    ADM sanity check (VFR over the top)

    Looks like a great flight... I plan all my flights at 9500 to 12,5... just to be out of the heat, and into the smoother air. South West flying makes it important to be high... and those clouds look just perfect. It is a pure joy to be above them, one of the reasons that flying is so great.

    G5 install today

    I'm looking forward to installing -2- G5's one day... both my AI and DG have issues, and have need of improvements... and it may even help my autopilot fly better!... I have one of those old Man-U-Well systems that seem to wander all over the place. STC's improvements are a great thing.
