I wasn't following this thread but saw I was tagged. Hello all. I probably won't read four pages, sorry. But, at the risk of opening a pandora's box (in which case disregard) wouldn't your Second Amendment Right protect you.. at least in a broad sense? There can be perfectly legitimate reasons...

Yeah... I have more than a few friends who critique my love of Velocity for the whole $$ reason. If it hadn't been the voice of rationality I very nearly dropped $20K on a deposit last year at OSH

As I recently minted CFI it is pretty interesting working with people who'd had instructors before and hearing some of the horror stories I'm still relatively green to the instructor world but given my experiences it is important to always stay patient If someone isn't getting something that...

I have been eagerly following the velocity twin six program, and their Instagram page recently featured a number of posts in it, looks like they're about ready for first flight!

Hell. To Richard Feynman's point, it is evident that there are very few people who actually understand this well enough to articulate and teach it OP asked a straightforward question The air is thinner, less drag, the plane "speeds up" to maintain the same "equilibrium"; TAS goes up, IAS...

That was my thought as well, wouldn't be the first time there was an issue with transfer. There was a PC-12 sometime back as well plus the famous SR-22

They were put in at least one twin velocity.. but I get your point

This is awesome! Glad to see a diesel option and some new design out there!! The twin Velocity at Oshkosh last year (drool!) was sporting twin deltahawks. RE the above comments, weight and cooling system complexity are the concern for sure. This might not be a realistic option to swap out in...

that's a fun one for sure! The altitudes sound about right, I usually depart west over the water head up the coast towards CARIF then proceed to wherever it is I want to go. That view is hard to beat. The way home back to MYF I'm usually ready to get home so the Black Mountain call up for FOSS...

The airspace around here is loads of fun

WOW. Really nice find. The interior is immaculate! ..and asking $129K? Holy crap.

Yeah and that's where the whole "reasonable person" and make your best judgment comes in.. which is less than ideal. One of my biggest fears is being subject to a jury of my peers! Paul B's take on this was basically "don't be an @$$hole" .. but the whole thing is further complicated by the...

^^exactly

yes, this is how I know it as well. They use this in maritime also

I mean, yeah it was stretched a little..

Paul Bertorelli did a good fly along in AvWeb, I'm sure you can also download a poh/afm somewhere, those figures above I put were slightly hyperbolic but the performance is fairly incredible..

^was going to be my recommendation as well It can be discouraging for sure, but don't beat yourself up. Even if you like your current CFI it might be worth flying with someone else to get a different approach. You could also try observing a few landing or going right seat with a pilot friend...

Or more maybe.. what *most* people weigh. However the current system seems to work so "don't fix it" if it ain't broken sort of thing

You don't have to leave over the lake, if you depart towards the east there's a flat meadow and a small valley then the desert floor opens up under you This airport is do-able when using conservative margins and careful planning. A turbo helps, but I've been there in 160 hp Cessnas and...

The Carolina Squat is the worst offender of them all..! Zero function - 100% "look my truck is broken" look. If giving your car a stance actually helped with performance I'd have to imagine you'd see this on professional purpose built track cars, which - you don't. At least not to a perceptible...
