Transponders.. good one

I like "Mutley" .. just don't know why

Add some solvent, use magnet to isolate ferrous metal from aluminum. Have oil sample analysis

.380acp (just kidding)

I believe young healthy people are wearing masks just as a political statement. Sure some elderly folks with breathing problems need to be cautious. Here in WY we laugh at young healthy kids wearing face diapers.

Unfortunately I see this too often. Pretty paint jobs and cool avionics on a plane that seriously needs mechanical and safety maintenance. Yes pretty paint warms your groin more than new magnetos but gee wizz people

Call me old fashioned but on the glorious O-470 my preference is for a carburator. The Bendix fuel injection is simpler. That might not have changed the outcome of this incident though

Hold off for a while.. enjoy.. practice landings until you REALLY grease it in

I only ask for parts deposit

You got new jugs so just keep an eye on oil pressure. Drill baby Drill (holes in the sky)

If your theory is correct (and may be) the moving air past the static port could cause a brief incorrect reading for the sudden rush of air but doesn't justify "bounced around wildly".. you could temporarily swap out the altimeter if you have access to one

Ok thanks

First get a KNOWN GOOD mechanical gauge on a short hose, find an oil tap on the engine (probably 1/8 npt) and compare readings to the cockpit gauge. Probably you're seeing good pressure when cool, poor pressure when hot. If oil filter is not showing metal don't worry

That airframe performs better with large prop diameter as opposed to lots of pitch. That rules out the VW conversions with direct drive (small diameter, big pitch).. depending on CG go with Rotax or Cont O-200.. Rotax is lighter but you may NEED the weight up front

Food poisoning

THIS ^^^^ paints have different solvents and they don't all get along. Example: never apply lacquer or butyl dope over enamel, trust me on this

You won't hear anything else, no worries

No oxygen.. even at 12k I don't need O2 (69yr old).. bring something to pee into and no coffee before departure

For me an Arrow or Mooney began the hunt for replacing my beloved 172.. wife and me are small people so Mooney was big enough. Found a nice Arrow II that probably is my last plane.
