Re: ADSB In/Out

Re: ADSB In/Out

I talked to numerous Garmin reps this week at Oshkosh, they told me that they are currently working on both the hardware and software solutions for both WAAS and non-WAAS G1000 Diamonds. They are projecting to make this available early next year.

Re: Ram Mount Sun Visor

I flew with on of my visors today, I think that the plane is too tight for 2 visors and I am still using my stick on shields for non vision sun areas.

Re: Ram Mount Sun Visor

Latest update: Good Day, I would like to offer my sincerest apology for the long delay on your order.

Re: AHRS / Heading Indicator Gremlin

I guess you guys are motivating me to get a good weather day and do a little checking on my own. Unfortunately most of my experience with the shops have been with parts changers instead of with true mechanics. This afternoon I signed up with Savvy Aviators. It will be interesting to see how they add...
