Garmin 650, Garmin 795, and 3600 Wheel Skis on Cessna 180, N9418C

ACME Cub Training ordered a Garmin avionics package that includes a Garmin 650 touch screen GPS and a Garmin 795 yoke mounted GPS. Northern Lights Avionics will install the radios in October.  N9418C is our instrument trainer, tail-wheel trainer, and qualifies as a complex aircraft.
In addition to the radio upgrades, we outfitted iN9418C with Federal 3600 Wheel-Skis. It is now available as a complex aircraft for the training needed for a commercial rating or a FAR 61.31 (e) endorsement.  It also has a 230 HP engine making it available to give pilots a FAR 61.31 (f) high-performance endorsement.  It is a conventional gear aircraft making N9418C available to give pilot a tailwheel endorsement, FAR 61.31 (i).
