    Cherokee 140 Control Lock?

    I have one of these and it works well. Yes, $40 for a strap. I initially thought no way, but eventually wanted something that didn't look like a home brew kludge.

    "Say type..."

    I was just watching an episode of Mighty Planes on the Super Guppy. They showed an enroute clip where ATC queried "Say type..." and the pilot responded "Type is Super Guppy" "Super Guppy?" "Yep. I'll give you a second to Google it (chuckle)" Made me laugh. :D

    Final Cessna Citation Mustang

    Nope, they're conceding the market to SETPs like the Pilatus PC12. By the way, have you seen the new Cessna Denali? ;)

    ...and while Barons are cool, showing up in an 18 really turns heads!

    Why is RPM Redline on a plane so much lower than a Car engine?

    We should chip in and buy one of these to base at KSMO...

    Headset idea

    Thanks! These are custom molded to my ears and seal extremely well. Certainly better than pinch foam or silicone triple tree type monitors. They're made specifically to block most outside noise, as a stage can be a very noisy environment. Adding potentiometers is a great idea!

    Headset idea

    So, let me start by saying I have a Bose A20 I quite like, and a few sets of DCs to boot. I say this to avoid the "just buy a real aviation headset" responses. ;) Looking at the Clarity Aloft style headsets, I think I'd like to try them. But I think I can do better. I'm also a musician, so I...

    G530 subscription

    You do get TIS traffic (sometimes referred to as TIS-"A", which is a Mode S function) but not ADS-B traffic (TIS-B). Only some areas have TIS coverage, mostly near busy Bravos. The TIS system was largely abandoned with the onset of TIS-B (ADS-B), but is designed as a supplement to TCAS for...

    The Holy Grail Of Noise-Cancelling Headsets?

    I used to love the DAK catalog when I was younger. Always had cool stuff, and I used to like Drew's writing style. That said, I'm not sure these would be very good in an airplane. For one thing, there's no microphone. (Which might not be a bad thing for some pax!) But also, you would want...

    G530 subscription

    The combination of a GNS530W as position source and a GTX330ES will give you ADS-B Out only, so no traffic or weather (those are ADS-B In benefits).

    Cabin Heat is Lightly Smoking

    Slightly smoking is like almost pregnant. If it's smoking it is either on fire or will be. I'd consider that a grounding condition until you determine the source and repair it. Last thing you want is an in-flight fire.

    KX-155 Refurbishment, Replace??

    They do still make them, but I believe they only offer 28v versions now. (Pretty sure the KX-165 is 28v only, but they might still offer a 14v KX-155). http://www.bendixking.com/Products/Navigation-Communication/Navigation-Communication/KX-165A BK does offer a refurbishment program as well...
