MY 530 WAS RIGHT AT $15k INSTALLED

THE 530 WAS $10,500.00
AND THE 330 WAS $3650.00
PLUS THE 106A INDICATOR, ANTENNA, AVIONICS MASTER SWITCH, DIRECT POWER FOR MY 196 PORTABLE, ANTENA CONNECTION FOR MY HANDHELD COM, RELOCATE THE ADF, DISCONNECT FOR THE AUTOPILOT, WORK ON THE MARKER LIGHTS, ETC. ETC. AND YOU KNOW .......................... $22k LATER.

OUCH, BUT IT SURE IS FUN!

Guy:

I just had a 530 and 330 installed by MidAmerica Avionics in Ft. Wayne. The total price was $15,500 installed, plus my old KX155 radio, my old KLN90A GPS, and my old transponder in trade. I was very satisfied with their work.

Mark

HAVE YOU RECIEVED YOUR IFR PAPERS YET?
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 2 MONTHS TO GET MY CERTIFICATION.
I WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM IS CLOGGED WITH REQUESTS AND THEY CANNOT PROCESS THEM ALL.

THANKS
