Hello, I have flown mostly the King Air 90 but looking to downsize to a Baron. Does the aircraft have a "prop sync" mechanism. It seems from sound that your props sound out of sync... especially on take off. Thanks!
+David Endsley I am. I love them. I actually own three pairs. I've had them for over 10 years. I can't stand the pressure regular headsets put on my head. Especially when you wear sunglasses and on long flights.
+isaac Iorg I use to cruise at 170kt true. Lately I have been running at a higher power setting averaging more like 180kt true. I have the IO470s which are 260hp a side.
+David S yes it's a stock B55 with io470s. I usually pull the power back 22-23/2200-2300 and cruise at a 170-175 true and plan for a 25gph fuel burn including climb. Obviously that improves with longer trips. As you may have seen in my last video she is getting new paint so I may squeeze out a few more knots
Thanks! I have 2, One is the Sporty's JD-200 and the other is the Icom (I'll have to check the model number). I like them both but since I have headphone adapters for the Icom, I leave that one in the cockpit and keep the Sporty's at home. Be sure to check out my other videos!
Wow. Vintage Baron Pilot.
Haha thanks for going back and checking it out. Channel has come a long way.
Thank you for uploading this video. I am so glad to see this Baron here. Subscribed!
Thanks! Enjoy the videos!
Great song choice.
Hello, I enjoy your videos and the camera angles are great.
Thanks! This is one of my very early videos!
Great video! Thank you.
+Pavel .K Thanks! I was just experimenting but there will be more to come & I will be adding ATC audio and additional angles in the near future! :-)

+vecchiotom1 no electronic prop sync on my Baron. Just old school sound and wheel.
Beautiful =)
Good video, thanks.
This is an oldie!! But it brings back good memories!! Thanks for watching!
So why does your Baron not have that funky square in the lower center of the windscreen? I would love to know what it is.

Hi, im hoping to shortly have the use of a baron. What power settings do you use and what type of IAS do you get? Subscribed and Liked!
Welcome and thank you for subscribing. I fly at 2400/wot or 23” if down low. I tend to cruise 190 true
Nice Video, Are you using Clarity Aloft headsets and if so how do you like them?
+David Endsley I am. I love them. I actually own three pairs. I've had them for over 10 years. I can't stand the pressure regular headsets put on my head. Especially when you wear sunglasses and on long flights.
Thanks for your quick reply, I plan on getting a pair the over ear type give me headaches after about 45 min. in the air even the bose. Thanks again
Kick a$$ video will be subscribing
Glad you enjoyed it! Many more to come!
Nice...
LIKE THAT VIDEO.
Awesome video thanks for doing it.. what is your normal cruise speed, and what hp engines do you have?
+isaac Iorg I use to cruise at 170kt true. Lately I have been running at a higher power setting averaging more like 180kt true. I have the IO470s which are 260hp a side.
Is this a stock B55, what year? If so what is normal cruise and fuel consumption? Thanks.
+David S yes it's a stock B55 with io470s. I usually pull the power back 22-23/2200-2300 and cruise at a 170-175 true and plan for a 25gph fuel burn including climb.

What kind of handheld was you using. Nice vid.
Thanks! I have 2, One is the Sporty's JD-200 and the other is the Icom (I'll have to check the model number). I like them both but since I have headphone adapters for the Icom, I leave that one in the cockpit and keep the Sporty's at home. Be sure to check out my other videos!
What app you use on the ipad?
+Christian Ferreira in this video I just have ForeFlight. In newer videos I added a second iPad with the IFD100
Wow, that iPad looks to be in a very annoying position. This was a great video, thanks!
It was/is a work in progress. I think I have a better setup now.
sounds like it needs a tuneup
Are you flying for a charter company or just personal?
+abstractbybrian I'm flying for personal business.
