    Purchasing an airplane just for parts?

    Has anyone done this or have any opinion on it? A twin GA airplane that is due for an overhaul for the engines is being sold for about $50k. It needs 2 overhauls, which would realistically cost about $80k. It has lots of nice avionics in it. Garmin 530w, 430w, ASPEN, stratus ADSB, shalin...

    Just got a brand new GDL39 3D. I am using it in my car a bit to play around with it. First day worked fine, but now it has my pressure altitude literally over a billion ft. I could hardly find anything about this on google. From what I read it has an internal barometer, but I don't know where...
