The Tiger Moth DH.82 in XP11 is a bit sensitive and was initially difficult to taxi. It has no nosegear. At the start it often went around to the left and off the track. Annoying. But a “Taildragger” needs two differential brakes programmed to Shift-V and -B, left and right. Then set the rudder to A and S with Z for central. That was a great improvement. The aircraft flies wonderfully, has a great sound and a beautiful view. Tested from Honolulu airport, over the military base (two Phantoms) to Pearl Harbor. Here's a Touch and Go on the relatively short runway. Smoothly. And back to the airport.

Cessna My second test in this Cessna 172 SP G1000 to fly IFR according to a small flight plan with AP, NAV etc. and land with APR on runway 4R 110.5 MHz. Not 100% as planned, but above all it went well. Nice Garmin's.

Another long flight with my beautiful Beech B-58. beautiful device. First made a flightplan. Then a discussion with ATC, taxiing, departure, a short flighttour over Las Vegas. The Hoover Dam was a bit disappointing. It just wasn't there yet. The lake and the Colorado River was nice. The Grand Canyon was also beautiful and quite narrow in some places. Landed as planned at airstrip Bar-10 1Z1 Webbs Ranch in the middle of the desert, in the middle of nowhere. Nice trip. Sometimes some slow images.
