Hey other Jim I do not know the other Jim at all. The lite I am talking about is maybe a low cloud base that is not more than a couple thousand feet thick and a destination airport that is marginal

Jay, how close are y0u and Jim as far as "knowing "each other??? Flying ANY kind of IFR depends a lot on how good a pilot you are and what level of slop you are willing to enter. How much lite is

The GDL 88, 84 are on the FAR $500 rebate list... see faa.gov rebate page. Mike

That Garmin GDL 82 looks like a great solution for those of us with a working transponder. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/540911#box Have you gotten your hands on one yet? Do you know if this

Thanks Jim Ya I was also thinking about that. I am planning on a two Axis auto pilot, in your opinion will that not be enough? Jay

Hi Jay, I've flown "Lite IFR" in my Q200 and would not recommend it without a 3 axis autopilot. The Q is not a real stable platform.........IMHO. Jim Patillo N46JP Q200

I purchased a Scout and tried it out this past weekend. Worked great no problem with ForeFlight wifi compatibility. ForeFlight is $75.00 a year and in my humble opinion well worth it. "You manage

I believe the Scout was introduced by Forefilght at Oshkosh for $200.00 (no battery back up) and it does work with apple phone and pad but not sure if you can get free weather and traffic on it like

I am to understand that Russell Cowles 84RC flew IFR on all his steam gages, Loran, glide scope and ADF radio. Rumor is he may have done most or all of his IFR training and check ride in his Q. I have

I think you spelled it wrong, but here is a link I found: https://flywithscout.com/ Cool little unit but it looks like it only works with Apple ForeFlight software (which is $200 per year)... Mike

Hello I am wondering if anybody is flying a Qbird in IFR? I am talking light IFR no icing conditions of course , just to get above some cloud into clear air. Thank Jay Foss

Jim, l don't know if you have seen the Scout from uAvoiix for Ads-b in but it looks nice and compact. Might be worth the extra bucks. I have a plug and play one that I bought that works great for

As I said in an earlier post, I have a King KT76A transponder which is in good working order and did not want to mess with my radio stack. I am installing a new Garmin GDL82 ($1,795.00) in the rear

For $100 a Stratux ADS-B In dual band system is a no brainier. You do need to use your Phone or a tablet for the display and I think the Android moving map App called Avare (free) is the way to go.

Mike I have the same set-up that you have….7” Samsung tablet Rasp Pi2. Having a ton of fun with it, along with my AP510. Neat stuff. Dave D.

Nice report, per usual, Mike. I'm just learning about Stratux and Avare and attended a couple of workshops at Oshkosh. When I got home I picked up the DIY listed parts off of Amazon and this past

I flew the Q200 on Friday morning. Cool morning for Florida, only 85F and 85% humidity. The sky looked grey. No rain around but the vis was much below what we normally have here in West-central

Ahm a'hope ing... ifn mah new stitches heal by then. j.

There was a lot of "smooth" talk up to the point of landing. Hummmm Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
