Hi everyone,
My wife and I made our first long cross-country this weekend: 1600 NM round-trip to Colorado and back from Alabama. On the return with favorable winds we did the 800 miles in 5.0 hours. The trip out took 6.5. With the PC system and properly trimmed, it almost acted like there was an autopilot on board. Sweet.
My only complaint- cold knees. My wife had a heavy coat she used for a blanket. I didn't. The central duct put out a nice jet of hot air, as did the two ducts pointing towards the rudder pedals- just not enough of it. The door seal is pretty leaky in the bottom front corner. Probably need to look at that before the next long cold flight. We think we really like this aircraft. Smiles all around.
