| Subject: | Hammock Mod, MX20 |
Are there any downsides to the Hammock engine mods, putting a 260hp in an
older Bonanza (E35)? I understand they beef up the airframe as part of
the mod, but I am wondering if anyone has experienced any downsides to
this.
Also, I am not real familiar with the Garmin MX 20, but I am wondering if
the fact that this unit has been discontinued by Garmin affect its value
and utility? Can you still get updates etc? Is it still supported by
Garmin?

don't know if you're open to alternative suggestions or not george, but
if you are (especially if starting with an E-225-8), i have direct
experience + 150 hrs in a c35 bonanza with the aviation research mod
(STC) to put o-470 cylinders on an e-225 case (they have a web-site, and
firm is located in Sandy, Or.)
works very well (163 kts, 1500 fpm, 11 gph) with no airframe mods
required except those related to baffling. the only downside i've
experienced is cylinders run a max of 300 deg F, not as warm as i would
like.
if you want more info..., e-mail/call is fine.
wrt garmin-mx-20, no info. but directly related - have a 15 yr old
Garmin IFR GPS155 (not the newer 155XL), purchased when Garmin came out
w/ their first IFR unit. Garmin does not support maintenance or
repairs, but my local radio shop (Tacoma, WA) took care of it no
problem, new battery, minor parts, alignment, and it works great.
