I'm based at KBKV (North of Tampa Florida) and am looking for avionics shops that can perform the IFR Transponder/Pito/Static certification on my RV-7A that is within an hours flying distance. The plane has a GRT EFIS and Garmin GTX-330 transponder.

My local shop quoted me over $500, which I'm finding hard to accept... Anybody else got any other suggestions?

I haven't used them yet but several of the folks based at Plant City do. I don't know their pricing.

Sarasota Avionics AT KPGD

SA at Punta Gorda (Charlotte Cty) used to do the IFR for 250, and there is a good restaurant. A couple of my hangar neighbors just had theirs done at the new shop at Sebring -- about 300.

Before you go anywhere, be sure your static system is tight --- will safe you a lot of grief, later.

I used this guy: http://www.tampaavionics.com/

He came to me at ZPH and was knowledgeable and understanding of RV's. Don't remember exact cost but I believe was under $500. He did my GRT and Dynon EFIS units and GTX-327 transponder. He's based at Tampa North

IFR Transponder/Pito/Static Certification

Thanks to all who replied. I've made a list of possible contacts and will start calling them today...
 
Just had mine done at KTTD near Portland, OR. Haven't got the bill yet, but was quoted $450. I know.... OUCH!
 
IFR Transponder Cert

FYI-I do these in MI and TN, my friend does them in MI and FL (Dec-Mid May). Unfortunately, he just came back to MI for the summer. When there, he lives in New Port Richey. We charge $275 for an IFR cert.
