yea we seen similar efficiencies to the 140 at almost any speed as long as it was leaned… I guess the point may be if I’m joining other friends with slower planes to not arrive too far ahead of them- well at least after a few times of kicking their butt! Lol I tell em it’s my turn to grade...

GOOD NEWS looks like it was the gauge itself- we swapped a spare one my IA had and reading was at steady. Going flying in the morning to confirm it stays that way….

You are correct.

yes once we noticed it it stayed like that- regardless of power setting, No maintenance directly of vacuum system but did just come out of annual- first flight out.

On my 2nd training flight we noticed this and headed home to get it checked out. Mooney M20F. The vacuum gauge needle was rocking back and forth rapidly- I couldn't post the video but you can see it in the screen shot… Any ideas? I’m going to have my mechanic take a look but I appreciate the...

I’m in the same boat, no pun intended. I just bought a wonderful Mooney M20f, but my bank account too says my Cessna 140 has to go… I put a handshake agreement together on it this week, I don’t look forward to seeing it fly off… Hoping buyer wants me to deliver it so we get one last mission...

Solo? Sure :)

I know… but at least for trips it calculates out to very similar burn. In no wind the 140 gets about 20mpg and the Mooney calculates out to 18mpg… During my first time out in it we flew around at 6gph for quite a while. Would work for a short burger run w the boys… so I don’t totally...

Kinda, it was a poorly produced production- certain minute details given long spanses of unnecessary time, a few plot points repeated, lengthy preaching, and just over the top portions that were not related to the real story at all. one point his daughter in back accidentally ate a peanut...

Im a little shocked they didn’t have that already cheesy country song modified to fit flying…

exactly… I get some “artistic license” but it was taken too far n ruined a good story

We watched “on a wing and a prayer” on prime last night. About the king air who’s pilot died and passenger w some raining was in co pilots seat and landed it successfully. It was way overdone and drawn out. Could have been great but was a big disappointment too, and way too full of religious...

well there ya go talking all common sensical and all :)

I know I’m gunna miss her… I just barely use it as any chance I get I need to have more than one other with me…

yea I am starting to think the same thing, I had toyed with the idea as the concept is great- but man I’m thinking the devil I know is likely a better bet than the devil I don’t at this point. My interest level has wained…

Crazy we’re talking about the good ol days of the internet! Man how time flies!!!

logs complete back to its test flight in ‘47. yes it has a stratus esg transponder for out and the attached 3i for in- I love the setup. TT is around 5245...

Selling by beloved 140 as I’ve now procured a Mooney m20f… 975 smoh (still flying will change) Bas tail pull, sky tech starter, hooker harnesses, vortex generators, alternator, nice paint, good fabric, beautiful interior. She’s been great and never let me down. $45,000 obo
