Just a point of reference for those that think they have to have an external gps to supplement the internal one. I have a 3G and only use the internal gps. On many xcountry flights this summer from south Louisiana to Tampa, Atlanta, and as far west as Missoula I have never had a problem with...

It is very cool and useful. I have a 430 in the panel and a 496 for weather on the yoke. I still find myself using foreflight to pull up information constantly.

Onwards, If you only fly locally then why are you even considering electronic charts? Buy your one local chart per cycle and be done with it. I have an iPad with 3G and foreflight because I travel. It works better than anything else for that. Hands down. You may not like apple but it's so far...

I have the 3G model and know quite a few people that regret getting the wifi only one. Say you fly somewhere and want to use it as a gps in the car. The maps app has to pull the map data from somewhere. It uses the 3G connection for that. What if you want to look up a hotel phone number on the...

I don't speak for the group but I would tell you to go over to avweb and read the savvy aviator columns that concern LOP operation. I run a lycoming io540 in my PA-32 without an engine monitor or gamis and can most assuredly run LOP. Above 8500ft at full throttle and 2400rpm I run 13 gph: well...

But that guy doesn't need a year of training to drive that boat. He just buys it and jumps in. That's the major difference.

Depending on the dates, I'm interested in the DFW location as well.

I mount my iPad on a ram mount suction cupped to the windshield of my Cherokee Six. It hangs over the glare shield just to the right of the radio stack.

Thanks bill. Mind PMing me what that threshold is for posting links so I don't keep bothering you.

Nope. I can only post in this forum. I'm trying to post in the thread on testing the piper autopilot in the maintenance forum and keep getting a message that my post has to be approved by a moderator.

Jay, the ground test procedure is in the manual in this link. http://www.oldsforgeflyers.com/manuals/archerautopilot.pdf

Thanks for the welcome. I lurked a lot a year or so ago but was reintroduced by Dr. Bruce last night from the red board. I shot an email via the contact us link at the bottom of e page early this morning and just tried to post the same thing from last night and still no luck. Frustrating...

I attempted to make a post to a thread last night which would have been my first post. I got a message telling me that it had to be approved by a mod before posting. Does that happen every time or is it just the first post that I make to be sure I'm not a spammer?
