I used Sporty's commercial last spring and then finished with Sheppard before the written. It was a good combo.

I have one of these in my plane. The description states "Self-leveling feature avoids spills and is perfect for motorcycles, ATVs, boats, and more" The "and more" is airplanes...

I have a simple panel in my Cessna 170 with these same instruments and am able to do light IFR without any issues. I have dual G5's. GNX375, and GNC255. Since it is a certified aircraft I'm required to have the other flight instruments and I don't have an engine monitor yet, but what you have...

You really just need to call them and get a quote.. They will give you your options. Easy to work with.

I got a quote this spring with 24 week lead time.

Stop in on Father's day (June 18th) at our great little grass strip in Geneseo, IL (just 20mi East of Moline, IL) for our fly-in breakfast. Airport Code = 3G8 2600' grass runway (09-27) Pancakes, sausage, applesauce, coffee, milk 7am-11am

Had a 2018 and put 70k+ miles on it before going with something smaller. Tons of space and was comfortable. Never had any major issues with it. When I drove I would turn off the auto-stop because it seemed slow on the restart. Our new Chevy Trailblazer has a much smoother re-start. The last...

Welcome from Geneseo.

Good restaurant on the field at Rochelle (RPJ) called Flight Deck. Recommend going there on a nice weather day and you can watch the crazy skydivers land right next to the patio. Pilot Pete's restaurant in Schaumburg (06C) Charlie's Restaurant at Bolingbrooks Clow airport (1C5) Chicago...

You can keep the piano keys and have updated avionics. I really like the capability of my 170A. It would be nice to have the radio and GPS in a center stack, but this works really well.

I have a 1951 170A and love it! It is a great flyer. Great looks. A tame taildragger that you can see over the nose. The 170 Association is probably one of the best type clubs out there. The 170 is simple to work on and has very few AD's. There are a couple rights of passage in 170...

I believe they have a 5 year warranty. You can call and give them the serial number from the head band and they will let you know if it is still in warranty.

One G5 (set up as an AI) can replace either the Attitude Indicator OR the Turn Coordinator, but not both. One G5 (set up as a DG) can replace a DG, but it cannot replace an Attitude Indicator or a Turn Coordinator. Most people do dual G5's and get ride of the vacuum system because they keep...

I second Sedona and add in the Grand Canyon... After you leave Mackinaw stop in at Kalamazoo, MI. The Air Zoo museum there is excellent and you can park your plane right there and walk in. Every aircraft in that museum is a showpiece. They have both a SR-71 and a F-117 too. I'd also...

We had a good trip to Pittsburgh. We landed at AGC (Allegheny County) and got quick fuel service from Corporate Air. We then got an Uber to take us to our hotel. Since we were going to the Pirates game that night we got a nice room at the Residence Inn which is right across the street from...

I had a shop replace an old KX170B Nav/Com radio with a new Garmin GNC 255 Nav/Com radio last year. The new radio was ~$4500 and the labor was ~$2000. Another option I considered was replacing the old KX170B with a new or used MX170B/C which were slide in replacements. That would have been...

I'll be in a Cessna 170. I actually fly out of Geneseo, IL so it would be fun to stop in at Geneseo, NY. Any chance there is a courtesy car at D52?

Thanks for the comments on AGC. Any FBO preference? Corporate Air vs. Atlantic? I called them and got their fees... seems like Corporate fees are slightly lower.

Noted and corrected....

I'm considering stopping in the Pittsburgh area in a couple weeks. My wife is a Cubs fan and they will be playing the Pirates when we are flying in that part of the country. Any suggestions on best airport in the area? Any hotel suggestions by the baseball stadium? Thanks!
