  1. Too hard to get to white arc in the Mooney with the gear up. Need those bottom spoilers.
  2. I'm just lazy. I'll take the trade offs to put some of the workload on the controllers, especially out west here in the summer when fire tfrs pop up with little notice.
  3. tell him he owes me commission
  4. Larks would be for APA maybe ftg I can't remember. anything north like bjc would be the powdr.
  5. Oh, I forgot people fly xc vfr
  6. Coming from the west they don't have space to give you time to descend. It'll be a slam dunk especially into bjc depending in where you pop out. For morer time file powder.powdr8 that'll help.
  7. At 3.20 I'd show up with a pickup and a big tank on wheels lol
  8. I swear I've seen them on precise flights website but now I can't find them. Price was around 1500 for a steel tank. Try aerox too but you don't want the regulator and valve. You shouldn't need a new regulator, is the one you have broken?
  9. Unless I'm climbing high and intend to be at full power I'll just use 30ish inches. 25 if I'm repoing to a close in airport. It's plenty.
  10. I would think the case could be made that yeah, he/she was good to go the date and time I saw the person. Whatever happened 5 minutes later how are they to know? is it ideal? no. Is it better than what we had before? yes.
  11. We don't. I remember reading weep no more saying it was best for the seals to keep them full.
  12. I don't really like 0 flap takeoffs. They feel....wrong
  13. Good thing I don't have to pee No reply.
  14. Normal in both k models I've flown regularly. Lead with trim...
  15. Did already.
  16. In the process of replacing sump drains we cleaned off a lump of what we thought was fuel gunk around one of the rivets that holds the nut plate that holds the sump drain in our monroy tanks. Turns it it might have been some sort of sealant, the rivet appears to have not been well set and sticks out 1/16" or so. Now fuel is leaking relatively rapidly around that rivet. Has anyone sealed one of these? Since it's the aux tank it's in sort of a weird spot behind the main tank in a different bay it seems, but it's hard to see. There are tank access panels that could probably be opened but then need to be resealed. The hole for the drain valve seems to small to apply sealant through. All I have found is an RV builder trick, thin some proseal, apply vacuum to tank, and suck it in around the rivet. Tried to ask monroy. No reply so maybe others have had a similar experience.
  17. You're not going to find a perfect snowflake of a plane of that vintage but that one has enough damage history and quick turnover recently along with the price, I wouldn't even consider it.
  18. Only been once but it was ok both days In fact I don't remember any wind in guanacaste at all. Nice place. I do remember their radar sitting on two shipping containers... On top of two more shipping containers...
  19. There's also a warning about flying over the field at the end of the awos tape recorded by the one and only don dolce haha
  20. Then I'd want another 100
  21. coming back with the plane we were down at 8 avoiding wind, IFR, and passed a bonanza like he was standing still. I could do with another 50 or 100 knots, though.
  22. why not the little czech engine like they use in the lancair? Seems like it'd work just fine. Extend the mount out and a new cowl, bam! turbine time!
  23. you need to be on the lookout for a kingair and or a twin otter hauling ass into the pattern though and expect a lot of traffic squeezed in between the bravo and the rocks in general. It's a busy corridor.
  24. 90% of the time in the summer they'll depart on 1 west and one north runway land north x3.
