I would like to know more. This is close enough to Springfield that it's plastered on the new (or at least it was for a day). My wife, kids and I just completed a trip to Boulder CO this past weekend so this has there interest. A little more information...

Yeah, Ill give them a shout tomorrow for sure. I was just download the zTrip app for the arrowhead shuttle service. Apparently they have a different uber type service that takes you inside the gates versus dropped off outside the gates.

Anyone in the KC area that can brief me on KMKC day of a Chiefs football game? I have a couple of tickets and I am considering running up there for this Sunday's game. What I don't know is how full the public use ramp becomes on game day Sunday. The last time I was up there, the guys over at...

I just landed from Phoenix - the weather was absolutely nuts this past week. Poured on my golf tourney on Monday too. What gives Phoenix? I actually left out of Mesa and there were storms all over. Cool picture! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The stack is like this GMA-345 (audio) GTN-650 (gps) GNC-255 (nav2/comm2) GMA-345 (transponder) Dual G5’s replacing the AI and heading indicator. The GPS talks to G5’s, the transponder and GPS communicate also. You can set the code on either device. I am just diving in really but so far...

It's kind of weird to spend almost more than what the plane was worth but the options are to clean-up, update component and keep flying or park the plane and watch is fall into the earth. I couldn't let the latter happen so it's easy come, easy go with the money. I waffled on a few of the...

...sigh, wrong sub-forum. It was a long time coming and there is still a lot of panel work to be done but the heart is done! I know this is nothing new but I am not getting much appreciation traction with my wife. I am 20 lbs lighter both in the plane and wallet. Yes, I know I should at...

I have reached out to Fargo Avionics to see what they can do.

Hmm - that's the problem. Trying to get exact verification of what is where on the dash is tough to convey to a remote C&C person. I guess the 3 instrument openings are set so if we could flag what is where and then have the panel mapped out, it could be done. What I am trying to avoid is...

All- My plane is in the shop getting fresh avionics installed and old, abandoned or useless equipment being ripped out. This has made a mess of the panel covers in that 50% of the openings are now vacant. I have seen plenty of plastic replacement overlays online but I am looking for something...

All- I need to give the avionics shop a new layout for my instrument panel and stack upgrades/modifications. There is so much changing on the panel that simply pointing to the dash and telling them to put this here and that there isn't clear communication. I know I have seen a couple of...

Correct - the assumption is "untouched". I would have to treat it as if I just paid the cash out the avionics. You make a good point however on the taxable interest. That does change things a bit. The question is I guess, is it worth 5.5% to hang on to the cash. Sure is nice to hold the...

No, no - I wish! 3% on the Kasasa account. The compounding growth is higher at 3% than the diminishing loan interest at 5.5%. Compounding interest for $40,000 at 3.0% annual / 5 years = $6,370.96 interest made Diminishing Interest for $40,000 at 5.5% annual / 5 years = $5,843.00 interest paid...

Of course I have great relationships with many banks. I was just looking for something creative since I have the cash to pay outright. I thought maybe there were good options within the aviation market but they are largely prime + 1.5% or higher. I’ve opted to use my HELOC at prime rate...

Hey all- I have an avionics upgrade coming up in a couple of weeks and we have reached the point to where it makes sense to finance a portion of the upgrade versus shelling out buckets of cash. We are looking at financing around $30,000 / 10 year term or so. The addons just keep coming with...

I have been coming down to LBK on vacation for 16 years and have watched folks flying up and down the coast for years. I have flight envy! I now own a PA28 but couldn’t (and didn’t really try) to convince everyone to load up for a long haul from the Midwest. ... now that I am here, I am...

The is truth to this logic for sure. This is the dilemma indeed. Either get ADS-B and fly the doors off for a couple more years or do the upgrade. The radios are going, the transponder is going and land based approach options are fading for sure. I have a partner in the plane so at least...

Need.. well, that depends on who you ask. I feel like I "need" but the wife and checkbook disagree. You guys are going the wrong way on cost. I like the G5's for sure though. The problem is you just added another $3,000 for the PFD. The nav2/comm2 is an old Collins 251/351 with AMR-350...

Morning all - About two years ago I posted on the forum regarding avionics upgrade for my '79 PA-28-181 (3100 TT). The maintenance shop's schedule pushed us out to 2019 (I scheduled this over a year ago). That date is now approaching quickly and we need to figure out what we are really going...

Cool - It looks like make your turnout however directed and remain below 2000'. I will be heading west ultimately. I imagine every turns out northerly no matter who you are.
