Thx. Glad it was helpful.

Yes, since it does not have navcoms it cannot do ILS and localizers and only does RNAV, LPV, plus gps guided visual approaches.

yes, no problems with it. Still consider it one of my best investments into that plane.

8192P is will be posted for sale again soon. Waited over 4 months for fuel tanks to arrive now waiting on installation then I'll repost it. Yes, I bought a twin for the longer, more challenging flights in my new job. Needed to go faster and 2 engines is much more comforting in hard IR, crossing the Great Lakes, over mountains, etc. Sorry, been too busy to get back to making a video. Hope to this summer.

A more civilized time I guess, except for the ashtrays. Bonanza’s are super cool. I am a new Beech owner myself.

glad it was helpful. I am learning a new plane with a 750 in it. Learning the 375 helped. Also download the garmin training app. Helps with getting familiar. I did so with the 375 and now the 750. best wishes. Scott

No, this gps has ads-b in and out and Bluetooths it to you iPad or device you are running ForeFlight on. You won’t need a Sentry or Stratus (unless you really want redundancy). I sold my Stratus. All I had to do was connect during preflight just like I used to do with my stratus. hope that helps.

Thanks for your quick reply. That info helps,Happy flying God bless @@BlessedtoFly

@@BlessedtoFly Does this mean iPads without GPS can be used just as easily?

@@JabariHunt Haven't tried without gps but should work as long as it can connect with bluetooth. Only benefit I could think of is you can upload your flight plan. Not sure how adsb weather and traffic would work without gps but it might.

thanks. yes, the Mike Busch explanation of how to run these engines made sense to me. Later I learned John Deakin had been writing and teaching this long ago.

thx Andrew. It’s been a great plane for me. Getting close on something faster with Tks. You still get to fly with Bob. Love that guy. Learned a lot from him.

@@BlessedtoFly been slacking with continuing my training but I still try to drop in to see Bob from time to time. Our 180 is in for Annual and getting some work done so I'm itching to get back at it!

Bonanza has become the primary target. I want a robust airfraime, fast, some weather capability, and cheap. Those don't all go together though. Turbo Mooney and Bonanza seem to be the best options. Looked at Columbia 400 too but concerned with the maintenance cost. Would like to buy everything I need at once but also looking at finding the right airframe and upgrading later. Thanks for watching!

Thanks

no, not for sale yet. planning to find my next plane first. Maybe in September if things go well.

thanks! I do hope to make it back and drop in on my chapter 260 friends someday. Maybe a young eagles event too. You all have an excellent EAA chapter there an I was glad to be part of it for a while.

thanks. Video equipment, editing software and my laptop all let me done the past 4 or 5 times I tried to make one. GoPro freezing has ruined a few. probably should get another one. timeline on putting her up for sale depends on buying a new one. Could be early September but could be next year if the one I’m looking at falls through again.

Yes, budget is very important. Realistically, $200 - $300+K to find something with this capability. I have a plane targeted now but am not going to say anything about it until a deal is made and prebuy completed. Last one fell through.

200 kts would be ideal. I have to admit I don't know much about the experimental planes. There are some great Lancair and Glassair models out there but they lack the deicing capability typically. The Columbia 350 / 400s look very interesting though but prices are up there. Yes, budget is very important. Realistically, $200 - $300+K to find something with this capability. I have a plane targeted now but am not going to say anything about it until a deal and prebuy are made. Last one fell through.

I think Jimmy buys at a super low price to fix and sell. I don't think this guy would get what he could for this plane from Jimmy

nope, one wife is enough. Job change.

unfortunately my work schedule is keeping me away from a lot of fun airplane stuff. schedule is pretty packed the next few months.

Well I try to learn from my mistakes and strive to get better every year. Have a good day.

Sorry you didn't care for it Ron. In the editing software I thought I turned it down enough but not for everyone I see. Music options for us little RUclipsrs are limited due to copyright concerns. The choice isn't great but was the best I could do at the time. Thanks for your comment and have a great day.

none taken. I’m still learn both piloting and editing. The music ends before take off too. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks. I like to be 9K - 11K if the winds are good. I started carrying the emergency relief bottle but haven't had to use it yet but I have had a few landings I wished I did!

Thanks Miles. Bet you have gorgeous country to fly it around out there. Would love to make it West someday.

thanks Gerry. The magic of GoPro stabilization dampened my bounce. Was just at BULT for a chapter meeting. There is a group of guys restoring a 1946 Bellanca CruisAir in a hanger. Really cool. Check them out next time you are down there.

@@BlessedtoFly one of the restorers; Bob, is in our EAA chapter. He gave us an update on the progress last month. Looks like a REAL project. The are making good progress with the help of a patient A&P.

thanks. l do love the room inside too. Still tough for any of us to fill the seats and fly very far though. Fortunately it’s usually just me and all the gas I can fit at the cheapest stop!

You are absolutely right! Rw 18R has an ILS approach and the plate shows MALSR lighting. I didn't think of that at the time. In my little mind I was thinking that was where ATC went fishing on their breaks. Always glad I have you guys to keep me straight.

@@BlessedtoFly I would have probably thought the same thing. Only reason why I noticed it is because SFO has the same thing and I fly around there frequently.

Glad you like them!

Thanks mate!

Thanks. EAA 260 is a great organization.

thanks Garry. Yes, looking forward to the next Young Eagles!

Wow, fantastic questions and a fantastic idea. I had wanted to do something like this a while back but was discouraged and didn’t get it done. Thank you. I’ll get to work on it this fall. Part of being blessed to fly is having good people around me for guidance. count you as one now! thanks.

thanks Glenn

@@BlessedtoFly I feel your pain. I can get video, but my audio sounds like I'm talking with a mouth full of cotton, or the audio is good but my camera dies after 10 minutes and I can't reconnect.

Yes it is. Good eye! It was installed with the autopilot system because it needs it. I am spoiled in that I use the electric trim when cruising but when I shut off the AP I revert back to using the trim handle. Thanks for your comment.

@@BlessedtoFly awesome. So I just recently purchased a Comanche 180 and have been slowly bringing it up to speed. Can you tell me where you got it? I need that in my life :)

@@travelingchef3242 I think any avionics shop should be able to help you out or point you in the right direction. Mine was installed by a previous owner way back in 1993. It was part of the STEC 60-2 installation.

I bet that 260 was a nice travelling machine. Thanks for watching and commenting and hope you can stay involved somehow. Maybe your local EAA chapter?

@@BlessedtoFly Unfortunately, my flying days are behind me. I am lucky though, as I have Chino Airport, Corona Airport, and the old March Air Force Base Museums close driving distance.

Same with other planes it depends on how it’s equipped,, cared for, upgrades, engine life, paint, time on the air frame,….. The range could be $50k to 100. I survey trade-a-plane every couple months to see what they are listing for.

are you in PA or IL?

Thanks for watching. Hope you got something out of it. Never too late. A lot of us didn't get our PPL until mid 40's to 60's. Your local EAA chapter is probably a good place to get active. Usually good people that can help you with your goals and they have good events you can help support (Young Eagles!). We have an event at C56 this weekend. Best Wishes!

@@BlessedtoFly Thank you. I plan to visit both groups and check them out.

about 140 kts at 9 gph. Depends on power setting and altitude.. Just flew Friday at 9000 ft and trued 138 kts at at just under 8 gph.

luckily there is no coin slot or dollar bill taker that I have to feed in flight. It prefers larger denominations or checks between flights.

you have to keep feeding money into the airplane and it flys.

Thanks! N8192P just came back from it's first trip to Oshkosh. We hit the dot on landing but the GoPro froze up in the heat so no video on it. Parked next to another 180 from Houston and walked past several others in "Comanche Town". Great time but exhausting.

think the POH says 18500 ft for service ceiling. I’ve cruised at 11k many times and at 13k once or twice. Climb rate slows noticeably around 8 - 9k so the winds have to be really worth it. I have not seen one with aux and tip tanks. Only the 250/260s have them as far as I know. But with just mains and tip tanks you’d potentially have 7 to 8 hours endurance.

Thanks. 18,500 is the ceiling at max gross (2550), but the copy of the POH I have (Page 1-6) says 25,500 at 2000lbs. That’s probably a brand new airplane with a test pilot, but it sure seemed impressive to be able to get that high with a normally aspirated 4cyl engine. I’m thinking of a 1450nm flight hence the aux plus tip tanks question.

@@colinbrathwaite334 for high altitude flying I recommend an electronic ignition. Advances the ignition for altitude, saves fuel, and I’ve heard mags can struggle up high unless the are made for it. Probably should consider a turbo if you plan to go over 15k. The turbo twin Comanche would be the ride I would pick.

That's a crazy story but I believe it. Thanks for sharing it. I too have had close calls with geese, ducks, vultures, and a bald eagle. The former owner had a gear up landing and he made me promise that I would check the gear three times before every landing. And thanks for your service Marine. I was Army, 82nd Airborne for a while. Apparently they didn't beat the desire to fly out of me. Then again, I think flying is still safer that what we used to do!

@@BlessedtoFly Dang a bald eagle? ha thats crazy! Me and my dad got a special flip tab check list in the cockpit of our Comanche and i think it was a good idea. I have no idea where my dad got it from but it was worth every penny!

Yes it has a nice fuel planning page in the Utilities tab. Garmin has a free simulator for iPad you can download to get more familiar with it on the ground. Do a search for garmin 175 simulator. I used this and it helped quite a bit as this was my first Garmin gps. Thanks for watching and your comment.

@@BlessedtoFly Great, thanks for the information.

Thanks for watching and for your comment. Where is home base and what do you fly?Hope you didn't get too much snow / ice in the storm this week. We got about a foot.

Glad you liked it. Mooneys are nice travelers. the Comanche is a bit slower but you gain some more room inside. If you plan to fill the seats the 250/260s are better. The 180 fits my mission for well now. Thanks for your comment and wish you well with your decision.

Yes, the plane has an Stec 60-2. It works well but won’t fly holds or sharp intercepts without help. i switch back and forth between heading and nav modes as needed. An auto pilot is huge for me on cross country flights or if I get task saturated in imc. if you skip to the end of that vid I think you’ll see it. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for your comment.

thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I have a good instructor.
