Just a question for those of you experimenting with iPads and smartphones.. I'm guessing that you have a 12-volt battery source to keep the device charged. I have an Android phone, and am thinking about an iPad, probably an older one off eBay, but wondered about the internal battery life. I know when I use the Android for GPS nav in the car, it kills it pretty quickly unless it's plugged into a car charger. That said, I navigated to Brodhead in 2011 just with trip-tics and pilotage, and it was a lot of fun. But the weather was perfect and I didn't have to deviate from the planned course line at all. This past year, with all the weather in the midwest, my track to Brodhead looked like a snake. I was glad to have had an old Garmin 90 with me. Folded charts are a disaster in a Piet cockpit. I've had flashbacks to Jimmy Stewart in "The Spirit of St. Louis" flying low and yelling "Which way to Ireland???"Matt Paxton________________________________________________________________________________

I have an Android phone, and am thinking about an iPad, probably an older one off eBay, but wondered about the internal battery life. I know when I use the Android for GPS nav in the car, it kills it pretty quickly unless it's plugged into a car charger.

I tried Control Vision Anywhere Map several years ago when they used a Windows based tablet computer. The first computer continually locked up=2C so they installed Windows 7. Then it only locked up about half the time. I sent it back a second time and they sent me a new computer. It would take as long as 30 minutes to lock onto the GPS satellites would lose the signal if I moved it form the top of the instrument panel. Disgusted I returned it and they refunded my purchase price less a 15% restocking fee. The system cost $2195. I then bought the 1st generation IPad and WingX Pro and it has worked flawlessly. Locks on to the satellites in about 10 seconds (I use the internal receiver). I have never had a need for a separate GPS receiver. The IPad and WingX Pro cost about 1/3 what the Control Vision cost at the time. I don't recommend Control Vision.Max

Try folding charts in an ultrlight! I just foled them in the direction of flight and folded one flap over and the other under as I went. Of course at a 30kt cruise and 5gal of gas that usually wasn't far.Doug DeverIn beautiful Stow OhioSubject: Pietenpol-List: Re: iPads=2C iPhones=2C iDunnos....

I am seriously considering building some 4130 tailfethers for the GN-1. I wouldreally be interested in knowing what the weight differences would be...whichis really heavier. If wood is lighter, I would just keep wood taifeathers. Anybodyknow?

I have ForeFlight as a trinket on my ipad/iphone. I flew 4.1hrs one day with itto go pick up some spare tires/brakes, converting my GN-1 to a freighter(frontstick out). I have the little hockey puck-style gps antenna (xgps150). I justwear my usual hawaiian shirt, put the 'puck' inside my shirt on my left shoulder,and keep the iphone in my front pocket. Works great..figured my landingfuel to w/in one tenth of a gallon. Having all of this is neat stuff, but now that I have a new 406 ELT/gps's...antennaeon my center section wing. I am now thinking that it is taking away fromthe magic of yesteryear and going back to the good ol' barnstorming era of Pietenpolling.I left it all behind (including handheld) on my last sortie. I feltthe difference in enjoyment. Flying w/out the geek stuff was much more relaxing,keeping the eyes outside to enjoy the farmlands below. This is why I wantedthe open cockpit antique-style machine in the first place.LarryRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
