Thanks! 😀

@@ElevatorBiker Thank you 😊

@@robertspitaleri9790 My friend, I make life the way I see fit. Anything I do will never be of 100% perfection! I learned to live with that. If you need a pause, then someone else will say I pause too much. But if you need a pause, then there is an easy solution like a pause button which could solve your issues. 😀

@@johnelliott4521 It’s a tough decision for me. Almost 1600lbs for the Six and over 500lbs less for the Turbo Saratoga. With full fuel, I can barely get away with 3 passengers on the Toga. But I love how I can take it up to 15k or higher and get the better performance of the turbo. But with 5-6 passengers I won’t get very far so I’d take the Six.

@@BrassKnuckles73 when people tell me their stories it is just like hearing it for the first time. It is joyful to hear you say that. Congratulations on your journey and I hope it brings you as many thrilling experiences as it has for us. 😀

@@GrahamCompton-i4w My pleasure 😊

I totally understand. That's part of the reason why I also initially decided for the Cherokee Six. I decision that turned out to be a positive for me. After, the instrument, over 1k hours, and some retract time, I went with the Turbo Saratoga Retract for just a little more on the insurance. But the Six served us very well 😀

Javier and I were just talking about how much we miss that airplane. I loved flying it! I also let go the Six 😢. I am moving on to newer projects and was not going to be able to fly them much. Congratulations 😊

@@kfinona Hello, they are different units with separate databases.

Appreciate the response. On another note, which iPad mount did you go with?

@@kfinona I have a RAM Cradle.

@@Electrocycle300 I like taking the Turbo Saratoga between 11,000 - 15,000 feet. At those altitudes it shows a significant difference between the normally aspirated Six. Now if you were lucky to get your hands on a good Cherokee Six with the old RayJay turbo normalizer then you’d get very close to your dream performance and keeping the payload. Too bad they stopped making them or I would have gotten my hands on one of them. 😀

Hi Jason! Thanks my friend and I am saddened to hear about your dad. The Cessna 182 is a great airplane and it was one that I considered buying. I hope you continue your father's legacy or the airplane ends up in good hands my friend. Thank you for reaching out to me 🙂

Anytime my friend! Perhaps one of these days when I’m in Kentucky I could do a flight down your way 😃

Now I really like that name 😃 thanks and same to you 😃

My thoughts exactly! This stuff can be very contagious 😄

Hello Derek! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you my friend. I don’t get to spend as much time in the restaurant like I used to but I most certainly still stop in to get my #1 every chance I get 😃

Thank you very much Jimmy 😊

My copilot Javier stayed home on this trip. But I have to say, I love having Javier around. Hard to believe he’s growing so fast. He’s now driving me around 😮

I canceled the webpage subscription. Got so busy that I stopped using it and I thought the website and email subscription were pretty darn expensive for me to renew for another year.

@@FlyingDirty not Jabanero email?

@@PAberrios87 the jabanero email is still good.

Thanks buddy 😊

I would love to! Flying to PR is on my bucket list.

Thanks 😊 I’m not sure I’d enjoy that type of flying although some of those AG planes are slick 😊. But that close to the ground I’d prefer to do the site seeing in a car 😀

Thank you 😊 and here I was thinking picking up a Mexican controller was odd 😀. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the channel my friend. God Bless you!

My pleasure Armando! Being a private pilot added a life full of adventures and incredible experiences. 😀

Hi John, I use a Ram EZ Roll cradle mount and a Ram base ball.

@@FlyingDirty Thanks for the reply. I like your videos. When watching I didn’t understand your comment about going to a different screen to enter a nav channel. Then realized that it is different on the 540.

Absolutely! That restaurant has been a blessing to us. Thanks 😊

I appreciate you my friend. Thanks for joining me 😀

My pleasure. It has been a pretty good autopilot but not the best option for an IFR pilot. When I first bought mine the GFC 500 was not approved for the PA32 yet or I would have probably gone that route (Just something to consider). Not to mention, since TruTrak became Bendix my understanding is that the customer service has become unreliable. Overall, not a bad autopilot for the price. 😀

@@FlyingDirty Thanks for this too! My setup is dual Skyview HDX, D10A, IFD440, GMA345, iCom A220, and a remote transponder, etc. Dynon AP would've fit nicely, but AP is not a 'need' item for me at the moment. GFC is great, but for me to incorporate that (plus either a G5 or GI275) into my setup is $$$!

@@Devyn6Seven Yes, great point! The additional cost of the G5/GI275 does add up. Since you already have the HDX the TruTrak will communicate very well with it. I was also waiting for Dynon to approve the PA32s and they opted for the PA34 for some odd reason. I have a few buddies with the HDX autopilot and it is flawless! I think you'll be happy with the autopilot.

@@FlyingDirty Sounds like Dynon. I found out very recently they are only approving the AP for the M20J and M20K, which leaves me shit out of luck and looking for an alternative. This looks like it does enough to keep me happy. I really only want an AP so I can take a break while flying! My legs are sometimes 4h long.

@@Devyn6Seven I will tell you that it does fly the GPSS perfectly for those long trips. 😀

Thanks for such inspiring words my friend and I am glad to be a positive contribution. 😀

Yes, it is a separate adapter but it is very easy to install and program. Don't remember what I paid for it but it should not be much my good friend 😀

I was with my avionics guy today, Jonathon Edmonds of Edmonds Aviation, Jonesboro Arkansas. He said I can buy the wifi adapter at Aircraft Spruce, it’s around $40, and showed me how to program it on a Dynon simulator. Thank you for sharing this info, I would have never known about it. Any chance you are going to AirVenture? I would like to say hello and shake hands with you.

@@anthonymadonia6699 There you go! I figured it could not be that much. I need to go but I am in the middle of a few new ventures that are keeping me a bit tied up. Maybe the next one?

Hi Frank, thanks buddy! 😀

Thanks my good friend! 😀

I love the way you expressed it. It "is serious fun" and "serious business". Since 1998, My flying is of the boring type. I love it but I don't take the responsibility lightly. Hopefully, the channel will stick around and perhaps I could also let the crowd in on my little "Dirty Secrets" 😀

My experience exactly. I had actually dealt with Adam.

I know Adam as well

You and 3026W played a role in my club’s decision to install an HDX, IFD and Aerocruz100 into our Archer. Had I seen it for sale earlier, I might have looked hard at making an offer. Best of luck in the future!

@@MerlinspopTBH I really appreciate that my friend. It got snatched a day after it listed. I love the HDX and IFD. Thanks and please do not hesitate to keep in touch from time to time. 😀

Thanks buddy! 😇

God is so good all the time and maybe one day we will see each other

Thanks a lot buddy 😀

@@FlyingDirty are you still looking for a Malibu?

@@almarasco1792 I was initially a few years ago. But the maintenance and insurance costs were more than I was willing to pay so I had opted for the Turbo Saratoga.

@@FlyingDirty got it

Hello there my good friend! It’s been a while! Getting involved with multiple projects that are keeping me tied up. There’s never a dull moment in the book of life of mine 😀

Big Sandy is a pretty nice relaxing airport. I like that you can get in and out fast without having long waiting traffic like in Centennial 😀. Having the experience and being used to the Rockies I pretty much know what to anticipate when flying over the hills. Here you don't really want to try flying over the 14,000 foot peaks on a single engine. If you get a strong downdraft it can bring the airplane down fast and you could stall trying to get out of it. It can certainly be a bit scary if you are not used to it. Thanks buddy and glad you made it over to Big Sandy my friend 😀

Hello Nick! Lots of interesting things to come but not sure how to tie in flying along with it at the moment. But with what is coming there is definitely a possibility later on. 😀 I'll try to see what to do about the videos. I really enjoy making content. Thanks buddy!

My main airplane when I started was the Warrior 😀Thanks my brother!

Thanks a bunch, good to be back! 😀

Taking it easy at the moment until I get these few projects behind me. Then we'll see what happens next! 😀

Thanks a lot! It was supposed to be very short, but went right over my house and I had a strong headwind that made it about 20 minutes longer to enjoy the blue skies. 😀
