Well, I get to wait another week for my airplane. It's going in the paint shop this Friday, and will be finished and tested next week. Yeah, I know I've waited two and a half months already, and another week isn't that big a deal...but I'm *really* getting antsy. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC ...

My club has started thinking about putting Mode-S transponders in our aircraft (3 Archers, 2 Arrows, 2 Bonanzas), to take advantage of traffic advisory information. Does anybody here have Mode-S in their plane now? Do you make use of the traffic info? How well does it work? How easy is it to...

Why not do one yourself? If it's an HP4700 it runs Windows for PDA's and should support both Java and .NET. I can send you some code to get started, at one point I was doing a clone of the one Sporty's sells (the handheld dedicated one with the terrible screen). I don't have time to deal with...

I've got several questions about the 2000c. My attempt to email Lowrance has resulted in no information so far. They did say they got the request. I've been unable to see towers displayed on the map pages as shown in the manual. I am unable to see taxiways. I've not found a description of this...

Trying to judge which will be more expensive at annual. A newer 172R or S, or going very used, back to a 172M or N 1974-1979 era. Are there a lot more potential pitfalls and expenses that will continue to add up each year at annual for spending less up front to get an older 172? I assume parts...
