Absolutely the best way to show the qualities of a product. Installed, used to its full advantage with a very smooth delivery. But the best part was the excellent fun flying by a enthusiastic . If you have time have a part 2. Coming into an airport environment, showing circuits, traffic avoidence. Great video.
Scrappy is abnormal. OTT. Don't get me wrong, it's brilliant, Mike's a genius mechanical engineer. This is more realistic for general aviation folks out there.
I learned to fly in a 195, and I was 5’5 or thereabouts. I learned to S turn down the taxiway, because no way could I see over that radial. I love the modern instrumentation. The ease of use compared to folding a sectional on your knee? Just the computational power at your fingertips is incredible, as long as you don’t replace it for good judgement.
Love the Vid... I am a Mechanical Engineer, and that technical environment tempers a lot of things I do and use "as a safety margin" for things I do. And flying is one of them. Garmins' Glass from your install to the TBM setup is a safe environment. Your comments about your transition from simple steam gages to the Garmin setup you have does describe using a simple safety setup when you need them. You still fly as you did and should with your eyes outside the cockpit. But you have the safe level flight on AP when needed. Go for it!!
From what I've seen Avionics have moved forward just about like computers...... one week to the next something improves and we move forward, at warp speed too ! ....... Unlike 1978 when I first flew and used VOR's to find my way around........... this stuff is FANTASTIC ! 10 years ago I flew a 172 with no real electronics, two years ago I got a deep emersion in the Garmin Glass panel on the same plane.... the boys at Garmin really have it together and they are just down the block from the house. Thank You Trent and the folks at Garmin too.

Trent, I thought the 'cumulo-granite' looked familiar, and then I knew when you said you were heading back to Stead. I live on the north end of Sparks. Your landing on the hillside reminded me of the early-mid 70's when I flew for Sierra West out of Oxnard, CA. We had exclusive landing rights on Santa Cruz Island - then privately owned. The Ranch Strip on the island separated the men from the boys! It was 2000 feet long but only the last thousand feet was usable. One way strip; it was a ten percent uphill grade, and four feet wider than the mains on a Beech Super G-18. Done right, you had to add power to get to the end of the strip. Oh, those were the days......... Carl
Great video of the Garmin G3x. My daily job is an Avionics shop supervisor in San Diego, and I am privileged to flying a Aeroprakt A32 with a G3x. My Avid Model C when I bought it had no avionics, and this year she’s getting an upgrade to GRT Mini X AP because it will fit or it would have been a G3x portrait. Whether it’s a G3x, GRT, or Dynon, the new ADHR’s displays with GPS navigator really reduce pilot saturation. This is not to promote avionics businesses, but an old school pilot stepping into the 21 Century!
It's Dry Valley (Rancho Haven/ Sierra Ranchos) to Red Rock southbound; the canyon is actually Ross Creek canyon. I noticed that the Garmin topo maps had Bobcat Hill labeled. That is my neighbor three houses to the west of me. Bobcat Hill was named by Dennis Sweeney and his wife, who keep pet bobcats in their house and they also have a military custom engine manufacturing plant on their property... at the head of Bobcat Hill Road (where else). BTW, when I am inbound on a descent from the north to RTS, I hit around 185 kt and 7,500 ft. just about at that point. Thanks for turning your ADS-B transponder on!
Very well done. I always love your videos. Because Bushplaneflying is a bit difficult in Germany, I am driving Cessna, Piper and Cirrus for more than 18 years now and purchased a 177 RG last year. Keep on the good work and take care. Always happy landings!
Oh wow, this changed my opinion, a complete 180. The new Flight Simulator is out and I was wondering why the hell do the light bush cubs have modern screens instead of rudimentary old gauges. Well this completely changed my opinion on them. Thank you, very informative. Cheers from France :)
Your set up is very rational and useful requiring little attention to operate. I like the outputs and the ease of operation especially as you do not have to take your eyes completely off the outside environment to see your system. I have flown in aircraft that a simple radio freq change makes you put your head down and lose the horizon totally.
I really like how Garmin is jumping in to market in just about every field. From avionics to marine charts. I also love how they partner up with other manufacturers to be compatible.
Thanks for this video, good information. Interesting comment about how going to fine pitch can blank the horizontal tail. My Europa mono is all electric analog flight inst, with Garmin GNC 420W. Dad flew in the western Canadian artic from 1955 until 1996, Cessna 180, Helio Courier, Piper Aztec and others floats , ski's, wheels and in the 90's when GPS came along he said " GPS takes the challenge out of bush flying " He couldn't believe how much easier it became.
I guess that there are two ways of looking at this subject:- One is that anything that helps a Pilot is worth having. The other is that over reliance on these all singing all dancing panels can lead you into big trouble. Imagine getting struck by lightning and having your gizmos fried. Not good not good at all .The age old skills of using your chart, compass and stopwatch will always be something worth keeping up to date. Stay safe up there. Regards, Jim in NI UK
The 737 Max issues brought out an interesting trend in airline piloting: too many recently trained indigenous Middle Eastern pilots don't really have much experience in how to fly an airplane. A bunch were suspected of cheating on the exams. Like in the two 737 accidents, they were paging through the aircraft manuals when they should have simply turned the trim system off. With the aircraft's nose facing the ground, it's a bad time to get out the books. Flying an airplane is fundamentally different from playing a video game or selecting a tune on Spotify.
@@jimshaw899 Yep and they even fiddle their English speaking tests. I have heard some Middle Eastern and Asian pilots whose English was atrocious. They of course hogged the frequency whilst the controller tried to ascertain the situation. To add insult to injury I a native born English speaker had to get an Examiner to state that my English was ok. Grrrrrrrrrr! Regards, Jim in NI UK
You are right...and we can put our money into gas and fly a lot...to fly VFR you don´need this type of expensive things....expensive and complicated to maintain...sensitive to humidity ....
Lots of information Trent. Since I don't know how to fly. Like a lot of people, I use my Garmin on the ground plus Gaia GPS. I've always wanted to become a pilot. Never got the chance because of the type of work I did. Thanks for the video Trent! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am in a planning/build mode right now and I feel that both Mike's and YOUR video has helped me do a bit more planning in the use of advanced avionics. Yeh, more money but I can see from your description on how you utilize the information to make your flights more enjoyable. Trent, you're a real dude with real answers. thanks for the content. Rubber down and wings up! lator gator.
Well.. if the cost is displacing money better spent elsewhere or the weight is more of a liability than an asset.. or the pretty glass too much of a distraction for head up VFR flying.. then it is overkill. Everything... absolutely everything in aviation is compromise.
I don't know what if anything Garmin paid you for this review but whatever it was, it wasn't enough. Very nice demo of the capabilities of what appears to be a superb product. This sort of "reality" demo is so much better than a static demo in the booth. thanks.
I am preparing to put Garmin G3X in my plane now along with Garmin autopilot and full engine analyzer. Good to see your setup and help me stay motivated to get my upgrades done.
I’m literally about two weeks away from taking delivery of an American Legend “Super Legend” Cub with a G3X! After 14 years of flying with a panel from the 60s, I can’t tell you how stoked I am to finally be able to fly an airplane with a modern system in the panel!!!
Absolutely BRILLIANT film Trent!! The avionics stuff really informative and the whole flying/surfing/skiing/DirtBiking/flying stuff ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I've flown a Eurofox as a glider tow plane and your film has really turned me onto what the Kit/EuroFox SHOULD be used for!!!! AMAZING!! Thanks man!
Thanks for the review of the avionics.. Great to see how different it is and more functional than the conventional gauges.. and gives a world less clutter in the cockpit with other items filling the same role.
With Osh being cancelled this year, next year will be well attended! I'm looking forward to seeing many friends, and future friends. Safe flying. Great Video!!!!
One of the best videos you’ve made so far brother. Thanks for the great intro to Garmin avionics. I’m building an RV12is and you’ve sold me on the G3X suite.
I look forward to both of their videos!!! Keep up the good work Trent!!! Would like to meet Trent, Mike, Mark, Cory and the rest of the Flying Cowboys one day!!! Hell I don't even fly!!!
Bro..this is an AWSOME AVIONICS & CONTROL PLANNING & TECHNIQUE NERDOUT! .. love it! Great demo & info vid! I fly RC bushplanes (typically my 3 Timber STOL planes & a PA-18 bushwheel SuperCub) on every surface available year round..DAY & NIGHT! Be it ground, float, ski.. I may have coined the phrase "AERO-CRAWL" from some of my confined ROUGH SURFACE STOL RC flying..I fly it steeply into the valleys of trees on short final @ close as MCAS (down to 5Kts, working lots of rudder & wing leveling, on the edge of porpoiseing, any yaw leading to abrupt 40° flap spin!) as I can with a 3# 60" wingspan electric plane w/LE slats and Fowler style slotted flaps, all about A/S (AOA HYPER CRITICAL😬), sink/power, & ELEVATOR EFFECTIVENESS! 12" Dia fixed fine pitch prop on a light model, will go from top speed of 50Kts to 10 Kts in 2 seconds, w/ resulting "WHOOOShhh.." ..so I hear ya on blanking the elevator w/turbulence! Testing surfaces, varied flap induced trim shifts, trim use in various modes of flight, etc. Real cowboys do everything to stay on the good side of the thin edge of life & not get stuck in the mud, or worse! Awsome to see Freedom Fox collab. w/FliteTest! BTW, I think you see Autopilot how I see SAFE stabilization in RC planes as a tool, not a crutch, just logical persumption! Thanks for the entertainment, beautiful scenery, & great points to ponder! It's great being a "FLYING COWBOYS's COUSIN" by flying similar in RC! I know what goes into those landings! Many touch&gos till you're happy w/ vector on rollout (track/energy) 🤠👍Thanks so much for contributing so much inspiration to multiple communities! Everyone has such a tremendous impact!
The year I was going too be able to go to Oshkosh and now we can't was really looking forward to seeing you and the rest there. Looking forward to next year. Thanks again for a very informative video.
Great video as usual Trent. I think that is practically the perfect light GA cockpit from my point of view. I know somebody building a Pietenpol Air Camper and that aircraft is getting a Dynon (I think) glass screen and engine monitor, its light, easy to read and removes the maintenance overhead that is the vacuum system.
I’ve been flying the Garmin G3X suite in my S7 for 3 years come October and have only praise for the reliability and ease of use. The autopilot was wonderful flying from Homedale ID to Titusville FL. Whether flying thru traffic dense Class B airspace Houston and Orlando or the open airspace out west, the G3X avionics lets me keep my eyes outside and on a swivel. I’m seeing problems before they become crisis. I believe having the Garmin suite (I.e. G3X, radio & autopilot) eliminated compatibility issues. If you bring the olives the darn thing will make you passengers a Martini! Fly safe - N719Q
Hey Trent, it'd be super cool to see your process start to finish. As a pilot, I love watching how other folks plan, preflight, task manage, and even call out what they and the airplane are doing. This video was a awesome and caught a glimpse of the technical side of aviation. Dig it!
Very good tutorial, Trent. You make a really strong case for glass panels. I enjoyed the demos showing just how easy they are to use. And having all that info at your fingertips, impressive! Thanks for sharing
Just out of interest.....I notice you twist the throttle control a lot. Is that to make it looser or stiffer ( as in the Tecnam P96G that I fly) or is it some other adjustment? Thanks! Great Channel ;-)
Thanks for the videos Trent. You inspired me to go out and get a plane. Only, I bought a Rocket and can only land on the smoothest backcountry runways- Johnson Creek, Garden Valley, Smiley etc. So, obviously, I’m still shopping for a real backcountry plane! So excited, hope to find one soon!
Rule of thumb is, if there's no slat on the leading edge of the wing, flaps will push the nose down. Most noticeable of all is probably IL-76. It is a huge military transport from Russia that doesn't have leading edge lift device. And you will see it actually have a negative angle of attack when on final.
That is really cool Trent I want a basic glass panel as a disabled veteran I don't get much money so just building a basic airplane plus another modified homebuilt experimental. God bless 🙏 and take care.
Finally got to see your Video which I much enjoyed. Couple of points:- No steam gauges in case of total screen failure???? Our authorities in the UK insist that we have them as backup. The Garmin unit is all singing all dancing but when can you tell if it is giving you a bum steer? I had a friend who's GPS was telling him he was over 50 miles inland but looking down he could see the sea. Opah as the Brasilians say. As for cost it's like the old saying "If you have to ask the price you cannot afford it". Regards, Jim in NI UK
Nice to see some of the more sensitive parts of how you fly and the equipment you use T.... it all went over my head like a helium filled balloon but none the less fascinating... love your videos!
When I was training in the early 2000's, glass cockpit components were starting to trickle into the training fleet. Something that always impressed me about aircraft was the incredibly robust redundancy in all systems. Discrete systems were a product of smart evolution. Fast forward to today, I see so many devices converged into one screen, it's just unnerving.
Great information, thx. A lot of this information helps in selecting my next aircraft. Certified or Experimental. I’ve lots to learn and this was a great help.

Trent, I thought the 'cumulo-granite' looked familiar, and then I knew when you said you were heading back to Stead. I live on the north end of Sparks. Your landing on the hillside reminded me of the early-mid 70's when I flew for Sierra West out of Oxnard, CA. We had exclusive landing rights on Santa Cruz Island - then privately owned. The Ranch Strip on the island separated the men from the boys! It was 2000 feet long but only the last thousand feet was usable. One way strip; it was a ten percent uphill grade, and four feet wider than the mains on a Beech Super G-18. Done right, you had to add power to get to the end of the strip. Oh, those were the days......... Carl
Great video of the Garmin G3x. My daily job is an Avionics shop supervisor in San Diego, and I am privileged to flying a Aeroprakt A32 with a G3x. My Avid Model C when I bought it had no avionics, and this year she’s getting an upgrade to GRT Mini X AP because it will fit or it would have been a G3x portrait. Whether it’s a G3x, GRT, or Dynon, the new ADHR’s displays with GPS navigator really reduce pilot saturation. This is not to promote avionics businesses, but an old school pilot stepping into the 21 Century!
I still remember when he had an iPad mounted in his panel with an old airspeed indicator behind it. They grow up so fast.
It's Dry Valley (Rancho Haven/ Sierra Ranchos) to Red Rock southbound; the canyon is actually Ross Creek canyon. I noticed that the Garmin topo maps had Bobcat Hill labeled. That is my neighbor three houses to the west of me. Bobcat Hill was named by Dennis Sweeney and his wife, who keep pet bobcats in their house and they also have a military custom engine manufacturing plant on their property... at the head of Bobcat Hill Road (where else). BTW, when I am inbound on a descent from the north to RTS, I hit around 185 kt and 7,500 ft. just about at that point. Thanks for turning your ADS-B transponder on!
Very well done. I always love your videos. Because Bushplaneflying is a bit difficult in Germany, I am driving Cessna, Piper and Cirrus for more than 18 years now and purchased a 177 RG last year. Keep on the good work and take care. Always happy landings!
Oh wow, this changed my opinion, a complete 180. The new Flight Simulator is out and I was wondering why the hell do the light bush cubs have modern screens instead of rudimentary old gauges. Well this completely changed my opinion on them. Thank you, very informative. Cheers from France :)
It's the nav features that's driving it. look how many garmin 430's are going in.
Would be nice to see more videos like this getting deeper into the flying!
Your set up is very rational and useful requiring little attention to operate. I like the outputs and the ease of operation especially as you do not have to take your eyes completely off the outside environment to see your system. I have flown in aircraft that a simple radio freq change makes you put your head down and lose the horizon totally.
I really like how Garmin is jumping in to market in just about every field. From avionics to marine charts. I also love how they partner up with other manufacturers to be compatible.
Looking at the G3X for our 182.SUPER HELPFUL! Thank you!
@Ivy Cadle What model/year is your 182 and what engine does it have?
Thanks for this video, good information. Interesting comment about how going to fine pitch can blank the horizontal tail. My Europa mono is all electric analog flight inst, with Garmin GNC 420W. Dad flew in the western Canadian artic from 1955 until 1996, Cessna 180, Helio Courier, Piper Aztec and others floats , ski's, wheels and in the 90's when GPS came along he said " GPS takes the challenge out of bush flying " He couldn't believe how much easier it became.
I guess that there are two ways of looking at this subject:- One is that anything that helps a Pilot is worth having. The other is that over reliance on these all singing all dancing panels can lead you into big trouble. Imagine getting struck by lightning and having your gizmos fried. Not good not good at all .The age old skills of using your chart, compass and stopwatch will always be something worth keeping up to date. Stay safe up there. Regards, Jim in NI UK
The 737 Max issues brought out an interesting trend in airline piloting: too many recently trained indigenous Middle Eastern pilots don't really have much experience in how to fly an airplane. A bunch were suspected of cheating on the exams. Like in the two 737 accidents, they were paging through the aircraft manuals when they should have simply turned the trim system off. With the aircraft's nose facing the ground, it's a bad time to get out the books.
Flying an airplane is fundamentally different from playing a video game or selecting a tune on Spotify.
@@jimshaw899 Yep and they even fiddle their English speaking tests. I have heard some Middle Eastern and Asian pilots whose English was atrocious. They of course hogged the frequency whilst the controller tried to ascertain the situation. To add insult to injury I a native born English speaker had to get an Examiner to state that my English was ok. Grrrrrrrrrr! Regards, Jim in NI UK
You are right...and we can put our money into gas and fly a lot...to fly VFR you don´need this type of expensive things....expensive and complicated to maintain...sensitive to humidity ....
Honestly my favorite intro of any youtube page
Amen, brother. It was sad to lose Sun N' Fun and Oshkosh. Looking to next year.
Lots of information Trent. Since I don't know how to fly. Like a lot of people, I use my Garmin on the ground plus Gaia GPS.
I've always wanted to become a pilot. Never got the chance because of the type of work I did.
Thanks for the video Trent! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You did an great job demonstrating the Garmin while entertaining your audience with your flying!
I am in a planning/build mode right now and I feel that both Mike's and YOUR video has helped me do a bit more planning in the use of advanced avionics. Yeh, more money but I can see from your description on how you utilize the information to make your flights more enjoyable. Trent, you're a real dude with real answers. thanks for the content. Rubber down and wings up! lator gator.
Thanks for making me excited for a video 12 days in advance Trent
I feel like you could start a podcast channel while flying your Bush plane. Awesome conversation & amazing views😁 could be your slogan.
Very enjoyable. Always been a Garmin follower. Enjoyed the flying demo instead of a bench talk.
It is never overkill when flying an airplane. It is wisdom.
Well.. if the cost is displacing money better spent elsewhere or the weight is more of a liability than an asset.. or the pretty glass too much of a distraction for head up VFR flying.. then it is overkill.
Everything... absolutely everything in aviation is compromise.
Great walk-around...of the inside of your ride. Love the capabilities and cross-platform capabilities of the G3X.
If you think your 3X is overkill, Scrappy is going to put you over the edge. That guy is NUTS (and I love it) He even has one for the back seater!
Finally got device straight with TH-cam Subscriptions,promised I'd be back Trent,great to be back on board with you!❤ redbaron Chattanooga TN USA
I enjoyed the commentary throughout the video, don't be afraid to do more like this.
I’m not a pilot, but I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Very informative!!!
Bushplanes are the coolest thing to own. i had never flown with one, its one of my dreams to do that
I don't know what if anything Garmin paid you for this review but whatever it was, it wasn't enough. Very nice demo of the capabilities of what appears to be a superb product. This sort of "reality" demo is so much better than a static demo in the booth. thanks.
I am preparing to put Garmin G3X in my plane now along with Garmin autopilot and full engine analyzer. Good to see your setup and help me stay motivated to get my upgrades done.
I’m literally about two weeks away from taking delivery of an American Legend “Super Legend” Cub with a G3X! After 14 years of flying with a panel from the 60s, I can’t tell you how stoked I am to finally be able to fly an airplane with a modern system in the panel!!!
Absolutely BRILLIANT film Trent!! The avionics stuff really informative and the whole flying/surfing/skiing/DirtBiking/flying stuff ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I've flown a Eurofox as a glider tow plane and your film has really turned me onto what the Kit/EuroFox SHOULD be used for!!!! AMAZING!! Thanks man!
Thanks for the review of the avionics.. Great to see how different it is and more functional than the conventional gauges.. and gives a world less clutter in the cockpit with other items filling the same role.
With Osh being cancelled this year, next year will be well attended! I'm looking forward to seeing many friends, and future friends. Safe flying. Great Video!!!!
You make me, a guy that doesn’t know much about flying get excited and want to learn someday hopefully in the near future. Love the videos man
Fires & rockets(black rock playa)! Tfr's & notams! Do they show up on the Garmin? When you push 'go home' at night, it's up to you to avoid mountains?
Enjoyed the equipment explanation also what got me interested in your channel was the hopping about with the plane. Would like to see more of that.
I just want to buy the same panel ! Nice video
One of the best videos you’ve made so far brother. Thanks for the great intro to Garmin avionics. I’m building an RV12is and you’ve sold me on the G3X suite.
I look forward to both of their videos!!! Keep up the good work Trent!!! Would like to meet Trent, Mike, Mark, Cory and the rest of the Flying Cowboys one day!!! Hell I don't even fly!!!
Bro..this is an AWSOME AVIONICS & CONTROL PLANNING & TECHNIQUE NERDOUT! .. love it! Great demo & info vid!
I fly RC bushplanes (typically my 3 Timber STOL planes & a PA-18 bushwheel SuperCub) on every surface available year round..DAY & NIGHT! Be it ground, float, ski.. I may have coined the phrase "AERO-CRAWL" from some of my confined ROUGH SURFACE STOL RC flying..I fly it steeply into the valleys of trees on short final @ close as MCAS (down to 5Kts, working lots of rudder & wing leveling, on the edge of porpoiseing, any yaw leading to abrupt 40° flap spin!) as I can with a 3# 60" wingspan electric plane w/LE slats and Fowler style slotted flaps, all about A/S (AOA HYPER CRITICAL😬), sink/power, & ELEVATOR EFFECTIVENESS! 12" Dia fixed fine pitch prop on a light model, will go from top speed of 50Kts to 10 Kts in 2 seconds, w/ resulting "WHOOOShhh.." ..so I hear ya on blanking the elevator w/turbulence! Testing surfaces, varied flap induced trim shifts, trim use in various modes of flight, etc. Real cowboys do everything to stay on the good side of the thin edge of life & not get stuck in the mud, or worse! Awsome to see Freedom Fox collab. w/FliteTest! BTW, I think you see Autopilot how I see SAFE stabilization in RC planes as a tool, not a crutch, just logical persumption! Thanks for the entertainment, beautiful scenery, & great points to ponder! It's great being a "FLYING COWBOYS's COUSIN" by flying similar in RC! I know what goes into those landings! Many touch&gos till you're happy w/ vector on rollout (track/energy) 🤠👍Thanks so much for contributing so much inspiration to multiple communities! Everyone has such a tremendous impact!
The year I was going too be able to go to Oshkosh and now we can't was really looking forward to seeing you and the rest there. Looking forward to next year. Thanks again for a very informative video.
Great video as usual Trent.
I think that is practically the perfect light GA cockpit from my point of view. I know somebody building a Pietenpol Air Camper and that aircraft is getting a Dynon (I think) glass screen and engine monitor, its light, easy to read and removes the maintenance overhead that is the vacuum system.
Well done video, Trent. Clean, clear and concise. Now about the haircut you've given some of those chickens...
I’ve been flying the Garmin G3X suite in my S7 for 3 years come October and have only praise for the reliability and ease of use. The autopilot was wonderful flying from Homedale ID to Titusville FL. Whether flying thru traffic dense Class B airspace Houston and Orlando or the open airspace out west, the G3X avionics lets me keep my eyes outside and on a swivel. I’m seeing problems before they become crisis. I believe having the Garmin suite (I.e. G3X, radio & autopilot) eliminated compatibility issues. If you bring the olives the darn thing will make you passengers a Martini! Fly safe - N719Q
Anything I can put on or in my plane to make it safer I am all in , great video
As always, Trent, nicely done.
Hey Trent, it'd be super cool to see your process start to finish. As a pilot, I love watching how other folks plan, preflight, task manage, and even call out what they and the airplane are doing. This video was a awesome and caught a glimpse of the technical side of aviation. Dig it!
Who gives this a thumbs down?!? Trent, fantastic and OSH 21 is coming!
Thank-you Trent. Excellent as always....
Pretty sweet set up, pretty much what I plan on putting in my build... thank you for the demo!
Superb avionics suite, I like it. I saw an early Cub once all it had was ASI, RPM, Ball & Slip,Altimeter and Oil Press
I noticed your airsped is around 80 mph = 70 knots in the video. Is the kitfox so dragy? Shouldn't it be faster with the rotax 915?
I just put the g3x in my Zenith 650... Best efis screen out there.. worth every penny... I love it
Very good tutorial, Trent. You make a really strong case for glass panels. I enjoyed the demos showing just how easy they are to use. And having all that info at your fingertips, impressive! Thanks for sharing
Just out of interest.....I notice you twist the throttle control a lot. Is that to make it looser or stiffer ( as in the Tecnam P96G that I fly) or is it some other adjustment? Thanks! Great Channel ;-)
Thanks for the videos Trent. You inspired me to go out and get a plane. Only, I bought a Rocket and can only land on the smoothest backcountry runways- Johnson Creek, Garden Valley, Smiley etc. So, obviously, I’m still shopping for a real backcountry plane! So excited, hope to find one soon!
Rule of thumb is, if there's no slat on the leading edge of the wing, flaps will push the nose down. Most noticeable of all is probably IL-76. It is a huge military transport from Russia that doesn't have leading edge lift device. And you will see it actually have a negative angle of attack when on final.
That is really cool Trent I want a basic glass panel as a disabled veteran I don't get much money so just building a basic airplane plus another modified homebuilt experimental. God bless 🙏 and take care.
Was trying to do research on the G3X this week. Unfortunate timing with the Garmin hack. This was extremely helpful. Thanks Trent.
Finally got to see your Video which I much enjoyed. Couple of points:- No steam gauges in case of total screen failure???? Our authorities in the UK insist that we have them as backup. The Garmin unit is all singing all dancing but when can you tell if it is giving you a bum steer? I had a friend who's GPS was telling him he was over 50 miles inland but looking down he could see the sea. Opah as the Brasilians say. As for cost it's like the old saying "If you have to ask the price you cannot afford it". Regards, Jim in NI UK
Nice to see some of the more sensitive parts of how you fly and the equipment you use T.... it all went over my head like a helium filled balloon but none the less fascinating... love your videos!
When I was training in the early 2000's, glass cockpit components were starting to trickle into the training fleet. Something that always impressed me about aircraft was the incredibly robust redundancy in all systems. Discrete systems were a product of smart evolution. Fast forward to today, I see so many devices converged into one screen, it's just unnerving.
a g3x, a g5, and a cellular (gps) ipad leave you with all instruments and navigation redundant.
Thatgs some very cool flying and what a beautiful airplane.
Great information, thx. A lot of this information helps in selecting my next aircraft. Certified or Experimental. I’ve lots to learn and this was a great help.
That is cool. i have been fascinated with these kitfox.
I think your avionics setup is excellent. Course it's not overkill - anything that helps. 101k views in 3 days - incredible!
