Thank you for letting us know about some spectators touching aircraft. I have made the Fly-In manager and Airport Manager aware of this concern to see how we can improve the situation.
I hope you can join us

I would think the RV-10 would be the most comfortable for longer trips by far due to its size. I have flown in the 6, 7 with both being tight cockpits and I'm only 6 feet 185lbs. I did sit in a 14 and a 10 with the 10 having the best seating for me. My Piper Archer is more comfortable than all...
Has anyone used a fire extingisher in a PA-28 in flight? Are they required? My 85 Archer has mine mounted below the circuit breaker panel on the copilot side.

The runway is 2200 ft asphalt.

If you have flight plan transfer working then you are connected. There may a setting you are missing in Pilot. Try buddies Foreflight.
Your set-up will actually give you an AHRS to the Pilot AI. Nice backup.
Same here.
Paul B does a great job on his videos.
I was considering updating the Archer to add a 406ELT, but after seeing this video I'll save my money and continue to use ADS-B, Cell phones, a 406 PLB, and flight following.
Due to the Covid-19 situation, and to follow our Governor’s executive orders, we are revising this year’s planned Simsbury Fly-In, Car Show, and Food Truck Festival.
We are pleased to tell you that we will be holding a series of alternate events at Simsbury Airport that will provide a safe and...
