Where in bay area? Scanlon Aviation in Novato (north bay) rents SR20s I believe.

Probably too large a project, but I thought it would be cool to build a glass/steam combo. It would be covered by a couple of wooden "doors" that, when closed, would give the appearance of steam gauges (the doors would have holes in them and the screen would put representations of circular...

Interesting -- it looks like VB-750 applied to 1976 Lances (32R-7680001 THRU 32R-7680525) and VB-850 applied to 77 and 78 Lances (32R-7780001 THRU 32R-7880068). Since these were all straight tail, I wonder why they changed the POH. Also, the latest revision for VB-750 is 2015 but VB-840 hasn't...

Thanks. Was installed cost about the avionics standard (I.e. twice equipment cost)?

19 months…amazing. That’s how long it’s taking me to just cover and paint!

Based on FlightAware, it does not appear that this plane has flown much recently.

I'm guessing its pretty unhelpful to ATC when someone calls up and says that they are the traffic and they are actually not the traffic being referred to. For that reason, I either don't say anything or call up for flight following (without trying to "help") on the off-chance that I'm wrong.
