I am going to tacoma wa. Jan 20 thru 25 and was wondering if anyone knew of a place fairly close by that rents light sport aircraft?? I would like to take the girlfriend for a flight while there. Thanks in advance! John

when you zoom in or out with foreflight, it takes a second or two to redraw your map. With wingx it keeps your map up and loses nothing. Not a real big deal I guess but I like my screen to always be seen.

I don't know what speed you are climbing out at but should be about 60. As stated previously you may need to climb out a bit shallower but 60 should put you at the right climb for that bird.

I have liability only from avemco for 600 a year.
