    It's the wife's T4R so it's stock
    it's pretty amazing. I export the data once every month to a spreadsheet so I have it in case it disappears somehow. Makes filling out 8710s an easy 5 minute thing as well as our company insurance pilot history forms. You can filter by aircraft type, months, years, etc.

    Setting it up is kind of a PITA depending on how many flights / hours you have, but you can download the spreadsheet from Foreflight and enter your data in excel and then import it into Foreflight via their web portal.

    I haven't updated my paper logbook since after my last rating (about a year and 200 hours ago) so when I go for commercial I'll update the paper logbook before training.

    Yeah, I heard it does kinda suck. Ill be shy of 500 hours total, 280ish in helicopters and about 185 in airplanes. Once I make the switch it should make everything easier.

    I don’t use any official digital logbook. I only have my paper logbook and a digital copy in an Excel Google Doc

    All Pitts are a blast. Best bang for the buck on the market. $30k will get you a bargain of a S1S. The flight school I instructed had that one and I was fortunate to instruct in it for a while.

    LoL might as well be 30 Brazzillion. Plus the fact that I couldn't pass a med exam even if the doc said don't jump when I say BOO!.
    I would still pay good money to someone to take me up in a Pitts. Let me have the stick till I make myself puke or the real pilot thinks we are going to die.
    Any takers? :)

    Search IAC dot org for a chapter or aerobatic school near you and then inquire about a ride. When I used to give rides it was around $200 for a 20-25 minute ride. More than enough time for loops, rolls, hammerheads, spins, immelmans, a half-cubans or two and an inverted selfie.
