Re: Battery minder

+1 for Battery Minder. Plugged in whenever my plane is in the hangar. I am convinced it extends battery life. Attached near the oil filler tube, same as my engine heat.

Re: Alternator slow to wake up

Hi one last call before I have the voltage regulator replaced. The alternator refurb shop my mechanic uses thought that the alternator might have a weak spring in it so we pulled it and sent it back. He replaced the brushes and bearings but thought it otherwise looked fine. Re-installed on the airpl...

Did you take the wheel fairings off?

Re: Ipad Mini Mount Recommendations for DA 40

Just curious, but I believe you can get most or all of your instrument rating in your DA-20 depending on how it is equipped if you want to save some money and get it done more quickly. Downside is that you won't get any 'actual' and some of your ATC communications will be 'simulated' (like they woul...

Re: DA40 WAAS Upgrade Demand

By your aircraft registration, you have a 2012 model, correct? The new baffle design would have long since been included by this year I believe. I am not an expert so somebody please correct me.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III

I believe I asked before but I will be skeptical until I see it - will GDU Version 15 support the KAP? It would be re-assuring to get a recent confirmation. Yes, GDU v 15 will support KAP140. In addition, it will support different versions of GIA63W (not only -01). It will not support GIA63. Thank ...
