Panel

I looked at a variety of panel configs and believe that perhaps the 530 and 430 are a bit of overkill for the money. I kept one KX155, and jacked it to my existing CDI with GS, with my DME. I put a...

I don't know for sure, but I think if you also need to replace a tire after a hard landing, you can get them at Home Depot in the lawnmower section.
