    Bahamas Island Hopping 2018

    Great video and so glad you liked the house! We have made a lot of improvements on it and it is slowly getting there. The wifi is still a problem. We were there last week and the telephone company said that we were a number one priority and would take care of it asap. That is island time for...

    HELP / FREE

    Those are the best words I thought I could use to get everyone's attention!! But they are true: HELP- I am doing a mini upgrade to my 340: having professionals add engine monitors, an aspen, a G5 on the FO side, and fixing the autopilot. While they are doing that, the wife and I have been...

    GNS 480 (CNX 80) End of Service Life

    I bought a twin cessna with a 480 and a 430 W in it. I have had plenty of experience with a 430 W in my Mooney. It took some getting used to but once I learned the 480 it is a superior box. The history of the device from UPS avionics is interesting and will certainly fan the fire of Garmin...

    Garmin 430 Install Cost

    Avionics shops are goldmines right now. It is a steep price but it is what they can get. Supply and demand. It is very steep though. I had a 430W installed in my Cessna 340 and it took one guy two days. Haven't had an issue in two years- it was a quality job. He was an honest guy and...

    Garmin Aera 796?

    My wife and I are both pilots. She has a yoke mounted ipad. I use a yoke mounted 796. The 796 is great. It gives you a lot of information very quickly. Satellite weather, satellite music, adsb traffic in. A great performer. The only knock I have on it is that it is not adequately cooled...

    Just Started Training, Already Concerned

    Students and teachers (in aviation, medicine, karate, manners, anything really) should always remember that you can learn something from everyone. Sometimes you learn how not to do things from some people

    Looking for a wx-500

    I'm doing a panel upgrade (low budget) to my Cessna 340. The wx-500 stormscope is inop. I have analyzed the error messages and it points to the processor (box). I contacted L3 and it is $650 to bench test it and then $1800 to repair it regardless of the problem. That seems a little steep to...

    Why should I not buy a Cessna 421.??

    Yes, fuel management is a little dodgy. You can toggle the fuel gauge indicator on mine and see how much is in the auxes. That may be a little late advice! I also have the nacelle tanks on mine but only one has a gauge!

    Why should I not buy a Cessna 421.??

    I was torn between a 421 and a 340 and ended up buying the best fit for me at the time which was a 340. I am not wealthy enough to buy a TBM and I think the 421 is a less expensive plane mile for mile than the king air 90. I would discount "cool factor," because I've never been cool and...
