Until I can get a feel for how the 140 performs at higher altitudes, I'm going to fly very conservatively. I've taken it up to 12,500 out here just to see how it climbs and I still have 200fpm at that altitude. I appreciate the invite and car offer! I'll let you know if I swing by. I was looking at Santa Paula for a stop to try and avoid the majority of the class b, but we'll see what happens!

Also looking forward to the winter weather. The never ending summer in Hawaii gets old after a while

Keep notes on your performance and take your time. No rush, Brah!

Example of Montgomery to Torrance, avoiding the crowded airspace:



Torrance to Santa Paula:


I’ll will let you know when boots on the ground KTOA!

Aloha!
