First video

[Pictreed]

This is not a Mooney (soon) but I recorded my first flight.  Lots to learn about the software still. 

It's amazing how critical you are of your own flying when watching. 

Im using Final Cut Pro on a Mac.

Which seat are you in? A 172RG is a classic. You should make the video black and white.

Left seat.  

The registration number is N172RG which is kind of cool too.  ATC always gets a laugh out it.

Before I bought my first Mooney I put about 200 hours on a Cutless RG. I really liked that airplane. I had more then twice as much time in it as the owner.

how do you see anything with that big giant flat panel tv mounted right in front of you?

I actually made that same comment but cut it out.  It's going to get smaller and find a new location.

A lot of people really bash it and call it the "Gutless". I would love to give one a try.

I've enjoyed the RG. I've had some butt pucker moments in it because of lack of a little love in the maintenance shop.  One of them being a really long takeoff roll and climb out at 5000' density altitude but they've finally replaced the mags and it's much better. 

I am ready for a Mooney though which I'm working on now.

Eman, I also just finished instrument training so most of the time I was under the hood anyway.  Now that's done I've noticed how much it's in the way during VFR flight.
