If you have never heard of corvair college it is a three day event covering the
process of converting a corvair auto engine in to a flight engine. More importantly,
it is three days of fun with like-minded people who share your enthusiasm
for aviation

I am starting to look at panel mount radios for my 701 and not happy with
the prices I am seeing.
Does anyone have a good suggestion for a panel mount? I am just looking for
a single COM ( no NAV ).
Thanks,

Specs look good. Looks South African made?
I'd avoid getting a microair. When they work, they are OK, but many
that I have seen and troubleshot give a lot of headaches. I hear XCom
is OK.

Yup, MGL's HQ is in South Africa. So their whole line is made there: EFIS,
engine monitors, single round instruments. But the dealers around the world
(especially the US dealer) provide excellent support. And the head of the
company and chief designer (Rainier) posts on the user-to-user group on
Yahoo.
The situation on XCom is unclear. I have one but haven't tested it yet.
Chris Sinfield posted this on the 601 list back on December 23rd:
"Also made in Australia and a cloner of the 760. but out of experience if
you get a good one its good, but our club had 10 in a group buy and 8 had to
be exchanged or returned for repair within 12 months..
Maybe a bad batch but it was our experience and has turned me away from them
until their reliability improves.. True Mr Coats replaced or repaired each
one so good customer back up for XCom"
Xcom had problems with their assembly houses in Australia. Here is an
excerpt from an Oct 2008 joint press release from Narco and XCOM titled
"Narco Avionics and XCOM Avionics, Manufacturing Partnership Agreement":
"Since the radios inception the XCOM has been built in Australia with a
large majority (approximately 90%) of our product being shipped
internationally with most of this going to the USA. Production issues in
Australia have forced us to look for another manufacturer, we tried several
manufacturers in Australia but none of these could offer reliable and
quality production which basically meant we had a fantastic product that was
being let down by poor manufacturing which was out of our control. The best
way around this is to find a manufacturer who is already familiar with
avionics and has the ability to manufacture correctly to TSO standards, will
stand behind their work and most importantly take pride in what they are
doing!
For this reason we have entered into a cooperation with Narco Avionics who
are the world's longest standing avionics business. This partnership gives
XCOM the complete confidence that our product will be manufactured and
tested beyond the standards which are required for efficient and continuous,
long-term , durable operations. It really means we can stand behind our
product with more confidence than ever before and it also gives Narco
exposure to the LSA, experimental and Ultralight market which is rapidly
expanding."
Since mine was built in Australia we will see how lucky I am.

Have used the VAL760 in 3 different planes for the last 15 yrs or so and
have had flawless results, ultra simple and can talk for a hundred
miles on clear days.

I have had the same results with my two VAL760's. Great range and

Put another three hours on my 701 today, 35 more to go.
