I ran into this.....there are a couple of variations....are the slide in connections the same? some units were for direct replace of original stock radios (ARC brand) such as cessna which use a flat connection as generic narcos and others have different type. also, some mk12 have glide slope...

Did you reach out to Aviation insurance resources https://air-pros.com/ I deal with Chris and he's pretty knowledgeable in such unusual request. But as GA continues to shrink, so do the insurance carriers. I was planning on flying my C172 Experimental to Cozumel MX a couple of years back and...

have not found that to be a problem so far.

If your son is motivated and you are considering buying a plane, I would suggest looking for an IFR rated experimental aircraft with a motor capable of burning car gas. There are plenty of good and well built kit planes for sale. I put an automotive engine on a Cessna and my daughter did her...

screw the 4 year aviation degree regardless of the 500 hours it may save for an ATP certificate. get a degree from an online program using your FAA certs for credit while building time, plenty of colleges give you 20-26 units for FAA Certs. You won't get the restricted lower ATP hour benefits...

I would say you may be getting overly concerned about this. When I was a DER we had certain steps in deterring acceptable replacement parts as in your situation where original parts on TC were no longer available. For what it’s worth, I would suggest following: find a switch that will fit in...

amazing that a ridiculous FAA POLICY made a small entity within FAA required an act of Congress and presidential signature to cancel it.

For a cheap and dependable back up AHRS and GPS nav that does not need to meet any TSO I would suggest considering using an old smart phone Velcro’d to instrument panel. There are plenty of free full feature EFIS apps with GPS moving map. I actually used my phone to fly across the country when I...

The performance, fuel flow and airspeed is depicted on posted inflight videos. If you believe we are doctoring the data and IAS, that’s your right. We tried using raw flight video to exhibit said data, including date and times WX conditions can be verified. Our data is not much different from...

Sorry you missed article’s description of main issues project faces…..it is not the certification process at all. It was regulatory leadership preventing us from developing the design in the first place. As a former DER, the cert process is , as you say , outlined after negotiations and such...

No, seriously, we are not that foolish. Fact is the project started out as an engineering challenge and a fun project. And it was. Our goal was to take this design, learn a lot, and evolve it to hybrid as automotive technology development allowed. We don’t have enough $ or time to both develop...

Actually, it’s anything but a scrapper from practical sense. It flys better than any c172 and fun to fly. A couple of guys built a couple of hundred hours on it and are now flying for the airlines as a result. No reason it can’t continue. Selling it exposes builder to above average liability...

sorry you got that out of the article …. Don’t see how how you came to conclusion about it being about “beeyotch”ing……article was was requested to update earlier article and it’s was intended to be factual about progress, and magazine editor found it factual and without such bias. Sorry you...

The listing states it comes with service manual and software and any auto mechanic withe ECM knowledge can work on it…. Just as any modern car.

Please explain more….. what is the difference you mention and why an auto engine cannot be a variable replacement.WW2 aircraft used auto engines. All certified diesels are auto conversions……. What’s your point? Please reference technical data so to get a better understanding of your statement...

Somewhere in the internet there's a story about a guy who did just that. He bought a bunch of components from different salvage yards on the cheap in the 1980s; a wing from here, a tail from there, ect. He rewired, re-rivited, welded, fabricated, painted the thing, even installed parts from...

just replying to a question posted by member regarding my personal, relevant, current experience with topic. as always, not promoting anything regardless of your insistence that I am.... not sure what your issue(s) are but I find you annoying.

age old question...... many believe the FAA has no budget for GA and no political pressures except from hobby groups like AOPA and EAA, compared to airlines, and they simply want GA to go away. many legacy aircraft that were scrapped or parted-out over last couple of decades could still be...

Our c172 is EXP and have first happens knowledge on subject of converting to exp. FAA uses a 1950s policy still today that basically states certified aircraft, or large portions thereof, can not be converted to exp outside of very specific purposes, and that said conversions must go through STC...
