Garmin GNC 300XL and intercom

Just picked up a Garmin 300XL from a friend doing a upgrade for only $500. IFR certified! Like I need that!
Anyone got an opinion on which intercom to use with it?

Buying second hand Jabirus

For those of us considering buying second hand Jabiru 3300s, here's what I've learned so far. 1) The folks at Jabiru USA are very helpful. 2) There are a few exhaust manfolds, some may not fit the Sonex. 2.5) Most Sonex do not use a muffler. 3) They sell prop hub extenders for various airframes. The...

Nose Gear Muffler

I recently purchased a used Jab 3300 from a Zenith 601 with what I assume has a stock muffler. I haven't mounted it on my plane yet, but from eyeballing, it looks like the muffler will interfere with teh nose gear. Is there a special muffler for the nose gear or do you just add some straight pipes a...

Re: Viking Engine

I pulled the trigger and canceled my Viking order and requested my deposit returned. Partly because I have a growing concern over the recent developments with Viking and lack of progress with a Sonex install, and mostly because I found a very nice Jabiru 3300 on Barnstormers which I purchased and re...

Re: Viking Engine

What bothered me is he is now offering a different gear ratio for the redrive to match the higher RPM and smaller prop of the Jabiru/Sonex install. At OSH he said he had a deal with Sensonich to produce a three blade adjustable that would meet the Sonex smaller stance. Now, will he just use the two ...

Re: Sport Acro?

The partially completed kit I purchased was already committed to the sport acro mods. You definitely lose flaps and the ailerons seem way too big. I expect the plane to be very sensitive to roll inputs and a bit faster on landings, but I'm OK with that. Someone on the Yahoo site posted a video of th...

Re: Viking Engine

Just an update. I did get a response to my emails from Jan. He answered all my questions. I also uploaded some pictures of the fuel tank/filler tank issue to his website. Right now I'm holding my second deposit until some progress is made on the Sonex. I won't be part of the December deliveries. He ...

Re: Viking Engine

Needless to say,
I am keeping my options open. My airframe (less engine) will be finished before December.
If the Viking is not a viable option, I will go with the Jabiru, probably with water cooled heads.
I will be flying by June 2012 regardless!
