Re: DA42 Exhaust clamp AD and the "25 hour inspection" following compliance

Thanks for the update - our plane is 5 hours from the mandatory inspection, following the spring washer installation - I'll post the results once the inspections are completed on the two brackets. I heard that the new exhaust pipes arn't available yet?! I would be interested in installing them also ...

Re: DA42 vortex generators

Thanks! I have a 2008 DA42 that will be used for multi engine training occasionally - I've been considering installing them. How long was the install - 1 day? Sounds relatively easy to do?! Glad to hear the performance met the "advertised" numbers!

Re: uAvionix Scout and Stratux ADS-B receivers

I just received a "Cyber Monday" email from them - about $40 less than I payed a month ago for the same device and it now includes the mount and hard carrying case! Darn! (You still need to purchase a battery and USB/mini USB connection cord) https://iflygps.us2.list-manage.com/track/click...

Re: uAvionix Scout and Stratux ADS-B receivers

Hi Tom -
I have a Stratux receiver......works well except the AHRS feature will not work in Foreflight.
AHRS works well on included web based app and also using iFlyGPS app.
Too bad Foreflight won't allow the AHRS to work for attitude info in their app.
