Thank you. I've watched pretty much every video from him already. Great info.

Howdy Folks! Looking to upgrade the old Cherokee 180D with a glass VFR panel. I've read many different posts on various forums about Dynons HDX and the AeroCruze Autopilot. Any owners wish to share their experiences with either product here? I know the AeroCruze still has it's IFR limits...

Don't care about rear seat legroom anyways lol! My 69 Cherokee is the old short body with the absolutely useless rear bench seat. Useless for passengers that is. Perfect place to keep my portable oxygen and back pack full of snacks and drinks :biggrin: As far as Mooney's, my torso is tall and...

Depending how high up you are, the sheer cold temps keep your bits from dangling too low anyways :fingerwag:

I'm in the market too. Thought I'd share this from iPad Pilot News' website.... https://ipadpilotnews.com/2024/05/flight-testing-the-new-ipad-pro-nano-texture-screen/ Left is Pro 13. Right is Pro 13 Nano Screen.

No conversion needed as far as the Saratoga SP I was looking at. It's just a simple STC from ElectroAir that removes the "Twin Single Mag" and replaces it with two independent ElectroAir Ignitions. One off the mag Mount, one off a crank sensor installed behind the prop. The aircraft in question...

The PA28-235/Dakota's.....they hold 84 gallons as well don't they? I never thought of that. Not sure if it would get me further though.

Subjective is correct. It's annoying though that everyone differs in dimensions lol. I can comfortably get in a 152 (alone)!.....but I'm uncomfortable in a Bonanza :eek: My tall torso is the bain of my existence. Even cars I'm surprised at. I can fit perfectly in some compact cars with...

True lol! Considering I started with just a pair of KX-155s in my 180!

Fair question. I'm not a small guy. My 180 is not bad actually, that's why I own it. But it's not what I'd call "roomy"..... I'm not comfortable in Bo's. No matter how much foam is removed from the seat, my body build makes its too uncomfortable for me want to own one.... Never been in a...

Both are done. Looking for real world information on the aircraft themselves. Always take the POH numbers with a grain of salt!

Thank you VERY much for the reply! The Saratoga actually has a deposit on it already from another buyer, so that's off the book now anyways. But I found your claim of the ElectroAir problems intriguing, so I did a bunch of research last night. I didn't realize they're causing so much trouble...

Made a post a few weeks back about upgrading from my Cherokees 180D to ab Arrow 180. I've since realized that's a dumb idea (thanks guys!) I've come across two PA32s. The main reason for upgrading is range and "speed". One is a '67 Cherokee 6/300 (7700TT) 2 Owners since new. Fresh Victor Black...

As my buddy once said "any aircraft can reach Mach 1 if you try hard enough!".....:D

Found a Saratoga SP too. But I'm not convinced the extra 50 gallons of fuel being burned at 15-16GPH would actually give me more range o_O

I had a controller ask me "Can you give me anymore speed on final?" My reply was "Absolutely!" So I increased my decent and gave him an extra 2-3 knots :D He wasn't as amused as I was......

No that's ok. I know Aviation Unlimited had that 180D for sale a while back.

Thanks for the reply. The Arrow III and up I think have slightly more fuel capacity, but the extra room and tapered wings slow em down? I'm actually following the advice of my AME and CFI, and looking at Multi Engines. It's time. He trains on a Seneca II, which I've been in before. Love the...

Out of Oshawa? That 180 wouldn't happen to be FQER? The 180 is as bulletproof as GA aircraft can get in my opinion. Very little to go wrong! But speed is not it's strong suit lol. Fly safe!

I appreciate the reply! That's the rock I'm stuck between. Upgrade the 180D with avionics a d an autopilot, or purchase the lower hour Arrow with waas and autopilot already in it. Although, it looks like the Arrow may have a pending deal already :confused:
