That's funny... hadn't thought of that !

I got the 5 for 299, Apple's trade program for dead iPads, new and with 90 days warranty, doubled with AMEX. It is super fast and crisp.... so far. I hear they are coming out with a Mini7 in the Fall so maybe I will add that one later on. Thanks all for the advice and comments. It helped a lot !

OOPS I meant YOKE :(

That is an aspect I hadn't considered... Using Synthetic Vision more often on approaches would be more viable in Landscape,,, which is doable in a 172 or 161 type. Thanks for that tip !! You just tipped it back towards a mini 6. Can anyone else weigh in on that?

That is what I am also thinking...

I think there is a long time to go for a Mini 7 but what do I know....

That is interesting... I started using the Air 1 but generally felt it was too large on the yoke in a 172 / 161. Then I went to the Mini 4 an then 5 and they are a great size. Your comment about the 6 has me thinking. Anyone else find that true?

Not cheapo :) but now I am thinking about just taking the exchange for $300-$350 to a refurb Mini 5 from Apple.... it does come with some kind of warranty and it did run FF OK. BUT if the mini 6 is that much better, I would just go for it and use it traveling etc. I know it has double the RAM...

Apple tech said something in the motherboard fried and the connection broke... they said it does happen occasionally. No way to fix it unless I guess I knew how to totally take apart the entire unit. They won't even try a repair. I don't think it is worth sinking a couple of hundred into a maybe...

Great.. thanks !

Thank you !

Thank you.... I also find the Mini 4 freezes up occasionally. Did not find that with the 5 but if the loss of the button is workable, maybe that 6 is the way to go.

Thanks, I looked but no Cellular 64Gb models.

I use Foreflight and my Mini 5 with Cellular just died. Do you recommend getting another Mini 5 or upgrading to the Mini 6? It must be Cellular.

You are right! I got some good ideas there. Tks.
