Still impressed by the Rocket

Did a quick flight today, Montreal to Boston in 1h14 air time (221 NM) according to Foreflight, with a GS as high as 217 Kts at 6500 feet... not too shabby at all for a 20 g/h, runnin 32 over 24...

I did'nt lean too much since I wanted to get there fast and boy did it ever...

I was watching the weather reps for you guys out east. I'm surprised anyone's flying back there. Looks like you were cooking right along. May I suggest posting to my "today's flight" thread. So here in the wacky west it was 70 degrees no wind no clouds unlimited visibility. Looks like we're headed for another draught year which sucks.

Nice.  And I see you have a GTN650.  Did it come with or did you have it installed?

 

Do you know what was the TAS?

 

One of these days you are welcome to stop by - my airplane is back in the hangar home from the avionics.  I flew two days ago with the new 830 in a "learn the new avionics" flight.  Two days ago it was also clear as a bell, still air - so still in fact that it was one of those days where you could only tell you are actually moving by looking out the window, and white and bright and "crisp" (10F on the ground).

You forget my New Year's resolution? I have swore off the double insulated ones. I'm into women who keep I shape this year;

Defintily doing that, one weekend where I don't have my son...

As for TAS, I actually did the calculation, I was about 188 kts, so not too shabby at all...

As for the 650, it was an add-on when I bought into the partnership, we installled the 650 and it costed alot.

How was the 830, it looks very easy to read and get all the data at a glance, I would love to change my EDM 700 for a 830, but my partner is not willing to invest on this, instead, we have agreed to redo the interrior this year, so the 830 or even better 900 will have to wait a couple of years.

I just hope weather clears up tomorrow, if not, well I will miss a day at work and have to stay here more, would'nt that be a shame... :)
