Looks like a really nice, WELL equipped Arrow. The only thing missing for
extra safety in IMC operations would be either a backup electric AI (which I
recommend) or a backup vacuum source. Either in my opinion would be a
better (and smaller) investment than the fancy new wing tips.

Enjoy your new bird!

This is easily the best of the Arrows we'd looked at.

Way to go, Jack! (Tell that ugly guy to get out from in front of the plane,
will ya? He's blocking the view! :-)

One thing I noticed from the pictures: The push-to-talk buttons are on the
*right* side of the yokes, sticking up.

I've never seen that before. Usually they're on the *left* side of the
yoke, sticking forward, like pistol triggers.

Did the seller explain that at all? They must've been a royal bitch to
install that way...

PTT on pilot side in my cherokee is on the left side of the yoke and
also sticking up. There's a second PT switch much like the pistol
trigger you mention. It's the cut-off for the autopilot.

Might be the same on the Arrow?

Ya, who is that clown and how come he's smiling so much?

The PTT is actually on the left side of the yoke, where your trigger
finger would be. What you're seeing on the right side is the playback
button for the DRE intercom. It does look like a PTT though.

"Playback button"?

It's pretty clear to me that you've now got WAY too many toys to play
with...

Yeah... "playback"... like on MS Flight Sim... if you fly over something
that you want to see again... or if you make a really great landing you can
"save" it to memory, then when you want it do it again, you just hit the
"playback" button!

think digital recorder for clearances Jay
