  1. Totally a big deal. Making me want to jump both feet into the G pool. GFC500, G3X, GTN750. Way nice. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  2. I won't be a renter so you can ignore my question if you want. But am curious why the rate increases $20 / hr after the first 10 hrs? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  3. I sign all my legal documents that way. Own all of them solely but have had people ask who other members are. Single member LLC still just a member. Thanks Lance. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  4. I was going to hook the aspen to my 440 and the g5 to my sl30. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  5. How much are people paying for their G5s and' installation? I was looking at doing 1 aspen and a g5 as a CDI/backup attitude at my May annual and my avionics guy said $5k for g5 with install. Seemed high to me. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  6. Thanks Brad. I'll message you now Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  7. At age 17, i question loading him up with debt to get a PPL. Why? There are MANY other ways than debt. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  8. Short bodies make really nice 1 or 2 people planes. No need to pay upfront for a mid body if you dont need it. I've found myself, when carrying passengers, to have a child or 2 with me waaaaay more than I originally imagined. I intentionally have been taking friends with kids on breakfast runs and didn't consider that when purchasing my E. Thankfully they've been young and can fit easily. Goal is to get a few kids hooked.

  9. I recall faintly a few years back someone saying there was a quirck with the FAA and a technicality that got someone's LLC plane registration kicked back a number of times before they caught on to the exact format they wanted. Anyone familiar with that? I'm not really expecting any legal protection from this. I own a home service, customer facing business with 6000+ customers locally and while I keep a low profile as the owner, i dont need someone falling into my registration when they google my name. Thought using one of my dumb LLCs would solve this. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  10. Mechanic that dropped the flap eariler this summer tried to say wings were not symetrical. I didn't see it. Even if that's the case, we can still get it straight, can't we? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  11. Talked with Brian,@Orionflt, and looks like he's going to fix this Sunday. No pressure [emoji23][emoji12][emoji1690] Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  12. Truly couldn't say. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  13. I don't think so. It will hold a straight course with the airlerons but the ball is less than a half width to the left. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  14. This one has the curved airlerons. Went out for an instrument lesson this morning. Yoke holding straight and level and the ball is not even half a ball width to the left. What's that tell us? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  15. It wss removed, no longer on the plane. Looking at a new autopilot this year so want this wing drop resolved before I move on that. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  16. That's correct. The drop is significant and immediate. I don't go hands off since I don't like how quickly it happens. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  17. I talked with them and almost had them re-rig it. Will totally be worth the flight once its fixed. I paid 2 hrs labor for my "rigging". [emoji53] Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  18. Thank you for this starting point. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  19. I calculated my E the other day to be doing 152 kts TAS with its 3 bladed prop. It's not a slow plane. It still surprises me how quickly it wants to rotate on the takeoff roll and how it just keeps accelerating in the air. What's the group's suggested next steps for 59X? Take it somewhere? Have the local mx look at x, y, or z? Sell it cheap and get an ovation - you'll have to pitch it to my wife. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  20. My step is a hand crank and I haven't lowered it in all but the first flight that I took. I guess I assumed it was fully retracted but I'll go double check the next time I go flying. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  21. I've seen some places call it a 1963 and other places it's called a 1964. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  22. When I pulled up on my plane on flight tracking while they were supposedly rigging it, they only did one flight in the pattern and I really thought that was odd. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  23. Ever since I've owned my E, the right wing has been heavy. Drops pretty quickly if I go hands off and most times I'm not able to maintain heading with rudder alone. I had a local mx look at it, he dropped a flap and it got slightly better. I also paid a MSC to re rig the plane and was disapointed to find minimal appreciable differences. As I'm solo flying the plane back from MSC, seat in forward flying position, the right wing still drops. Legs get tired and i want to stretch so i slide seat all the way back and the wing drops noticeably less. Any scientific reason for any of this? Should rigging make it dead straight no matter what? I want it hands free straight and level but never have had that yet. Should I keep working towards that? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  24. Sounds like we're in close-ish proximity. I'd be glad to show you my plane. I started similarly to your goal and it crept a bit but wasn't hateful. If you're dead set on garmin, no worries but if not, my guy at Lakefield, KCQA, does Avidyne, L3, trutrac. Great work and more than fair pricing. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  25. Dealer told me today that its negligible difference in price between upgrading a new pro1000 vs upgrading an E5, both going to a promax. Guess he didn't compare just buying a promax to start with Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
