I'm happy you're happy with your panel. Your experience really REALLY makes me sad! I truly enjoy flying but I have to admit, the older I get (and admittedly, "crustier") the more I wonder if the headaches associated with maintaining (and upgrading) airplanes is worth it. General Aviation is not easy, that's for sure. It really is difficult to tell who knows what they are doing, and who doesn't until it's too late. UGH!
Good Luck! Ed P.S. Had a great day of flying my SkyMaster yesterday with two of my flying buddies (good thing)! First time in a month due to schedule conflicts, work, Chicago winter Wx (bad thing)! Do I sound conflicted? Sorry for my little rant! Thanks for sharing your story. Last edited by edasmus : 12-30-14 at 04:45 PM. Reason: additional thought |

Hate to say it Bryan but...........did you give Mayday in GRR are chance? I really like those guys, they are by far not the cheapest but good honest folks run the program there. Maybe next time or maybe they can help you with your clean up on the issues you still have. Give Tim or Ed a call and tell them I suggested you call...

Yea, Herb you are right. I thought the substantial savings was worth it, but I guess not. I have a follow-up planned with Mayday to check everything out and do some additional work.
I had a problem with a long cross country flight last week, I believe the avionics relay was sticking and preventing all of the garmin stuff from powering up. We were trying to troubleshoot so we could make the 900 mile trip home and I emailed Stark Avionics just asking where the relay was and if they concurred with my thoughts. Service was as I experienced before. Here was their reply: Quote:

That is amazing, who do these guys think they are? Sounds like your bridge is already burned, a professional company would want to resolve this issue but I guess that explains the type of company they are........really sad
