I have essentially the exact same set up. The cockpit of the 10 isn't ginormous so it's very easy to fly off of the G5. In my setup both alternators and both batteries and both G3Xs would have to fail to rely on the G5. If all that happens my goal is to just get out of IMC.

Grats, good luck with phase I!

Everyone made it out of this unscathed so that's a plus. However I started looking at the comments and there was this back and forth about the ignition being in the off position. I guess the thought is that the Plead was most likely ungrounded, therefore not grounding the mag, hence leaving a...

You're going to find substandard built and substandard maintained airplanes all over the place. No matter what you get you have to put some trusted eyes on the machine before putting your life on the line. I've been in some 40 year old professionally built and maintained Cessna's that I thought...

The Raptor...

Maybe a DAR can jump in and answer, I was making the assumption that anything in the Experimental Category would be assigned operating limitations, containing Phase I requirements. Maybe R&D is a completely different dealio. For an Amateur-built or a Kit-built project Phase I is when you're...

If you swap an engine do the Phase I hours restart?

Get with the Raptor guy and check out the Audi auto conversion...

He's fortunate he stayed close to the air field. This could have had a very different outcome.

Pretty cool video. Twin turbine Velocity will be swanky!

What you said makes complete sense. However I would still learn in whatever I owned.

If you guys own a F33, learn in the F33. Plenty of pilots out there learning to fly in turbines... for a 'complex' aircraft I wouldn't consider an F33 that 'complex'.

I approach faster than 1.3 vso. My logic is if the engine cuts on short final I’ll have no issue making the field. I still touch down close to stall and am off at midfield. I land full flap all the time for the most part in my RV. With my old STOL plane it was half flaps with crosswinds. To...

https://www.flyinglegendusa.com/ I was talking to a friend of mine who also built a 10. Just sort of talking about next projects, because I'm itching to build again. I'm familiar with a Super Tucano but looks like someone makes a mini-version as a kit. Similar to that mini-Mustang I suppose...

All about expectation, anyone that truly believes their $50 consumer product is going to be on the same level of a D sim is going to be sadly mistaken. I don’t care which version of flying game you play, they all fly like video games. That said I used P3D to practice IFR procedures, I probably...

My closest friend is really into boats. I bet he's easily $4M into it when you take his 3 boats (all over 40'), His lake house, private dock, etc. So in comparison my aviation hobby is cheap!

My first plane I tracked everything for about 6 months. Everything included gas and I had a quick formula to track cost per hour based on my flying and all fixed costs. I got sick of making the entries when in reality it wasn't going to change my flying, it was just a curiosity point. For my...

Now don't forget the Raptor. That's going to have a 300 knot cruise speed and cost $130K....
