|
|
So, I didn't get to fly - didn't expect to - but I did get to sit in
the 650 today. I'll be upgrading my plans next week. I love the new
canopy, besides being a safety feature, it make entry and exit much
easier. I have plenty of headroom. It just feels much more solid. I
can easily fit my legs under the panel, which was an issue
previously. That may have to do with weight loss, but it seems like
there is a bit more leg room. I'm not wild about the dual sticks as
my legs interfere with full aileron deflection. in fact I'll probably
go with a single straight center stick (not the Y).
This plane is absolutely loaded. Standard 6 pack + Aspen EFIS, Dyson
D10 engine monitor, Garmin 530, 2 axis Tru-trak autopilot. Very nice
panel layout. Leather interior. Dual breaks. The interior was much
nicer than any other LSA I've seen, I've seen a bunch of them at S&F.
Kudos to AMD for fit and finish.

Where's the autopilot hiding? I couldn't find it in the panel pictures I
saw.

They got my interior right, and I'm quite pleased with it (as well as the
paint and graphics).

Its on the far left hand side of the panel. It's a round 2 1/2" (?)
facia.
