I'm having an issue with my altitude hold on the STEC 30 autopilot. I do not have electric trim so I manually adjust to up/down trim notices. The issue is that after a few minutes I get a trim down indication that I adjust for, then a trim up indication that is followed by both trim up and...

I've upgraded my panel and have a gently used Open Solutions Flightbox for sale. Unit has the high gain antennae and remote mounting kit. I bought it assembled, no DYI guy here. Only used it a few times and no issues. Original purchase was $371. I'll take $175 and pay shipping to U.S. address.

Posted a nav/comm for sale and it has been sold. How do I remove that post from the classifieds? How do I remove this post? Thanks.

If anybody is interested, just listed a McCoy 1700 Nav/Comm on EBay. The MAC1700 is a slide in replacement for the KX170B and KX175. It was my primary comm until I upgraded the panel. Stores 10 pre-selects for comm and Nav. Voice synthesized timer, etc.

This is going to sound crazy, but please bear with me. I had a Garmin 430W installed in my Cherokee. Also installed a cooling fan and new WAAS antenna. I have tested it on numerous GPS approaches. Between 12-7 miles from my home airport (OJC) I lose all GPS signal. When I am within a mile or two...

I have purchased a Garmin 430W and antenna for my Cherokee. Still need the CDI. The following have been recommended by the avionics shop: KI 206, GI 106/106a, Collins 351a, KI209a. Is one of these preferable over the others and why? Also, cost is always an issue. Is Ebay a good source or...

I have an SEC-30 autopilot in my Cherokee 140. It's been pretty bulletproof but developed an issue today that I was hoping someone could give me some insight on. I do not have electric trim. So, the trim up/down light and aural alert come on when the altitude hold needs a little trim help...

I have been using XM weather for several years on my Garmin 496, but now that all of the antenna locations are up and running am considering buying the Stratus II ADSB receiver. I have not personally seen the ADSB weather displayed on the iPad but have been told that XM is a better and more...

This may be old news but if not........ When you file your IFR flight plan with Foreflight AND you have not entered your own personal DUATS information in the "settings", the flight plan is filed using Foreflight's DUATS account. The end result is that your name is shown on the flight...

This is what I do. Come join the party! :thumbsup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXQR_hB7V5A&feature=player_embedded

iFlightPlanner was mentioned in passing on a recent thread. Although I REALLY hope that Navmonster comes back soon, iFlightPlanner isn't too bad. I still miss the intuitive functions of the Tripkit in Navmonster and all of the goodies it provides. I am using the free version of iFlightPlanner...

Hi folks. I checked the archives but couldn't find anything, so I'll throw my question out. I'm going to Fort Worth, Texas in a couple of weeks and will be staying in the Sundance area. Where is a good, friendly, and cost effective airport to fly into? Not flying any big iron, just my little...

:confused: Can anyone point me to a place where I can get information on pricing used avionics that I may need to sell? I keep running into dead ends by doing my usual Google search. I have a friend who is upgrading his panel and would like to sell his existing avionics himself (with my...

I just want to publicly thank Dr. Bruce Chien for the above-and-beyond the call of duty help he offered a friend of mine in pursuing his aviation medical. My advice to my friend was simple: be 100% honest and follow Dr. Chien's instructions to the letter and, if humanly possible, it will work...

I had an unusual occurrence today flying my friend's C182 and thought I would seek some opinions. I was on an IFR flight plan, although the weather was CAVU and was about an hour and a half into a three hour flight when the alternator failed. Multiple attempts to get it back on line failed. I...

This may be a stupid question, but I'm curious why most of us park our airplanes in the hangar tail first. It's not like we are going to scramble the fighters for quick response. When you think about it, it's probably easier to pull it into the hangar nose first. You can get closer without...

Anybody know what happened to the Navmonster website? I use it a lot and it has been offline for the last two days. Dear Lord, please don't tell me I'm actually going to have to work to plan a flight! :yikes:

I flew with a friend last week who had the iPad with all three of the aviation apps (ForeFlight WingX & MyCast). At least he had the trial versions of each. He tended to rate them in this order: WingX, MyCast, Foreflight. We never got a chance to talk much about it, but it seemed that he...

Has anybody got an electric tow machine that they want to sell or can anybody recommend a good place to get a good unit? It would have to be able to move a Cirrus SR22 in and out of the hangar on relatively flat ground. While I'm at it, can any of you offer a PIREP good or bad on different...
