William, welcome aboard. I suspect Judi might chime in here, but you can reach her through Suncoast Aviation. 219.850.4083.

When I bought 94J in 2017, a turbo was a "must have" for me, due to living at 5,200 feet & there are alot of high DA days. Over the years, I've come to recognize how superb the Hot Shot system is. This past weekend I took 94J up for a "familiarization flight," much of which was to get used to...

Clayton, welcome aboard! Carl Lee holds the STC for adding a turbo normalizer, turning a 114 into a 114 Hot Shot. You'll find lots of info on the forum about the "Hot Shot" with a search. Carl posted back in March 2021 that no 114HS kits were available then - maybe he can be swayed.....

Ken, this is a most generous offer, very kind of you & sounds like a grand time. Not committing yet, but ...... is this your place?

EarthX Lithium btty I am going to need a new battery pretty soon to replace my aging Gill-35 in my 112a. I can’t get over the addition of 22 pounds useful load should I change to one of the Earth-X lithium batteries for which RCM Normalizing handles. So I haven’t heard much. Has someone got...

Dennis, glad you've decided to jump in with a discussion. I have no time in a Sierra so can't speak to that one. My journey started in a Cessna 150 in 1977. Through my PPL I spent most of my time in the 150, a 'then-new" 152, and the 172. My introduction to complex was a T-tail Arrow the...

Scott & Gabi, welcome to the COG. I know you will enjoy your Hot Shot.

Dave, what is it you're looking to do and see? Phoenix to the Grand Canyon should be about 1.5 hours for you; Sedona's nearly under the path. My wife and I spent a 3-day weekend in Sedona a few years back, plenty to do in that area. The airport cafe has excellent food, the scenery is great...

Welcome to the joys of being a Commander owner! You will find lots of help here; I know I have.

Kurt, I can't strongly enough endorse in written words what Dean has said! In 3 years of owning my 112, I've not had any problem obtaining any part needed. I do owe a debt of gratitude to other members of this Forum in providing invaluable assistance in that regard, tho! Can't help with your 3rd...

Dave, I can send you my ForeFlight W&B profile via e-mail. Might help a bunch. Let me know.

Alex, good to hear from you. Best way to proceed is for me to send you a dropbox link. Shoot me your e-mail and I'll do that.

Judi - thanks for saying so. Jay, I appreciate your vote of confidence! However, I'm far from an expert about flight planning over the Grand Canyon. This was my first venture there! All I learned & IMHO the minimum of what one needs to know to plan a flight can be ascertained from the Grand...

Despite the current quarantine, our youngest daughter & her husband, who live in Illinois, are in Albuquerque for a visit. Took the two of them on a scenic tour in 94J yesterday. We left home base in Albuquerque at 0730 & had a smooth as glass flight to Page, AZ, getting there at 0900 local. On...

Dean, if I'm not mistaken Keith Baker (bconst) is at Leavenworth, KS, which is about 35 miles driving distant from Lawrence.

Looks like the Commander is N4594W; photo is a view of N424TB's panel, from Controller.com.

Filled up 94J at an airport 15 minutes from home base this past Saturday - $4.00 per gallon & that's the best price available within a reasonable distance. Local unleaded mogas is running $1.19, mid-grade is at $1.54.

Still $5.19 at homebase KAEG. But I did put $1.65 mid-grade in my car today!
