I did, last Wednesday  Not long after leaving the airport northbound, the Garmin III+ popped up a message: Battery Low. Then it went off, and after one more rep it stayed off. Happily there was not much wind, and the position of the compass (there is no gyro in the Cub) was well-remembered as between N and 3 outbound and between S and 16 on the return trip, which enabled me to go and return with reasonable accuracy. (Viz was about 10 miles so I couldn't steer by the mountains as I prefer to do.) It made me realize that it had been a very long time since I'd checked my progress on the chart. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com The Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com Viva Bush! blog www.vivabush.org
