Awesome!, I am installing these in a customers airplane right now…thank you…

very nice video I appreciate it. I have a Cessna 172N and is thinking about getting one. I have a question since you have the single axis system how do you make your altitude changes? do you disengage the actuator make the change and then reengage? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
There is no restriction on the yoke for pitch changes. you can move the yoke in and out.
@@cessna150pilot6 Excellent, that's good to hear, thank you for the response.
Where did you get the kit for the patroller windows?
This wasnt a kit, it was done under a 337 years ago
the airplane is pulling the concrete off your floor
Effertz Plain
Great job, enjoy these videos. Just finished painting our Cessna 150J this spring. Working on our interior now. Really like that intercom. What brand/model is it?
its a softcomm put in years ago. Sigtronics I believe makes it now
Very Interesting and Informative Video Sir 👍👌🧐 Cheers 🍻🍻
In your opinion, is 6'-4" too tall to comfortably pilot a 150/152?
no, but straining it. Ive had some 6'1"to 6'3" in comfortably
@@cessna150pilot6 I appreciate it, TY.
Does it have a GPS built in or are you using that Stratux for that also?
It has a built ion GPS but it is getting its info from the Stratux
Enjoy the videos. A buddy and myself bought a Aeronca Chief out of a hangar near where it appears your at a few years ago. Cool airport
Very cool! Thanks for watching!
What RPM setting are you using for that airspeed?
bout 2500-2550
Took all my training in a Cessna 150, never knew of more than the wing drains.
It was same for me!
What GPS do you use?.. is that a program on your iPad ?.. thanks
Ifly 740b, Im now running the IFLY EFB Tablet
For your headset jack panel, did you have to cut away the entire cutout beside the trim wheel for your new headset jack panel or did you just drill holes for the jacks and use the panel plate as a cover panel?
We had to do a cutout. There had been so much stuff installed in that over the years it was a mess. Part of the reason for the panel
Great info! Next time you’re checking one can you take a video of it? I’m sure we’d all love to see a visual of just how much crud can accumulate! Thanks.
Great ! For longer trips I carry a vmax pro and a xiaomi mi 3 (gf). Perfect for the most locations. The vmax is slightly too big but nice to ride tho. Keep loading up your content. Like it. If you are in europe please drop by for a beer 🍻🛴
Too much ! 8 degree is not acceptable. Go for garmin g5's
After the internal mag and updates, mine is rock solid now. have found no need to install the external mag on my application. Happy as can be
Nice review. A bit too close to the yoke. I have the 740 mounted and velcroed to the panel. This is a bit too big and heavy for me.
It is def heavier but Ive not found it to interfere with much of anything. Each panel would be unique
Very Cool👍🏼
Thanks!
Love your videos, can you add your country and email address inside your profile?
Trio is announcing the STC for the Trio Pro Pilot for 150s. I'm slated to get one of the first installs on my 150L. The Trio can be used for RNAV approaches.
THat is what makes a traditional autopilot worthwhile, the cert IFR capability
Thanks for sharing the flight...thats nice that the auto pilot works so well...until next time ..fly smart.
It sounds like you put your phone down in a coffee can, or you’ve cupped your hand over the mic-hole … something is messing with this EQ on your voice that sounds unnatural.
Trying to work out the bugs, without too much time invested ha
Can I, as the owner of my certified airplane, install this without being an A&P?
Must be done under an A&P/IA supervision and sign off
I tear'd up watching your trip back home. Especially listening to 'You Are Awesome in This Place'. Our daughter and son-in-law lived in Jackson Hole Wyoming for three years and she wants to move back there. She's in the upstate of South Carolina now. Thanks for the video. Happy y'all were able to make the trip. God bless you brother.
Glad you enjoyed it! May the LORD bless you too!
What happened to the Portapilot autopilot?
This was before I installed it
Where did you get the glare shield black cover?
Dont recall, that was so many years ago!
Cool...do you have the constance beeping like I heard in the video while it was working...hope to see cross country flights while using it...thanks for sharing.
I certainly do not hear it while flying. I had a ground needing moved on the intercom so I believe it's gone now
Beautiful 150..brings me back to the time when I was able to fly...true flying ..slow and low..and relaxing...thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish I had known you were coming that close to KMDQ. I would have flown over to meet you in my 150. I fly over there very often. Watch for those eagles over the lake.
This was a very good review. There is not much information about this autopilot. As another C-150 owner, it is frustrating that we do not have many options for a panel-mounted a/p. Trio is anticipating approval shortly, and I am hopeful one day Garmin will consider adding the 150 to the GFC 500 approved list.
Glad it was helpful! I agree!
Does the power to the unit act as a quick disconnect? Or do you have to remove the control arm to really disconnect the thing?
Remove the servo carrier
This looks really cool, and I think even just a 1-axis would do a lot to reduce workload. Hoping to see a Piper Cherokee option next. I wonder if it may be possible to get a 90-degree connector for the interface decice with the buttons so the silly wire doesn't stick out.
I did add a 90 degree and it's much better. They are working on a new cable as well to tidy things up
I’d rather a Garmin autopilot than some clip on Mickey Mouse system
I think that is true for all of us if it was affordable and approved for each aircraft we need one on
This little system appears to be a clever and relatively budget friendly way to upgrade various GA aircraft to GPS autopilot navigation. Does the FAA consider this setup adequate/certified for IFR navigation?
No, the FAA does not consider this for anything as it's portable. This is pilot choice. However in an emergency it would be nice to have!
Was actually flight tested by the FAA. Since not bolted to aircraft, it is not under certification jurisdiction of FAA.
Liked and subscribed. Please do a follow up / make more content on the PortaPilot 👍👍
Thanks so much and will do!
Weather turning bad in Texas is the only thing predictable about our weather.
What a super cool adventure. Flew in and out of Midway a lot for my PPL. Look forward to heading my way up to Tennessee one of these days.
Damn they're even coming for Pilots jobs!! Cool video!
Thanks for watching!
Very neat unit. Now if it would just work in my Kitfox. 😉
Thanks for the video. It looks like there's an input/output monitor, an actuator that drives the yoke and a processor unit that controls the actuator. My question is how do you connect your GPS unit to the processor unit? Is it hard wired? or is it wireless driven?
This is hardwired. However there are Bluetooth to serial adapters out there if one wanted to be wireless
Great Video. Creative thinking must have gone into this.
Definitely. I feel this is a real niche waiting to catch on
How does Trim get handled…does it prompt you to adjust trim and indicate when it’s in trim? Also…for altitude hold, does it prompt you to make adjustments to throttle, etc? I enjoy your videos..I’m nearby you and own a 150 based at DKX.
Yes it does prompt you to adjust trim and will indicate when it's in trim. However I only have the NAV model, and not the VNAV. Thanks for watching and good to have someone nearby. Are you hangared?
I actually just got a Hangar at Seymour Airpark TN20…but I also have a tiedown at DKX as my teenagers are both working on their Private Certificate at DKX and train out of there.
Great video again. I looked at these a year or so ago, but did not do anything for the same reasons that you cited. I have a 150J, so It looks like it will not work for me anyway. I can afford an installed autopilot, but I'm not sure that I want to put that much money in a 150. On the PortaPilot, that installation did not look that easy to me. Can it be attached to an iPad? Your videos are always very good. Thanks for this one.
It really is easy, I just was being more "permanent" in my install. A quick install not being as tidy would have been really fast. An iPad can drive it provided the flight software has NMEA out capability with the correct adapters
C150J simply needs a newer style yoke collar (2460038-1). Inexpensive, easy to replace. One bolt releases yoke, four small screws replace yoke collar. But not DYI
I assume you still need ads-b in with the new tablet? I see you have a Stratux unit up on the dash.
Correct
In the video you said you turned on the “internal magnetometer” …isn’t how that model always works if you don’t have the optional external magnetometer? Thanks!!!
The earlier models did not have an internal magnetometer, and even one with it need it turned on and calibrated
