I've owned a handful of singles and 2 twins, a Cessna 310 and now currently a non-turbo Aztec "E" model. The pro's highly outweigh the con's on an Aztec. Extremely reliable, built like a tank, bulletproof de-rated -540 engines, tons of room and useful load( mine is 1950lbs), maintenance seems to...

Looking for a Piper Aztec C, D or E. Prefer non-turbo. Tired of looking at overpriced junk or owners that think their timed out engines still make the airplane worth twice what it is... If you have or know of a clean Aztec available please let me know! I'm well aware of what's on the market...

What are the main differences between the 450 and the 450A ?

Nice! Thanks for the info, I'll give him a shout. I'm on BT do you know his username?

The PSE 8000G just came out in September so not sure it's obsolete yet.... The 450A does more than I really need. I just want a clear intercom, simplicity and Bluetooth. The added USB charger in the G makes sense as well.

Thanks for the replies fellas. This is why I like to post on here! I'm going with an 8000 series for sure. I've opted against the 450A for now.

Hey All- I have decided to install a PSE 8000Bti or 8000G and got a quote from a well known avionics shop for install. They want almost $4,000 just for Labor! That's roughly twice what the unit is going to cost. The labor would include replacing my existing 4 place jacks and wiring with new...

Mark, thank you for the reply! It is awesome to know that you frequent the message boards here and provide support. That solidifies my decision to purchase a PSE product. I wonder if Garmin folks even know this board exists! Anyways, OK thanks for the input so now I need to figure out if I need...

Thanks for the replies guys. Now I just to figure out if the 450A is worth the extra $500 over a BTi. I really really like the idea of having a usb charging port

I'm about to have a new PS Engineering audio panel installed in my Super Viking and wanted to get some thoughts on which way to go. I want to stick with one of these options below. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! 8000BT 450A 8000G

Could be a Spencer air car. Looks a whole lot like a seabee.

I'm trying to get some oxidation and water spots out of some paint and I'm having no luck... I've tried a couple types of gritty wax and cleaners which don't seem to touch it, in fact it almost seems to make it worse.. When I put the wax on and then go to hand buff it's almost like the wax won't...

Serious question... I'm curious as to why you thought the airplane wouldn't fly well? What did you see in the documentary that would make you think this... I'm not talking about the complicated driveshaft/gearbox setup(I agree they were asking for trouble from that), I'm talking about...

What an awful thing to say, especially today... I bet you wouldn't say that to the faces of the pilots family. Or to the faces of all the dedicated men and women who spent the last 7 years dedicated to this project. Go troll somewhere else..

To reverse engineer an airplane that originally never flew, was extremely complicated with no available plans and very little documentation and then fly it! I would say that's a pretty large task to overcome and a piece of aviation history... What have you done lately?

Such a great accomplishment in the history of aviation. So sad, RIP. Some of the video I've seen sure looks like it wasn't performing very well. I'm not sure they've flown in the heat like we're having here in Oklahoma. It's been almost 90deg by 9am every day.

Oops. Didn't see that. How do I delete this thread?

I honestly think it was a very short time span between when the airplane stalled and when the impact occurred. I doubt there was enough time for her (or any pilot) to realize what was happening, take action, pull the handle and then for the chute to deploy with that low of altitude.

Sorry, going to speculate here and sorry if this has been brought up already. I've been hearing reports that the engine quit or at least was not making much power prior to impact. Some of the vid I've seen sure looks like a windmilling prop. I wonder if a tank ran dry on that last go around then...
