Where is it located? What is the useful load and cruise airspeed?

Looks like a nice job.

Located in Denver at KFTG. It cruises around 120MPH. Useful is 950lbs. When I stripped it, got a lot of weight out of it.

 

[JDACO]

Thanks!

How did you mount the 796? You may have detailed it in one of your videos, but if you did, I missed it.

Its mounted to the panel via an anodized aluminum gimbal mount from Angerol. Really neatly designed. I had one in my Bonanza and loved it! Heres a link:

I was wondering if your 172 with the 220 Franklin is still for sale. I am selling one in Alaska and looking for one in the lower 48

 

[Greg Bockelman]

You never know but that was two and a half years ago.
