Ok, how much would they charge *me*?

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money prolonging
the problem.

Fantastic, do you think if I took my sailboat to him, they might do it? ;-)

George, for you they need to charge a PREMIUM! :~).

He quoted me 800-1000 just for seats in my Warrior. The guy DOES however do
nice work.

Well, my friends who bought our old Warrior asked him to do theirs -- and he
told them that the hides for the seats alone would cost them $600.00.

It pays to be patient...

thats pretty sharp...from the pics it looks like they did a good job...

BTW are you in the market for a GPS, I see you didnt have anything
mounted on the windshield center bar so thought you may want to add a
back up to the back up there :)

Jay, you didn't mention what type foam was used for the seats.

[Jay Honeck]

Regular upholstery seat foam. Nothing fancy -- my upholstery guy has a dim
view of the expensive (I.E.: Oregon Aero) stuff. He says that many of his
customers ask him to remove that stuff -- apparently it's not comfortable
for some?

When you always have two pilots on board, it's really nice to have two GPSs.

The Lowrance Airmap 300 on the co-pilot's yoke no longer "sees" the airport
database -- which is why we replaced it with the AvMap. However, it still
functions just fine -- so we programmed in all of our "regular" airports as
waypoints, just like we used to do with our first "boating" GPS.

And when our directional gyro went Tango Uniform, we configured the Airmap
to be a faux DG.

All in all, it's nice to have -- if for no other reason than Mary can yell
at me when I'm off course by more than 5 degrees! :-)

GPS's are great, I will probably keep my garmin 295 (my garmin 430 installation
is going to be done tomorrow for sure) as a backup, plus its good for sitting at
home and doing my flight planning on it.
The only thing my wife care about on the GPS is the ground speed and ETA
the faster the GS the shorter the ETA :)

Wow. Looks nicer than the inside of my Acura.

Did you have "nasa foam" or other chiropractic adjustments done to the front
seats? My ass goes to sleep after a couple hours and I've been wondering if
I should add more padding myself (hello buffet!) or rehab the seat.

The only cure for that would be to remove the seat and replace it with a
bicycle type saddle, while you are at it you can also add a bicycle crank
and pedals. This way when your engine goes Tango Uniform you will still be
able to power the prop.

Glad that I could help!

No fancy foam -- but he DID install a big chunk of foam at the base of each
seat for lumbar support.

That thirty cents worth of foam rubber makes an amazing difference on a long
(or short, for that matter) flight.

I kept my Garmin 195 on the yoke when I got the 430. The 195 has better VNav
than the 430, for example. Garmin says they are more restricted on what they
can put on an IFR approved unit. The "glide slope needle" on the 195 HSI page,
of course, would not be allowed on the 430. The 195 has more complete
city/road identificaton. Don't know that I would but a 195 if I already had a
430, but there are several reasons for keeping it.

Do you still get the airspace and/or obstructions/navaids/roads/anything
else?

Nope. Well, we get the basic topographic database, with rivers and some
roads.

Nah, it's an internal failure in the Airmap 300. It WILL work if you leave
the GPS in the enclosed cockpit on a hot day, and heat it to something over
100 degrees. I suppose whatever hairline crack is causing the problem
expands shut, makes the connection, and *poof* all is well....

....until the unit cools back down to ambient temperature. Then you lose the
database again. It doesn't matter which data slot you put the cartridge in.

Lowrance is aware of the problem, and refuses to support the unit, despite
it being only four years old. Which is why we chose not to purchase the
Airmap 500 or 1000.

Drat,

I was ready to buy a 500 because it seemed like a good value and I was hoping it would hold me until somebody came out with a nice
color handheld for under a grand.

I hate people that don't back up their stuff so I guess Garmin still gets the nod. In fact I had a cheesy boat GPS that the internal
battery died after 4 years. I sent it back and they fixed it for free. In fact I expected to pay but they said it shoulda lasted
longer and so they made it right

My Garmin GPSMAP 196 is nice, but I'll decide whether I'm happy with their
customer service when I find out what they intend to do about the bug I
reported. See "who moved SAV, forgot to tell Jepp?" on rec.aviation.ifr

In Lowrance's defense, their supplier stopped making the chips -- so what
can they do?

Understanding their plight doesn't make it right, however; it still means
they lose my business.

Go get yourself the color AvMap. The extra money will only hurt for a
little while (!), and the difference in screen size, detail, and utility is
striking.

Darn Christmas list is up over 35 grand.

I guess I could start by asking for a new panel and autopilot and settle for a color Avmap! Or would that be considered a stocking
stuffer?

Nah, it's too big for a stocking stuffer!

Not like those itty-bitty Garmins at all... ;-)
