The pilot has been identified as a 70 year old who moved to an air park in West Ossipee in 2020. Seems at odds with prior descriptions of the pilot in this thread. Regardless, RIP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a pair that I removed three years ago, one of which has a crack. Drop me a message if interested in either/both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few of us had this issue last month. Garmin replaced my terrain card for free. See this thread: GNS530W Terrain card seems to be dead...

I just called Garmin and they will send me a new card after I send them my old one. I asked if they were in stock, and he said yes. I should have a new card in a couple of weeks. I guess I will have a spare. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We left Friday morning with no delay at all, which I was not expecting. Had to hurry to get a mag check in before departure. Was the Friday night storm worse than Thursday’s? I spent several minutes braced against the windward side of the tent to help make sure the poles didn’t collapse inward...

What was the route in your clearance for the trip to eyw? Any chance you have a track for what they had you actually fly for comparison? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m thinking of doing the same so I’ll be following this thread. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My avionics guy had to change a resistor in my STEC-50 when I installed G5s, so I wouldn’t be surprised that you need the same. He knew it was going to be needed before starting the work, presumably from experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No worries. We originally expected to come down in February, but as we started look at actual plans, January worked better for us so we quickly made some arrangements and departed. Has worked out great so far. Will let you know if meeting up will work out - thanks for the offer! Sent from my...
