Don uses a shop in Denton, aircraft carb and Fuel injection repair I believe. It will be totally rebuilt to new specs. Yea, it's usually a .25 o ring, but $1500 later, you'll be good to go Important note, Conti FI pumps should be OH accd to the Continental schedule , this is often overlooked. I think they suggest 1k hrs

Dan, in July and Aug, it gets 92 or so here darned near every day but very rarely any hotter. Fortunately where my home is, the Gulf acts as a swamp cooler so its not too bad, but a few miles inland, the humidity is a beast. When I was a hoosier, it would get above 92 quite often. All that said, if you dont like hot weather, stay away. Do you part, eat bugs yada yada... I dont know how the guys in TX stand the heat, but then again, I dont know how the guys in Minot stand the cold. In fact, I dont know much at all when it comes right down to it. Surprized the door seal stuck, especially with some Dow 9 dressing on it (fletch is also good to do). Once it snows here, how about you and Fran pay alice and I a visit, Hard rock is not far....

Dont confuse yourself into messing up a great setting. Lance explains how to find out how far LOP you are, simply do the big pull on the engine page with the Lean button engaged. Knowing your approx fuel flow target helps some, and your engine will start to B!tch if you get carried away with the red money knob. Sounds like the new cylinders are just fine. Those temps will assure lead scavaging, and the 1600 ish TIT will keep the exhaust from liquifying on you. Next time we get together, I want you to teach me all about LOP. Enjoy that beautiful plane and take Fran someplace lucky

Those are not the "monster" retreads that have been known to catch in the well are they? Smart move to have a swing test done. Jake at Daytona can do this in short order for you

Mimi, check your FAAsafety.gov account. I see where this credit has been issued to you on 9/18//22 along with all the other attendee's who checked in and registered with a wings email address. You have recieved the following credist Basic WINGS 1 Credit for Basic Knowledge Topic 1 1 Credit for Basic Knowledge Topic 3 1 Credit for Basic Knowledge Topic 3 Advanced WINGS 2 Credits for Advanced Knowledge Topic 2 Master WINGS 2 Credits for Master Knowledge Topic 2

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. @DanM20CDan is something you have a handle on, or want me to mess with it and ultimately call in big Rick? EDIT: Regfox simply gives us a button to check and why specific instructions are to check both buttons if you are bringing your spouse. That said, I also see it will be easy to add her. @DanM20C let me know if you want me to undertake this.

Last year everyone ride shared and it worked well. Atlas Aviation doesnt have a herd of crew cars. Most of the hotels have a shuttle service to KTPA which is where the conference will be held. Fortunately, pilots are well versed on how to get around once they land from all the practice they get when they fly their planes. There were a few of the local EAA guys show up and they offered to take some to their hotels.

Ill Answer for Dan, as he is probably up to his ears in Oshkosh stuff riight now. Your paid registration includes your wife, as you will be able to list her when you register. Registration fees are to offset direct event costs like Sat night meal, reception, tables and chairs, presenter rooms, etc. We look forward to seeing you both!

I have done the southern route a number of times, and find out west no lower than 12K. The plane is happier at 10K but routes suggest higher. Your well aware to avoid the NM West TX afternoon flights in the summer unless you like having your A$$ handed to you with turbolence. VFR gives you more leeway on alt and routing, IFR is safer if any issues develope. Just ask Mike Patey....(good job Mike)

Hank, I had no issue registering and submitting my credit card payment. @DanM20C (whos probably at OSH) Ill monitor registration activity if you like and let you if I think we have an issue. @Hank if you resubmit and it double charges, of course we will make it right and we will be able to see it via the registration log.

On the G1000 and NXI it makes practicing things like the Overhead 360, precision landings etc almost too easy. A very nice addition. On the Aspen, I didnt find it to be that valuable but sure do on the Garmin stuff.

There is about a 5-7 kt give up for tks in the ovations at 10k 100 ROP vs non tks from what I have observed. If this is the plane Clarence has been maintaining, I'm sure it is in rig, otherwise, you might have your prebuy shop put the travel boards on it and make sure it's in rig

@Danb, here is your cue!

For me, its not a matter of insisting on approach flaps, it is a matter of developing in a new instrument student good habits, and proper configuration for the phase of flight. As one moves up to bigger equipment, this becomes more and more critical with less wiggle room, so we try to start new IR clients off with structure and regimentation here.

my recommendation wouild be approach (TO) flaps at glide slope intercept along with gear down. With correct PAC setting, this shouldnt require much if any retrim for a 3 Deg 600'/min decent. Full flaps after you break out and will land. YMMV, but this works well in Mooneys,

My guess would be they would assess a high value and let it fall on you to prove otherwise with reciepts of actual sale price if you contest. Suprised me that they came in lower than @TNIndy actually paid. Wonder if that tax assessor still has a job

Sales tax departments make it cheaper to be honest than to try and wiggle thru a crack in their baffonery. To me, the real issue isnt the amount of sales tax, it is how it is wasted.

have you verified the integrity of the airspeed switch?

One more thing, Dan, after using your tks, keep a garden sprayer with water in your hangar to really clean off the rear tail and areas the fluid could blow into. Maxwell showed me some corrosion back there caused by tks not being cleaned off

Dan, might I suggest when flying thru a wet cloud, do an ops check. This will help clean the glycol off. To keep the system healthy, check it monthly. Use only tks fluid or 100 LL to clean the bugs etc off the titanium weeping surface.

have you tried to quiet it down with some pecussive maintanence?

wonder how much an FBO could charge to have a 3 man crew do a flight controls check after every engine start for an owner? While a good idea, I doubt many Mooney's would be in the queue for this service. Works well when you have a whole army of techs on staff tho.

you mean like this?
