A plug for Twin Lakes Avionics


I recently drove a friend to Twin Lakes to (near Mocksville, NC) to pick up his V tailed Bonanza.  He had an S-TEC autopilot installed in this beautiful 1950 classic.  I was amazed at the avionics shop located in a corner of the airport property.  It is a huge 5 plane hanger with attached office and repair shop.
I was amazed because I haven't heard much about Twin Lakes Avionics - but it is well staffed and equipped to serve your avionics needs. Check it out!
