    Welcome cruiserflyer, I bounce back and forth between Quakertown and Virginia, I'll let you know when I have my plane in Quakertown and we can go fly and talk Navy. Brian

    It was painted at strategic global in Rome NY.

    Was inspired by yours

    Took her up today, beautiful day to go flying and she flew great.

    Well here are some photos of the paint process and a peek as we finish putting everything back together.

    I miss coming out there, maybe Bob will get his legacy race ready soon. tell Pete he should qualify in second then finish the rest in first, not the other way around! Brian

    I'm not flying into the hurricanes with NOAA, but I am flying the same type of plane. they were short flight engineers so one of the guys I work with headed down to fly with them for a few weeks, I may get the opportunity in the future. Brian

    This plane use to belong to one of our MSers. Looks like it was sold earlier this year. Brian

    Columbia was a Lancair design not Cessna

    I do have the proper degaussing tool if needed, I thought I said that early on but I may have only thought about it and never sent that out. @DXB, don't attempt to electrocute your self next time I'll meet you at UKT. Brian

    I have a degaussing tool, I have used it on several mooney's including mine when I first got it. it does seem to make a difference on the wet compass but I'm not sure how often it needs to be done. I installed the SIRS compass in my Mooney and haven't had to degauss mine since, not sure if its because I changed out most of my old avionics or the SIRS is less affected. Brian

    Actually the D did not have a Johnson bar, at least not till the owners converted most of them to retractable gear.

    Beautiful plane.

    Because the logs that are missing are the current logs the price will take a bigger hit. I would be concerned with damage history that is being hidden. Make sure you have a thorough prebuy from a reputable Mooney expert. Can we ask what you are looking at? Brian

    I have the same system he currently has, it’s great in the spring and fall. But in summer it doesn’t cool enough and in winter it cools too much!!

    Engine probably started off the right mag when you released the switch. At that point the prop was still spinning and the right mag could fire allowing the engine to start. Check your P lead to ground, it should be grounded in the off position but open in both. Brian

    Yes, the wheel should spin at least one full revolution, but shouldn’t be loose. I usually see 2-3 revolutions. The key is not to over tighten it. Sounds like the second grove is too tight. Brian

    I've got a GTX 327 but not a 330. Brian

    Talk to Pankey, you should have her number. If not, pm me Brian

    It impacted mine.... of course that's because I couldn't move 10 feet with out needing a nap while I had it.
  24. orionflt
    Because it affects our flying! Not just our ability to fly but it can also affect where we can go and how long we can stay. besides that we are a community and as a community we should be concerned and supportive of those in our community. But this is just my personal opinion, and we all know the saying about opinions!

    That tends to happen when you tighten the bolts the wrong way.
