My experience of dealing with member's problems suggest that in reliability, they are second only to the small panel mount COMs, and somewhat better than several well known names, due to the relatively modern engineering and electronic design Cheers, Bill Hamilton At 01:29 AM 22/02/2006, you wrote: --> Avionics-List message posted by: "D.

Thank You From: "rc51mike" --> Avionics-List message posted by: "rc51mike" My cousin, Marcy Randolph, was on the Cessna 182, plane number N2700Q with the pilot, William Westover, flying from Deer Valley to Sedona on 9/24 that has been missing since that same Sunday afternoon. The Civil Air Patrol has been searching since Tuesday 9/26. The Phoenix police are also continuing the search. We the family are trying to touch people personally. We so greatly appreciate the energy and time you have given us and are overwhelmed by the support and caring of everyone we have come in contact with. That said we still dont have the plane. My request to you is outlined on the website under what you can do. Basically, we want to rally any private pilots, any charter pilots, any forestry individuals, medical carriers, flight school instructors and students, and anybody else that might have a reason to be in the air and provide eyes in the sky in the general northern Arizona region to be aware and keep their eyes and ears open. Additionally, knowing that a great number of you enjoy the beautiful outdoors of Arizona, either for hunting, camping, ohv riding, etc., we are asking that you be acutely aware of this missing plane, and rally everyone that might be on the ground in the general area. By providing areas you might have been, we can help narrow the profile and thin the veritable haystack in which we are trying to find the needle. Think outside the boxany information is good information. At 9 days and counting, time is not on our side. We have recent information that a plane was spotted briefly on radar approximately 4 miles west of Payson at around 12:15pm 9/24. This may or may not be relevant. The website for information exchange is http://www.N2700Q.com. Details of the LKP are contained in the introduction. Please take the flyer that is posted and distribute to your folks for briefing or feel free to forward this message to anyone you think might be able to assist us in our search. Your assistance and prayers are most appreciated.
