It looks pretty cool and looks like it fills some sort of niche. At least, Textron seems to think so. Basically a caravan on steroids right? I feel like there is some demand for that, given how popular the caravan is.

Thanks Man! That is exactly what I am looking for! Only thing holding me back now is my fear of heights. Thanks for putting model names in! Those are very reasonable options- a pleasant surprise. Ok- that is very, very helpful information. Thanks for that. I did not think about curvature of...

Ipad Pro 10.5. I'll admit- the thing is super cool. I'm slowly becoming an apple convert.

That's a really smart idea! No, they do not, unfortunately! At least not one that is any good. I agree about the satellite dish- as much as I'd love NFL Sunday ticket, I am definitely a cable guy for that reason. No dish, no thanks.

Good Evening everybody on the East Coast. As I mentioned in a previous thread, I am getting a kick out of my handheld radio. I am able to listen to the KART CTAF from my office! Very cool! I've got this little guy, the Icom IC-A6...

So, I just got an iPad.. there are so many accessories! I am not sure whether to get a yoke mount, or a window mount, a case with a cooling fan, a case that charges, a specific charger for the plane, and even what kind of foreflight to use. I will be renting for the foreseeable future..maybe a...

Nice man. Thanks for sharing! Lake placid is my #1 destination I'd like to fly to after I get my PPL. How did the mountains treat you? I think the first time I go, it'll be with a CFI.. I've never flown into the Adirondacks before. I'm especially partial to Big Mountain Deli and Smoke Signals...

I think it is just 1. really expensive, 2. pretty hard, and 3. limiting in a medical way. I am definitely a millennial (I am 27). I have a lot of friends with pretty good careers. But when you throw that 10,000$ figure around just for the license, it ends a lot of conversations right there. And...

that's awesome!

I have the ICOM. Got it as a hand me down from a fellow avgeek who upgraded. I love it, wish the range could be extended though- I keep it on my window sill and I can hear the CTAF from my local airport. Would love to hear the controlled/military airspace 30 miles away, but I'm not allowed to...

I need to get a proper rig setup for flight simming! I just need to complete my PPL first.. I play a lot of video games, and I love flying- so I am sure I will be obsessed.

I've been there man. My instructor is similar to yours I think- everything has to be "perfect". I know he is building good habits for me, but it is frustrating sometimes! Only thing I could say about this is, it ends eventually and it feels good!

Got a good 2.5 hours of practice in yesterday. After about 2-3 weeks of no flying. A little frustrating- I was sloppy on some details that both my instructor and I know that I shouldn't be sloppy on. Ended up off by 100 feet in the pattern at one point- just no excuse for that. I chalk it up to...

Great video! Thanks for sharing- this looks like awesome practice.

I didn't know what either of these things were. Am I supposed to know this stuff?? Oh man! reminds me of this video:

I think that's the way to do it, Nate. I definitely would prefer to do that in the future. Even the guys at my flight school prefer to bang out lessons over a shorter period of time, even though stretching it out would make them more money.

We've all been there, my friend. Remember that this is something we do for enjoyment. Always a good time to brush up some of your ground work too- maybe a mock flight plan or a weight and balance equation. Two of my last three scheduled lessons were cancelled for weather. It's happening to all...

Yeah- I pay 189$ an hour with (or without) instructor. It's painful. Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot you can do about it other than take your business elsewhere. There are always more CFIs around than you think though- maybe start asking around if there is a CFI who just doesn't...

All I will say is, the current tests that exist are good and thorough. Having gone through them, I believe that it would be hard with someone with true ADHD symptoms to pass those tests. Also, like Dr. Bruce mentioned- ADHD is on a spectrum. However, (and I think Bruce will agree with me here)...

thats a handsome airplane! very, very jealous.
