You can fly into Lee Vining (O24) and take the bus in. It's not a long walk over to the bus stop, same bus comes from Mammoth. No services at the airport but it's in great shape.

Just for kicks lets start a list. I think it is a really clean plane and could fly tomorrow with a new battery and an oil change after a run up. Not that I recommend that! As far as fair price the risk is with the buyer so it should be a deal. I think the past aviator at 96 would be delighted to see the new future aviator at 24 take this plane instead of a broker or parts guy. I don't know any of these prices but a guess would be. IRAN the engine $15K Prop OH $2K gyro rebuild $2K battery $500 replace all rubber $4000 Additional unexpected expense $10K

You can put Plates on the slit screen just not synthetic vision. I put a screen shot of the split screen option for you.

I like the way the Bo handles as well but for me it's not an option. Being 6'4" and having the seat on top of the spar it puts my head into the ceiling. My kids are growing fast enough that I'm keeping my eyes open for the next plane. As you mentioned the fuel penalty is the killer in a Bo. My kids will be physically big to so between family physical size and fuel the Bo will not be the option. I think my next plane will have to be one of the not so sexy 210's.

Assuming your not needing to take more passengers. Just install A/C, it make it so much more comfortable! The 30K for installation will be less than a transition cost of another plane. The Bonanza is not going to give the wife any more room unless she sits in the back. If she's willing to sit in the back than just pull out the co-pilot seat in the Mooney, on the Mooney website they used to have it shown as the executive seating.

Per Rich's recommendation I ended up going to Hayward and used APP jet center and all is good. APP is friendly and prices are very reasonable. Unfortunately I'm sitting in the room with my son because of an ear ache from the plane flight. This is a first for us and I'm disappointed I failed to recognize his congestion before we took off. He was really hurting but he is sleeping now, the girls are walking around and I'm on the internet. I was at least able to walk on the pier with the kids, get a couple of IPA's and have some oysters. Weather couldn't be nicer! I'm sure we will be back in action shortly!

I have been flying in extreme heat for years and used to burn up cylinders all the time in a C182 that I had with an IO-550 STC. Learning how to keep cylinders cool has become kinda a hobby and has saved me lots of money. I have yet to replace a boost pump from wear but I'm sure it's a possility. I have replaced several cylinders in the past from heat. A good engine monitor will tell you otherwise about a boost pump not enrichening the mixture. The data below show 3 step downs in fuel pressure on my climb from below sea level to 8500' with never leveling off. The first step if from simply turning off the boost pump when my EGT's are cool enough. The mixture is still firewalled at this point. The second step is starting to lean the mixture. This day it was only 106 degrees out.

I'll add brush and floss daily and a professional cleaning twice a year!

Which FBO do you like APP Jet Center or Meridian Hayward?

I was able to pull up a flight when I took off on a 118 degree that day. My CHT redline I have on my Savvy analysis is set a 380 for reference. I climb from -40 MSL to 8500' MSL. You can see where I turned off the boost pump twice. I thought my mechanical pump when out but was fine after I leveled off and the air temp cooled.

It looks like there is a BART station 5 miles from Hayward. So a short Uber ride is an option.

I have my 2 kids and girlfriend with me and the fact the KOAK has a BART station right there was appealing for the Friday traffic. we are staying in the financial district with a station right there.

I'm flying up to Oakland, CA KOAK this weekend from San Diego KMYF. Flying up on an IFR flight plan but not expecting any weather. Leaving I haven't determined if it will be VFR or IFR but find Departing is usually quicker and more efficient VFR around the big boys. Any heads up on runways, procedures, FBO's would be appreciated. Thanks, Karson

Boost fuel pressure and FF. In the R models you have the benefit of the extra fuel being recirculated back to the tanks. This helps keep the fuel cool and prevent it from vaporizing. To add to my original post your sea level take off FF should be around 29.6 gph to also maintain proper cooling.

I have been taking off the last 5 weeks in 105+ temps. The hottest day was 117! Fuel boost pump on to keep the EGT's and CHT's under control. When my hottest EGT get down to 1225 I turn off the fuel pump. Climb at 140 KIAS. This will keep the CHT's under 400 on the hottest day.

It all the same just a different price. The Harley people have the same concerns. Plexiglass, bugs and nice paint jobs. This guy did a nice post on the chemical ingredients and function. http://www.hdtalking.com/threads/chemical-analysis-of-pledge-furniture-polish.13248/

Plexus and Lemon Pledge sure seem similar with exception of price.

Your density altitude was giving you more benifit from the turbo than usual. 10.5 isn't the most beneficial altitude for a turbo but with today's rediculous heat your plane thought it was flying higher. Plus with the thermals you where probably getting some help. I took off for imperial valley airport today a 4pm and it was 115 on the ground. At -50 msl airport the DA was 4400'. Today was one day I would have appreciate a turbo:)

I have the Stec 55x in my Eagle and it oscillated as well. I had it looked at a while back and the pitch servo cable had very little tension. Tightening it had helped but a lot but it still oscillates a little. When the plane is loaded light it seems to be worse than when loaded heavy with the weight in the back. I always attributed this to the long bodies being nose heavy. The same thing happens when I hand fly it.

The answer is yes but your POH say you need to reduce the manifold pressure. It doesn't look like it can maintain enough pressure for full power.

I can't find any reference for the fuel pump automatically turning on for the R or S models only the M. I thought I might not have this since my plane is an S with the Sreaming Eagle conversion but looking at POH's and un cowled planes of both model I haven't been able to see how that happens. I know when its hot out I turn it on for take offs to keep the fuel from vaporizing.

When I had my J it was the same as your Bravo so I'm sure is consistent with Lycoming engines.

I just looked at the M vs R POH. In the R we have a return line from the mechanical pump for the excess full to return to the tanks. In the M that does not exist. You have 1 boost pump setting and we have 2 hi/low. Since you don't have the return line I would bet if you have excess fuel pressure the fuel goes overboard.

In my plane you have a low and a high boost pump, I'm not sure about the Bravo. Low is for partial mechanical pump failure high is for complete mechanical pump failure. If your mechanical pump fails but is still producing a little fuel and you hit high boost you will flood the engine. The idea is to give the engine what it needs. First start with low boost and if that's not enough go with high. I'm sure with high boost on you will loose fuel overboard through the failed mechanical pump. In general in my plane with excess fuel pressure the excess fuel is returned to the tanks.
