This will be a cool addition to the Mooney Seaplane

Dear Mooney Enthusiast, The weather for our last event was windy with rain showers around and only 4 Mooneys brought 5 people to lunch at Fort Pierce. But, we had a good time visiting and eating. Our next event will be this Saturday, January 11 at the Flight Line Cafe at Winter Haven (KGIF) at 11:30. As of today on Foreflight their self serve price for 100LL is $4.43. All events start at 11:30. Future events: January 11, Winter Haven, GIF. February 8, Sebring, SEF March 8, Bartow, BOW Please let me know by Thursday if you are going to try to come so I can give the restaurant an approximate headcount. If you tell me you are coming, and can’t come do not worry about telling me, just do not come. I do not want anyone flying for any reason if they shouldn’t. I have been putting on Mooney Lunch for 20 years, starting in January of 2004. My situation is changing and I am thinking of giving it up after the April or May meetings. If anyone would like to take it over, please call me. If I pass it on to someone else, you will be given the option to have your name and address removed from the mailing list before I make the transfer of information. Hope to see you soon, Dave and Ruth N46DT 352-408-3343

Chuck says he knows you and will go from there, thanks Ken

It’s Chuck’s dm me your contact info and I’ll call him this is Mikey’s plane 31-0001

Happy new year Dan, Fran!

Since a sight gauge is not primary, I doubt there is any rule on any precision of its reading , Correct me if wrong again

To be legal, it must point to empty when tank is empty. No restrictions on where it points to in other fill states

Yup my bad!! Thanks lance, sux to get old

Mooney Pro instructor @Danb is in the hood

Engine on sump heater, maybe 5F outside, proper oil temp on takeoff, oil by pass opened up and oil temp registered 260, turned immediately back and before I could land it settled down, but I scrubbed until I could block off oil cooler some IO360, F model with Ari cowl closure

This^

The oil will coagulate at those temps and not flow. Ask me how I know.

Merry Christmas!

@Dmax does

I had a fluctuating fuel pressure that dropped with the lowering of DA. New mechanical pump was the fix, probably pinhole in the diaphragm. IO360 like yours

Have them do an inspection and repair as necessary, not an OH thank me later

Dear Mooney Enthusiast, We had 4 Mooneys and 1 Bonanza bring 8 people to lunch last month at Williston. There was fog and low clouds around early in the morning, but it was good VFR after lunch. Our next event will be this Saturday, December 14 at the Tiki restaurant on the Fort Pierce Airport (KFPR). As of today on AIR NAV their self serv price for 100LL is $5.49. All events start at 11:30. Future events: December 14, Fort Pierce, FPR January 11, Winter Haven, GIF. February 8, Sebring, SEF Please let me know by Thursday if you are going to try to come so I can give the restaurant an approximate headcount. If you tell me you are coming, and can’t come do not worry about telling me, just do not come. I do not want anyone flying for any reason if they shouldn’t. We might have a new member wanting a ride from the Clearwater area. If you are coming from that area and would like a passenger, let me know. Hope to see you soon, Dave and Ruth N46DT 352-408-3343

Congrats Ray

Great write up Ed. Thanks. I have seen the g1000 error occasionally and *believe* it is caused by excessive resistance in the connection of the unit to the radio rack. Those itty bitty connector pins can easily be bent so care should be heeded when cleaning. I have heard a few shops cure the alt noise with a capacitor or replacing ignition leads im surprised Clarence if he was the Canadian maintainer, missed the heat shield contacting the mount issue. He is anal about details like that

Acclaims are a drug...hard to break that habit

Nice Steve!

The Mooney Summit's Bill Gilliland foundation will reach out to Anna Kang and offer our crisis intervention assistance. We have all the info we need now to move forward. RIP Kim

The Mooney Summit's Bill Gilliland foundation will reach out to Anna Kang RIP Kim, you were doing the work of angels

believe its 14.9 for the non-turbos, and 13.7 for the turbos. I stand corrected…. That’s what I meant to say thanks for fixing!

If anyone has contact info for Suek Kim’s widow, please let me know. https://everloved.com/life-of/seuk-kim/obituary/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2oIQTAJxvM7qF_YJ8Nyg3tUKDSwaZOm--BDWjWfFOyopEvosHuGc3EEMY_aem_eJYllDMeEhurRNbkMFbKzg thanks, Mike
