    Two autopilots, 1 airplane?

    I get what your sayin, but since I have a Century IIb, I’d be happy to deal with a separate autopilot for vertical. It would probably require close to same button presses +1, and if you wanted to totally disconnect autopilot function, that would probably need an extra press. On the other hand...

    EarthX STC approved!

    My battery is in the tail on my PA28-181. Often when flying at full gross with passengers, I’m CG envelope limited and therefore will put some of the weight that I would love to keep in the 200 lb weight limited baggage area, back near the second seat row datum point. This battery would help...

    Drop in Upgrade for Century II Autopilot?

    That DAC GDC31 sounds cheaper, but an Aspen will do what you want. Keeping your vacuum AI will save $2500 over the EA100 option if you went Aspen.

    I want to go to OSH 2024... BUT

    Reminds me of what I did years ago cruising the country in my 1970’s camper van. Bought one of these window a/c unit units which worked like a charm in the electrified camping areas.

    Chicago Skyline Route

    That’s what I would argue in an enforcement action.

    Chicago Skyline Route

    I did this recently on last Labor Day weekend. Be aware that on the lakeshore down south, you need to be below 2300 for MDM Class C, or speaking to them. I got FF, but in my case, it helped that I cancelled IFR, at their recommendation if I wanted the shore route, and proceeded north on FF as I...

    Chicago to Alaska via Piper Arrow

    I am astounded by Mandym’s legs. He must have more than the 48 gallons useable that your Warrior and my Archer have as I would be surprised his increased TAS, while in full economy lean at reduced power, makes the difference.

    Chicago to Alaska via Piper Arrow

    Mandm, you have a gift for photography, although Alaska, as a subject, is hard to mess up.

    Flying Cars for everyone!

    I, for one, am rather enjoying these new and interesting concepts. Using the longitudinal oriented body while driving on roads, but then using that bodies long structural members as horizontally oriented airfoils are fascinating and are a way to convert energy in more familiar ways to our...

    Chicago to Alaska via Piper Arrow

    On my trip to Alaska, I changed the oil myself, without the filter, after 25 hours at Ft Nelson, BC on the ALCAN with the case of oil I carried with me. On the way back, it worked out that the oil + filter was changed 25 hours later in Whitehorse, Yk at a local FBO that I had pre-arranged with...

    Chicago to Alaska via Piper Arrow

    When logging into FlightAware to follow your legs, on the leg from KCLM to PAKT, you are only being recognized on the first 30 minutes or so and then the last 30 minutes. Usually when I’m on flight following in the CONUS, the entire leg will show up in the flight log until told to squawk VFR...

    Katamarino's Round the World flight

    Does Santa Barbara have approach control? Get that. Edit: forget that- too far away. What about Vandenberg, this is like a space flight.

    Someone should record Live ATC.

    Katamarino's Round the World flight

    KSMX is now VFR-A nice perk for a tired pilot. He is now picking up speed without descending- he must be feeling his oats, and smelling California air.

    Katamarino's Round the World flight

    He is now at my typical long x country distance of 400+nm to destination.
