Can you manually open the squelch on your receiver? If so, is the noise present when there is no transmission being received? If so, I suspect that the adapter that powers your iPad is emitting lots o ...

Having said that, I wonder if there is an easy way to get an autopilot for the 690 series approved for the 680V, since they are both under the same type certificate? I've seen the Bendix M4 and the Be ...

Hi Adam,

As far as I know, the only two autopilots that are approved for the pre-690 turboprops are the S-Tec 65 and the original Honeywell H-14. Rate-based autopilots like the S-Tec are not as pre ...

Hi Adam,

On the 680T/V/W/681, the spinners are painted fiberglass, whereas I believe they are aluminum on the 690 and up. I don't know if the backing plates and spinners from a 690 will fit over yo ...

Hi Adam,

Feel free to con ...

Turbines are way more reliable than pistons, and if they're maintained and

Hi JB,

I’m definitely in favor of having the TCFG Fly-In at Reno this year. I’d like to have one more opportunity to experience the Air Races.

Is it this one? Cut and paste these coordinates into Google Maps and zoom in:

37.690789,-121.810109

If so, it looks like a bathtub-nacelle Commander.

Hi Moe,

Is it possible that the roller bearing is an industry standard part? And if the bearing is chattering, how is the shaft holding up?

Hello,

I know this is probably a long shot, but I am looking for a good, used,
serviceable KMH 820 or 920 TAS/TAWS unit. It doesn't have to be
yellow-tagged, just serviceable.

Thanks,
Stan
