If you're looking at the garmin 296, consider the avmap 4. It looks the
best of the current bunch. The map screen is about twice the size of the
Garmin 296 screen for about the same price. Check it out:

impressed. Mike.M.

I've got an Airmap 100 I bought new less than two years ago. I tried to
update the database in it a couple of weeks ago and they told me it was
no
longer available for that unit. They offered to give me $100.00 tradein
on a
500. I told them never mind I would get a Garmin. So that being said I
would
sell mine for $250.00. I paid $400 for it.................Bob 149 I also
told them I would tell everyone how proud I am of their product
support..................

| Subject: | crack in gear/engine mount |
There was a request to see the pictures of the crack in my gear/engine mount that
I found last year. I didn't get any pictures of the repair. The pictures
show the rear of the mount, and the crack is in the vertical side tube just under
the bolt bushing where it bolts through the firewall to the frame, and just
above the gear leg socket. The tube was cracked about 1/2 way around on the
side against the firewall. Only way to see it was with a mirror on the inside--I
noticed the black line which can be seen most clearly in the second picture.
The frame was painted light grey, but now is white so any crack will show
up even better. The crack was welded and a gusset was welded over the entire
area.

There were some posts recently about the elevator control. My W-8s elevator controls
were fashioned after the W-10 plans, but the elevator arms had to point
down because of the contruction of the vertical stab and lack of space. This
required a rocker arm which was positioned under the baggage area. Attached
are a couple of construction photos that show the rocker arm and the trim control
which is basically the same design as shown in the plans, but connected to
the rocker arm, then the control rod is connected to a vernier screw below the
pilot's seat. It all works pretty well. The only thing I would do differently
today is to put bearing ends at the stick attachment points, rather than the
tube bushings as shown on the plans.
