    Do you have your instrument rating? If not, what's keeping you from getting it?

      I'd love to get my IR, but I don't have enough free time to study for the written, and probably not enough free time to keep it current. But I'm dreaming!

      Remember when I texted you saying: you need to come on a long IFR XC with me? This was the flight that inspired that text.

    That’s so cool. I made the leap and bought all the equipment to make mine ifr rated, just waiting to get it installed. I can’t wait to get started on my ifr training

      Oh, excellent! If I can make a suggestion: consider doing the accelerated IFR course. I started on the regular training path and switched to accelerated half way through and I really wish I'd have just done the accelerated from the start.
      For me, I was doing 2-3 lessons per week. But when I'd have a 2 day layoff between lessons the first half of the lesson was me having to relearn everything. About midway through that I ended up with some scheduling conflicts with my instructor so I switched.
      I took a week off of work, and just became a full time instrument student. And I loved it. Not only did I get it done quicker it was cheaper!
      I wish I'd just done it that way from the start.
      Good luck with your instrument training!

    Looks awesome, though I am just a little disappointed that this isn't a video about a flying In-N-Out Burger

      You make an excellent point. The title is definitely misleading! 😂

    Awesome!! Your videos are amazing!! What altitude were you cruising at?

    • @1dullgeek

      Thank you!
      As far as altitude, I didn't remember but when I looked it up, looks like it was 8000.

      Awesome! I have a 140/160 conversion with powerflow and if it is hot it takes a lot of effort to climb that high if its me and a passanger.

      @@andresfleury8825 yeah it does. I have an engine monitor in the airplane and I make sure CHTs don't get above 410F. Which means I climb pretty slowly. I just tell ATC unable 500 fpm climb and get there when I get there.
