Nice landing Don and nice HD video too. What's the ""thingy"" above the cockpit root tube?

Frank, it's a rear view mirror (largely useless).
You might be interested in the app running on the iPhone stuck to the windscreen. It's iFly. I've been trying it--halfway through the 30 day free trial period--and like it a lot, probably well enough to buy the iFly 720, which comes with a remote control that should make it usable in turbulence. I'll post a review or something in a day or so.

I have the iFly 720 as my primary GPS. Love it.

That's as good as a review can get. The devil with the details.

I am loathe to agree with Ratcliffe on anything, but I'll make an exception here: iFly720 rocks.

You guys! I just decided to NOT go for the 720 but to get a mini iPad 2 or 3 --with the Garmin iPilot software AND it will do double
duty by replacing my antique iPad S/N 00002 or something.

Frank, I use Garmin Pilot on my iPhone in flight and probably will continue to use it after replacing the superannuated Airmap 2000c in my panel with iFly. I like having two different GPSs because they display different stuff and display stuff differently.
I want a dedicated GPS firmly attached to the panel and wired into the aircraft's systems so it'll always be there when I want to go flying.
Also, it has to have solid buttons to push in turbulence--and there's almost always turbulence. What saves the buttonless, touchscreen iFly 720 is the remote control that I trust works in any kind of turbulence. (As long as it doesn't fall into the bilge--but that's what Velcro is for.) Also, the 720's screen is brighter than any iPad I've seen, which makes a big difference in bright sun and light-colored clothes and skin. That it has all those other features and costs less than half the cheapest Garmin make it a winner in my mind.
(Any more technical than that, and we'd better head over to STS.)
