I have the Integra and am very happy with it.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 05:06:03 +0000The last G3X Touch certified update was v9.18 released with SB 27074 Rev A Oct. 18 2024.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 04:12:39 +0000You could also have an update file/folder sitting in a card in the upper MFD slot. Ie your logging cardSat, 18 Apr 2026 04:11:14 +0000I set 2500 rpm in cruise at similar altitudes as you. I’m looking for smooth cool air, and a tail wind. They are not always at 9-10,000’, sometimes they are at lower altitudes. I aim for 380*F max in CHTs, closed (with an inch gap) cowl flaps, WOT and adjust fuel flow as outside air temp allows, but usually 9.3-11 gph and this all yields 153-158 knots true airspeed. 6 years now in my 1980 J, very pleased with the performance and fuel efficiency.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 03:50:59 +0000Sat, 18 Apr 2026 03:48:03 +0000I used AviationOxygen.com. AKA "The oxygen lady". Phoebe is not the cheapest but not the most expensive. I got a nice turn key solution with a new cylinder attached to an overhauled regulator that I was able to simply able to bolt in to the mounts and hook up.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 03:11:17 +0000Look for a new shopSat, 18 Apr 2026 02:54:19 +0000I post this as an aid for people with this make and model of ELT. It can be a real PIA to maintain but it has a three nice features. The first is long battery life, 6 years. The second is built in GPS which is superior. While many ELTs can be hooked to your panel avionics, if those fail due to electrical failure or fire, the Kannad unit will broadcast GPS position where it is at all times after activation. The third is if you are replacing an old ELT with RJ11 jacks connecting the ELT to the panel, Kannad makes a nice kit that interfaces the RJ11 wiring with a small panel switch to make installation almost plug and play. The negative, hard to get service. Kannad has got better and they sell the battery through Aircraft Spruce. I obtained the battery from Spruce and took it to a nearby authorized service center, Avgroup which has a facility in Norcross, GA. For 390 dollars the unit was throughly cleaned, and checked within a test chamber for 406mhz data integrity and signal integrity. It came back with an 8130 and all the test chamber results documented. It's not a big deal, some people just open it up and replace the battery and use the BITE check but I think it is a good idea every once in a while to give it a thorough check out in a test chamber.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 02:49:30 +0000Aspen evolution and if I'm not mistaken Garmin 430 manuals call out specifically you doSat, 18 Apr 2026 02:38:59 +0000Gee, I'll bet they don't have any of those units around DCSat, 18 Apr 2026 02:26:32 +0000Sat, 18 Apr 2026 02:03:29 +0000Not Always a Traditional Compass: A traditional "whiskey" compass is not required, provided a certified electronic "magnetic direction indicator" (like a Garmin G5) is installed. So, probably not… DonSat, 18 Apr 2026 01:48:29 +0000If you have a G3X with the GMU11 magnetometer for heading, do we still technically need the compass? 91.205 says we need a magnetic direction indicator, not necessarily a magnetic compass, right?Sat, 18 Apr 2026 01:42:43 +0000Thanks, will do that.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 01:16:28 +0000Frank Crawford added a comment to the pdf file that the alternate part number is 514T53 superseding the Dukes AF0100-EO. This looks to be a manufacturer's part number, not a Mooney part number. I might contact Frank and see if he can tell you who makes the seal.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 00:52:37 +0000For months now I’ve been getting this on my G1000 MFD start up , I’ve been clicking ‘No’ to maintain the current most recent Database. and it has not been any problem from a functional standpoint. This occurs only on the MFD. And it still occurs on the MFD even if I switch SD cards from PFD to MFD. I’ve ignored it for awhile because it’s not a functional issue, but It’s starting to get a little annoying. Any Ideas on cause or correction? Thanks in advance RogerSat, 18 Apr 2026 00:51:40 +0000The military has ISR platforms that can identify and geolocate the offending aircraft in literally seconds. And likely map the voice signature so when they hear that voice again, they’ll make the connection that it’s the same person.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 00:04:19 +0000Can you send me your email and I’ll send you a video? alanFri, 17 Apr 2026 23:51:48 +0000Bottom of intercooler has a condensate drain line kinda like an air conditionerFri, 17 Apr 2026 23:19:49 +0000https://mooney.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/SIM20-112A.pdfFri, 17 Apr 2026 22:35:14 +0000Howdy, just want to have everything available in the event the gear fails the inspection or the seal is torn for whatever reason..., I have everything other than those 2 items..if I have everything on hand and there's no issues well then...there's no issue...BUT if I don't have what's needed, if there's an issue...then the aircraft is AOG until I get the parts....worse case, I take those 2 parts to a bearing shop and let them match them up...I think Don gets the laminated shim from McMaster-Carr, so really just needing to source the seal at this point..Fri, 17 Apr 2026 22:32:13 +0000I've read some on the forum that some owner had problems with the original drain -53S and used -72 instead. Maybe -72 traps water, but the Aux fuel line is ~0.5" above lowest point anyway. Also if removing the drain, there is little fuel left in aux tank when drained. Maybe better to buy new drains instead of just changing the o-ring.Fri, 17 Apr 2026 22:08:32 +0000The seal would only leak if the transmission is over greased. Even then over greasing will put grease on the rubber drive coupling. Wipe up the mess and grease less. ClarenceFri, 17 Apr 2026 22:04:08 +0000To be mandatory, it would have to be called out in Chapter 4 of the Ovation maintenance manual. ClarenceFri, 17 Apr 2026 22:00:12 +0000The level of craftsmanship here always amazes me. ClarenceFri, 17 Apr 2026 21:53:00 +0000
