“...........I’ve also found a new rising star for pressurized piston twin avionics work – Mayday Avionics at GRR (Grand Rapids, MI) – who are currently performing a complete avionics retrofit on our Cessna 340A.  All facets of this job are truly of large-turbine aircraft quality.  The drawings, engineering, harness assembly and craftsmanship are all of big-shop standards.  Mayday has been vigilant in updating, cleaning and rerouting the existing wires and controls.  I don’t have a completion photo yet, but as the old saying goes, “Beauty is only skin deep!””
