Maybe one could be hard wired and one BT?

Thank you for letting us know about some spectators touching aircraft. I have made the Fly-In manager and Airport Manager aware of this concern to see how we can improve the situation.

I hope you can join us We are also running a food truck only event on Saturday 9/24, in case you can't make the Sunday activities. 42nd Annual Simsbury Fly-In, Car Show and Food Truck Festival Sept. 25, 2022 – 8AM to 5PM – Simsbury Airport (4B9) The largest fly-in in the Northeastern USA...

I would think the RV-10 would be the most comfortable for longer trips by far due to its size. I have flown in the 6, 7 with both being tight cockpits and I'm only 6 feet 185lbs. I did sit in a 14 and a 10 with the 10 having the best seating for me. My Piper Archer is more comfortable than all...

This 180 appears to be a good deal at that price as long as the Pre Buy inspection does not find major issues.

Has anyone used a fire extingisher in a PA-28 in flight? Are they required? My 85 Archer has mine mounted below the circuit breaker panel on the copilot side.

We usually get 100-150 airplanes at the Sunday Fly-In depending on weather. Note that you can still fly in on Saturday with less crowds for the food truck only event. The runway is 2200 ft asphalt.

It's time again (thankfully) 41st Simsbury Fly-In, Car Show and Food Truck Festival Simsbury Airport 4B9 in north-central Connecticut Sept. 25 Food Trucks ONLY (9AM to 5PM) Sept 26 Full Fly-In, Car Show, and Food Trucks (8AM to 5PM) . The largest Fly-In in the Northeastern USA, plus a...

The GTX-345 also provides aural alerts which can be helpful. For example, “Traffic! Two O'clock, Low, Two Miles.”

I fly out of a 2200 ft runway with an incline and trees at both ends so I have to pay attention. I would definitely calculate for a new high altitude airport. Sounds like you doing the right things by checking static power and decisions by midpoint of the runway. The biggest factor is air...

If you have flight plan transfer working then you are connected. There may a setting you are missing in Pilot. Try buddies Foreflight. Your set-up will actually give you an AHRS to the Pilot AI. Nice backup.

Same here. Paul B does a great job on his videos. I was considering updating the Archer to add a 406ELT, but after seeing this video I'll save my money and continue to use ADS-B, Cell phones, a 406 PLB, and flight following.

Great story. Like how you made the student pilot have skin in the game. I'm sure he learned a lot that evening.

I would stick with the cash cow you have in hand. If you want work your way up in a megacorp it will cost you 50-60+ hours per week and that will get old plus become unhealthy. Many corpoarate leaders have huge egos are unpleasent to be around. Focus on learning new things like building a kit...

Note that the Archer II is larger than a Cherokee 180 with 5 inches more rear seat room, larger door, larger wing, and a larger stabilator. It also has a fairly good sized baggage compartment door area that will carry 200 LBs. The RV-10 does have more passenger space than an Archer.

I agree the Archer and the RV-10 are different airplanes with significant differences in powerplants and price. You can get a nice Archer for $80-100K ready to fly or a nice used RV-10 for $250K. I met 2 owners flying RV-10s and they were both over $230K in materials plus 2800 hours of build...

Same experience on my Archer II. My goal is always to have the least amount of cranking and this full throttle (not pumping) technique works well for me on hot starts.
