GPS Question.... Yet Again

Carlsbad indeed. I am still a new pilot, so I am not ready to jump out of
my C172 just yet. :-) I am certaily anxious to try some new planes
though.

Also, for stick aircraft or added

Oh, and if you fly out of Carlsbad, as the photos on your site seem to
imply, you WILL fly stick aircraft. Check out Pinnacle's DA40. One
flight and you'll never look back.

Carlsbad indeed.


Are you flying with Pinnacle? I rented there last fall and really liked
the outfit. Very professional. First place I've seen to turn away a
prospective renter after the non-satisfactory check-out (another
German, not very fluent in English and neither, it seemed, in Cessnas).

Their DA-40 isn't much more expensive than the new 172s, if you factor
in the higher speed - and it is a world apart. I'd recommend making the
transition as soon as possible, if only because flying different types
tremendously widens a pilot's horizon. Also, the visibility out of the
"flying bubble" will blow you away, pure and simple.

I might be coming back next fall...

Thomas,

I fly with a club, Pacific Coast Flyers. I actually live in Temecula, so
it is about an hour drive to the airport. I am thinking of getting checked
out at our local airport (French Valley) F70 to make my drive only 10
minutes.
