Default G3X Great Circle

Got some good flying in over the weekend, including really noticing the great circle routes drawn on the G3X Touch for the first time, and some other general pics from the trip.


Early Morning Departure


Sunrise








Inflated potato chip bag at 9,000 ft


Great Circle on the G3X Touch


First time breaking 200kts in this aircraft.

This is incredible hardware! Imagine the skywriting one can do with the help of this glass...

You should think of getting some navigation equipment, you could get lost out there.

That's actually an old iphone I use as a DVR in conjunction with the video inputs on the G3X Touch. An iPhone with a 30 pin cable directly outputs composite video and analog audio. Now that you mention it though, I'll have to build a mount for it.

As Rod Machado would say.... be careful that bag may go Frito-Nova.

You know, it's happened to me before in another airplane. Sounds just like loosing an exhaust baffle. "What was that sound?!" "Wait, what's that smell?!" "Oh, never mind, it's cool."

Default Great panel!

Those new G3X touch panels are nice! I like the attention to layout and placement. I am also curious about the dual screen backup instruments device in the lower left. Who makes that product?
