  1. I’m at the tail end of a panel upgrade and I know I’ll need to sit in the plane pushing buttons some. What is a good option for ground power that is not stupid expensive? Also, on the M20E what plug do I need for the power receptacle? I don’t have access to my plane easily to look. What we started with to what we finished with! Garmin G3X w/EIS Garmin GFC500 Garmin GTN650 Garmin GMA345 Garmin SL30 Garmin G5 Garmin 345GTX Should bring the airplane home from the shop next week. They still need to calibrate the fuel senders and finish setting everything up. This has been a long process Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I started the process for a panel upgrade in June. Fortunately I still have my plane, but we are waiting on a few boxes to show up from Garmin… hang in there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Look at the overhaul costs between a 252/Encore and a Bravo. That might help with the decision. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Just order new ones from CIES and be done with it. You’ve got the plane pulled apart, not is the easiest time to upgrade them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Always be prepared for the weather to change. My last flight the forecast at my destination was clear and light winds. When I got there I had to shot an approach through a dust storm and winds were 35 gusting to 53 straight down the runway. That normally 2 hour flight ended up being 3.5 hours of the most miserable, bumpy flying I’ve ever done. Great write up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Here is part of the install manual for the GFC500 in case anyone wanted to take a look. 190-02291-63_05.pdf
  7. I would. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. So, if you have a “fire detect” system, do you also have some type of suppression system? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I used to have a 1964 MGB and it smelled the same as my 1970 M20E. Just a random observation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Airports that has air carrier service tend to have slightly better security. I try and cover my plane or at least put the window shades in place. Other than that, all door locks do is keep an honest man honest. If someone is intent on stealing about the only thing that will stop them is another person there to physically keep them from doing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Lemon pledge, Plexus, sprayaway, water, wash wax all, and others all work. Make sure whatever you use does not have ammonia. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Lasar, Don Maxwell, Southwest Texas Aviation, Dugosh Aviation are all Mooney Service Centers that might have the parts you need. Alan Fox is easy and great to deal with. The factory may even have some of the parts you need. Lots of resources out there. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. That’s a great deal! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I’d add that its not necessarily my confidence that has wained over the years, (when I’m current) its my tolerance for being uncomfortable that has. I fly for fun, I have no need to go voluntarily bounce around in high winds or marginal weather. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Wide painters tape works well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
