Gyro's are notoriously finicky when you abuse them. ie bouncing the shit out of them on float ops, off field etc.... AHRS and EFIS have a much lower MTBF. In addition they don't tend to use ac115, another link in the chain that can't break. I'd like to see the write up on the whole suite.

So what you're saying is your going to undercut all the other operators. Welcome to the race to the bottom. Have your rural hard to get population to start their own club/company and restrict it so you don't force other operators out of business. anyone else want to chime in?

Having worked with B-z-k-r. I can't see him trying to take advantage of you. maybe he's had to introduce a bond because some putz/es didn't honour their word. Yes getting on a bigger a/c asap is important, however living up to your word is more important. Are the wages low probably, but it is what t...

I call horseexcrement. try starting your pt6 with throttles full forward. until you hit above 60% or so the fcu will not schedule fuel thanks to surge protection from the P3/Py line. Be fast with the throttles though it will accelerate really fast from there to full power.

The asz 62 is a clone of the curtiss wright 1820. I was pretty sure but just confirmed. Its 9 cylinder Shvetsov ASh-62IR radial engines are uprated copies of the Wright Cyclone SGR-1820-F-series engines.
