It was a nice weekend. I flew Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. This week has been plagued with thunderstorms though :-). Looks like Friday will be the only decent day, but we shall see.

Thanks, guys for the pep talk. I had a good flight yesterday, but it was bumpy. I don't mind the bumps, it just makes it harder to make nice turns. Anyway, like anything in life, if it was easy everyone would do it :-). @DonJinIA, I use FSX and VATSIM. That has really helped with my radio...

I hear ya. I was planning to roll right into my IFR rating after getting my private. I would like to be able to fly from AVL to the beach and to RDU. Probably a good way to get stuck taking extra vacation days if flying VFR :-). @Fallsrider, we did have ok weather here last week, but my...

Besides the unit, how much labor is involved to swap a GNS430 for a GTN650? I'm assuming, and maybe wrongly, a lot less than the initial install of a GPS.

Generally speaking, when do you consider them fully depreciated? 5, 10, 15, 20 years.....

I'm lucky to be in a situation where I have some liquid cash, let's say 60-65k. So, in the event I wanted to buy, why don't I ever seem to see the exit sale price of the plane in the calculation. I can't post links yet, but take a look at 2327298 on www.trade-a-plane.com as an example. It's a...
