    Ours are in the avionics bay by the batteries sort of. Looks like the LEDs are really easy to rewire.

    No rush man. Plane is tied up for awhile anyway. Thanks! I'd do the LEDs too but we have too many other squawks. I saw a nice 231 with LEDs in Oregon. I tried to get my screwdriver out but the line guy was watching

    I sold it on eBay months ago. It worked great for the buyer, I think I got 450 for it. Much more than I expected

    Our plane had hail damage back in the 90s that was repaired poorly. Maxwell went back in about 5 years ago and fixed it right. Having someone knowledgeable does make a difference despite the best intentions. It's sitting outside right now in a light t storm. With my luck it'll get it again.

    So, what exactly IS aopa doing with these reports? Anything?
  6. peevee
    Haha you've been stung by the reverse hangar elf. Hangar krampus?

    Have a lot of reserve money for first year repairs. But that's any plane. Who is going to do your pre purchase inspection? I hate to go down that road but it's a lot of plane for a new pilot and first time owner.

    Maybe they'll scrap a k. I need parts.

    He probably visited because he got an email notification. He hadn't in over a year 6 hours ago.

    Still hoping to find one
  11. peevee
    Whaaaaaaat? I can't hear you over the engines! I love the old lears. The timex of airplanes. They got ground into dust and still flew.
  12. peevee
    123 rule still applies so at that point we're talking a 15 minute reserve difference. Insignificant. I think?

    I live on the front range. As if now it's pretty light at 9. Solstice is next week so it isn't changing any time soon.

    Been touring around a little. Denver to tonopah to Merced for a few days Merced to 0q5 for a couple 0q5 to mfr for a few Mfr to Heber City Utah Then home Wednesday. Haven't taken too many pics but there's a few Messing around with power settings some. Trying to find the balance. We've seen Yosemite, Crater lake, a bunch of water falls, a weird hot spring in a cave that is who knows how deep.

    When I hit the lotto I'll get one. I'll need you to fly with me awhile though so I can get turbine time
  16. peevee
    Eh, they don't climb that well but it's perfectly capable. Keep it light.... Piston single at night is just a bad idea but it doesn't get dark until like 9 right now anyway. On a perfect day it's not entirely unthinkable to leave in the evening after the storms have moved east and get there just before sunset. But not without experience. I don't have enough to try it a d I do a fair bit of flying in these mountains. Actual darkness? No. Not even in a turbo at 230. A turbine,? I'm your huckleberry

    He hasn't been here in over a year, might try sending a pm or email if it allows. Sorry about your troubles

    Unfortunately I'm staying in Heber and my options are to press on to vernal or somewhere for gas and get stuck down low for the 1.5 home or suck it up for 20 gallons and go home at 190. At the end of the day I chose to come here so I can't complain much. Except for about the food at lunch, that was terrible, lol I think it's cheaper to go into Aspen than here.

    It's unfortunately the only convenient spot around. I'll take as little fuel as possible. I was here 2 years ago and it wasn't this bad.
  20. peevee
    I'm at 36u today. They get 6.35 a gallon of gas plus a 25 or 50 dollar a night tie down. No wonder comments are off on airnav

    182 is a fine mountain airplane. Go in the am. Use the Colorado aeronautical chart to plan your route or the Colorado pilots association website. Be on the ground by noon or 1pm. Do not climb up valleys. Get your altitude then turn in. You can make anywhere in the state at 12,5 and the 182 will do fine there but keep it light.
  22. peevee
    You just missed us, we left about 0830. Nice and clear today, not so yesterday
  23. peevee
    Damn. Why didn't I think of that. I looked up the owner, I'm calling the paint police right now.
  24. peevee
    Rapidly becoming the POA forum. Arguing over everything.
  25. peevee
    Had to laugh. Parked next to this guy in Medford today. Thought it looked like the paint job heard around mooneyspace
