S-Tec can likely repair it for you if you send them the controller.

The head of engineering at Boom has prior experience leading the certification of the Gulfstream G650 and other Gulfstream models.

Computational fluid dynamics simulations on AWS are more efficient than building physical models for wind tunnel testing. Boom is also doing wind tunnel testing, but only after likely running many iterations via CFD first. Their USAF partnership was previously announced and the Amex...

The SF Bravo was redesigned in 2018. The old design used DME distances and VOR radials. The new design utilizes GPS more. Some of the waypoints are used for the VFR flyways which were also revised/added in 2018. I would guess that as airspace is revised, we will see more GPS usage. SLC, for...

Are you headed to AATG for the avionics? They did my most recent panel installation. Did nice work at a good price. I flew back from Greeley to the Bay Area via Laramie, Rock Springs, Evanston, Salt Lake City, Elko, Battle Mountain, Reno/Truckee. (Follow I-80 as others mentioned above.) If you...

I have no first hand experience, but here are some options: https://flightflix.net/mount-catalog/ https://www.nflightcam.com/collections/mounts https://mypilotpro.com/shop/ For tie down rings, the last option looks secure with a cam lever and hairpin safety. For mounting on inspection plates...

Two finger tap to measure.

Supposedly an ar-15 trigger / hammer spring fits with some frustration. You can get a few from a gun shop for a few dollars or order online.

3rd that. A friend of mine had an ads-b transponder installed at Airtronics at KJAQ and was happy. They were able to squeeze him in faster than Executive Autopilots.

It looks like people have been getting eBay deals between $300-500. Perhaps try “best offer” on a few? There are quite a few active listings. Of course, the display will die on the replacement eventually too, but you can kick the can down the road.

@PaulMillner has the turbo system for his RG and can likely share. My regular IO360 RG cruises at 140 KTAS. I believe the turbo system can reach 170 KTAS at altitude as sea level power is available to 20k ft., but it’s less of an assist at lower altitudes. I’ve heard the 390 engine is good for...

The iPad simulator works great. Consider a Flightstream 510 for the GTN. Transferring flight plans from an Garmin Pilot or Foreflight is a great timesaver.

I don’t have first hand knowledge, but I’ve had the Luna site bookmarked for a while. I never pulled the trigger. They have a lightweight model that looks good for flying and an insane model that’s greatly overpowered. The latter looks like a fun ride, but expensive. From what I can tell he...
