Saving a few bucks in Cheesehead land

No Steve not a Mustang although I sometimes feel like I've spent enought to have one.:eek:
Every year I ask this question before Osh hoping I'll get a tip on something I want that will be discounted at the show. I have scored a few times over the years and have saved enough to get some extra goodies. :D
 
As someone said last year...

Garmin is going to release the 596. It will be able to control the weather! :D
 
I have had my FLYING RV-6 at Oshkosh AirVenture 9 of the last 10-years. You can count on Jeppesen to have 10-15% discounts on almost everything they sell including GPS database updates.

596 cheap gas spotter?

>>>Garmin is going to release the 596. It will be able to control the weather! <<<

If it could receive and dispense weekly updates of cheap fuel locations, now that would sell. Meanwhile, seriously, bet 496 and 495 will be at least $100 off again, like Sun N Fun 2008.
 
The last couple years Icom has been handing out $100 rebate forms for Icom A200s (and other handhelds) at its booths. Most vendors will sell it for around $650-675 if you shop around, making your total $550-575. Having bought the A210 in the group buy, and regretting it now because of its lack of true dual frequency monitoring, I'd highly recommend the A200. Best radio bang for the buck.

Aircrafts Spruce's Deal on the FP-5

Ever since I took the cockpit tour of the "Beautiful Doll" I wanted a Electronics International FP-5 Fuel Flow instrument for my 6A. Because of Aircraft's Spruce's Oshkosh deal I now may have a chance to bring something really shinny home from the "Big Show" in my new Doug Reeves recommended "Man-bag". One question to you guys that already have them. (the FP-5's that is). They also offer a "L" model that can be linked to a GPS with a RS-232 connection. Is it worth it and has anybody been successful linking one up to a 496? I've been saving up in my sock drawer and it's burning a hole in my pocket. I can't wait to get to Wisconsin.

I had my FP-5L linked to a 430 in my Cherokee. It was nice to see remaining fuel at destination. It really made me lazy. No more fuel calculations.
