Hi Chris,
Im confused.. you have a sky beacon (which is an ADSB out transponder) + a mode
C 327? How would this duplication play together?
Thx,
Pete

spot were I am cruising at 132 knots (5100 RPM) and the takeoff and climb are
exhilarating! Still need to paint and reinstall the speed kit so maybe I will
gain an extra knot. OK, a lost a little speed but the takeoff at full weight
is much more relaxing. Need to finish this thing one day but I am having so
much fun as it is that I haven't found the time to work on it much.

support ribs, right next to the access cover. I never thought it would work
adequately being underneath the baggage floor but it has done so perfectly. All
the PAPR reports come perfect and no complaints from the FAA. I though that
once I placed stuff on top of it the GPS signal would be blocked but it has been
OK so far. Maybe if you place a lead plate on top it would be an issue but
with regular baggage not so.

Oops.... Another question: do you have a MP gauge? If so, what is the MP at 132kn@5100?
Is that wide open?
Cheers,
Pete
