  1. The elevators? It should, the thumpers are tiny.
  2. You can put it on the elevators. A lot of the 231s and 252s have hot props
  3. Merced was very reasonable when I was there in June, no ramp fee with self serve fuel and what I considered at the time to be a fair price. The town is uh....yeah. I wouldn't want to make the drive every day to the park from that far out. That about exhausts what I know about it. Mariposa looked neat, I'd like to have spent more time there.
  4. I looked in January for a June trip and it wasn't early enough!
  5. Driving from the West sucks so bad. Tioga was closed, the north was closed, and the only open route was one lane for construction. Yosemite is beautiful but way too crowded for me.
  6. We did Merced because cars were available and cheap, and Tioga road was closed so mammoth lake wasn't an option. I think a member here is based at kmpi, driving through that looked like a good spot. Can't help on places to stay. We bailed out early, Tioga was closed and a rock slide had closed the North West entrance, whatever that one was called, and it made getting around too difficult.
  7. Sweet! Sure send those LEDs on over Yeah, I should probably fix this melted one before something bad happens.
  8. I thought I read something about the certified jpis can't be moved from one plane to another. I can't remember the reason, they won't allow you to recode then or something
  9. Fancy. I just mark the bottles with a sharpie c
  10. It's 1.6oz per qt of oil. I run 10qts on a change so a whole bottle. I or dose my oil with a big syringe, 1.6 ea so the makeup oil is dosed and no one has to think too hard.
  11. and plenty of mooneys have icing equipment and aren't certified for FIKI, but it's still better than nothing. People pay big money to cav for non fiki TKS systems. and what of thermawing? You see plenty of lancairs with it.
  12. Oasis is what they go by. Did a ppi for us at a reasonable cost.
  13. If I gave two shits I might.
  14. I have never used one of those rnavs, I used to kind of know how back in college but the gns430 had just come out and we had a mix of those and kln89bs . That's the one that works like a course Lin computer yeah? Builds a point to point route based on vor radials, more or less?
  15. Is this really happening right now? It's oil. Get over it.
  16. It'd be nice to be able to lock the doors, especially the baggage door. It's the least of his concerns though
  17. Can you call Mooney with the serial number and get keys made? I've heard there are only a handful of different keys
  18. The "little old man left the plane to rot" story is a good one but it could be just that. A story.
  19. What does the Hobbs say? Lot of wear on the yokes for a plane that's been sitting for so long. little things like the stain on the seat make me question how well cared for it was. Probably nothing to worry about. It'd have to be pretty cheap with no logs. Like, really cheap.
  20. angelflight mission to KDRO today. Didn't take many pics, makes the pax nervous when I text and fly. Didn't feel like burning a lot of gas so loafed it along a little
  21. first solo flight in a complex, an arrow back in about 2000. Forgot the gear, wondered why it was so slow, even for an arrow. Put it up and went about my day.
  22. less type. more purchase.
  23. dude, you can't leave lihue and fly directly to honolulu, man at least take a loop around. it's breathtaking.
  24. I like it. Sounds cheap.
  25. agreed. What's an engine core worth these days? it's not a small amount, then the avionics even dated are worth some bucks, I think the king AP and servos could bring 5k. I'm sure the reaper could tell you to the penny.
