With all this talk about the CD, I wonder who the heck even has a cd rim drive anymore? I mean most folks that are looking at planes should have been able to afford a computer upgrade in the last decade :)

I concur! I was too nervous to land on real grass Till my first biannual and demanded we try one. My cfi said “I taught ya soft field” I said but yea on the paved- I eventually owned a Cessna 140 so was a grass strip preferer. But I couldn’t agree more, it really was a disservice, as I had in...

Yea the low wings are a bit tricky in and out. Traditional Cessna and similiar have it better for in and out. But I’ll take the momentary gymnastics for the overall comfort, stability, and far better visibility in my Mooney now given the choice… and I’m sure ours are similar in all those...

Oh that’ll be plenty fast enough! I traveled our great country in my 47 Cessna 140 at 90kts… iv since upgraded but more for seats and useful load- the speed is nice but I made it from Michigan to Idaho twice, and Florida once. It was great…

When I redid my seals I put a bright led in the accessory area and would go look through the front of cowl till I didn’t have a pinhole of light…

My Mooney is rated for a 10:1 glide ratio- gear up, prop windmilling. It’s also rated for a 12:1 glide ratio if the gear is up and prop is stopped… I had wondered the same thing myself, when I got the Mooney and seen that- they must have tested to calculate that out, so looks like there’s...

Cold… as cool as possible. We’re in Michigan n keep a window cracked all year till the AC starts running

even when it’s put flat you can’t?

My wife and I have decided it’s time for a new bed! After 3 days away my shoulder doesn’t hurt for first time in months - and we’ve just realized how worn out n too stiff it is. we snack in bed a lot watching TV when we lounge at night so we’re thinking adjustable would be cool. A little...

what is it about separate that you like over combined?

looks like I need to set up some warnings /alarms… I’ve not done much with it besides the bare bone basics of using it in flight. Sounds like the alarms are a good idea…

Yea my old Cessna 140 had oil pressure and oil temp - so that’s all I was used to. do you pay for the saavy exhaust valve alogorythm or just look it over in the free viewer?

So I'm new to this engine monitor stuff. My "new" Mooney has a JPI edm830. I recall hearing one advantage is you can sometimes "see" problems within the engine on there before anything is heard or anything actually goes sideways... So besides using it to monitor my CHTs or find EGT peak and...

I bet if it becomes economical it will be in McDonald’s chicken nuggets :)

painting with a broad brush of Americans as a whole… certainly plenty of exceptions but as a whole most Americans fit my description in some way. I eat most anything but refuse to consume artificial sweeteners as they taste horrid and I figure it’s worse for ya than sugar or even corn syrup-...

mob I don’t disagree, I refuse to drink diet pop, rather have water than that nasty crap, other processed foods I eat my fair share if but agree with you real food is better and likely better for you. I’d love to drink raw milk if it wasn’t so expensive to buy a cow share even.. I was painting...

I find it sounds Weird but my guess is if we aren’t eating farm fresh heirloom variety food and hand raised animals slaughtered locally- it’s likely no worse than all the other lab created food we drag home from Wally World. we consume tons of lab created cheese- Kraft Mac, Doritos, that...

Watching it, ya just knew the guy wasn’t an actor, that came through, just what a genuine family man and just good soul he was. CAVU to another great…

Yea just a few weeks … the buyer found me from good ol FB…

SOLD!!!!
