Re: Flying with Dogs
Both of my Wirehaired Pointing Griffons have made the journey from KEIK to KBST with us. They are fantastic passengers. We will fly about 3 hour legs with them up to about 12K. I do put a blanket on the wing and then boost them up to get in. They just lay on the back seat and either sleep or look ou...

Re: Advice re purchasing a 2007 DA40XL?
Hi... I own a 2007XL since essentially new, almost 1800TT. Its a truly great airplane. My wife and I have flown it from coast to coast. The GFC700 is worth every penny over a KAP140 model. I have installed the Garmin 345R upgrade and it integrated well with the Avidyne TAS. Last year I upgraded the ...

Re: Lean on final with high DA
KEIK is at 5100'. In the summer I've seen DAs of well over 8000'. I tend to leave it lean on final. One less thing to think about coming down the pipe. Messing around in the pattern IMHO is never a good thing when you need to be focused. And if I have to go around (which has happened at this DA) I c...

Re: RealSimGear G1000
Nice setup! I fly a DA 40 rental at KBJC and I'm planning to buy a computer to run x-plane 11 this week, along with a stick, rudder pedals and headset (although not the RSG G1000, at least not yet). Could you tell me where you bought your hardware and what it cost? Thanks! Steve... The RSG1000 is h...

RealSimGear G1000
I splurged a few months ago and bought the RealSimGear G1000 screens and bezels. The system works extremely well and is a near perfect rendition of the real G1000. It is well built and the knobs and buttons have a very solid feel. Since I don't get any real actual here in Colorado I thought it would...

Re: G1000 Legacy & NXi upgrade program
Just notified that Diamond has my WAAS boxes for the upgrade. The only downside is I have to go down to Fort Worth to get it done. Not sure why the Diamond See ice center here in Denver at KAPA can’t do the work.

Waxes
Anyone ever try this sailplane wax? I noted that it contains no silicone but provides UV protection for the gelcoat

Re: Spinner Chrome Repair
Had mine painted silver a few years ago. I think it looks much better than the chrome!

Re: GTX345 Bluetooth Disconnecting?
No problem with connection to FF over the last 2 years. But I am not yet successful in getting AHRS. Didn’t know until very recently one could do that. Only getting traffic and don’t use the weather. Any ideas?
