    SwitchBox Control

    Do you have a way to restrict robo calls with your setup? That’s a big issue, as those calls can trigger the heater on or off without your knowledge.

    SwitchBox Control

    Im using the App to turn my heater on and off. Today I got the failed message after several attempts. While at the hanger, after the last fail notification, the unit turned on. The app showed it was off, so I sync’d it and it went green. How does one send a text to find signal strength, I’m...

    Is DIRECT possible in NYC airspace??

    You could start out IFR and if NYC is VFR, cancel. Keep FF and request Hudson River Skyline routing, noting KHPN as final destination. EWR will hand you off to LGA, as you proceed north and eventually to NY Departure/Approach, who will hand off to HPN. This should avoid you having to be turned...

    Skyview vs. G3X

    Good point, I’ve flown the Classic/Touch and now fly behind the G3X in my plane. They are both premier systems, I prefer Garmin.

    Skyview vs. G3X

    Ive flow with both and currently have dual G3X Touch screens, Garmin servos and the Garmin 307 controller in my Sling. What I find curious in this thread, no one really evaluates the displays them selves. Again, I’ve flown with both, but find the G3X displays exceptional, for brightness...

    SwitchBox Control

    I’m a user. I’ve got the same setup as you. Although I’ve seen a few delays, it’s never been more than a few minutes. Rather than stare at my phone, I just usually go back to it and see the icon noting a message, checking it shows the on or off response. I’ve only encountered one failed message...

    PA-32R down near Kingston, ON

    Are you familiar with the Cherokee Six? I’ve got Six time, it’s a workhorse. I hate to Monday morning quarterback, but given the details so far, I would not think the plane in question was anywhere near overloaded. Now, if you tell me all we’re adults, with a tone of luggage or freight, I’d want...

    Katamarino's Round the World flight

    I agree100%. If it were me, I’d move forward with the overhaul/replacement, especially if I plan on keeping the plane.

    Question LSA vs ELSA vs E-AB

    Just like the Sling 2, S-LSA’s MAUW is 1320, build it E-AB and it’s MAUW is 1540. It’s all in the paperwork.

    To the OP, you might want to give these folks a look... https://www.slingpilotacademy.com/ I have no interest in the company or program, I just fly a Sling.

    Thinking about a Blimp

    I’ve got 5.8 hours of logged Blimp time in my log book. Back in the 90’s, the Skyship Indusries Airships, the Tommy Hilfinger, which became the FUJI Blimp, were fixtures in NY. Based at Floyd Bennett Field when in town I was able, due to my employment, fly with them on numerous occasions. When...

    Cell enabled switch for preheater

    Count me as a Switchbox customer. Recently purchased from Phillip and used it for the first time today. Actually turned it on at 11pm Friday evening. This morning it was 30 degrees at the hanger, but my oil temp and coolant were 90F. I had a minor issue setting it up, easily and quickly...
