OK… I’ve investigated PCA’s big avionics shop and “discovered” the Garmin G3x. Oh oh! Now my upgrade bill just hit the ozone, and I am really torn. Anybody done some drastic big PFD upgrade to their entire instrument panels? I may go that route if I can find some more $$. Seeking any thoughts, and many thanks again, for those of you that…[Read more]

Thanks for the help Ed! My IA says that 2 of the 8 bushings were eccentric, and installed on the same flap … didn’t make sense to him. All the others are normal roller type bushings, so he’s in a quandry. So am I, I guess I will have to try and find one of the experts in the field to shed some light for us…

Chris-I have not had any issues with the bushings. My IA found a bolt installed backwards that was casing the flap to bind when it extended but it was easily rectified. Do the bushings look like off the shelf? Perhaps Dave Smith or Nelson Harding can respond.

Ashley – has your install helped as you expected? I hope you can add some pics like Ed asked, and anxiously await some more details about the mod. Chris

Does anyone have input about digital panel upgrades? STC’s, 337 troubles? I’ve seen pictures with nice digital instrument panels, how’d you do it? Thanks

Hi Everyone. It looks like a good hit for the TruTrak A/P for us. 7 in just the first few months and I’ll bet at least another 10 – 20 more if we could get the word out to those that aren’t routinely on this site.
I wonder about the status, Dean, have you any information? Many folks are redoing panels these days due to the ADSB requirements,…[Read more]

Hi Greg,

I did show my 200D to a interested person who is 6″6″ and I also fly with a neighbor who is 6″4″. neither had any problem with head or shoulder room. However, the first person had long legs which put his knees at the bottom of the yoke with the seat adjusted full back. I believe some owners have replaced their seats which, if coupled…[Read more]

JPI 930 for 200D now is stc

Ashley-please post pics once the install is done.

Sent you a PM Chris

Hope that I get a bit more help than Mark did. I hope it all worked out… what did you end up doing?
I am needing to upgrade my panel. ADSB makes us get under that panel, might as well get it all in shape. My stuff is all quite dated, and a total panel u/g could be in the works. It is a huge question to ask simply “what should I get”, but…[Read more]

Has there been any further progress in what style/procedure would be the preferred replacement method for our faulty lenses? Mine are pretty ratty and I would love a simple replacement option… Thanks.

Hi Dean, is there an update on the progress of this a/p situation? Due to ADSB situation, I am looking at the major panel u/g and would like to jam in an a/p if able at the same time! Thanks.
