Best way to get a Mooney from CA to HI?
ArtVandelay replied to Douglas911's topic in General Mooney Talk
Not familiar with C, but 2200 would be double the J's range and you would have to load it up with fuel to it's max weight, with favorable winds sounds doable -
I had a new tray installed as well
-
Me too, I found for the it to sync up you have to be system->Bluetooth status page. There is no doc that comes with the 210.

Things I see a lot when I get in a new Mooney customer
ArtVandelay replied to mooneybuilder's topic in General Mooney Talk
My MSC replaced all fluid hoses and brake hoses,my they said they were unserviceable -
2. I saw on another forum that A/S switch is no longer required, YMMV 3. Not true, I got the KT74 in part to be the digital encoder source

New to flying, would a Mooney fit my mission?

Go to skyvector.com, select low IFR charts -
But I didn't think G1000 systems came with TCAS, just the TIS-A
-
but isn't the active traffic TIS-A, from the mode S transponder, which is not nearly as good as TIS-B

I'm no Phd but, here goes: Liquid water has a unique property, surface tension due to the molecular bond. I don't think ice has that property so it wouldn't work. I think it's the surface tension that causes the water to ride on top of the surface grooves, thus much less friction.
-
Cool stuff, I wonder what affect the micro laser etching would have on friction of the air passing over the surface

One hand on the prop close to spinner, one hand on tow bar, I figured the prop is designed to handle forces on it, the cowling isn't

You can add tint to cars windows, can you do the same for planes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Depends, on a plane with green paint I think it would look nice
-
Sure, but for same money you could have a J with full panel, let's see 152 basic panel vs 201 full IFR panel, I know which one I would pick.
-
Hmmm, I believe the switch was required by the STC, no first hand knowledge, just what I read, what firmware level is your BK at?
-
If you don't fly into class Bs, isn't your chance of getting a STAR,SID close to zero?
-
Garmin also doesn't require an airspeed switch to figure if it is on the ground
-
+1 I like their flight charts better then the government charts. I don't like the trip function at all. They have syncing problems, you can't delete the active trip, you can't invert a trip, must activate the flightplan, then invert it, and it would be nice of it to have a smart trip planner: you give to & from airports and it figures out best route and altitude based on forecasted winds and previously ATC routes

Wow that's quick, mine is on its 3rd week for same work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Try resetting the alt field CB Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

30 hours to install?! What is so labor intensive? Conceptually it seems like it should not take that long, open the access panel, insert bladder, make some connections for fuel sensor, vent, fuel line, and that's it, what am I missing?

That game is boring [emoji1]

New to Mooney looking to buy
ArtVandelay replied to Kelly Householder's topic in General Mooney Talk
It was there 8 hrs ago? -
I assume it comes with 0 time engine...$30k, paint job $8k, interior $8k, panel $15k, base airplane $14k...I'd expect a price of around $75k if my math is correct
-
Since this is a government book, I'm betting it wasn't a Naval aviator who wrote it, probably some dweeb with a Phd. If you need to change altitude quickly, do you really use the throttle, or do you use the stick? I'm betting after setting up 155 knots speed, it was stick and rudder
