Headed out to Katama (1B2)

I think Im getting the 180 dialed in a bit closer.  I have 10hrs on since the new tires etc., and it feels nice and tight.  Of course this whole CS prop thing is totally new to me, but I think Im getting it.  Cross country from L.A. I was worried at the 14.5gph burn, so I’ve been messing around with power settings and have been happy with a lesser 11gph burn at roughly the same TAS.  In the C170, the A/C seemed to want to wheel land all the time.  With the 180, its the opposite.  Its soooo much heavier than the 170.  More practice needed…

Was a bit dreary in Eastern MA today, but a nice calm day to fly.  I put 1.4 on the hobbs and headed over to Martha’s Vineyard and did a couple at Katama (1B2).  (such a great place)  Playing all this hooky from work is gonna kick my ass come next month.
