Greetings all, I upgraded my ForeFlight to the performance version and that comes with built out performance profiles for aircraft that they claim is directly from the owners manual or operating standards for each aircraft applicable. I have a C172, H model, and the performance profiles don't...

You agree to pay for a normal pre-buy inspection. It should not be any where near 40 hours/$5000. You agree on a price with the seller that is contingent upon a clean bill of health. In the event there are issues, aka not 100% clean, you are back to negotiations and you are out the pre-buy cost...

Very nice aircraft! Enjoy.

All, When trying to do database concierge with my GTN 750 and iPad Pro via FS 510, I am having an issue where the GTN is not seeing the updates that I have downloaded to the iPad. I'm running the latest version of everything, both iOS and Garmin Pilot, and have, per the Garmin Pilot app, the...

A few questions for you guys. Should I install a FlightStream 210 module or just buy a FS 510 card instead? I'm thinking about doing an engine analyzer while it's all taken apart. JPI EDM 900 or EI MVP50P are the two choices. I'm looking at about $10k installed for either.

Well guys, I went through with it. I got the price negotiated down substantially and had a good mechanic/avionics nerd help me sort out the parts, estimate installation, etc. Final avionics list: Garmin G500 PFD Garmin GTN750 #1 WAAS Navigator Garmin GTN650 #2 WAAS Navigator Garmin GMA35...

I appreciate all the feedback guys, very helpful. I'm going to go back to the boards and see if the plane can be bought for much, much less. Otherwise, it's going to be a pass at this point. Either way, I'll post on what happens. It will be a cool project if it works out. My purpose for...

It’s not like that. I’m not necessarily disagreeing or disliking what everyone is saying. Just being devils advocate a bit as it seems all replies have gone one way and are assuming this is more of a barn find that I’m asking if it’s a good idea to spend 70k in avionics on. Not exactly the case.

Look I get it, it's a lot of avionics for an old slow 172. But it's not really about that. I'm not outlaying the money for the avionics ($60k+) and tacking that on top of a $75,000-$110,000 base plane. I'm getting the whole package for that, if the numbers work out. At this point, I feel...

Appreciate the intel. It's the original 145 HP 6 cylinder continental. It passed thorough borescope and inspection. I'm still having the valves, magnets, plugs, harnesses, etc. all redone. I just got off the phone. My original post was incorrect. G500 as PFD GFC 700 autopilot GTN 750 & 650...

Hello all, Have an opportunity to purchase a super low (<1000) time 172H. I've personally inspected the plane and sent it to pre-buy inspection which came back very good with an excellent airframe report (no damage, no corrosion). It needs about $10,000-$15,000 per the pre-buy report (new...
