I am NOT superstitious

Somehow, I suspect if Jay DID put it in Atlas, in a year or two the
thing would be working like a charm.

Jay, I realize you are in a dire predicament. That's why I'm willing
to make you a great deal on the Apollo LORAN 604T from my Comanche.
It fits in a standard height radio tray, and does not appear to lock on
to anything, though it does light up and try. The selector knobs are a
little gunked up and miss clicks sometimes. It doesn't weigh much. It
hasn't been possible to update the database for years, but you won't
mind because the interface is too obtuse for you to find anything in the
db anyway.

Think of it as an avionics lightning rod for your panel.

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).

None of it is Narco, obviously.

Actually, the audio panel, both VORs, both COMS, and the DME are ALL Narco.

I really don't know what everyone bitches about them for -- they've worked
well for me.

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.

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.

you are braver than I. 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*

Jay, when you go, can I have your boots? What size do you wear?

Got pics of the panel yet? Let's see them.

Both radios (one new), both VORs (one new), both GPS's (one new), the

the engine analyzer (new), the fuel flow meter, the gas gauges, the oil
pressure and temperature gauge, the DG (new) , the AI (new), the altimeter,
the autopilot, the CD player (new), every single toggle switch, both
rheostats (just replaced one Friday), and EVERY GOD-DANGED LIGHT BULB in the
panel now works.

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. Maybe Jay
needs to worry about CFIFS or "Controlled Flight Into Flat Stuff".

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.
