Sportys SP400 includes anything you might need including ILS glideslope and localizer for about $350. For a little extra you can get headset adapter, extra 'change on the fly' battery pack, as well as adapter to hook into cockpit power. Mark W N952MW. On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 2:36 PM, Mike Stir

I have the plans for the Continental engine showing the mount depth as 11.5 inches. I don't need that much space on my O-235, the Colt mount is just 10 inches. Would it be best to pull the mount back to 9" or is the 11.5 inches about right for a 200 lb engine? Thanks Craig www.kr2seafury.com

OOPS, think I misunderstood your situation - thought you were talking of using just the handheld com/VOR. Still, those radios have been approved by the FCC for use in aircraft, so the only possible snag in my view is not having it installed by a pro and signed off - and I bet that is not enforc
