    In my opinion the da40 is easier to fly and handles better than 172. Not sure about the 182 but it’s a heavier. I’m leaning towards the 182 for many different reasons such as maintenance, options to add such as gfc 500 and useful load.

    New iPad Mini could be coming.....

    Seems to be coming but I hope for pencil support. I’ve used a 10 inch pro yoke mounted and it wasn’t too big. I’ve now switched to mini 4. Can’t wait for a boast in processing.

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    Currently at 73 hours over the past 4 years. Had to take time off for a new job. Getting ready for check-ride soon but lost my previous instructor to airlines and had to switch planes with .40 hour remaining for solo hours.
