    Saratoga or Mooney or CirrusSR22 or Cessna400

    I’m interested in opinions too. I’m in the same boat but swap the 400 for an A36. I don’t need 6 sheets but the space..... that’s the kicker for me. Don’t let Mooney’s history play too far into it for you, there are parts available and the factory is still shipping parts. Of the planes you...

    KTEX Bonanza 10-6-2020

    They did depart east, and had done so earlier in the day as well. United pilot as well. Other sites describe him as an excellent pilot, yet this seems so preventable.

    Taxi instructions

    KJVL was my first cross country from KDPA. I remember studying the diagram beforehand and still got confused on my departure taxi instructions. In fact, I was leaving Bessies and was on the side of the terminal facing the Jet Center. I keyed up to ask about entering Bravo to Alpha and my CFI...

    Thinking about a riding mower

    Here’s another, little smaller deck but an X304 for a lot less. https://www.tractorhouse.com/listings/farm-equipment/for-sale/194263189/2006-john-deere-x304 I bought an 06 X324 in 2010 for $2500 with 600 hours or so. The deal with these tractors that were sold at Deere dealers is that they...

    Thinking about a riding mower

    Keep in mind the size of lot the OP has. That’s why I recommended the X300 series Deere’s. Not too big, can be found 10-15 years old at this point for reasonably cheap, and it’s built stout enough that you can actually get parts for it and fix it and keep using it vs just putting it at the curb...

    Thinking about a riding mower

    Mimicking what Sinistar said, an all wheel steering JD is going to be the bees knees for you. You don’t even need the 500 series. Find yourself a 2006-2012 X304 or 324 (the 4 indicates all wheel steering). Spend less than a grand. Grease label spindles, it’s the entry level JD dealer machine...

    FedEx Feeders

    They deliver to Illinois. I live right under the approach to ORD. The drivers fly up my driveway at what seem like VR for a 767. I’ve actually seen their trucks rotate when they crest the hill at the top.

    Landing at private airstrips

    I saw that on Skyvector a while back. That’s a test field for Boeing. Pretty cool to find, former Air Force base, housing sold to some residents but it’s mostly a ghost town. Don’t know if I’d want to try landing there either.

    David Clark One-X

    Ground pounder, do you use the Pro in the 605 because the ANR doesn’t work suitably in the Bo?

    affordable hangar for a project plane

    Just make sure you use some of those bonding strips to secure it to your work surface. That will avoid a recreation of the KSBP hangar incident should you sneeze while working on the plane.

    Why you need a good carbon monoxide detector

    If you do a search on Mooneyspace, Dan is an advocate for Sensorcon. He has given out a discount code for anyone to use. It’s 20% off. His story is truly amazing. I’ve lost a close family member to CO poisoning and I know of several others too. It’s a seriously deadly problem.

    Zulu time on Apple Watch

    What????? I learn something new. So why when I look at London time, I see it matches GMT? It’s just the same part of the year?

    Zulu time on Apple Watch

    As others have said, you can add the world clock as a complication, and select London time as that’s “close” UTC. Then change the LON symbol to UTC in the world clock. It works for me save for those really odd partial zones. I also remember seeing something about a Meridian face for the...

    Thinking about a Military 5-ton Truck

    Ted, as a fellow car guy with an addiction to the odd, you need to log off POA for a couple days, go read all of the Steel Soldiers forum. Be prepared, there can be some unusual cats on there, but if you want a former .mil vehicle up to and including a tank, that is your big resource. You will...

    Bought my wife a Jaguar XKR - Thinking Involved

    The inner door panel removal is likely going to happen but diag first at this point. Nothing is visible inside without full disassembly(Think old Mooney panel). You have to take the outer handle off to do that anyways and the regulator and latch are all mounted to an aluminum panel that unbolts...

    Bought my wife a Jaguar XKR - Thinking Involved

    You need to identify if it’s the outer handle broken or the latch assembly inside the door. If the handle is still attached, you likely need to go into the door (not horrible to do, just finesse is needed). The outer handle is removed by taking out the triangle escutcheon our first, remove the...

    Bought my wife a Jaguar XKR - Thinking Involved

    Yeah, I bought a 210 E55 back when they were still hot(like 2003) and put 175k on it, basically trouble free. Traded it for a GL550 for the wife when her C55 was too small for two kids in rear facing seats, and I kept driving the C until it had 202k on it. Then I got an F150 and she got a GL63...

    Bought my wife a Jaguar XKR - Thinking Involved

    I spent over 10 years as a Merc tech, with a specialization in the turbo 12s and AMGs. The W211 E55 is an incredibly fun car but it came at an age where MB was in bed with Chrysler and that was not a good thing for the cost cutting in the engineering and manufacturing. I used to spend weeks or...
