| Subject: | GRT EFIS for sale |
I have two GRT Horizon I for sale. They are 7 years old and with the
exception of replacing both LCD panels recently, they have performed
flawlessly.
They come complete with ARINC, GPS, AHARS, XM Weather and Approach
Faststack wiring for Po Hub. GRT has offered me a good trade option but
I am hoping the sale would be a good deal for the buyer and open my
options at the same time.
I will take the best offer. If you are interested, email me directly.
Do not archive.

Thanks, guys... I may just stay with what I have for simplicity reasons and
based on the other feedback.

I have heard good feedback on the Goodyear tires as well. Maybe more
expensive but yet another option over the aero classics.

Never had a clearance problem.

One thing to be aware of on the Goodyears, or any other tire for that
matter, is
that the tire shape is not identical. So always always check for good
clearance.
As far as I'm concerned, there isn't anything major that would swing a
person
towards one tire or another. The expensive ones usually get more landings,
the cheaper ones usually get less...but in cost per landing it's
probably not
huge either way. Also, the retreads may weigh more, but they're still built
on name brand cores...mine have usually been Goodyear cores. So, if they
weigh more, think about it....that means there is more rubber there.
So there really isn't any big sway one way or the other.
Goodyear, AeroClassic, Retreads...so far I just find the retreads to be the
most rubber for the buck, but there isn't really anything that you can do
to make a very significant mistake in buying tires if you just get something
that's known to work ok.

Just keep in mind that the most expensive tire, the Goodyear Flight
Custom III is the heaviest tire made for any given size. Often by a
couple pounds or more per tire. I have had much better wear life with
Desser standard retreads than any other tire. I believe the retread is a
little harder compound. I do not find them any heavier than a stock new
tire. You may get any brand core. Depending on their stock and which
sales person you get, you may be able to specify which brand core you want.
