I'm still rocking the mini4. Will do so until its last breath. after that, I don't know what I will do. currently getting the Dynon HDX installed in my plane. Not sure I will need FF after that.. still might be a good back up if things go south. I may just use it only on my phone at that point...
I cant answer your question but I was in the same crossroads as you are now. I went with Dynon. Just dropped the plane off for install monday. good luck!
in my neck of the woods the A&P Shops are mostly 1 man endeavours, and most of them are winding down in their careers. I assume they want more time at home and with family. I have a side job at the local class C airport and work ramp ops with a lot of young kids in the local A&P school. They...

the longest I have been was somewhere close to an hour and ten or so without an AP. it was tiring, but excellent experience. That said, I knew that if the vacuum system died I could descend to clear air. I enjoy the challenge of solid IMC when I know I have an out.
I am certainly looking fwd...
Chris, thanks for the info. This is very helpful. really glad you mentioned the ETA part.. I wonder why the US doesnt care about the time I come back as long as the day is good.
I plan on filing IFR from KIAG to CYTZ via FF.... I guess if it's nice I could do it VFR...ok now I feel dumb...
I have class 3 med at the moment. planning on following the coast up to Buffalo and crossing over there. I'll probably fuel up somewhere near buff and the file IFR into CA....at least thats my tentative plan.
Posted this in another board, didn't get much action. Hope the bigger population here can offer up some ideas.
I plan to take the wife to CYTZ for 2 nights for her 40th. I have jumped through all of the bureaucratic hoops and got stickers, and licenses and all that jazz. While I am a bit...
