Vaq, nice GX. How do you like the G1000?
At first I'll admit I thought it was complete overkill for a VFR ship, but having used it I am somewhat of a convert. It is easy to use - if you can use any Garmin product you can figure this out.

This aircraft has a two axis autopilot, so someone had to have their feet on the pedals at all times. It makes a ferry flight very much more relaxed. We were heavy on this trip and could easily have made Vne, but decided on a more leisurely pace.
