    ADS-B Reboot

    Howdy all, I know it's been a while past the 2020 mandate hit us, but I wanted to share what worked for my triple tail in case some are still needing to get it done. I decided to go with the GDL 82 and keep using my Narco transponder, but decided to replace my Narco with a Garmin GTX 327...

    Brake Master Cylinder rebuild?

    Howdy all, I'm going to be tackling the annual on my 260 (once the dust settles after closing on a house and moving in).

    14-19-3 Questions

    I'm on night shift at the plant for the next few days so I figured I'll throw some questions about my "new" cruisemaster 260 out there while things are slow. My neighbor (IA) and I just did the annual on it last weekend but I have not gotten to fly it yet and I'd like a few things clarified...
