    Constant Speed Propeller Question

    anybody using two GI-275s to drive an Autoflite IIIB (Century IIB)?

    Austin Straubel for a Packer game

    LOL I was there in a 182, and the line of biz jets waiting for IFR release was rediculous. I was glad when the ground controller askred if I was able to accept an intersection departure ;-) I only have experience with Title Town (now the Signature FBO), and they are great All fees are waived...
