Luis Claudio: please say again the weight of the TQ Aviation xpdr-? If it was $1413 for that little weight, it's getting up into the price of gold per ounce ;o) As a no electrics/nordo airplane pilot, I don't much concern myself with avionics, but I do watch prices and capabilities since the d

I kinda like both, a header tank around 4 gallons (one hour) and wing tanks that tranfer to the header. Gravity feed on my C172 never failed. Some may have but gravity itself has never stopped so far as I can tell. Fuel pumps do. NTSB reports are full of failed fuel pumps. And some plugged up s

If you already have a functional transponder and encoder, then the Echo UAT paired with the SKYFXY-ext as your GPS source is one of the most reasonably priced solutions. Add power, mount the UAT Out antenna and the GPS antenna, make a run through the configuration menu from your phone or tablet

That is the main reason I haven't gone with the proposed King KT74 transponder and even if it does add ADSB capability, it would still requ

Here's another argument against header tanks that occurred to me yesterday as I was struggling to access some wiring on a plane with a header tank. All of the space that a header tank (mounted in the "forward deck") occupies gobbles up a lot of valuable space that could otherwise be used for b
