About $200 for 1.5 hours of flying. You only pay for the time the engine runs. So the pre-flight time or the time it’s on the ground doesn’t count.

Things have changed, we have quite a lot on newish Cessnas, Diamonds and Cirruses

They are both very reliable airplanes if maintained right. Pick a club that has a good number of airplanes and has its own hangar with mechanics. If there are a lot of Cessnas and they have their own A&P (mechanics), you should see a better maintain airplanes. I fly out of Palo Alto and we have quite a lot of Cessnas and our own shop to maintain them. Very easy as if I have any concerns/questions, I stop by the hangar and chat with our chief mechanic.

It’s good when you like the plane you learn in. I tend to believe that you should learn in the airplane that’s mostly available to you and its complexity should not be a factor. In fact, it’s better to learn in less demanding aircraft. You have so much to learn and the last thing you want to do is dealing with more “challenging” plane. This goes against all decision making rules form FAA. But I wouldn’t say Piper is more complex. Cessna is just like a big elegant (SUV). Give you more time to process and think.

The simple answer is no, once you have your PPL (ticket), you can fly on a single engine aircraft, typically it’s the one you trained on (my case Cessna 172). If I don’t fly for sometime due to my business demands a lot of time, I always take my CFI (instructor) for a flight to make sure I’m current (able to fly all required procedures). If I go somewhere further/longer I take my CFI as a safety pilot. If you decide to fly on more demanding aircraft right after getting your PPL, such as Cirrus SR22 or Vision Jet or Pilatus PC-12 or other similar, you can also do that with you PPL. In that case insurance will require sufficient training in these aircraft and will require you to have an instructor or second pilot (who is rated and experienced) to fly with you all the time until you reach certain number of hours as Pilot in command. To conclude: after you get you PPL you can fly solo and take your friends and family in small aircraft like Cessna 172/182 or the one you used for training. If you feel the route is complex, it’s a good idea to bring a safety pilot or CFI.

Thank you

How'd you go start? I want to do this in Miami have zero experience

One of the best places is here SkyEagle Aviation Academy (954) 772-1212 maps.app.goo.gl/gXsxjb4oFZRpwUDK8?g_st=ic

Otherwise just look for a flight school. And start doing the Ground school early.

@@TheAlexIceman Thanks So Much!!!

Your instructor is not entirely correct or you didn’t understand his point of view. I only turned for half pistons it get into one position to check for hydrolock. It’s only done when I can physically see the keys on the dashboard. If done properly it’s a safety percussion. However, there are two different postings of view on this topic, spinning more than I indicated is dangerous for the very reason you’ve mention plus if somebody forgets to get the keys out and switch off all electrics, this can be a problem. Hydrolock or not, your choice I do it very carefully with the knowledge I have plist only when I visually see keys on the dashboards and masters are off.

Most likely homeless :) I still rent my place.

Right!? You learn so much from it!

Спасибо!

Thanks for letting us know hahaha I’m not even going to watch.

Haha, no it’s not. Had to learn it from scratch.

Thank you!

It’s actually pretty close. I def finally get mine charged in about 2h timeframe. It I only lasts 3h playing somewhat heavy games like Witcher 3

Aviation and Space exploration has been my passion for many years. I used to fly sims and enjoyed it a lot. A couple of years ago I decided to make my move and get my PPL. I love to challenge myself and learning to fly was a challenge. Defiantly a lot of learning and I love it. Nothing beats the view out of the airplane.

I completely agree! I love this one a lot and still use it every other day!

Agree

Steam deck should be pretty cool, but I like this one as well.

Haha good point!

I should ping him

It was crazy busy today, I agree, I’m the other hand, you learn to fly a tight pattern and very sharp ATC. It’s one of the busiest airspace’s in the US. If you can fly here, you can fly anywhere.

I’m sure we will see a line up of similar devices and it’s just the beginning

Thank you!

That’s true. But even with the old wifi it works pretty well. Mine came with the right chip though.

Also, the Biwin NVMe in the Win3 is of very poor quality. Several users have experienced NVMe failures within a few days of getting the device, so plan on replacing it with a WD, Samsung, or Crucial NVMe (Inland or Sabrent also seem to work ok). As with all 'niche' devices, just be aware there is little support from GPD, and return or replacement can take a long time if you buy directly from them via IGG. If you plan to get one, pick it up from either a local reseller or Amazon. You'll pay a little more, but you'll run into less issues if you decide to return it. With that said, I really like my Win3, but this is not a trouble-free device, and you *will* need to tinker with it quite a bit to get it just right.

Hmm. Ok, so far so good for me. I use it every day for the last 3 month and all is good. The only thing I had to replace is the analog stick as I dropped the thing and damaged one stick.

Totally agree. Also with steam deck you won’t be able to run older games or emulators, unless you manually reinstall windows

@@TheAlexIceman if I'm not mistaken linux actually has some better working emulators, since steam os seems to be a flavored version of archlinux, but the performance is negligible imho, so both operating systems should be fine- my main concerns are really coming down to compatibility with windows based games not agreeing with proton, because while i love linux, i know that it doesnt always play nice with windows made games, and of course- the size haha

My goal was to be able to run GTA 2 and games like Railroad tycoon 1/2 and while it’s not important for 90% of users, for me it is a deal breaker and Linux will not make it easy to play them.

@@TheAlexIceman yep- while i love linux, it isnt as plug and play as windows when it comes to gaming, i hope valve can overcome this but the win 3 is gonna be the safe bet, i feel.

Just wait a bit, there are many consoles that are coming out soon and I’m sure next year we will see a lot of them.

A bit more powerful, like 1000 times :))) hahah

There are 3 main Switch emulators for Windows: Yuzu, the most advanced Switch emulator: yuzu-emu.org/game/?ez_cid=CLIENT_ID(AMP_ECID_EZOIC) Ryujinx, a simpler but functional alternative: ryujinx.org/download/?ez_cid=CLIENT_ID%28AMP_ECID_EZOIC%29 Cemu, the emulator of WiiU par excellence: Nintendo made a lot of games for WiiU: cemu.info/?ez_cid=CLIENT_ID(AMP_ECID_EZOIC) I use all 3 as some games run better on one or the other. But Yuzu is my main one. Hope that helps!

Thank you so so much.

No problem. Always happy to help!

Do you need to update and configure stuff. I have win 3 coming and want help

I’m a software engineer and a white hacker :) but thanks for offering :)

I use a special adapter www.mypilotstore.com/MyPilotStore/sep/11806?gclid=CjwKCAjwlrqHBhByEiwAnLmYUCP01KOIXRcSUXCnmLemHcorgFYBWPaQtoh70VCBo8lyu_056uQPNBoCaAcQAvD_BwE

I feel the same way, now I’m thinking about onexplayer, maybe I’ll get one as well. It’s been a life changer for me. With all the work and stress, this thing keeps my mind clear of anything else!

That’s a good one too. Do you mind letting me know how it feels once you get it. I agree that the screen could be a bit bigger if you use Windows itself or not optimized games.

It’s looking pretty good, is it out yet?

@@TheAlexIceman if you buy from their website I think it ships in August sometime.

I’m also looking at OneXPlayer. The console can defiantly benefit from bigger screen

@@TheAlexIceman but i heard you said you don't like the Steam Deck because it can't fit in your pocket and now you want a Onexplayer thats even bigger than the Steam Deck?

I didn’t say I don’t like Steam deck cause of the size. I don’t like the specs, the Linux environment and not all games will be supported right away. Also no mouse emulation if you reinstall windows. I’d also expect a better screen from such device. Size is not an issue.

You don’t have to be a full-time gamer to share your thoughts, right? I casually like to play my favorite games and GPD is an ideas setup for me. And you are right, I’m not a gamer, I’m a software engineer and an entrepreneur. Just sharing my excitement.

@@TheAlexIceman just ignore the idiot

Handhelds are great for people who can only play games occasionally. I used to play games constantly, i ordered one of the Win 3s competitors because I'm a trucker and don't have as much time to game anymore, and the few pockets of free time i do have my Switch is more convenient but I'm a PC gamer at heart

Thank you!

Good choice!

Yeah and still play many Nintendo games anyway lol Just finished downloading a handful of wii games for my win 3

I’m in love with the fact that you can play virtually any game on this thing. I’m a big fan of old school games for PC and I can run these with no problems. I’m playing Witcher 3 the wild hunt now and it’s been awesome!
