Quad City Challenger walk around and cross-country flight

This was my first long flight in my Challenger. My total time in the aircraft was 1.7 hours and I need to make some comfort adjustments! I also learned that my GoPro turns off after an hour, so sadly the last portion of my flight and the landing were not recorded. Lessons for next time.

Awesome video - really gives the viewer an idea of what the plane is like. Looks like such a fun aircraft, and the visibility is incredible!

Good display walk around of your plane. I put one inch spacers on my rudder pedals because I'm 5'8 also and I felt like a ballerina with my toes pointed whenever I needed full rudder deflection such as turning around to back track. That didn't solve the problem so I moved my pedals so that they were more upright instead of tilted forward. That solved my problem, so you might want to give that a shot. I enjoyed your video.

@12:15 the engine noise sounds like the intro to Magic Carpet Ride.

Have you considered the 3rd door option? I will make getting in and out of the front seat WAY easier. It's an inexpensive upgrade, and would only take a weekend to install.

Looks like fun.

What gps unit is that your using for your primary?

[@therambler4747]

It's a Garma Aera 660. I had planned to rebuild the panel and integrate that unit into it better, but the unit died so that project was scrapped.

Sweet

How about a lot more flying and less talking

[@therambler4747]

The purpose of this video was to talk about the plane.
