SPC #030-Nexair Saratogo NX




The Student Pilot Cast (mp3) show

Summary: We continue my coverage of EAA Airventure with episode 30.  Today I present an interview with David Fetherston of <a href="http://nexairavionics.com/" target="_blank">Nexair Avionics</a> about their new airplane, the <a href="http://www.nexairavionics.com/saratoga.html" target="_blank">Saratoga NX</a>.  The NX is a rebuild from spinner to tail of Piper’s Saratoga, but with all new avionics, speed mods, etc.  It’s a very interesting value in a travelling six-seater mini-van.<br> Along with the interview, I want to share several pictures with you of their first product of this program, a 1982 fixed gear Saratoga.  Enjoy.<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://i0.wp.com/studentpilotcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20090802_2611.jpg"></a>The Saratoga NX<br> <a href="https://i2.wp.com/studentpilotcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20090802_2587.jpg"></a>The Rear and Baggage Door<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://i2.wp.com/studentpilotcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20090802_2587.jpg"></a>Panel from the Rear Seats<br> <a href="https://i2.wp.com/studentpilotcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20090802_2587.jpg"></a>The New Interior<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://i1.wp.com/studentpilotcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20090802_2586.jpg"></a>Weight-Saving LED Light<br> <a href="https://i0.wp.com/studentpilotcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20090802_2591.jpg"></a>The Panel from the Pilots Door<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://i1.wp.com/studentpilotcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20090802_2605.jpg"></a>Avidyne’s R9 PFD<br>  <br> <a href="https://i2.wp.com/studentpilotcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20090802_2603.jpg"></a>The FMS Display and Keyboard<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://i0.wp.com/studentpilotcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20090802_2597.jpg"></a>The Whole Panel<br> <a href="https://i0.wp.com/studentpilotcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20090802_2602.jpg"></a>The New Switches<br> <br> <br> <br> I hope you enjoy the interview, and I want to once again thank the folks at Nexair.  I’m impressed with what they’ve done.  I’d love to hear from you on what you think.<br>
