Happy enough to flight plan to Barbados and back?
Nice setup. I've been surprised by the interface on the 375/gfc500 combo - easier than expected for input on the small screen.


Ya, the input is easy enough. I actually make most of my flight plans on my ipad or 796 and then they blue tooth to the 375, makes it even easier.

Although not as efficient I guess, I like the look of the old style square tip props

I'm curious about this. I'd love to try a voyager, but I honestly can't see it making a huge difference. This is one of the most efficient and fastest 206s that I know of. She works pretty good...

Thanks. I used a Selkirk one. Used their tunnel cover and extended baggage as well.

Re: P206A mummy restoration

I used Selkirk as well, great product and people. It looks like yours has a stitched seam on it that the one for my 182 does not. Didn’t know if you added a vinyl or leather layer to it. The only downside to mine is there’s a bit of glare in the sun and it’s slippery.

Nothing added to mine, the "stitching" is just molded into the plastic. Yes I can get some glare some days, but I've never found it too bad.

Very nice Skyward. your plane looks great!
