Nice looking plane - and great photography work.

I've been in and out of a few grass strips. The plane is fine if you fly it by the numbers in terms of performance. The landing gear is amazing, so I don't worry about my gear. The cabin sits higher than some singles, so I have good visibility and clearance. I do know that the 114 isn't...

I actually have two - an iPad Pro 10.9 in a mount in front of my copilot's seat. Plus an iPad Mini that stays on my knee. I like having the route of flight and numbers on the larger one - and then can use the smaller one to look stuff up or consider what if scenarios if I want to change my...

I tried building my own from Amazon parts. It worked "ok" - but - as services changed 3g, 4g etc... it would always be a pain to get going again. Then there was a SIM card to either renew before it expired or pay for and not need. If it expired and I lost my number, then it was a new SIM card...

Below is what someone sent me in 2017 about CO Aircraft sales/purhcase Purchase of an aircraft by the user of the aircraft – • Colorado taxpayers are subject to a use tax if the aircraft is hangered in Colorado • Colorado taxpayers are not subject to a use tax if the aircraft is hangered in...

Before I needed prescriptions - I found Oakely had a few models that offered non-polarized lenses. They weren't inexpensive, but, they worked great and were very comfortable. The models were "Tinfoil" and "Wire Tap" - but - I don't know what current models are. Now that I need corrective...

Blanche - I am planning on it! If we have time - I can show you the Switcheon box/app etc. Dean

My switcheon didn't work at first. I reached out to the company. They worked with me to find a solution and we're great to work with. Mine was running fine all last year - and I will probably get it all connected back this weekend. Dean

The Vikings perform very well - and as people noted above - if you maintain them correctly they can be solid planes. They made my short list - but ended up with a Commander. Their forum is very active and has a lot of good people with good info: http://www.vikingpilots.com/ Good luck Dean

2003 YZF-600R - Crossing the Painted Desert outside of the Grand Canyon.

Spotter - sounds like a bad experience. My plugs were made by the same folks that make hearing aids and hearing protection for commercial workers and shooters. I think they cost me $45.00. I have another pair (without the holes for the sound tubes) - that I shoot with - they provide great...

Ozone - so sorry for the delay - it's been a bit crazier than normal. Here are the pics. I hope this helps. I know my ears are hard to fit and I didn't like the inconsistencies of the foam or ear tips that came with the QT. Dean

Ryan - at one point in time - Okla State University - had a solid aviation program as well. Dean

Sure - I will be heading to the airport Sunday and will get a close up. It's was super simple and quick. What Bluesky posted is from the website. I've not had any problems equalizing pressure - I am only normally aspirated so I am not flying any too high. I cruise around 10K give or take a...

On other thing that you didn't mention and would need to be considered - what are the avionics like? Is the plane ADSB compliant? You can drop a boat load of money in a panel. So knowing what you are looking at, what you must have and what you want - in terms of panel updates should be...
