I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

It was sweet, being the first flight more time was spent on the preflight than actual flying, which everyone in dispatch ragged on me about.

The plane is a PA 44 Seminole, relatively a sucky light twin when compared to other light twins. But compared to a Cessna 172sp.....wowzers.. it has sooo much power....soo much faster. We didn't do anything too exciting just went out and did some regular flight maneuvers, climbs, turns, get used to visual references. The plane felt twichy with ailerons and I had to muscle it on the stabilator. Electrim was nice....twin garmin 430 were nice, Apollo MX200 was nice....it was sooo sweet , just undescribible.... 8)

Embry finaly got all the seminoles running?

I love zipping around in my old flight school's Partenavia twin. It's speedy, easy to fly, is comfortable on S.E., and lands nice and slow. Dream to fly.......

Ain't pretty, but a dream to do your twin training in.

Sounds like a very good thing for you! Glad you finally got to it!

As for me I have only flown a twin so far, the Piper Cheyenne III...up to 11 passengers in the "space-saving" configuration....Only got about 10 minutes which is all of my flight time so far... Wink
