    I hold the nose wheel off until it settles. I’d suppose I can roll 1000 feet in a wheelie in my 9A.

    How do you like the DC One-X headset compared to Bose A20 hubby wears?

    • @svtpete83
      @svtpete83  Před rokem

      My wife loves her DC's. We have spent a few flights with each others headsets and they both are great. We also have a pair of Zulu 3's. The zulu 3's mic doesn't pic up quite as good as the others. The DC's are more comfortable to wear on a long trip. The Bose have a touch better noise cancelling. If push came to shove, she wouldn't trade her DC1X's for any of them!

      You think I should fly into Napa or one of the Sonoma fields? Which is better? I’ll be getting a rental car so either place works.

    • @svtpete83
      @svtpete83  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Our seats and seat cushions are made by a company called oregon aero. They make some great stuff! I would also look into the antisplat almost a 14 mod. This gave me much more adjust-ability when it came to seating and positioning. Good luck with the build!!

    Jeepers peter, you gotta get a dictionary and look up the word "attempt " . Looks like Shayna showed Charlie what's up. I'm thinking there's gotta be cirrus in your future brother.
