Whenever someone replaces an existing transponder with a different brand or model, is all that will be needed paperwork-wise just a logbook entry, W&B update and a new 24-month transponder certification test done? Or is this treated really obtusely and require approval of a 337 to describe the...

A friend of mine is in need of six sparkplug type of CHT probes. He bought a engine analyzer with bayonette probes, but his GO-300 won't accept those. I think that he bought the JPI one, i'm not sure what flavor probes he needs. Anybody have any laying around they would like to part with,...
