That's the plane I did my instrument in! Love the PFD/MFD setup, as well as where the controls are. Much easier using your kneeboard with a sidestick :aok

Awesome for you. I've had an SR-20 for the past 3 years, flown the soup out of it. Currently based at BDR. Solo'ing a guy tomorrow in it - will have a chase plane for the occasion. If we shoot, will provide video.

MachFly, Love the plane and have flown all models but the Jet! I used to fly the MSP-Baraboo-DLH-MSP for the guys years ago and flew the prototype I think the fall of 96. I knew this was going to be a great plane and wish we had the electronic goodies that plane has in our so-called modern airliners! Flifast

First time around he caught a 3-wire. But once he got the wind dialed in he did it right.

I put a camera in the wing root but forgot to Remember to mount it rightside up.

Of course, in an SR20 the autopilot is flying the plane so it doesn't really matter too much where the stick is ;)

Ah - the mighty Katana I'm learning in doesn't have an autopilot. It does have breakers for various gauges, trim, flaps, avionics etc which my CFI has employed to good use from time to time :D
