We put a garmin g3x panel in the Velocity VTwin we’ve been building. 2 460’s, 750, G5, 45R, remote com, remote audio panel. I can’t get the 460 pfd to establish the rs232 connection to and control the transponder. I verified the wiring to the right pins. It’s all wired per a Steinair diagram...

My hangar mate got a crack in the pilot side windshield on his King Air. Last year he bought some misc parts from a salvage place in MS or maybe TX. Before paying $18K for a new one he wanted to see if a used one was available. He can't remember now the name of the place he used before. Anyone...

I'm in the process of putting a Searey back together. My hangar partner bought it a few months ago in pieces in a trailer. Hopefully the pic came across. The transponder was mounted up behind the pilot. Who knows why. I've moved it to the panel. The antenna is mounted above the cockpit on the...

I broke down and bought an Android Tablet (LG Gpad) as posted in another thread .. and have been flight testing it with Garmin Pilot and a GDL39. Seems to work well. I like having my position overlaid on a sectional. I'm getting 5 to 8 ground stations ... weather ... traffic (when someone...

I'm driving up north tomorrow and I always seem to hit Nashville around 5pm. I go up I-24. Is it any faster to use Briley Pkwy (hwy 155) that skirts around to the east side of town? RT

Since it's been about 35 yrs since I'm a little fuzzy. I've read 61.63. The situation is a friend working on converting military experience to his commercial rotorcraft. He then wants to add airplane single engine land for the airplane he's building. The way I read 61.63 he needs...

Has something changed on the forums? All of a sudden I can't get in the chat with either a Win 7 PC or my Linux one. Been using it for years. Just get a blank window. RT

Today I got the renewal for AOPA and it was 31% higher than last year. I've been a member since 1979 .. but at what point is it not worth it? Are most here members? Do you think it's worth the money? RT

Today I noticed on a new Seneca at our airport there are trim tabs on the flaps. I'd never seen this before. What exactly are those for? They were bent down so as to force the flaps up. RT

An aquaintance on another forum said that the FAA had sent him a letter suspending his pilot certificate for a detached retina from several concussions. I think this was some time ago .. not recent. Now I can see them pulling a medical cert if they're aware of a deficiency .. but the pilot...

So .. my fiance's daughter takes her 4 yr old on a trip to Chicago. They go to some museums .. shop .. etc .. you know helping the local economy. On a bus ride she forgets her purse on the bus. CTA finds it and calls her after she's home. But .. they won't send it to her. Even though she said...

I would like to be able to use my Ubuntu Linux PC (10.10) here at home to connect to our office network so I can get to our iSeries. Our firewall is a Tipping Point (3Com) and uses L2TP IPSec. None of the VPN clients that show up in the package manager will do that. Any ideas? Thanks. RT

http://www.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/21002721948496/ Four people in a Seminole doesn't leave you many options if you lose an engine. Be interesting to see what they find on this one. RT

pay attention to elderly passengers? Scarey. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/11/04/canada.disguised.passenger/index.html?hpt=C1

I sure seem to have my share of excitement in front of my house. haha. This morning a little after 5 I'm sitting in my upstairs office and I hear a loud crack .. almost like a gunshot. So I went downstairs .. no lights on .. and quietly opened the front door a little and there's some idiot...

Why does the site make me continually sign in over and over while I'm browsing and posting?

I have a friend who had heart surgery so can't get his medical back for a few months. He's wanting to go with a CFI to do approaches and stay current. FAA guy says he can't do that since he doesn't have a medical. HUH????? What am I missing here? If he's not PIC what difference does it...

Well .. a couple months ago I sold my other experimental I built. I just bought a Sonex. It's already flying as I just didn't think I had another build in me right now. Maybe after I retire. Right now I just want to fly. Right now it's in a trailer on it's way from CA to Nebraska. RT

Saw Geico's completed RV12 yesterday when he brought it to the airport. Fantastic job. Way to go Larry. RT

I've decided to sell my Experimental I built 3 yrs ago. It's a lot of fun to fly but I need to concentrate on getting stuff paid off for retirement right now and don't fly it enough to warrant it just sitting out there. At some point I'll probably get back into a TC'd aircraft with IFR...
