Final Approach
Yeah going to submit for judging in vintage. Right now I'm going through all the little things - polishing hubcaps, painting brake calipers etc.You flying up to Oshkosh? I'd love the opportunity to ogle your aircraft.

Aera 660What is in your new panel? Couple of G 275s, two new radios, but can't quite make out what nav unit you have.
Yeah, that's why I decided to stick with a single VOR.I see you only have one Nav radio. I'm back and forth on that. Given the rapid decline of VOR's, it does make sense of not really needing a back up.
It's plenty IFR capable. I even did my instrument rating in it, single VOR. It's as capable as I'm comfortable going with a single engine airplane anyway.I'm guessing if you wanted it to be IFR capable you would have put in a GTN something vs the Aera 660 and GNC 255.
Like everything in this plane it wasn't done all at once. The JPI was installed LONG before GI275's came out.Why not another G275 for an engine monitor vs the JPI 730? I'm guessing cost as well as the JPI seems to be a popular instrument that seems to work well?
By definition, yes.Without a GPS for LVP are you then mostly flying ILS and VOR approaches?
Tune and turn... a lot. But in all reality the VFR GPS is great for situational awareness.How do you find fixes with no GPS and only 1 nav VOR? (I see no DME).
It's intersections you'd be finding. Get established on the airway and find your holding heading. Hold that heading. Tune the cross radial VOR, identify, twist the OBS to the radial. When you cross it, go back to the airway VOR. Now have some fun. Hold at an intersection with one Nav. This used to be a thing in IR training many moons ago. In the days before flip/flop radios. You could like get blisters on your fingers doing it. Or shoot some Approaches with some IF's on it that are intesections and the FAF is an intersection. If there are Step Down Intersections inside the FAF, the Chart will have a dual VOR recievers required note.Without a GPS for LVP are you then mostly flying ILS and VOR approaches?

Well we took home best in type for Cessna 180/182/185/210. I couldn't be happier! It's a real cherry on top of the restoration
Howsa bout an honorable mention for POA. We practically told you how to do itView attachment 109197

You're just sad about your FOMO last weekAnd I thought listening to "short body mooneys are the best bang for the buck" was tiring.
That's not a spoiler. A spoiler would be to tell us whether @Lowflynjack will be the OP for the next major thread about your plane, and whether the belly was clean or not.Spoiler alert. There's going to be one more major thread about my plane, then it goes back to being just another 'wagon.

Let's just say I can confirm the belly is clean!That's not a spoiler. A spoiler would be to tell us whether @Lowflynjack will be the OP for the next major thread about your plane, and whether the belly was clean or not.
