Joe ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:05:03 PM PST US From: FamilyGage@aol.com Subject: Yak-List: Beware Knowing that our Yak site is designed to share technical information, parts, events, etc.; I have hesitated to poach this subject. Almost a year ago I contracted with Gulf Coast Avionics to do a complete avionics upgrade on my Yak-52W. The job was to take two or three weeks to complete. Over four months later the conversion was still not completed. When I did pick her up, oops, no brakes. The main hydrolytic line from the reservoir was torn off of the front rudder pedal. They would not repair the line, and if it were not for Craig Payne who found an A/P, the plane would still be in the back of their hangar. On the trip home neither of the new com's would work. As well as the new audio panel, VOR-ILS were also inoperative. I have written letters, made telephone calls for many months, and Gulf Coast will not respond. Craig does not know any aviation attorneys in Lakeland. Being an AOPA member since 1962, and paying extra for their so call "Legal Insurance", I contacted them. They gave me three names in the Daytona Beach area. None of the three had ANY interest in my problem since it was not a multimillion dollar case. Well, so much for AOPA insurance protection. All that I have ever asked of Gulf Coast Avionics is to have avionics that actually work! My understanding is that Pacific Coast Avionics is a part of this same company. If anyone has any suggestions, I am open. Just beware, because a signed contract means nothing once you have paid their bill.

I'm meeting Tom Johnson and one other -50 to depart for MTW first thing Friday morning...planning to make all 5 hops in one day - so please save me a seat at the dinner table at the Courthouse Pub! Anyone that wants to join up along the way, let me know.....the more the merrier! Our general route of flight takes us across NM, CO, NE, KS, and IA. Hope to see you all there!
