SPC #030-Nexair Saratogo NX

Summary: We continue my coverage of EAA Airventure with episode 30.  Today I present an interview with David Fetherston of Nexair Avionics (http://nexairavionics.com/) about their new airplane, the Saratoga NX (http://www.nexairavionics.com/saratoga.html).  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. 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.
