Welcome!

Scott - congrats and welcome! Dean

Josh, Very nice! I grew up nearby at K44 - way back before I got my Commander. Next time I head that direction, I will have to see about a fuel stop in Perryton! Dean

Jesse - yes, I am the Dean at Spaceport in Denver -- 720-470-7224 Dean

Joel, I didn't see the info about using the Beech take-offs in post #2 - so trying to include that info for Bob. Dean

Bob, Here is another series of posts. Search for "Cygnet/Beech Control Wheel / Yoke - owners - question/favor" - it's 5 pages long - but has some info that may help you too. Dean

Kurt, Welcome and congratulations! Dean

First Congrats on your Commander! This is a great forum for resources and help. I found my CFI from a recommendation on here and have gained tons more knowledge and info. Follow up with Carl, or others who have recommendations for the NW, there is help available. Commanders are not vastly...

Doug, Look at how the ear pieces attach. Halo uses standard sized sound tubes - which means easy to get connectors. I had silicone ear plugs made with "L" shaped connectors in them. This removes the need for foam pieces and makes a better fit/seal. You can make them yourself, or an...

I am with Neal - I have the Halo QT's - but - opted to swap out the foam ear pieces for molded silicon. They cut out the noise, very comfortable, and definitely not heavy. There will be a wait for them. My only thinking is the box and wiring seem a bit "light" in construction, but, they've...

Nice! Welcome! Dean

Max, Welcome to the group! I've only had 42w for 7 years and about 600 hours. Prior to that, it was Arrows, Archers and various 152, 172, 182s. Here are my answers to your points. 1. due to an "undersized tail", crosswind control on landings are "more difficult than with most of its...

Joe, I don't have a TC - but - a 114. If you guys end up near Denver, you are both welcome to try on the cabin to see how it fits. I am at KCFO next door to KDEN. Dean

Welcome

Doug, I flew that route this spring (KTCS - KCFO) - La Veta Pass is simple and has AWOS so you can get real time winds. Plus you have options a farther north if winds/weather aren't to your liking. Mosca Pass is very close to the north and farther north is Poncha Pass (near KANK) and that's an...

It's also not bad for the folks on the west coast. If people aren't comfortable flying the passes/mountains - there are routes north and south that provide lower terrain to get east of the Rockies. Dean

Pete, I live in Denver - so can probably be in place for a Friday afternoon/evening check in/ welcome wagon. Depending on schedules, I might be able to make Thursday work too. I've already had to commit a lot of my vacation time so I don't have too much flexibility this late in the year. Dean

Scott, Congratulations! The Commander is a great air frame and this group can help you with questions or challenges. This forum has saved me a bunch of money, frustration and pain by providing access to such an amazing wealth of knowledge and experience. Have fun! Dean

Welcome to the group! Sounds like you have a tremendous start and have a solid plan! Dean
