Try this link to my shutterfly. not sure if it works. we will soon find out. Its the only shot I have that has Johns whole plane in it. I took many close ups of things he did to his. Odd thing is this link works in the preview but Im not sure you will be able to see it as a link like in preview.

It's even nicer than originally thought. Very nice!
So how does it fly? What size prop are you running? Do you like how it performs?
This plane flies great. I must say I've already had more fun flying this plane than any other airplane I've had the opportunity to fly. I've flown a bunch of Young Eagles and the kids all just love the view with the clear doors. I have kids that get to our rallies early so that they can be first to request to fly in my plane.
I'm running the 70" whirlwind and have it set for a climb pitch and the takeoff and climb performance is phenomenal. I have just increased the pitch a little while I had it in for the annual and will see if it will give me a little more speed without sacrificing too much climb.

VERY NICE! Thanks for posting.

You should be very proud of the plane, it looks very nice. How do you like the Garmin G3X pros and cons?
John! Don't share the Cons! I don't want to regret buying these $$$$ items.
OK go ahead. I just won't read them.

There's not much not to like about the G3X Touch. The thing really is a joy to fly with and Garmin is continually making improvements to the software. One example is that it didn't have a way to display AGL altitude. I (and I'm sure many others) emailed Garmin to ask about adding this. Pretty soon there was an update with AGL display included.
I guess the only criticism that I can think of is that some of the remote mounted components like radio and transponder are rather large and heavy compared to some of the competition.
I really like that Garmin has partnered with Foreflight so that I can transfer Foreflight flight plans wirelessly between my Ipad and PFD and also display ADS-B traffic and weather from the Garmin on the IPAD

Thank you for the update on the G3X. Sounds like Garmin has their act together with this one.
