I just ordered my vert stab and rudder wood from Wicks, and it came to $88. Itis higher than aircraft spruce kit price, but I am going to pick up somethingelse there anyway. When comparing prices though, I noticed A.S. has kit for bothvert stab and rudder for about $50 before shipping, but when you order individualpieces from them, it comes out to $92....????? I'm wondering if A.S. pricesfor kit just haven't been updated, or is it just that good of a deal buyingkit vs parts? Anyone here know why kit is so much cheaper? Not a big dealon these small parts, but I had been sort of budgeting my project around A.S.kit prices. If this holds true for rest of project, I'm going to have to almostdouble my numbers if I buy from Wicks.--------Jon JonesIronton, MORead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:05:15 -0400

I downloaded newest s/w, for one, but don't think I'll pay for database update. Anyone want the second? Will bring to Brodhead.

Since my second =9Caviation grade=9D Garmin puked right before Brodhead last year, I flew with my iphone as my primary navigation backed up by charts on my knee pad in case it quit. I had used the iphone the previous year to back up my garmin so it worked great for two years. Always keep a paper backup though. Anyways, I got to wondering if this auto gps would work in the plane and serve as a last ditch gps backup for the iphone. Went flying and sure enough, it works fine. There=99s not much detail or aviation related info, but many airports are there and in =9Coffroad=9D mode, it=99ll show a direct path. Seems like a fine backup gps. Keep the charts though!
