Re: What Tug to Get

I love my Best Tug. I bought mine last May. It was the best purchase experience I have had in a very long time. Very responsive, helpful beyond belief. This is a family business with very high standards. This is definitely not a typical problem with Best Tug. Covid has presented everyone with challe...

Re: iPad mounting

Has anyone tried the Diamond I pad mount? I saw the pics. / mounting instructions a year or so ago but have not heard or seen anything more. I had Diamond install the Ipad mounts on both sides while it was in for my ADSB upgrade. I love them, both. I use my Ipad on my side and my wife uses the garm...

To my surprise she lost 10lbs.
Everyone like more useful load. :D

Re: The G1000 project - "The next step"

I just got the GFC700 upgrade installed in my DA42. Diamond Quoted 350 hrs for the job. It took them longer. There is a lot more to changing the autopilot than we imagine. Not a simple upgrade. I have no regrets, no comparison to the KAP140 I believe that the resale value increased as much as I inv...

Re: The G1000 project - "The next step"

I have been on the “lookout” for a pair of GIA63W LRUs for some time. I finally located, and purchased, a pair. I took them to a Garmin dealer and asked that they be sent to Garmin to be overhauled and recertified, as required, for which I was willing to pay, of course. Garmin flat out refused to t...
