Hi George!
I saw your ES group post regarding the aileron trim wiring. See below from my build log. I tried unsuccessfully to fish a wire through the aileron, and ended up bonding a small conduit onto the aileron itself. Works fine. Hope that helps.

Also, on your 430 flight planning question… try more direct legs. I flew home from FL to PA yesterday; 850nm with 5 waypoints. KVNC OCF SSI MRB HGR KCXY. Cleared as filed (as it always is). Got direct SSI before I reached OCF without asking. Got direct KCXY down in SC from FAY approach…right through DC ADIZ, knocking out MRB and HGR – also without asking. That part of the route is unusual, but these kind of legs are possible, even offered by ATC. Plenty of VORs on the east coast in case they are needed.

Wow. I had no idea it was that much. But not surprised.

That sounds great but for $2k I think I can learn to love twisting knobs.

Nothing is foolproof to the sufficiently talented fool.
I find loading my flight plans into the GNS 430W to be tedious at best and taking WAY too much time. Is there a better way? I’ve read there’s a way to do my flight planning on my computer and then transfer it to the aviation database card with a USB connector of some sort (but not the same one used to update the database). When I talk to my local Garmin dealer, their response is along the lines of, “Huh, we haven’t heard of that.” So, they called Garmin Support and got me a non-existent part number for an “Aviation Data Card Programmer Kit” to the tune of $449. Does anybody have info on how this is done, or even IF it can be done?
