    My Attempt at a $115 ADS-B Receiver Build for Foreflight

    The ADSBIN's do have built in GPS. :) The reception is ok on the ground and very good in the air. As the technology improves it will just get better and better.

    stratus and tethered iphone

    As I said, the ADSBIN has a full WAAS GPS. Otherwise you need a separate GPS signal. How you choose to do that is up to you, with varied and or poor results We are not saying conflicting things, it will pick up out signals without radar sig. The dual band ADSBIN, stratux home built or any...

    stratus and tethered iphone

    This will answer your initial questions partially. The answer is some things. The ADSBIN's have all the functionality of the Stratus systems (minus the AHRS and synthetic vision on Foreflight due to their relationship with Appareo). However it has all those capabilities with most other major...

    What you guys think about this headset to start out with?

    Try out as many as you can before you make up your mind. Remember, not all headsets are the same - even if they look the same. The most expensive is rarely the best, but you do get what you pay for in this industry. The most important thing though, is YOUR HEAD. Find one that fits your head...

    #OSH16 Jambalaya/Chili Invite Thread

    Ok, looks like OSH is on for me! I'll do my best to make it over and hang out with you guys. I'm flying a 231 up with the Mooney Caravan, but I'll probably wander over solo. @gprellwitz , thanks for putting this on! :)

    Sorry I've been absent

    Good morning, I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to really interact and answer your messages here, on Facebook or the store. My father ended up in the hospital - on my 40th birthday no less - with acute pancreatitis. After a few days in the hospital, they found that he had necrosis (part of his...

    Open Flight Solutions?

    All the parts separately, plus shipping, is about the same as our prepackaged solution + some labor cost. Additionally, you don't end up with a bunch of extra crap you'll never use, and it's not a velcroed together mess that you throw in the back somewhere. Now the FlightBox is an assembly...

    Lost my vacuum pump, severe VMC day

    INOP instrument covers will help de-stress that modified scan. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/instr_cover13-00088.php?clickkey=19953 Ya, most people don't realize that you really never use the AHRS and synth vision on your tablet, as it's just not even useful except in maybe <5%...

    My Attempt at a $115 ADS-B Receiver Build for Foreflight

    Our case is made of polyacetal plastic so we have high stiffness and low friction. This is much better than the acrylic box for ground planing, and strength. So when your acrylic box breaks, I've got plenty. :) FYI, they're made by Chris still, but we wanted a better material. He fixed us right...

    NA Trip to Portland

    Ha! I'm headed to PDX on Monday night. (Father is sick and needs some assistance). I'll be there for at least a week. Seaside, and Astoria are great! You're welcome to come out to Sandy at the base of Mt. Hood. My father is a famous chainsaw carver and his gallery is there. I'll be running the...

    My Attempt at a $115 ADS-B Receiver Build for Foreflight

    The difference is that the ADSBIN is made with officially supported Stratux hardware and software. All of our parts are made for and by the developers and hardware engineers for the Stratux project. Additionally, they are completely built and tested, ready to fly. Other than that, they are...

    A Student Pilot's thoughts about the recent SR20 crash - Can I just "leave"?

    Exactly! That is a great briefing item to add to the toolbox. The perfect word was used by mscard88 as well, "confess". That is a very important keyword in those situations. I assure you that every single person on that radio is there to help in whatever way they can, and if they can't help...

    Why is AOPA renters insurance so much more expensive than Avemco?

    Hmm, that's weird. My quotes were $3 different with my AOPA membership, or $19 without the AOPA. Maybe check that you had the exact same options selected on both. I can't remember which one has one of the optional items checked by default that you don't need. But just verify everything matches.
