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.

When I got Foreflight about 10 years ago, I bought Foreflight PRO. It was always supposed to grandfathered in at the same price, maybe around $170 or so. Now they are saying I must upgrade to Pro Plus for $239 at the end of my subscription date ( December). Is this happening to anyone else? I am...

Thank you everyone ! I love the soft puffy clouds but, for now, will still count on a good pre flight briefing and ATC to avoid anything heavier.

Often Approach will alert me to localized heavy rain showers on my route. Is there an app that can show me this? I have Storm Tracker but I do not have any of the other external weather tools.

That had me laughng...

True... that's is like the uhhh said before the actual communication starts :)
