Some time ago there was a discussion about in flight relief systems or.....
the needing to pee and no where to land. An acquaintance suggested a system
that some of our cross country pilots might be interested in. The system is
designed for people (men) with incontinence so the kits may have more than
you might want or need but they sell individual parts.

Why, Richard, real men (I always liked that from my John Wayne days), don't
need t no medical thingey. Let go and the air will dry your slacks. That or
wear a dark blue pair of pants! HA, Ha! Or tell your friends on the ground
when they ask: "It was quite a thrilling ride today with them thermals and
all".

I've used the Lowrance 2000 for a few months. Best value for a GPS under 1K
(by 1 dollar) great graphics and quick draw rate. I shot a few IFR
approaches with it in heavy stuff (of course having real steam gages ILS
an-all as back up). Big screen nothing but good about it.
You can add terrain avoidance features to it. It may be over kill for flying
a Kolb, but like extra HP, if you need it its there.

Any opinions out there (silly question) on the best overall GPS unit for
our
type flying? I like the Garmin pilot lll but they are hard to come by now.
Looking at the Garmin 96 and Lowrance 500 but have not been able to see
actual
units yet. Any one using either?

You are shooting IFR approachs in a Kolb in heavy IMC conditions? Wow that's

For our type of flying, an aviation GPS is not really necessary. I use a Garmin
76, and before that the 12XL and the 45. Each was designed for Marine and recreation,
and cost in the $150 range. The main thing we need is to not get lost
and know how long it will take us to get to the next gas station, for fuel planning.
These simpler unit do that very well. Nothing wrong with spending more
money, if you really want to, or if you really teavel a lot, it just isn't necessary
for the flying that most of us do.

I use an old Magellan GPS with an aviation database... Unfortunately, Magellan
doesn't update the database, so I cross-check it to a current chart before I
rely on the airspace depiction... So far, so good...

John, well put and thank you. I use a Garmin e-map. I was looking seriously
at the Garmin GPSMAP 172 for around $349 on the internet, new from several
sites. The screen is much larger than the e-map or 96 units and does the job
quite well for a grey shade unit. When you think about it, we as fliers
don't need the complexity of road by road guidance. As a matter of fact,
like the boating community we go "rubber band". Cookies still get laid down,
satellites still give us our position and if you have a map system, roads
and references still exist. As with my no longer produced unit, the Map
source "Roads and Recreation" include ALL airports private or otherwise. Are
they current? I don't know, but for my purposes, this unit should work
exactly like a boat in the air with a road map below that includes altitude
and airports and compass. Go figure! Now, this unit also comes with a mount,
a power cable, a waterproof case, data card capability, WAAS enabled, 3000
waypoints, 10,000 active track points, 50 routes, sends with receives and
displays positioning data with DSC-equipped VHF radio's, Tracks back with
the touch of a button, and (drum roll please) comes complete with a external
antenna!!! (P.S. Garmin, if your monitoring, please send check and new 172
unit for free to me).
I know that John H. and his travels (and they are many) suggests the Garmin
96 or above. They aren't in the budget for most mortal common man. I also
don't know if flying the way I will be flying would need such
sophistication. Maybe in time I will change my thinking but for now, most of
my flying will be within 100 mile range and the terrain, as well as altitude
would be more critical to me when I fly low. Through a mountainous region,
I'm not sure.

I'm glad that I could point you in the right direction. Would you mind
telling us what you found and how you fixed it? Did you just tighten the
nut or did you have to replace the cone or use thread locker?? Which
model gearbox? This kind of information should be shared and archived.

To David Lehman;
Depending on which version of the Magellan GPS
that you are using, you may find a very good, very
current database to upload into your Magellan at:
http://home.stny.rr.com/bkw/315/
I've been using this website for a couple years &
I think this guy deserves a medal. Totally free.
And lots of choices about the data you want to
have in your GPS.
Good Luck,
George Bass

Thanx George...
I do know about Brian's site and yes, he does deserve a medal... Unfortunately
for me, he states; "As far as I know, my database does not fit any other Magellan
receivers, such as the Skyblazer, Skystar, Skystar Plus, 330, or anything
in the Meridian series." and I'm the lucky recipient of a Skystar Plus... Woe
is me...
Thanx again...

I would get an aviation GPS lilke the Garmin 196 , or even the 195 can be had for
about 250 bucks on ebay. The advantages to these moving map GPS units is
that you know where the airports are, and can also see the boundries of airspace.
If you fly in new or congested areas, being able to see those airspace boundries
can save you from getting into a lot of trouble [Shocked]
