    E/AB IFR Panel Build Suggestions

    Does the G3X touch have any features different from a standard G3X other than the ability to finger it? Would a standard G3X dual 7" be worth it at $3k used vs ~$6500 new for G3X touch? Will it still drive the auto pilot and all accessories?

    E/AB IFR Panel Build Suggestions

    This is what I fly with now. Literally the CAP C-172 on the ramp outclasses our NAV capability.

    E/AB IFR Panel Build Suggestions

    Harmon Rocket. That's the thing, I'm not sure. Not a lot of panel space but I don't really have a preference for either. Mostly a capability per dollar requirement. I've only flown planes with traditional type setups. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give him a call. I'm not worried on...

    E/AB IFR Panel Build Suggestions

    What I'd love is to find for engine monitoring is a single lever FADEC system to run a 300hp engine, but the only thing I've found is the Lycoming IE2. That's a lot more engine and a lot more price than I want.

    Yes, sorry, omitted that. All of the above. Two seater.

    E/AB IFR Panel Build Suggestions

    I've come across a fresh airframe without any avionics I'm considering. I'd like to price a panel and autopilot for it but I don't know much about GA avionics in general and less about the experimental possibilities. I'm definitely looking for solid state: HSI, EADI/flight director, LPV...

    For Sale Lightspeed PFX overstock Sale!

    You know, I even looked at those the other day and had it backwards in my head which way they adapted. *derp* I wonder how long a single 9v would last since I hear the pfx inhales batteries.

    For Sale Lightspeed PFX overstock Sale!

    That's what I'm curious about, if the LEMO headsets are still capable of running on their own batter power. Do they still have all of the same bits and pieces of the normal ones, just with the addition of a panel power plug?

    Do the LEMO headsets still have the option to be battery powered? The plane I'd be using these most often in is panel powered but I'd still want to use them for GA as well.

    Navmonster

    It's been so long I can't remember, but I think it was NavMonster that used to allow you to input a speed and it would plug that into the winds aloft section giving you a speed and ETA for different altitudes. Loved that feature. Don't see it on there now.

    Planning a nice true cross-country flight

    AEX has decent food at the FBO. If you're fine with going a little south CWF has an outstanding po'boy and a freezer full of frozen goodies. Also ARA has some of the best food I've ever eaten. It's usually a catfish filet, fried creamed corn, fried cheese sticks, and a pasta or gumbo of some...

    "New" VW diesel?

    After doing some research, it seems that the only "side effect" of the fix is an increased consumption of DEF. They had turned the amount down so it would last until the 10k service rather than install a bigger tank. The articles I've looked at say that the mileage is pretty much the same, but...

    I wouldn't know, we never flew it at full rental power. ;)

    Interested in Harmon Rocket 2

    Right, I was using HR2 and Rocket interchangeably. I have not looked at the F1 Rocket at all.

    "New" VW diesel?

    Yea, they had to stop selling them when their emission issues came to light. They're selling them as new now because they have fixed them, and still have 0 miles on them.

    Interested in Harmon Rocket 2

    My understanding is that they're the same from the passenger backrest aft, but Rocket from there forward. It's not so much about riding in one as it is having other people bring up ideas I'm not seeing because I'm too close to the transaction. Riding in one right now would only make me want it...

    "New" VW diesel?

    I am as much of a diesel fanatic as they come. I have a 96 Passat TDI that I don't ever plan on getting rid of. That being said, I'm in the market for a car for my mom. She is interested in the new 2015s that are being sold now. I am wondering if the are worth buying with other gasoline cars...

    Interested in Harmon Rocket 2

    Curious about the HR2. I'm looking to buy a plane and love the specs, but I wanted to get the perspective of some other people out there. I can count on one finger the number of times I've flown with 3 or more people in 150hrs of GA flying. I've become addicted to the speed of the planes I've...

    Flying through MOA and restricted areas

    Just make sure you're going out on the right radio when saying your choice words. Can't count how many times I let Memphis Center know I needed lead to roll out. :arf::mad2:
