Hey dude can I ride your motorcycle...end of discussion

Apologies, I felt that an airport closure might be safety related. To update the closure has been moved out to Oct 14 as there was an issue with the asphalt test during the FAA inspection.

I was under the impression that the factory wing tip lights have a two wire connection positive and negative wires

I will be in contact with the successful bidder and confirm its ok to post the name on a public forum. I was informed that they raised a total of 11.5 AMU's from all the silent auction items. Nice work every one

Well seems like the wing mounted unit might be less hassle. I liked the idea of the tail as it would keep my wing tip lights matching I know they sell a match for the other wing but not sure the cost.

Just an FYI and I'm sure not necessary since I know your all checking your NOTAMS but Lampson Field is closed until Oct 25 for runway and taxi way re surfacing

Nice thing that the early models have the position tail light on the empennage not the movable rudder

Some stuff can be replaced but as Scott has pointed out there are things we have that are deeply personal that cannot. As someone that lives in an area that has been surrounded by some of the worst wildfires in history and with friends and co workers that have lost everything I can relate to how this can affect someone. Thankful they were unharmed and all the critters are safe but this creates and enormous emotional stress and the process of rebuilding is going to be challenging to say the least. in my job I was tasked with restoring electricity to the people that we're rebuilding after these fires and had contact with thousands of people and to experience the stories first hand made it very personal for me. My best wishes go out to the Maxwells.

Pretty sure Scott's E is a fine airplane and reasonably priced. This is an example that not all sales that fall through have to be bad experiences. Good luck to both of you.

Not to mention really cool tail art

I was advised by my carrier a few years ago that if you only have liability you would have to cover whatever costs were tied to recovery so not only have you lost your airplane but you could also be on the hook for the recovery expenses

My Aunt, rest her soul put it better than I have ever heard when she responded to my comment that I was getting old. She said "Your not as old as your gonna be"

Definitely don't want to start a my caliber is better than yours only that 9mm is the most common choice of your typical gang banger in the Cali cities where it's not uncommon to get that kind of response when it comes to road rage. It just seems like folks here are just trying to be helpful. Hope you find the plane of your dreams.

Why so angry or is that just a NYC real city thing. As for honking horns not much of that out west possible because in many cities the response may be in the form of a 9mm

And is a big addition to the cost of certified airplanes

Has to be the best speed mod I've ever read about.

I'd like to see more pics. Love the blue as for the accent stripes they kind of give it a nice abstract tension and a little different than the same as everyone else's curved graphics.

Welcome to Mooney Space D, what kind of Lancair are you building. We have a fellow hear Yooper that has built one of the finest examples flying.

Nobody hurt, great news. New owners pride and joy heavily damaged. Totally sucks. Making jokes is a little harsh don't you think.

And that's all that matters

Definitely looking to do the tail version. Please let us know if there are any installation issues. Thanks

Been holding out for the tail version think it will look better than having two dissimilar nav lights on each wing. Now the question is will it be as easy to install on our Mooneys as the wing version.It's just two screws holding the tail lamp with a metal cover.

Three of the four hangars I have been in required differential braking in order to get the nose pointed in the right direction. It definitely reduced the turning radius. I don't know if it's dragging the nose tire if so it doesn't feel like it and I have never seen evidence of it on the tread.

I respectfully disagree with this sentiment. I fly a C and have no intention of getting my IFR. In fact I would make the point that flying VFR in a faster airplane is safer than in a slow airplane in that the weather forecasts have less time to vary than they would if you are traveling much more slowly. And even though the majority of our trips are less than 200 miles it's nice to be able to do them in just over an hour as opposed to more than two. I suppose if we lived east of the Rocky Mountains where weather is more un stable it would make more sense to hold the rating. To the OP I say happy hunting

Super glad no one seriously hurt. Now at least there is someone to tell the tail of what happened and we can learn the why.
