    The Six is such a great plane. Hit me up if you have any questions about the PA32 when the time comes!

    I bought a Cherokee 6 for under $30K

    I would say in general if you enjoy customizing everything to your liking and are not going to expressly worry if you can get out what you put in then go for it. Really, it can be super fun to choose and plan everything and then have it the way you like it. But if you are someone who will...

    I bought a Cherokee 6 for under $30K

    Dynon and Trutrak and panel overlay 26k all in. That one was recent and I have it top of mind.

    I bought a Cherokee 6 for under $30K

    I'm sorry the title of the video is off putting for you. I always struggle with the titles and finding the balance of something people will click through to actually watch vs pass over. As a creator I think we just want people to see our work and as an aviator I'm excited to share this hobby...

    I bought a Cherokee 6 for under $30K

    It’s hard to specify the total cost since the project was done over such a long period of time and in phases, and considering my buddy was doing a lot of the work at friendly rate. I will have to go back to all my spreadsheets and add things up or maybe I better not! I sort of estimated the...

    Haha. Don't worry I still browse sites like Trade a Plane for all kinds of planes. Half the fun is looking and dreaming...

    I bought a Cherokee 6 for under $30K

    Oh yeah have you seen the full video? Here it is.... my wife’s jacket gets sucked out the improperly closed door! It was quite an event...the meat of the incident is at the end of the video (although I really like the rest of the video because Sedona is incredible)

    I bought a Cherokee 6 for under $30K

    I bought a Cherokee 6 for less than $30k and it changed my life. This is the story of N631BW and its total renovation and resurrection from Engine Overhaul to Avionics to Paint and Interior. I hope you enjoy this video! My family had a great time making it.

    Trutrak PMA Vizion Autopilot FULL REVIEW

    I think people don't know this feature is lacking and also don't know about the coupled instrument procedure limitation, the latter of which is a bit buried in the AFMS and the marketing materials all advertise LPV approach "capability." It's good to know what you're getting to make sure it...

    Trutrak PMA Vizion Autopilot FULL REVIEW

    I’m excited to be able to share what I’ve learned about the Trutrak Vizion Autopilot (BendixKing Aerocruze 100) after flying with it for 6 months. If you are thinking about an autopilot upgrade I hope you find this video both useful and entertaining. I show most of the features (and some...

    Flying through Turbulence!

    Oh yeah the areas you describe can be really bad. I've heard stories about the Owens Valley- a couple years ago my then CFI was working for a charter company and some guy flew a King Air into some really bad mountain wave and almost killed everyone and damaged the airplane in the turbulence...

    First time in IMC with Dynon HDX for Certified

    There are several shops in the country quoting that as an installed price out the door for the Trutrak autopilot. I think the list price for the TT is 5k. So 22-28 hours install at $100/hour gets it to that price if the unit is sold at list or a little discounted. Shops in SoCal either didn't...

    Flying through Turbulence!

    I had a recent flight through the bumps a little stronger than usual and caught it on camera. It got me thinking again about the best way to fly through turbulence and inspired me to do some research. Through forums and articles I found some super interesting information and want to share it...

    First time in IMC with Dynon HDX for Certified

    Mine was about $7250 for equipment and installation total cost out the door but done as part of a larger panel upgrade with the HDX.

    First time in IMC with Dynon HDX for Certified

    It will fly the Glideslope of an LPV approach. It will not fly VOR or ILS...GPS approaches only. It has a mode where you can control the heading (which is actually track) on the control head. The way I have it linked to my HDX I can also flip a switch and the HDX controls the TT in actual...
