    Upgrades and learning the GTN 750/650?

    I agree, and my post wasn’t clear. It will be a 750 and 650.

    Upgrades and learning the GTN 750/650?

    Going in about 10 days for what started as the ADSB upgrades, decided to go all in and do the whole thing..... here’s what’s there now: Will pull the KMD 150, GNS430, KX 165, and the GTX 327, and the music junk. Go back with GTN 750/650, GTX 345 (probably remote). May or may not be able to...

    KMD 150 - any use fore it?

    This is my current stack. The King is handy for SA, and it will drive the autopilot, but I mainly use the GNS 430 and ForeFlight on the yoke VFR. (Will start IFR training in about a month.) Right I’m pricing removing the King, the 430, and the KX165 and going back with a GTN 750 over a 650...

    How long did it take before you landed landing

    One problem I had on alignment was using ailerons and rudder independently- If I needed to add rudder to get the nose straight, I’d then next be off center, then add aileron to bring it back, then need rudder, and oh - there’s the ground! The thing that helped my was the concept (it may not be...

    Panel upgrades for my C182

    Like what you guys have done! Looking at doing the same project on this fall on a RG, leaning towards the GTN 750, and always interested in other options. Had hoped to include a GFC 500. :mad: Since that’s not happening anytime soon, what could/should be done behind the panel now to simplify a...

    The FBO Doesn’t Like You - What do you do?

    In my limited experience, there are few good business people in GA. Maybe because GA isn’t a good business? :rolleyes:

    When was the last time you went around?

    About a month ago going into an unfamilar 50 x 3200 field in a gusty crosswind in a relatively new to me 182 RG. Come in a little hot, float, drift, bounce, go around, and get a reminder about pitch trim!

    Just finished 1st lesson and having 2nd thoughts

    Second this. I had it to the point of wondering if I could get over it. A light, bland meal, then ginger supplement, and finally a piece or two of ginger candy helped tremendously. After 5 or 6 lessons I was good, stopped the ginger after about 10. And there’s nothing wrong with asking the...

    1st Post.. Hello

    Can’t say what Dr. Chien will or won’t do. But I can tell you from personal experience that if you tell Bruce the truth (no fudging), and follow his advice to the letter, if it’s possible he’ll get you there. My suggestion is to go to his website- http://www.aeromedicaldoc.com/ and follow the...

    Can I still be a pilot?

    Dr. Bruce’s fees are absurdly low, no where near what he’s worth.

    Stick and Rudder by Wolfgang Langewiesche

    Read it when I started training, and reread it after I received my PPL. Enjoyed it both times.

    Locking up just before touchdown

    One thing that helped me relax the tension was when the instructor made get the trim right, then only let me hold the yoke between my thumb and forefinger.

    Constant Speed Prop: Over/Under Speed

    Thank you Tom. If it’s good enough for a steam engine, it’s good enough for me. Lol.

    Constant Speed Prop: Over/Under Speed

    Thanks Dan, that’s a clearer explanation of what I’ve been muddling through!

    Constant Speed Prop: Over/Under Speed

    Interesting questions to consider. A few hundred rpm probably isn’t an immediate catastrophe for the engine itself for a short time, hadn’t even thought about components like mags, etc. As I consider it, I’m trying to,picture what’s going in side the cylinders with fuel flow reduced with the...

    Constant Speed Prop: Over/Under Speed

    Okay, let me work thorough this.....prop is over speeding, throttle doesn’t do it, since I can’t increase load on the prop with prop pitch, I think I have to raise the nose to lower the airspeed and get some resistance against the prop. Which is not helping with a problem that’s likely oil...
