Jay, I'm with on on that. I put a KX155 in last year, taking out an MX11 and a
NAV11. The Nav in the KX155 is not anywhere near as sensitive as the Narco Navs. I do like the digital flip-flop on the NAV, which is a new capability, and the fact that I now have dual glide slopes (although the second one is useless because of the location of the glideslope antenna which gets shadowed by the nose).

It's been nice knowing you. Obviously with all that stuff working, you're going to be so busy admiring your panel that you're going to CFIT. There is no T to CFI in Iowa. |

The Nav in the KX155 is not anywhere near as sensitive as the Narco Navs. I do like the digital flip-flop on the NAV, which is a new capability, I went with the new Narco Com 810, which is a slide-in replacement for the Com 120, and gives you digital flip-flop capability. It's been utterly bulletproof, and is a joy to work. Narco has been okay for me. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Having spent around $30,000 overhauling and fixing my aircraft Feb 2003 (gotta love those famous words "while you are at it..."), I still wasn't counting on an easy annual this year but, thankfully, it was. I brought the airplane into the hangar 8:30am Saturday morning and we finished it about 6pm Sunday evening. No repairs were required, just the usual lubricate, clean, etc. *phew* -- Bob Noel |

ROTFL...that's right, the sectionals are only a couple shades of green. Not
nearly as colorful as the ones us left coasters have to use.

Jay and all other owners,
To assure safe flight, have your planes blessed. Buddhist monk, available to bless airplanes: Blessing on site: cost of travel + $350.00 and a case of Corona. Blessing by phone: $12.50 and a sixpack of Bud. Blessing over the internet: buck twenty five ($1.25). Above prices are good for first three flights. Add 76 cents ($0.76) for each additional flight.

The MX11 has digital flip-flop, but it is comm only. I had a Nav 122 and a
Nav11 for the nav radios. The KX155 has digital flip-flops for both the comm and the Nav. The only feature added to my panel is the second glideslope (KI209) and the digital flip-flop on Nav1.
