    Thoughts on buying used avionics...

    Three-part question/discussion: 1) I am shopping GTN750xi; there seem to be about a $7000 savings new vs. used. I had no idea they had been out that long. Never purchased used. 2) Anyone made the switch from JPI to Garmin TXi EIS? 3) My first avionics upgrade post-pandemic - I used to...

    S-Tec better with Garmin or Avidyne?

    Nose baggage - securing stuff - what do you do?

    Just curious how you stow stuff in the nose compartment of your airplane? I only have 25lbs capacity but thought I would move items up there that aren’t needed in the passenger area. How do you secure stuff? Bungees, straps, container would love to hear.

    Do I have the math correct? v2

    This one or that one... Do I upgrade my 430 to waas and add the other stuff or just buy the GNX 375 and remove the old 330? The GNX has wifi right? I am guessing $1000 to install the GNX 375? $2000?

    June 1, 2019 what will a GNS430W cost?

    I am pretty sure I am going to purchase a GNX375 at OSHKOSH, but I have already seen prices of G430W drop $1,000 in the few days since the announcement. I figure the bottom will be around $3,000 when you figure what it takes to make a G430W equivalent to the GNX375. That’s if Garmin doesn’t...

    Can I ask anyone who has completed the Garmin upgrades how they like it?

    I go back and forth on what to do.. I also know there are hundreds of threads about how everyone has approached 2020; I think I have read them all. Currently, I am leaning towards: upgrading my 430 to waas, upgrading my 330 to waas and installing a flight stream 210 if there is money left...
