Glad to say I finally got the 7A home. I picked it up several weeks ago, but immediately dropped it off next door to have some landing/taxi lights installed.
The trip began with a very early road trip down to Florida in the rental. Looks like a great day for flying:
Got dropped off at the airport. After a little wait, the plane was finished up and waiting to depart:
I'm pretty sure I had enough GPSs/moving maps! Even so, I still used the iPad due to my comfort level and familiarity with the software. I have to use all the others a while before the button pushing becomes second nature - even though reading the Skyview, iFly, and 496 manuals, and using the 430 simulator helped a lot:
Doesn't get much clearer:
A little under 2 hours later and the maiden voyage is history. Can't wait to learn the airplane and build my proficiency in it:
