From Bob Claypool, N4819N on 11-Jun-2007
Just after the Nov. '06 annual on my 182Q, I found that the electric pitch trim system was inop. I spent much time trying to find a source to fix the problem. Art didn't have any past experience with the unit, so he suggested I try other sources - which I did - to no avail. I flew to another airport where an expert avionics shop said they could fix it for me. Turns out they couldn't, so I asked Art if he would dig into the problem. We took off the 3 inspection plates on the right rear elevator, found an item called the "Dual Trim Regulator". Art opened it up, found a couple semiconductor elements faulty and attempted to repair the unit, but he didn't have the needed components in his shop. So he looked on line for a replacement. He found one, but it was very pricey. He kept on looking and found a unit for a fraction of the cost of the first one. Art ordered the unit and had it successfully replaced within 3 days. I couldn't ask for better service!!

Art just installed a Whelen high intensity beacon on the tail of my 182. It is much brighter and the amp drain is much less than the old one. Art did a great job - as he always does when working on my aircraft.

I have had Art work on avionics in my 210 and now on my new light sport aircraft, a Tecnam Bravo. The results have always been completely satisfactory, on time, and at a fair price. He listens, understands, suggests, and then does it.

Art worked with us to determine both our long-term goals and how to pace ourselves so not to get over budget. His time spent educating us about the options, both for hardware (Garmin choices) and options during the installation made it feel like we have an avionics team member in our plane partnership. (Installation looks great and works great, for the agreed price and the job was finished on time; we couldn't ask for more)

Two days prior to a long cross-country trip, I discovered my xponder antenna was broken. Peninsula Avionics had the part in stock, and company president Art Vartanian had my aircraft repaired in about an hour. I am very appreciative of the quick turnaround and first class workmanship -- thanks, Art!
