Ned Gravel Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 This guy should fly and then go look at gallery images of GTN750 installs on Mooneyspace and get back to me Ryan: All well and good, but for me the thrill of flight doesn't actually have anything to do with all the gadgetry I put in my cockpit. The thrill starts, for me, on the take off roll. The realization doesn't hit me until I have stopped cleaning up and checking everything after TOC. Look around and wonder......... Wow!! And at 150 knots too!! For me, the gadgetry is all about one thing and one thing only - helping me put the aircraft in the right place so that I can land safely. That's it. When I feel the need to enhance my chances of doing that under situations I have allowed (through planning good and bad) and I have the money for it, I will get it. Until then, I simply look forward to "taking the runway and lining up." No time for envy. Just for wonder. 1 Quote
DonMuncy Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 I don't think it is Texan. I think is typos from "what" to "want". Quote
