestions and research the equipment. However, at this point I'm not IFR certified and will be flying VFR for quite some time so not looking to "IFR cert" the plane. Just want to upgrade the 53 year instruments so...

Hello All, Newbie here trying to learn all I can as quickly as I can. I close on a '67 Piper Cherokee 235 Monday and appears most the instruments are original. :( So looking to replace some antiques with something I've at least seen before. Here's the center dash now; Collins 250 audio...

That shouldn't be an issue. As an update though a big red flag for me was the 8hr charge at $105 per hour to pull and reinstalled the magnetos. I've approached another A&P and after discussions with him I feel much better about the purchase and will probably pay about 65% of the first quote to...

I'm in the same boat. Buying my first plane (67 Piper Cherokee 235) and just got the Pre-buy report. Found about 10 things that needed attention, 2 of them reskins of control surfaces. With the pre-buy, annual, and fixes I'm looking at $12 grand. I got the plane at a good price so that's not...
