I fall into that later category. I went with WingX because of their suppo
rt for integration with my Navwork adsb. With that said, I tend not to use
my iPad during flight because everything I need in on the efis. The iPad i
s truly a backup device for me.

For those of us with android devices there is Avare ..... and the cost
is reasonable. How does 'free' sound? It does everything my
AnyWhereMap does with the exception of GLS approaches. It's my backup
since I have lifetime IFR/VFR subscriptions with AWM.
It's written by volunteers and will always be free ..... no 30 day trial
periods!!!

Hi
I wish ADSB was an option for me but it is not available in Canada. I am left with
XM weather (which I am told is becoming less and less popular in the US) which
is quite spendy for wx info.
I have dual AFS 45500 EFIS screens which I really like. Unfortunately they do not
have GEOREF'd approach plates, or even just approach plates, for Canada. It
doesn't sound like that will change. Although they have support for XM weather
it is only for the US data. The Canadian XM weather does not display on their
screens. I am hopeful that this will change but it sounds like Canada is a small
market for them.
The cost of Jepp data for my 430 WAAS is quite high but I have no choice if I am
to stay legal (and safe!) when IFR. That being said, it seems strange that
I would pay for IPAD based plates & charts when they are free from many sources.
So far I am not aware of anything material that FltPlan GO can't do that I
would need.
At present I am working on getting XM weather to display on my IPAD. I would prefer,
however, that it display on my EFIS but that is not an option in Canada.
Cheers
Les

Like you I am Canadian and even though a large percentage of my flying is done
in the US I need Canadian Plates and maps.
I prefer FltPlan Go over Foreflight for a number of reasons
1. They Offer geo-referenced approach plates for Canada.
2. The can file Intl. (ICAO) cross border flight plans.
3. Multiple ADSB receiver compatibility (Sky Radar DX, which I use)
4. A record is kept of your WX self brief.
5. A complete down-loadable Canadian Flight supplement (CFS)
6. Oh yes, it is completely free of charge.
7. Is available on the Android platform as well as the iPad.
I have used FltPlan Go on an iPad Mini since it came out and seen it develop into
the user friendly EFB it is today. I also have it on my Samsung S4 smart phone
which is always with me and can easily function as a backup
Even though Foreflight do have some nice features not available at present on FltPlan
Go they don't have any of the above features all of which are important,
to me anyway.

I just replaced my dampers after 1400 hrs over 8 years. My spinner had
drooped about 1/4" below the cowl and I had an unresolved buzz. The
spinner is now flush with the top of the cowl and the buzz is reduced.
The old mounts definitely deformed. They had about a 1/8"-1/4" offset once
removed.
I shopped around and found Van's price much less than anywhere else. Sorry
I don't recall the number. I think I found it in the archives.

> I have added a 680 on the firewall as aux battery for the avionics. This allows
powering the avionics separately from the starting battery until the engine
is running. Then the alternator recharges the starting battery and trickle charges
the avionics battery on the firewall. The firewall battery is insulated
and is used to improve W&B characteristics
Just wondering if the starting battery is a 680 also, that's what I'm considering
doing and wondered about its starting capacity in this configuration or do
you have option for joining the two batteries?
...Also from PC680 info website-
The PC680MJT (MJ=Metal Jacket), means the battery is housed in a metal jacket.
This enables the battery withstand higher ambient temperatures. The PC680MJ is
rated to withstand temperatures of 176 degrees Fahrenheit vs. the standard PC680
is rated at 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
I will be adding a Y off the rear baffle to direct air on the firewall battery
and air shutter while reducing hot air to tunnel area. Although this won't help
shutdown temps the metal jacket and other insulation should assist with that.

I've noticed some have straight/angled antenna on top near vert stab, is this off
centered or drilled through top stringer? Not sure how to go about that?
If directly centered and 1/2" hole for bnc does that compromise strength of stringer
( maybe not)? Also how to install a doubler in that area?

Recommend that you not try to center it, but use the stiffener already
present with a doubler or add stiffener to doubler. No one will notice
that you are a 1/4" off center.
On the other hand I have had good performance from belly antennas, even
when on the ground.

Why would you want to do this?
Two bent whip comm antennas on the bottom is much less of an eyesore.

I know from my 6 with two belly antennae I get marginal coverage on the ground
