REFLECTOR: Re: Brakes

Scott, 

I have decided against using dual throttles for now. I dont think I have the room, and using a vernier on the left makes it a little more of a pain. Since my fuel injection is on the top of my engine, space is a little sparse up there.

I only have 1 low altitude sector, that is over by AMA & DHT. East of LVS up to TBE over to west of LBL, GAG, SYO to 40S of AMA then back west. the other 6 sectors are all FL290 and above. 

I really will get over to GNT and see your work one of these days. Right now, Im spending every spare minute I get working on the Velocity. It will fly this year.

Cool!!!  
Wish I was close to engine start...  
I've decided to do dual throttles, you?? 

I just started a part time job flying a T210 for a local drilling company, between 1 and 3 flights a week. 2 to 4 hours round trip.. Short round trip hops from Grants to West Texas, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and of course all over NM. Great way to stay current in a well maintained high performance airplane. What area do you work in and where is it? I'll give ya a call in the air...
