Looking for an avionics shop in NJ or eastern PA. I want to get an IFR moving map GPS installed in my Archer. Don't have the budget for a GNS-430 or CNX-80 so I'm thinking either a KLN-89B or the Garmin GPS-155XL. Any other thoughts in that price range? I'm hoping to keep the entire bill under...

Can anyone recommend a Florida avionics shop, preferably on the S. East Coast?

Now this sicker cost me $2,400 so far I figured the worst and well it is mostly all done my pito static system dose not leak and airspeed is accurate and every thing in my panel except for 3LMB works. 3LMB will be fixed "retuned" next week when I fly it to a radio repair shop that can do the one I...

I just established the Yahoo Group: for the private, noncommercial trading of general aviation electronic devices ("avionics") between individuals for use in their own aircraft. "Trading" goes to swapping for other avionics OR trading for paper pictures of old...

I have been looking for a decent, nice size color screen GPS for under $1,000. Just recently the Lowrance Avmap 2000c has gone on sale for as little as $699! I called one of the dealers (Gulf Coast Avionics) just to check if it is a sale or a "close out" and was assured it is just a temporary...

Anybody else have this great GPS? I just got the new updates with private airports and all, but it keeps crashing. I also was hoping to add weather to it somehow.

Hello, Just wondering if we have any AvMap EKP-IV users here that can give a comparison to the Garmin x96 units. The lower price and the much larger screen make it seem pretty attractive. Although I'd like to have the XM weather capability. Any one know if this is somethiing they're working on?...

Just got off the phone with Avmap and here's their lastest: It will be a separate XM box and antenna that interfaces to the EKP-IV through the serial port. The XM box is "small" (no dimensions given) and can be stached anywhere. No mention of whether the XM box has it's own power cable or...

My engine operating manual (for my Piper Turbo Arrow III) strongly discourages pulling the power back and doing a quick descent -- it warns of engine-killing shock cooling. Sounds reasonable to me...but it (and my airplane manual) does not really seem to say how best to do a fast descent when you...

Ronnie, Kyler and other Aztec owners, if you are interested in the STC to modify your lower engine cowls, keep reading. The mod cuts the bottom cowl in front of the air box, then installs a row of cam locks for easy cowl removal. No more lying on your back with feet and arms extended trying...

Our Aztec doesn't have curtains on the windows, but the frame panels have the curtain "rods". The parts manual lists a curtain install diagram, but it's not part of the manual. It also lists a part number for an "P" shaped slider that fits into the slot in the "rod" and holds the curtain....

A good friend of mine and fellow Aztec owner recently received final approval on a STC that he's been working on for several years. The STC allows you to enclose a portion of the Aztec's tail to create an extended rear baggage compartment into the tail of the Aztec. I've seen this alteration as...

Can anyone point me to a link for Piper Service Bulletin 1051B? It is what the Aztec falp tube AD refers to for compliance (2003-09-18?). I have not been able to find it on-line. I'm trying to help someone figure out the best way to comply, but if I can't read it I can't understand what is...

Just an update on what we've been finding with our Janitrol heater. First, the spark plug isn't operating like it should. When we ground it to the side of the heater, we don't get consistent or very strong spark. If we take the spark plug off the lead and hold the lead 1/4 inch from the case, it...

Does anyone have plans or a link to info about making a baby flying bonnet? It's basically a bonnet that ties onto the baby, but is modified to provide hearing protection by adding foam/rubber earpieces and padding. I remember reading about it a couple of years ago on one of the pilot groups, but...
