With no disrespect to Jaime, this is probably my favorite video, Kevin. As a pilot-wannabe, this was incredibly informative. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put these out for our enjoyment. "That's what the yoke looks like. That used to be the thing that I touched to fly the airplane... before I was replaced... by that guy". Priceless!
What a great video Kevin. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the cockpit and your explanation of the gauges, etc. Thanks so much for allowing us to ride along with you. I lost my medical a few years back and your videos sure bring back lots of fond memories. Thanks again and hope you and your wonderful family have a super Easter.
Glad you enjoyed it Rick and sorry to hear about your medical! Too bad you couldn't get in under basic med before that. Hopefully you can get back up one day if you're still interested. Happy Easter!
Kevin, your flight around the Instrument panel and controls is the most granular and informative tour I have ever seen! You have a great way of explaining how everything important works. Looking forward to the next installment. I love all of your air adventures. My best to you and yours. I live near DuPage County Airport and would love to meet and greet some day. Happy Easter! Mel
@@310Pilot I am retired so my time is free most days. Every day is like Saturday to me. I don't know how to PM on RUclips so if you choose communicate to me we can cross paths in the future. Cheers
Kevin, thank you for the walk through of both the new and the older systems. From my high school years in Rome, GA, dad and I flying out of Russell Field, Skylane later Twin Aero Commander, my true fascination or love was for the 310's. They would capture my attention instantly. There is a beauty about these babies that just rings my bell today. I love that you are sticking with your beauty and are willing to update her . Though a TN Vol, I do want to wish you both a wonderful Easter, my Bulldog friend !
You're welcome William! Here comes some small world... My grandfather helped build the airport there at Rome. My whole family is from Armuchee (where the airport is). I fly there regularly for family reunions and to visit. The first flight I made when I got my license was flying my mom there to visit her mom. Happy Easter and Go Dawgs!
Talk about a game changer. You having time to show us around was great. The updates you intend to make to the dash, make a lot of sense. On the first boat I drove with an autopilot, named it Jeff, after a helmsman I use to work with. Every time I'd turn around and check, it was off course and we were making corrections. Always keep watch on the crew around you, human or electronic. Thanks for the episode. Hope you guys have a fun Easter.
Game changer indeed Karl...I'm loving the extra time I have to monitor upcoming weather, brief approaches, monitor the systems and enjoy the scenery a bit more. :) I will keep a close eye on the new electronics but so far she's been handling things great!
Very informative. That comes from an older guy that has several years on flat top carriers as ground crew wishing I'd have learned to fly when I was younger. Enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.
Great video Kevin. Thanks for the dash tour with the new equipment and showing us what the other gauges are for. It's always fun to play with new toys for your favorite past time. Fly safe
Awesome job giving us a tour of your cockpit. Its hard to wrap my head around all you do, i love to watch you fly. That is an impressive system you had installed. Again hard to believe that its possible to have that hi-tech equipment in a early 1970`S model aircraft. Waiting for volume 2. GREAT VIDEO!! Love your channel!
That has to be one of the most thorough explanations of an specific instrument panel and all the switches, gauges, and added " new tech" features that I've seen yet. Thanks for the detailed explanation Kev...God Bless Grace & Peace bro...
Kevin, great walkthrough of your cockpit! I love seeing how everything looks and how some of your flows work with dealing with fuel management! This single upgrade is probably the best one by far! Can wait to see more videos. .....you know with the autopilot you are going to be forced to do more talking in cruise! We know it's your favorite thing to do! Thanks for the video! Enjoy learning the S-Tec!
Excellent explanation of the instrumentation Kevin---the new A/P is earning its keep going home! Enjoyed the video and enjoy the new toys from Cajun Country!!
I liked that video very much Kevin. I'm not a pilot, I wish I was, but I find your videos so interesting. AP looks really smooth, looking forward to part 2
WOW! I was so involved with everything that is so interesting to me as a non pilot aviation geek that this video flew by, i swear it just started before I knew it was over. I can see you really, REALLY! love that autopilot. Can't wait to see the new panel after annual. Thanks again Kevin...
Awesome...It's really cool that the non-pilot viewers enjoy the ins and outs of everything that makes flying possible. I'd be the exact same and I try to talk to the pilot and non-pilots in the bunch. :) Thanks for the feedback Mike!
Thanks for the tour of the instrument panel. As for your struggle with where to put the GoPro, I can relate to that lol. You keep putting out enjoyable videos and thanks for doing so. I hope you guys have a great time at Sun in Fun!
Glad you enjoyed it David! I think I have the instrument panel mount figured out...just waiting on a part from amazon. Sun n Fun was a blast and I'm starting to work on those videos now.
Very nice tour Kevin! When you get ready to replace the 530W/430W....I highly recommend the GTN 750. Oh my gosh!! It is SO much more advanced and easier to use than the 530/430. You won't believe how much information the 750 gives you. I love mine. Have fun in Florida!
Glad you enjoyed it Robert and thank you for the recommendation! We went to Sun n Fun to decide between the Garmin and Avidyne units and made our decision there. We will be unveiling it soon. :) As good as the 530/430's were, we are excited to improve on them. :)
Happy Easter Kevin, Jaime and kids! Kevin, great work on the video explanation of the panel and functions. I fly flight sim a lot and your explanations makes my enjoyment of my sims that much more informative and real. My wife and I tour on a big Harley so our modifications to our ride is a lot like your upgrades that make your flying so personal and enjoyable, too. We are not into the Harley 'bling' as it were. Been there, done that, so our mods are for better navigation, comfort and planning. So looking forward to the next video adventure!!
The new AP has your 310 flying smooth as glass. At first glance the panel appears complex when in reality, very straight forward and user friendly. Nice layout !
Thanks John! Loving the last 15 hours with the new 3100...it really is amazing. Other than having two of everything, it really is pretty straight forward. Excited to get the panel all finished. :)
Hi Kevin, really enjoyed seeing the new layout and hearing your commentary on the instruments functions. The AP certainly makes flying a lot easier for you. Looking forward to part two !
Great videos, Kevin. I've told some of my pilot friends about your channel. Someday, I'd like to get my license and start training. Your videos are helpful. I'm able to discuss some of the technicalities of flying with my pilot friends because of your channel. Thank you for sharing!
Really really enjoyed the full cockpit tour and the fact you had time to it, it seems you will be looking for more content to fill your flights in the future with the new autopilot taking the strain!
Glad you enjoyed it and you're right about having the time to finally do something like this. I've been asked several times before but with having to hand fly, it really wasn't possible. :)
Excellent tutorial of the new panel, Kevin. I always look forward to your videos. In the late 90's and early 2000' I managed an FBO at Lakeland and always looked forward to Sun-n-Fun week. As an FBO we were given passes to all the events, plus, I could simply look out of my office window throughout the day and watch the flight demonstrations. Before long you're going to have the best equipped 310 out there ... looking forward to part 2 of your trip home from Texas. In the meantime, keep your airspeed up.
Glad you liked it Patrick! That would have been really cool to have a full time front row seat to Sun n Fun. The old bird has come a long way since I've picked her up and we have a few things left to do to finish her up. It's been a lot of fun to take her into the modern era and she's much safer to fly now. :) Loving keeping that speed up!
Kevin... I am a huge fan of your panel set up and future plans. We just upgraded to the G500 TCXi w/ 10.6" display. Love it! Spoiled myself with the Delta D2 watch. I'm officially grounded from panel upgrades by the wife. Hope to cross paths with you all in Northern Illinois soon.
Thanks Jason...sounds like your plane got a sweet upgrade as well! I'm probably going to be officially grounded here soon as well. Going to get through the GPS modernization project to match the autopilot modernization and then may have to take a little break on things. All that would be left is a fresh paint job and maybe an EDM960 or something similar. :) Hope to see you around one day. Will be at OSH if you're going.
hey Kevin...EXCELLENT Tour of systems and instruments Sir! I grew up in a 1964 310i Model (N8006M) from new thru 1970 or so with my Dad (a 30K ATP Rated Commercial Pilot) and although it still sported the old panel it all seemingly is very familiar as you have presented it! "WELL Done" and Happy Easter to you and Jamie ';-)
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it sir! I really like the idea of modernizing her while still keeping many of the old features. As long as I can...I'm not keen on the idea of dumping money into the old engine instruments and may go digital to replace them one day and if I do that, I'm going to miss them. I do plan on keeping my digital version of the 6 pack though. :) Happy Easter!
Thanks for the tour! Can't wait for part 2 and for you showing off your cleaned up panels (hopefully not to far in the future). :-) I love your channel and your professionalism. I enjoyed flying single engine Cessna's back in the early 1990's, but had to give this hobby up for several reasons. Now I enjoy it again from your back seat. :-) Happy Easter to all of you!
You're welcome...glad you enjoyed it! The panel clean up project is having to get broken up a bit as the shop didn't have time to do all the things on my want list in the 2 1/2 weeks I gave them. :) It's nice out...don't want the bird to stay in the shop right now!
This old jet mech thanks you for the up close tour of the ENGINE instumentation :-) I'm sure the pilot side panel will look spot on once it's cleaned up. Happy landings and all the best.
Glad you enjoyed it Tony! Can't wait to get it all finished...not sure how much they will get through on my list as I was only able to give them 2 1/2 weeks to work on a bunch of stuff. :)
Super cockpit tour, Kevin. Thanks. S-Tec said I can submit a P.O. for the 3100 for my Arrow and get in line...Hopefully the exchange with the current S-Tec 60 won't be too many AMUs!! Looking forward to the second part of your trip home as well as your new, post-annual, panel.
Glad you liked it Jim! I'd go ahead and submit it ( and tell your fellow Arrow owners) so they will push that up in line. The upgrade path for you is an amazing value in my opinion. My post-annual panel won't be complete. I gave them too much stuff to do in the small 2 1/2 weeks I allowed them to have it. It's flying season and all! It'll be about half way done and I'll have to schedule the rest soon. :)
Sweet auto pilot Kevin! Thanks for the tutorial, great explanations of all the switches. Cessna 310 is one of my favorite planes. Keep the videos coming!
Wow Kevin, very impressive set up. Thanks for the comprehensive and interesting cockpit tour. I know I have asked about different things in the past but you covered everything in this. Looking forward to seeing what they do with the panel layout and I hope you can get Jaime's mirror sorted for her 😊 Happy Easter to you both and all of the family.
Glad you liked it Mark! Happy Easter! Looking forward to getting it all finished. They couldn't do everything I asked in the 2 1/2 weeks I just gave them so I will have to schedule the finish up when I can have some down time. :)
310 Pilot Kevin, when finished it's going to be an amazing 310 to fly. Taking that workload of the pilot is so important to situational awearness. I have some old pilot friends who say that all this glass cockpit stuff is rubbish. My reply is that they are not flying in todays congested airspace. The workload now, in and out of busy airports like 'Sydney International' is much higher than it was in the late 70s when I learnt to fly. My first solo flight into Sydney, I was nervous but it was doable. Any help you can get to improve your safety is a plus in my books. Can't wait to see it all done. I wonder what the original designers of the 310 would think of their design and the changes being made today? Very happy I would think seeing your videos. Cheers mate!
Thanks for the great cockpit tour, still amazed at how clear the Insight is. I have only flown behind the EI or JPI products. Excited to see the work post annual and your upcoming adventures. Thanks for visiting TEXAS!
Thank you for the tour of your instrument panel, always enjoy your video... Any chance you can get a video of Jamie at work. That would be enjoyable to see. Thanks man, you ROCK!!!!
Kevin, Thanks so much for this. Now when ever I'm thinkin' " what did he say that light was for".... I can go look. I'm pretty sure I will be reviewing this a lot..( yeh, I'm not a pilot but love to ride along with a good one) I couldn't believe 29 mins flew by so quickly. Looking forward to part two!! Sorry Jaime had to work, but somebody has to help pay for these upgrades!! : ) Hope you all have a great Easter weekend with the family. Stay safe. Thanks again for the ride along.
Awesome Tom...glad you enjoyed it! I try to speak to pilots and non-pilots alike as I know if I wasn't one I would want to know what everything is doing. Mama had to work for airplane upgrades....shhh just don't tell her. :)
Great video Kevin! Amazing tour around the flight deck of such an iconic aircraft! I fully understand the need for modernisation and I know you are excited about your plans for upgrading the 310 with more than just the new autopilot, but I personally would be worried about making too many changes. The 310 is indeed an iconic aircraft. By making too many changes to the panel, I would suggest that it could be in danger of losing its iconic status! Also, if you ever sold it to someone who wears glasses, the loss of some of the basic T-panel instruments (what you call the six pack) might not be good. I guess also I was surprised at the way many of the switches were “jammed in” somewhat in almost inaccessible places! Cool if you know the aircraft like the back of your hand, but potentially dangerous if you are new to the 310! The autopilot is really cool and a great addition to the aircraft - so long as you never forget how to hand fly her! At the end of the day, it’s your aircraft and you know what you want in her and how you want it set up - so I only comment as an observation from an unskilled outside observer. But I follow your flights because not only do I find myself liking you and Jamie, but the 310 holds a special place for me from another time. I would hate to see 177BC changed beyond all recognition! But I am excited for you and Jamie. This will make your next hop down to the Caribbean a lot more relaxing!! Looking forward to part 2. Take care. Regards from across the Pond
Glad you enjoyed it Lee! I'm trying to balance a bit of old school and get the added safety benefits of the new school. Now days people are able to rip everything out of the dash except a TXi and a GPS. I like the idea of keeping the 6 pack (even though a bit is modernized...no more slowly tumbling gyros to worry about). Hopefully in the end you will think its a good balance of old and new as that is what I'm aiming for. :)
Throw in a flush mount kit for your G5’s when you cut the new panel if you have room behind. Still a strong resale market for the 530/430s. I’d keep them in personally since they still work but if you’re looking to trade them out I’d do it sooner rather than later before another market downturn. You’re getting really good at editing these videos. Harder than flying in my opinion.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll keep the flush mount in mind. While the 530/430 works fine, they've gotten about 20 years on them now and I'd rather go before the next downturn as you mention. After playing with the new boxes, they really have made some great improvements. I agree....the flying is the easy part...editing is the hard part. For me for sure. :)
One of your best Kevin. Been waiting for a closer look at your panel for a while now and it is great. It will loose some of it's vintage look though with all the upgrades. Could you include the run up in one of your upcoming videos? Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it Bristo! I've had several request for this but didn't have the ability until I got the 3100 to fly the plane so I could make it happen. :) I will try to include that in an upcoming video and it the mean time, I think if you find my older video that says something like full unedited flight, it has the run-up there.
Hey Kevin! Fantastic video, really enjoyed your narrative of all the tech in place and the future upfit plans. You sure are dialed in on your 310! Sweet to see you so thrilled with the new autopilot and the mods done to date. Thank you for filming the flight, editing the footage and explaining all your decisions for gear and function so completely. Very informative and well done production, as usual. Best to you, and your family this Easter, fly safe, we'll see ya on the next 1 Doug@ the "ranch"
Thank you Doug...glad you enjoyed it! The plane has been in annual inspection the last 2 weeks and I should get it back in another 1/2 week or so. Unfortunately I gave them a list that was too long to complete everything in the amount of time I could down it for so we will have to see how much they could get done and schedule the rest for sometime in the near future. It's exciting for sure. Happy Easter to you and your family!!
Glad you enjoyed it Brian! It truly is amazing to be flying with the 3100. I've made several long flights across the country and my fatigue is gone. :)
Thanks for the cockpit tour. You either read my mind or saw my last comment (kindly) requesting a tour. This kind of video is catnip for another pilot. Love the layout of your plane. What? No cup holders? Still? For twins, the 310s were always intuitive. Friendly. Still kind of smile at how the master switch is tucked away, discretely, as though the 310 is keeping a secret. Recommend you try to keep at least one piece of original instrumentation when all is said and done. For luck. (The backup attitude indicator in the six pack looks original.)
I'll be damned... I thought the Aux was the tip tanks and the mains were in the wing. Learn something new every day. Thanks for the tour! Oh and LMAO at trying to place the GoPro on the AP. That music was hilarious! Would you like a glass cockpit? I've played around with it in the simulator but I'm not nuts about it. Maybe I'm just old school cuz I'm, well, old. ;) - Lauren
Ha ha...you're not alone Lauren. A lot of people think that. Even people that fuel the plane sometimes. :) I felt like the music was fitting considering what I was going through at them moment. I really like my mix between small glass and old school 6 pack. It works out well for me. :)
Thanks Kevin, look forward to Part 2. Nice panel I love it (but then I love the C310, I just drool when I get close to them in our club hangar :) ) , I guess once we start upgrading one thing then it flows on to more upgrades. I enjoyed the panel tour too, cheers from Aussie.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul! There seems to be a good showing of 310's down in Australia...they can cover the ground quickly. You're right about the upgrades...once you start...
Nice cockpit tour... I notice many indicators are situated far away from the corresponding switches. I guess this is how the designers did it when this plane was built. Looking forward to the rest of the trip home!
Glad you enjoyed it Gilles! Just not enough room directly in front of the pilot. My plane's layout is pretty standard for planes with the location of everything. Will be fun to see it in the end. :)
I traded my 530 and 430 for the IFD 540 and 440 and am very happy with both of them. In July upgrading the ASPEN 1000/MFD and going with the ASPEN MAX system!
Wow! Thanks for the tour .... really cool and amazing. Question: what is the procedure if you loose radio function? No tower 😳😳Thanks for the flight👍🇺🇸
Thanks for the video ! I keep teasing you about hand flying after you get an AP. I know you'll stay proficient, you've been doing it so long. Loved the walk though of the panel.
You're welcome Terry! I was not so patiently waiting for the new autopilots to get certified for the 310. After they did, it was just deciding the best one and I couldn't be happier with the 3100! :)
Really enjoyed your video looking forward to part 2, you mentioned about the overhaul and was curious on how long it would take from start to finish before you was back in the air
Glad you enjoyed it Bob! I was hoping to have the panel overhaul done by this week but I gave the shop too many things to do on my wish list and they couldn't get to them all in the 2 1/2 weeks. I will reschedule the rest of the panel redesign for later in the summer maybe. :)
Nice tour, Kevin. Thanks for the video. Sorry I missed seeing you and Jaime at SunNFun. (My first as well). Looking forward to your Pt. 2 on the Texas return and SunNFun video(s).
@@310Pilot Thanks, Kevin. I wasn't sure where to look for you guys at SnF but had a great time nonetheless. Definitely planning to go to OSH in July again. Probably flying with a friend's RV-10. You and Jaime are always welcome to fly in to KDBQ for our monthly flying club BBQ as well! Talk soon and thanks for the vids!
Easily the BEST video yet! Loved the tour. I have a quick, stupid question though... while everyone should lean for taxi to keep the plugs from fouling, to you run up with the mixtures leaned? Is seems you always enrichen before the take off run, after you come back from the super secret run ups...
Thank you John!!! Glad you enjoyed it. I do run up with the mixtures leaned and they go forward for takeoff. I usually just cut it out for time reasons as I figure people don't want to see the pre-flight run-up each time. :) I did post it on the flight I called full unedited or something like that. I operate the red knobs pretty much exactly as Mike Busch suggests. He says to have it so leaned that it will barely do the run up but stumble if you apply full power.
@@310Pilot That's very interesting! As you might have guessed, I'm an airplane geek, and a only a PPL, ASEL. The Skyhawks and Archers I rent require full rich on run ups, but I never knew why. I'd like to get some A&P thoughts on that, because as long as you're not full power, I presume you're fouling the plugs when full rich on the ground. Keep these video's coming, and say hi to the Controllers that go out an make presentations - just when you went to TX for the 3100, they came to our CAP Squadron and made a presentation. Would be cool if you could come out to one of our meetings - Friday's at Fox Valley Composite Squadron at KDPA.
Thank you for the awesome presentation of all of your gauges and switches.. Thank you. I had hoped you got yourself some BBQ while in Dallas, but I saw you skipped the drive. Again thanks for the review.
I do enjoy your videos, this one particularly! I have a Cessna 310 C model and there are indeed a few variations. I also added an S tec 30 even though I thought my hand flying is good and it actually increases the pleasure of the flight. Keep them coming and maybe I will see you at Oshkosh! I bought an Avidyne 440 and have been pleased with its capabilities!!! Blue Canoe
Glad you're enjoying them Thomas and thanks for the heads up on your IFD. We went to Sun n Fun with it narrowed down to Garmin or them and made our decision there. Stand by for that. :) I do really enjoy hand flying as well but more than welcome having the 3100 for single pilot IMC and long cross countries. It has been a nice game changer for us in the 15 hours I've been flying with it. We will be at OSH in the north 40 hopefully. Not sure the days yet but will update as it gets a bit closer. Hopefully we can say hi there. :) Very few people know what a Blue Canoe is. :)
Great tour Kevin. Can definitely appreciate you trying so diligently to mount that camera and then finally saying... or at least I would’ve said, ahh screw it for now lol
Awesome. Already wondered what all your right hand side gauges are for. Great to have a high-resolution close up image of them. So interesting this stuff :)
Me too! Hopefully I can pick her up in a couple days. They weren't able to get everything done that I asked for in the 2 1/2 weeks I gave them. Have a trip planned for the end of the week and needed her back but she's coming along. :)
@@310Pilot Nice! You guys ever hop over to North Dakota? Not sure why many people would haha but I'm over in Western ND if you're ever passing through!
Kevin... nice upgrade with the 3100. Have you thought of going all the way in cleaning up the panel by installing a JPI-EDM960 Engine Monitor? Also, as others have chimed in... go with a Garmin 750.
Thank you Ronald...we are loving the 3100! After flying in my buddies Baron with at the EDM960, I'm thinking about it now. :) Maybe one of these days I will get to something to replace all those old gauges. Thanks for the recommend. We did decide on some new center stack avionics while we were at Sun n Fun... :)
Happy Easter to you n Jamie from Kmlb. Sorry I missed you guys at Sun&Fun. Saw other RUclipsrs (CPL, Baronpilot, ...) Maybe next year. Great panel info video. Thanks
Your panel is becoming a shadow of its former self,in a good way. Next up grade should be auto throttles! Designers of the 310 I am sure never imagined todays technology. I looked back in an old log book were I received my multi in a 310K N3808X on 4/3/1972 with 597 hours.
Glad you're liking how it's turning out Frank...we are very excited! Auto throttles would be fun but then what the helk would I do. :) That's awesome that you got your multi in a 310. I did mine in an underpowered Seneca I. :)
Very interesting Kevin. Thanks your The best at what u do for long time I watching driveing videos because I drove trucks. This is new very Interesting thanks.
Great informative video my friend.......when you complete all the upgrades will you do away with the iPad? I like how she is looking. Always enjoy the ride alongs.
Thank you Jim...glad you enjoyed it! I will keep the iPad but it will transfer data back and forth to the new GPS's so it will still be useful...although not required.

Great video Kevin. For the non-pilot, your cockpit tour is fascinating. Ready for part 2.
Glad you enjoyed it William! I try to speak to pilots and non-pilots when I can. I know I would find it all very interesting if I wasn't a pilot. :)
@@310Pilot Lots of dials sir. By the way, I am the 2000th like. :)

What a great video Kevin. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the cockpit and your explanation of the gauges, etc. Thanks so much for allowing us to ride along with you. I lost my medical a few years back and your videos sure bring back lots of fond memories. Thanks again and hope you and your wonderful family have a super Easter.
Glad you enjoyed it Rick and sorry to hear about your medical! Too bad you couldn't get in under basic med before that. Hopefully you can get back up one day if you're still interested. Happy Easter!
Kevin, your flight around the Instrument panel and controls is the most granular and informative tour I have ever seen! You have a great way of explaining how everything important works. Looking forward to the next installment. I love all of your air adventures. My best to you and yours. I live near DuPage County Airport and would love to meet and greet some day. Happy Easter! Mel

Kevin, thank you for the walk through of both the new and the older systems. From my high school years in Rome, GA, dad and I flying out of Russell Field, Skylane later Twin Aero Commander, my true fascination or love was for the 310's. They would capture my attention instantly. There is a beauty about these babies that just rings my bell today. I love that you are sticking with your beauty and are willing to update her . Though a TN Vol, I do want to wish you both a wonderful Easter, my Bulldog friend !
You're welcome William! Here comes some small world... My grandfather helped build the airport there at Rome. My whole family is from Armuchee (where the airport is). I fly there regularly for family reunions and to visit. The first flight I made when I got my license was flying my mom there to visit her mom. Happy Easter and Go Dawgs!
Talk about a game changer. You having time to show us around was great. The updates you intend to make to the dash, make a lot of sense.

Awesome...glad you enjoyed it! :)
Very informative. That comes from an older guy that has several years on flat top carriers as ground crew wishing I'd have learned to fly when I was younger. Enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.
Thanks for your service, my friend.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for your service!! :)
Great video Kevin. Thanks for the dash tour with the new equipment and showing us what the other gauges are for. It's always fun to play with new toys for your favorite past time. Fly safe
Glad you enjoyed it Dave! It is fun to play with new toys for sure. :)
Awesome job giving us a tour of your cockpit. Its hard to wrap my head around all you do, i love to watch you fly. That is an impressive system you had installed. Again hard to believe that its possible to have that hi-tech equipment in a early 1970`S model aircraft. Waiting for volume 2. GREAT VIDEO!! Love your channel!
Thank you....glad you're enjoying the channel!! The technology is amazing for these airplanes now...really add to life to this old bird. :)
Kevin you are the man with the plan for sure, good job as always .
Thank you...glad you enjoyed it!
That has to be one of the most thorough explanations of an specific instrument panel and all the switches, gauges, and added " new tech" features that I've seen yet. Thanks for the detailed explanation Kev...God Bless
Grace & Peace bro...
Awesome...glad you enjoyed it Kevin!! Thanks for the comment. :)
Hadn’t seen this episode and I truly appreciate the tour of your panels. Not a pilot, so learned a lot! Thank you so much!
I like your descriptions of everything, very informative for us non pilots
Nothing I like better than a well ordered, coordinated panel. You're well on your way.
Kevin, great walkthrough of your cockpit! I love seeing how everything looks and how some of your flows work with dealing with fuel management! This single upgrade is probably the best one by far! Can wait to see more videos. .....you know with the autopilot you are going to be forced to do more talking in cruise! We know it's your favorite thing to do! Thanks for the video! Enjoy learning the S-Tec!
Excellent explanation of the instrumentation Kevin---the new A/P is earning its keep going home! Enjoyed the video and enjoy the new toys from Cajun Country!!
Glad you enjoyed it Randall! Loving our new flying life with it. :)
I liked that video very much Kevin. I'm not a pilot, I wish I was, but I find your videos so interesting. AP looks really smooth, looking forward to part 2
Glad you enjoyed it Andrew! Part two will be out soon. :)
WOW! I was so involved with everything that is so interesting to me as a non pilot aviation geek that this video flew by, i swear it just started before I knew it was over. I can see you really, REALLY! love that autopilot. Can't wait to see the new panel after annual. Thanks again Kevin...
Awesome...It's really cool that the non-pilot viewers enjoy the ins and outs of everything that makes flying possible. I'd be the exact same and I try to talk to the pilot and non-pilots in the bunch. :) Thanks for the feedback Mike!
Thanks for the tour of the instrument panel. As for your struggle with where to put the GoPro, I can relate to that lol. You keep putting out enjoyable videos and thanks for doing so. I hope you guys have a great time at Sun in Fun!
Glad you enjoyed it David! I think I have the instrument panel mount figured out...just waiting on a part from amazon. Sun n Fun was a blast and I'm starting to work on those videos now.
What a great walk around. Thanks for taking the time to show us around the air craft. Fly Safe.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Best video I've watched explaining about the cockpit. Fascinating to see.
Thank you...glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice tour Kevin! When you get ready to replace the 530W/430W....I highly recommend the GTN 750. Oh my gosh!! It is SO much more advanced and easier to use than the 530/430. You won't believe how much information the 750 gives you. I love mine. Have fun in Florida!
Glad you enjoyed it Robert and thank you for the recommendation! We went to Sun n Fun to decide between the Garmin and Avidyne units and made our decision there. We will be unveiling it soon. :) As good as the 530/430's were, we are excited to improve on them. :)
Happy Easter Kevin, Jaime and kids! Kevin, great work on the video explanation of the panel and functions. I fly flight sim a lot and your explanations makes my enjoyment of my sims that much more informative and real. My wife and I tour on a big Harley so our modifications to our ride is a lot like your upgrades that make your flying so personal and enjoyable, too. We are not into the Harley 'bling' as it were. Been there, done that, so our mods are for better navigation, comfort and planning. So looking forward to the next video adventure!!
Happy Easter Don! Glad you enjoyed the video and stay safe on your hog! :)
The new AP has your 310 flying smooth as glass. At first glance the panel appears complex when in reality, very straight forward and user friendly. Nice layout !
Thanks John! Loving the last 15 hours with the new 3100...it really is amazing. Other than having two of everything, it really is pretty straight forward. Excited to get the panel all finished. :)
Hi Kevin, really enjoyed seeing the new layout and hearing your commentary on the instruments functions. The AP certainly makes flying a lot easier for you. Looking forward to part two !
Thanks for the tour.... Learned something new today, I always thought the “tip tanks” were the Aux. tanks and not the mains..... cool!!!
You're welcome Patrick! You're not alone...many people...even fuelers think that. :)
Great videos, Kevin. I've told some of my pilot friends about your channel. Someday, I'd like to get my license and start training. Your videos are helpful. I'm able to discuss some of the technicalities of flying with my pilot friends because of your channel. Thank you for sharing!
Really really enjoyed the full cockpit tour and the fact you had time to it, it seems you will be looking for more content to fill your flights in the future with the new autopilot taking the strain!
Glad you enjoyed it and you're right about having the time to finally do something like this. I've been asked several times before but with having to hand fly, it really wasn't possible. :)
Moar Buttons! Instrumentation and Controls Rock. Thanks for the tour! Happy Easter to you and your Beautiful Family! =]
Glad you enjoyed it William! Happy Easter. :)
Kevin, that was a good tour of the panel. That autopilot is just cool! Again, best of luck with it.
Thank you Bob...glad you enjoyed it! We are really loving it. :)
Excellent tutorial of the new panel, Kevin. I always look forward to your videos.
In the late 90's and early 2000' I managed an FBO at Lakeland and always looked forward to Sun-n-Fun week. As an FBO we were given passes to all the events, plus, I could simply look out of my office window throughout the day and watch the flight demonstrations.
Before long you're going to have the best equipped 310 out there ... looking forward to part 2 of your trip home from Texas.
In the meantime, keep your airspeed up.
Glad you liked it Patrick! That would have been really cool to have a full time front row seat to Sun n Fun. The old bird has come a long way since I've picked her up and we have a few things left to do to finish her up. It's been a lot of fun to take her into the modern era and she's much safer to fly now. :) Loving keeping that speed up!
Kevin... I am a huge fan of your panel set up and future plans. We just upgraded to the G500 TCXi w/ 10.6" display. Love it! Spoiled myself with the Delta D2 watch. I'm officially grounded from panel upgrades by the wife. Hope to cross paths with you all in Northern Illinois soon.
Thanks Jason...sounds like your plane got a sweet upgrade as well! I'm probably going to be officially grounded here soon as well. Going to get through the GPS modernization project to match the autopilot modernization and then may have to take a little break on things. All that would be left is a fresh paint job and maybe an EDM960 or something similar. :) Hope to see you around one day. Will be at OSH if you're going.
hey Kevin...EXCELLENT Tour of systems and instruments Sir! I grew up in a 1964 310i Model (N8006M) from new thru 1970 or so with my Dad (a 30K ATP Rated Commercial Pilot) and although it still sported the old panel it all seemingly is very familiar as you have presented it! "WELL Done" and Happy Easter to you and Jamie ';-)
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it sir! I really like the idea of modernizing her while still keeping many of the old features. As long as I can...I'm not keen on the idea of dumping money into the old engine instruments and may go digital to replace them one day and if I do that, I'm going to miss them. I do plan on keeping my digital version of the 6 pack though. :) Happy Easter!
Thanks for the tour! Can't wait for part 2 and for you showing off your cleaned up panels (hopefully not to far in the future). :-)
I love your channel and your professionalism. I enjoyed flying single engine Cessna's back in the early 1990's, but had to give this hobby up for several reasons. Now I enjoy it again from your back seat. :-)
Happy Easter to all of you!
You're welcome...glad you enjoyed it! The panel clean up project is having to get broken up a bit as the shop didn't have time to do all the things on my want list in the 2 1/2 weeks I gave them. :) It's nice out...don't want the bird to stay in the shop right now!
Thanks for the tour of the panel. Brings back fond memories. What, no auto throttle? Take it back. Look forward to part 2
Ha ha...can't get auto throttles...then I'd have nothing to do. :) Glad to bring back fond memories Gary.
This old jet mech thanks you for the up close tour of the ENGINE instumentation :-) I'm sure the pilot side panel will look spot on once it's cleaned up. Happy landings and all the best.
Glad you enjoyed it Tony! Can't wait to get it all finished...not sure how much they will get through on my list as I was only able to give them 2 1/2 weeks to work on a bunch of stuff. :)
You're just showing off now (and you should be)! Congratulations on all of your new equipment and the new equipment to come. Keep'em coming
Ha ha...I suppose I am a bit. Like a proud parent. :) Thanks Jay....more fun videos coming up.
Super cockpit tour, Kevin. Thanks. S-Tec said I can submit a P.O. for the 3100 for my Arrow and get in line...Hopefully the exchange with the current S-Tec 60 won't be too many AMUs!! Looking forward to the second part of your trip home as well as your new, post-annual, panel.
Glad you liked it Jim! I'd go ahead and submit it ( and tell your fellow Arrow owners) so they will push that up in line. The upgrade path for you is an amazing value in my opinion. My post-annual panel won't be complete. I gave them too much stuff to do in the small 2 1/2 weeks I allowed them to have it. It's flying season and all! It'll be about half way done and I'll have to schedule the rest soon. :)
Sweet auto pilot Kevin! Thanks for the tutorial, great explanations of all the switches. Cessna 310 is one of my favorite planes. Keep the videos coming!
Glad you enjoyed it Ian! Lot's more fun trips planned for the year. :)
Wow Kevin, very impressive set up. Thanks for the comprehensive and interesting cockpit tour. I know I have asked about different things in the past but you covered everything in this. Looking forward to seeing what they do with the panel layout and I hope you can get Jaime's mirror sorted for her 😊 Happy Easter to you both and all of the family.
Thank you Tim...I'm really excited about how she's turning out. :) Hope you had a nice Easter.
Fantastic job Keven! Can't wait to see the new panel.Happy Easter to you and the family. Cheers
Glad you liked it Mark! Happy Easter! Looking forward to getting it all finished. They couldn't do everything I asked in the 2 1/2 weeks I just gave them so I will have to schedule the finish up when I can have some down time. :)
310 Pilot Kevin, when finished it's going to be an amazing 310 to fly. Taking that workload of the pilot is so important to situational awearness. I have some old pilot friends who say that all this glass cockpit stuff is rubbish. My reply is that they are not flying in todays congested airspace. The workload now, in and out of busy airports like 'Sydney International' is much higher than it was in the late 70s when I learnt to fly. My first solo flight into Sydney, I was nervous but it was doable. Any help you can get to improve your safety is a plus in my books. Can't wait to see it all done. I wonder what the original designers of the 310 would think of their design and the changes being made today? Very happy I would think seeing your videos. Cheers mate!
Thanks for the great cockpit tour, still amazed at how clear the Insight is. I have only flown behind the EI or JPI products. Excited to see the work post annual and your upcoming adventures. Thanks for visiting TEXAS!
Thank you for the tour of your instrument panel, always enjoy your video... Any chance you can get a video of Jamie at work. That would be enjoyable to see. Thanks man, you ROCK!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Randy! I wish I could but unfortunately my employer would never allow it. :)
Much more relaxing and fun to fly with the new auto pilot!
It sure is Brent...I have time to do/show things now. :)
On a completely unrelated topic, your intro song says a lot about you and who you are. Love it!
Awesome...that was what I was thinking when I picked it out. :)
I liked the explanation you gave about the traffic alert, that was cool. Bring your GoPro to work someday and show us what your scope looks like!
Glad you enjoyed it Chris! I would love to do a video from our work side of life but my employer would never be okay with that unfortunately.
Thanks for the update, the AP sure holds heading and altitude well. Better keep Jamie as your co-pilot so she can keep you awake.
Ha ha...I agree Jerry! Love how well its working and I will always keep Jaime as my co-pilot. :)
Kevin, Thanks so much for this. Now when ever I'm thinkin' " what did he say that light was for".... I can go look. I'm pretty sure I will be reviewing this a lot..( yeh, I'm not a pilot but love to ride along with a good one) I couldn't believe 29 mins flew by so quickly. Looking forward to part two!! Sorry Jaime had to work, but somebody has to help pay for these upgrades!! : ) Hope you all have a great Easter weekend with the family. Stay safe. Thanks again for the ride along.
Awesome Tom...glad you enjoyed it! I try to speak to pilots and non-pilots alike as I know if I wasn't one I would want to know what everything is doing. Mama had to work for airplane upgrades....shhh just don't tell her. :)
Great video Kevin! Amazing tour around the flight deck of such an iconic aircraft! I fully understand the need for modernisation and I know you are excited about your plans for upgrading the 310 with more than just the new autopilot, but I personally would be worried about making too many changes. The 310 is indeed an iconic aircraft. By making too many changes to the panel, I would suggest that it could be in danger of losing its iconic status! Also, if you ever sold it to someone who wears glasses, the loss of some of the basic T-panel instruments (what you call the six pack) might not be good. I guess also I was surprised at the way many of the switches were “jammed in” somewhat in almost inaccessible places! Cool if you know the aircraft like the back of your hand, but potentially dangerous if you are new to the 310! The autopilot is really cool and a great addition to the aircraft - so long as you never forget how to hand fly her! At the end of the day, it’s your aircraft and you know what you want in her and how you want it set up - so I only comment as an observation from an unskilled outside observer. But I follow your flights because not only do I find myself liking you and Jamie, but the 310 holds a special place for me from another time. I would hate to see 177BC changed beyond all recognition! But I am excited for you and Jamie. This will make your next hop down to the Caribbean a lot more relaxing!! Looking forward to part 2. Take care. Regards from across the Pond
Glad you enjoyed it Lee! I'm trying to balance a bit of old school and get the added safety benefits of the new school. Now days people are able to rip everything out of the dash except a TXi and a GPS. I like the idea of keeping the 6 pack (even though a bit is modernized...no more slowly tumbling gyros to worry about). Hopefully in the end you will think its a good balance of old and new as that is what I'm aiming for. :)
Throw in a flush mount kit for your G5’s when you cut the new panel if you have room behind. Still a strong resale market for the 530/430s. I’d keep them in personally since they still work but if you’re looking to trade them out I’d do it sooner rather than later before another market downturn. You’re getting really good at editing these videos. Harder than flying in my opinion.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll keep the flush mount in mind. While the 530/430 works fine, they've gotten about 20 years on them now and I'd rather go before the next downturn as you mention. After playing with the new boxes, they really have made some great improvements. I agree....the flying is the easy part...editing is the hard part. For me for sure. :)
Love all your videos. I love the 310.
One of your best Kevin. Been waiting for a closer look at your panel for a while now and it is great. It will loose some of it's vintage look though with all the upgrades. Could you include the run up in one of your upcoming videos? Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it Bristo! I've had several request for this but didn't have the ability until I got the 3100 to fly the plane so I could make it happen. :) I will try to include that in an upcoming video and it the mean time, I think if you find my older video that says something like full unedited flight, it has the run-up there.
Hey Kevin!
Fantastic video, really enjoyed your narrative of all the tech in place and the future upfit plans. You sure are dialed in on your 310!
Sweet to see you so thrilled with the new autopilot and the mods done to date. Thank you for filming the flight, editing the footage and explaining all your decisions for gear and function so completely.
Very informative and well done production, as usual. Best to you, and your family this Easter, fly safe, we'll see ya on the next 1
Doug@ the "ranch"
Thank you Doug...glad you enjoyed it! The plane has been in annual inspection the last 2 weeks and I should get it back in another 1/2 week or so. Unfortunately I gave them a list that was too long to complete everything in the amount of time I could down it for so we will have to see how much they could get done and schedule the rest for sometime in the near future. It's exciting for sure. Happy Easter to you and your family!!
Awesome Video again, awesome tour of the cockpit.
Thank you...glad you enjoyed it!
very nice panel tour. having a nice ap must feel like a dream come true and really cut the fatigue!
Glad you enjoyed it Brian! It truly is amazing to be flying with the 3100. I've made several long flights across the country and my fatigue is gone. :)
Awesome tour. Great job. Super cool old Cessna.
Keep the great videos coming.
Thanks John! Operation rehab this old Cessna is a long term project. :)
Been off the RUclipss for a while and catching up on some of your videos. New cams and AP/Panel looking good!
Really enjoyed this cockpit tour. Very interesting. Thanks.
Awesome...glad you liked it Calvin!
Thanks for the cockpit tour. You either read my mind or saw my last comment (kindly) requesting a tour. This kind of video is catnip for another pilot. Love the layout of your plane. What? No cup holders? Still? For twins, the 310s were always intuitive. Friendly. Still kind of smile at how the master switch is tucked away, discretely, as though the 310 is keeping a secret. Recommend you try to keep at least one piece of original instrumentation when all is said and done. For luck. (The backup attitude indicator in the six pack looks original.)
I'll be damned... I thought the Aux was the tip tanks and the mains were in the wing. Learn something new every day. Thanks for the tour! Oh and LMAO at trying to place the GoPro on the AP. That music was hilarious! Would you like a glass cockpit? I've played around with it in the simulator but I'm not nuts about it. Maybe I'm just old school cuz I'm, well, old. ;) - Lauren
Ha ha...you're not alone Lauren. A lot of people think that. Even people that fuel the plane sometimes. :) I felt like the music was fitting considering what I was going through at them moment. I really like my mix between small glass and old school 6 pack. It works out well for me. :)
Looks great that was a sweet upgrade that will make your flying more enjoyable, stay safe.
For sure...much more enjoyable and safer. Love that thing!
Kevin the new autopilot is going to take so much workload off of you on long trips. Thanks for the all the videos and safe travels 😉
Thanks Kevin, look forward to Part 2. Nice panel I love it (but then I love the C310, I just drool when I get close to them in our club hangar :) ) , I guess once we start upgrading one thing then it flows on to more upgrades. I enjoyed the panel tour too, cheers from Aussie.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul! There seems to be a good showing of 310's down in Australia...they can cover the ground quickly. You're right about the upgrades...once you start...
Excellent video. I can tell that you really like the AP. You look mighty comfortable flying your beautiful 310. Take care.
Awesome...thank you Jesse! I'm in love with that autopilot. Gives me so much more time to do things. :)
Super cockpit-tour, interesting talk and insights given.
Congrats with the new AP :-) ..Looking forward to next episode!
Thank you...glad you enjoyed it! :)
Nice cockpit tour... I notice many indicators are situated far away from the corresponding switches. I guess this is how the designers did it when this plane was built. Looking forward to the rest of the trip home!
Glad you enjoyed it Gilles! Just not enough room directly in front of the pilot. My plane's layout is pretty standard for planes with the location of everything. Will be fun to see it in the end. :)
I traded my 530 and 430 for the IFD 540 and 440 and am very happy with both of them. In July upgrading the ASPEN 1000/MFD and going with the ASPEN MAX system!
Thanks you for the heads up on the IFD's Ed. It was between that and the new Garmin's. We made our decision at Sun n Fun... :)
If you replace your GPS - I would recommend Avidyne. They are very intuitive and they just work. Just like an iOS device or your new 3100
Thank you for the recommendation Anthony! We went to Sun n Fun to decide between them and Garmin and will unveil it very soon. :)
Wow! Thanks for the tour .... really cool and amazing. Question: what is the procedure if you loose radio function? No tower 😳😳Thanks for the flight👍🇺🇸
I loved this tour! I think this is one of my favorite videos of yours. Have a happy Easter!
Awesome...thank you!! Happy Easter! :)
Thanks for the video ! I keep teasing you about hand flying after you get an AP. I know you'll stay proficient, you've been doing it so long. Loved the walk though of the panel.
You're welcome Terry! I was not so patiently waiting for the new autopilots to get certified for the 310. After they did, it was just deciding the best one and I couldn't be happier with the 3100! :)
Kevin, thank you for the cockpit tour. Another great video.
Looking forward to linking up one of these days. :)
Really enjoyed your video looking forward to part 2, you mentioned about the overhaul and was curious on how long it would take from start to finish before you was back in the air
Glad you enjoyed it Bob! I was hoping to have the panel overhaul done by this week but I gave the shop too many things to do on my wish list and they couldn't get to them all in the 2 1/2 weeks. I will reschedule the rest of the panel redesign for later in the summer maybe. :)
Wow Kevin you are really getting that plane fixed up nice,I hope you and Jamie had a great Easter, see ya on the next video -Jerry
Another great video, loved your panel walkaround :) I'm sure it will look amazing when its all finished, bring on part 2 :)
Glad you liked it Rab! Just finished editing the next part and now to work on Sun n Fun videos. :)
Loved this one Kevin! Glad you finally got that 3100 to free you up to chat :-)
Nice tour, cool video. Standing by for part 2. Thanks !!! ;0 )
Glad you liked it! Working on part 2 now. :)
Cant wait to see it!
Thanks for the tour, really enjoyed it and waiting for part 2. Happy Easter.
Glad you enjoyed it! Just finished up editing part 2. :) Happy Easter!
Kevin, Nice job. Plane is looking great. You and your family have a great weekend and Happy Easter.
Thank you Mark! Happy Easter to you and your family as well. :)
Nice tour, Kevin. Thanks for the video. Sorry I missed seeing you and Jaime at SunNFun. (My first as well). Looking forward to your Pt. 2 on the Texas return and SunNFun video(s).
Thank you Bob...glad you liked it! It was fun meeting a bunch of viewers at Sun n Fun...maybe we'll see you at OSH if you're going. :)
@@310Pilot Thanks, Kevin. I wasn't sure where to look for you guys at SnF but had a great time nonetheless. Definitely planning to go to OSH in July again. Probably flying with a friend's RV-10. You and Jaime are always welcome to fly in to KDBQ for our monthly flying club BBQ as well! Talk soon and thanks for the vids!
Thanks for the tour, which I found interesting as a 310 fan. And congratulations again on the nice autopilot. Have fun!
Thank you Mike...glad you enjoyed the tour! :)
Easily the BEST video yet! Loved the tour. I have a quick, stupid question though... while everyone should lean for taxi to keep the plugs from fouling, to you run up with the mixtures leaned? Is seems you always enrichen before the take off run, after you come back from the super secret run ups...
Thank you John!!! Glad you enjoyed it. I do run up with the mixtures leaned and they go forward for takeoff. I usually just cut it out for time reasons as I figure people don't want to see the pre-flight run-up each time. :) I did post it on the flight I called full unedited or something like that. I operate the red knobs pretty much exactly as Mike Busch suggests. He says to have it so leaned that it will barely do the run up but stumble if you apply full power.
@@310Pilot That's very interesting! As you might have guessed, I'm an airplane geek, and a only a PPL, ASEL. The Skyhawks and Archers I rent require full rich on run ups, but I never knew why. I'd like to get some A&P thoughts on that, because as long as you're not full power, I presume you're fouling the plugs when full rich on the ground. Keep these video's coming, and say hi to the Controllers that go out an make presentations - just when you went to TX for the 3100, they came to our CAP Squadron and made a presentation. Would be cool if you could come out to one of our meetings - Friday's at Fox Valley Composite Squadron at KDPA.
Thank you for the awesome presentation of all of your gauges and switches.. Thank you. I had hoped you got yourself some BBQ while in Dallas, but I saw you skipped the drive. Again thanks for the review.
Ha ha...no BBQ on this trip but we did get some when we dropped her off. Glad you enjoyed it Jesper! :)
Great cockpit tour Kevin. Thanks for my weekly ride bud!!
You're welcome Alan...glad you enjoyed it!
I do enjoy your videos, this one particularly! I have a Cessna 310 C model and there are indeed a few variations. I also added an S tec 30 even though I thought my hand flying is good and it actually increases the pleasure of the flight. Keep them coming and maybe I will see you at Oshkosh! I bought an Avidyne 440 and have been pleased with its capabilities!!! Blue Canoe
Glad you're enjoying them Thomas and thanks for the heads up on your IFD. We went to Sun n Fun with it narrowed down to Garmin or them and made our decision there. Stand by for that. :) I do really enjoy hand flying as well but more than welcome having the 3100 for single pilot IMC and long cross countries. It has been a nice game changer for us in the 15 hours I've been flying with it. We will be at OSH in the north 40 hopefully. Not sure the days yet but will update as it gets a bit closer. Hopefully we can say hi there. :) Very few people know what a Blue Canoe is. :)
Great tour Kevin. Can definitely appreciate you trying so diligently to mount that camera and then finally saying... or at least I would’ve said, ahh screw it for now lol
Ha ha...that's how that happened. I just ordered what I need...I hope. Glad you enjoyed it Mike!
Fantastic video... Love your channel and oh yeah.... Go Dawgs!!!!!
Awesome. Already wondered what all your right hand side gauges are for. Great to have a high-resolution close up image of them. So interesting this stuff :)
Awesome! Can't wait to see the new additions to the panel!
Me too! Hopefully I can pick her up in a couple days. They weren't able to get everything done that I asked for in the 2 1/2 weeks I gave them. Have a trip planned for the end of the week and needed her back but she's coming along. :)
@@310Pilot Nice! You guys ever hop over to North Dakota? Not sure why many people would haha but I'm over in Western ND if you're ever passing through!
Thanks for sharing the updated instrument panel Kevin. Exciting stuff with more to come! :-) Don
You're welcome Don...glad you enjoyed the tour! Lots more to come. :)
Kevin... nice upgrade with the 3100. Have you thought of going all the way in cleaning up the panel by installing a JPI-EDM960 Engine Monitor? Also, as others have chimed in... go with a Garmin 750.
Thank you Ronald...we are loving the 3100! After flying in my buddies Baron with at the EDM960, I'm thinking about it now. :) Maybe one of these days I will get to something to replace all those old gauges. Thanks for the recommend. We did decide on some new center stack avionics while we were at Sun n Fun... :)
@@310Pilot Kevin, one last comment.... Take a look at the sweet, all digital panel, on the Malibu of 'Malibu Flyer'. He has the EDM930.
Happy Easter to you n Jamie from Kmlb. Sorry I missed you guys at Sun&Fun. Saw other RUclipsrs (CPL, Baronpilot, ...)
Maybe next year. Great panel info video.
Thanks
Your panel is becoming a shadow of its former self,in a good way. Next up grade should be auto throttles! Designers of the 310 I am sure never imagined todays technology. I looked back in an old log book were I received my multi in a 310K N3808X on 4/3/1972 with 597 hours.
Glad you're liking how it's turning out Frank...we are very excited! Auto throttles would be fun but then what the helk would I do. :) That's awesome that you got your multi in a 310. I did mine in an underpowered Seneca I. :)
Nice tour! Looking forward to part 2!
Glad you enjoyed it Herb!
Very interesting Kevin. Thanks your
The best at what u do for long time
I watching driveing videos because
I drove trucks. This is new very
Interesting thanks.
Kevin, a sincere Thank You for sharing. Happy Easter to you and yours
You're very welcome Bill! Happy Easter to you and your family as well. :)
Thanks for another great video,looking forward to part 2.
You're welcome Don! Working on it now. :)
Great informative video my friend.......when you complete all the upgrades will you do away with the iPad? I like how she is looking. Always enjoy the ride alongs.
Thank you Jim...glad you enjoyed it! I will keep the iPad but it will transfer data back and forth to the new GPS's so it will still be useful...although not required.
