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...

I've used the Halo's for 4-ish years. Love them - but - I cheated. I had some custom molded earplugs made and that have an elbow connector that connects to the flexible sound tubes on the Halo. Any hearing company can do them and the sound tubes on the halo use a standard gauge that is part...

Here is 42W. Before and After she got painted a few years ago.

I am based in Denver (Front Range / Colorado Air and Space Port). My 114 is NA. I considered a turbo and turbo normalized, but, I was leery of increased maintenance costs and potential failures. Plus the bulk of my flying is to the South. I have crossed the Rockies several times (St George...

Current count is 20 to 21 Commanders who have PO's - so if anyone on here is thinking about it - It looks like this is going to happen. Of course it's all speculation until the company moves ahead. Then it's a waiting game for them to get the STC done. But, if Genesys doesn't move forward, I...

As of 12/31/2020 - Commanders are not on Garmin's list. I've pasted the list from Garmin below. It does state "subject to change" so if they added Commander in the last 6 weeks - they have not shared that. I also am not sure how realistic it would be - there are other planes out there with...
