    Opinions on the JMB VL-3 915

    Check the wing loading because that is what gives you the ride. The VL3 has the same wing loading as a Cirrus at 1320 lbs, but the EAB version can be 1600 lbs which gives it wing loading higher than just about any certified plane. It is a winner - especially with the 916 now available. The...

    Com Antennas on 1980 Cessna 182RG

    Resurrecting an old thread here. I just Bought a TR182 and it also does not have the comm antennas mounted anywhere visual. The GPS antennas now occupy the position the comm antennas previous did. The only place I can imagine they would be placed is in the leading edge of the vertical.

    Dynon Certified Install

    Jesse is installing a dual HDX in my TR182 along with a Dynon autopilot. Can't say enough good things about Saint Aviation. Also, the 450B audio panel is the best you can get. Just swapped out my 800b for one. Big difference.

    Avidyne IFD440 and 540... who has one?

    Have dual IFD 440s. Overall very nice - especially the automatic keyboard function using both displays. I have always had Garmin in the past, but starting to like the Avidyne as well. Also have the DFC 90, 240 audio panel and 340 transponder. Seems like good equipment. My #2 IFD is having...

    For Sale TruTrak Sorcerer Autopilot - 2014 model - Complete

    This autopilot came out of my 2014 Glasair III. It is complete with pitch and roll servos, computer, connector, servo hard stops, and tray. Servo mounts are not included as they stay in my plane for G3X conversion. Autopilot worked perfectly. I replaced it only to get full benefit of the G3X...

    Get a new headset?

    I have owned every headset mentioned here. Bose X, A20, Clarity, Halo, Zulu 2 (Not PFX) etc. The Halos are the winner in the "in the ear category" but they are still not as practical as a clamp headset. For instance, when it is cold in the cockpit the ear plugs are not flexible and do not...

    iOS 11 “Whack-a-Mole” game

    Garmin pilot not working well with iOs update as well. My new GDL-52 will not stay connected and sirius XM music choppy. I'm really tired of iOs issues and now that we know we have evidence that Apple is purposely slowing down older devices to sell new ones. The more they bloat the software...

    Question for G3XExpert - G3X ADS-B not working

    Emailed G3Xpert. It appears that my GTX-23ES software is too old and must be updated to broadcast ADS-B. Furthermore, my GTN650 is in need of update as well. So, it appears a trip to the Garmin dealer is in order.

    Question for G3XExpert - G3X ADS-B not working

    Hello, Have Glasair III with triple GDU37X, GTN 650, GTX-23ES. Transponder is working fine Mode C, but not showing up at our local FBO's ADS-B ground based system (We have a ADS-B ground station on our field). I also am failing the test on Garmin Pilot using the iPad. I did show up on...

    Being close to his age I am curious about what could have taken his life - that's all.

    I suppose that is possible, but I just don't see it. He was upbeat and passionate about flying, etc.

    Glasair III owner here - intoduction

    Found the obituary today. Very sad. Says he passed away at home. I wonder what happened? He surely did not know he was ill as he worked on the G3 all the time and was ready to fly it. http://obituaries.triblive.com/listing/256645/Todd-A-Copeland/

    That is horrible news. So sorry to hear this. Does anyone know what happened to him? I can't find any information on the net. I don't think he was very old.

    Glasair III owner here - intoduction

    I never thought I would read my obituary. I just asked my wife and she says I am still alive. Is it Todd Copeland? I sure hope not.

    You will not fit in a III that is not modified. My son is 6'2" with long legs and is maxed out.
