Selling my Garmin GNS-430W WAAS System Com/Nav/GPS,great unit that was removed for a 530W and comes with the tray and backplate
Asking USD $4500
Looking for info on just where to mount the headphone jacks for pilot & passenger sets in my 701. I'm leaning towards in the top channel (7F5-3SP) above the outboard shoulders of pilot & passenger. It might also provide a place to hang the sets after exiting the aircraft. Any thoughts?
I have new wheels and brakes, etc for sale.

I am going for the Zodiac 601/650 world record for non-stop flight with mine. Check it out:https://vimeo.com/152709476
I am rebuilding my 601 with a Viking engine.
I would like to eliminate half the fuel lines in the airplane, namely the return lines to the tanks.
I am thinking about a header tank under the dash or ahead of the firewall.
Anybody done this and how small a tank can I get by with. I will probably have a local fabricator build a tank for me, pressure test it for about 100psi.
Your advice will be appreciated.
Thanks

How much different is there in flying with the steel bungee compare to the original bungee ?.
I posted this on the 701 discussion form but did not get any reply, see if this works.

Same problem here. I've strapped /un-strapped/re-positioned/re-strapped several times and just seem to shift the problem. . Mostly I can just see the edge of one hole through the other.
