Hi guys,
I've been a member on here for some time, but I never actually posted anything. However last summer I went to North Carolina and bought my first airplane, an S1S! I opted to personally fly it back home to California, and make a video about the trip. If you want to check that out, feel free to click on the link. However I was looking to get some general info/answers/tips...
-Does anybody know this airplane? N678S Pitts S1S out of KTTA (I believe there is a gentleman on here by the name of Eric who used to hangar his airplane in the same building. I don't think he flies anymore, but if anyone knows this airplane it would be a cool thing to share).
-I'm a brand new aircraft owner, and any tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated. Anything from generic oil changes, to Pitts specific quirks to look out for.
-Does anyone use an app/software to remind themselves of maintenance, oil changes, and parachute re-pack due dates? Or is that just something you keep track of in your head?
-Has anybody flown an aerobatic airplane coast to coast? What route did you take? Any similar stories? What did you do different?
-If you do watch the video... I would really appreciate any feedback about the video and/or the flying. Please note that I cut all of the "boring" stuff to keep it interesting to the general public.
And please be easy on me
I don't know what I don't know, so I'm just busy learning as much as I can.Thanks,
Ben
