Well, Wikipedia is no match for the french your special ladies can show you

Well it remains to be seen, but yes Marauder, it is French, where writing is concerned, there is no such thing as Quebec French, unless one is using slangs which I was not... it`s just normal French !

Seth, let us know what Rocket tell's you, because I find this to be alarming as well. I will ask my mecanic if he can check my prop governor at my next oil change. On the other subject, hope the baby is doing great !!! Thanks !

Je vais vous envoyer un message privé.

Non, pas encore, je ne sais pas pourquoi l'annonce a été retiré, seriez vous intéressé ? Est-ce que vous êtes Proche de Montréal ?

Great update David, can you take a picture of your Flightstream installation and how it is mounted please. I will have mine installed in couple of weeks and would love to make sure it is installed properly right out of bat. Thanks !

Nah, Erik''s Rocket looks much better than this little bird with 4 blade prop

Hi Erik, I'm free tomorrow ( saturday ), but sunday I have my mecanic installing my AOA and Reiff Heater on sunday all day. My mecanic is not free tomorrow, but if it is good enough weather, I can come no problem.

How would one know if a governor failure was imminent, what are the signs to look for on runup ?. I have the Full feathering prop on the Rocket, so just wondering. Thanks !

I'm in... let me know when !!!

I have mine under the 3rd access panel I belive, on the left side, I think pretty much aligned with the stall tab.

I have it the same place as Carusoam, under the wing. I would have tought the position in the vent would get a good amound of prop air in it, wondering if that would influence the data ?

Do you guys have a big difference between the CHT temperatures when engine has been off for a day or 2, and that the probe is giving the ambient temperature. I have a 20 degrees of difference on #6 CHT when looking at the ambient temperature and more than 60 or 70 when running. I know it is most probably not a cylinder issue since ambient temperature for #1 to #5 CHT would be the same, and #6 with 20 degrees hotter... TIM at JPI tech support has been great helping to figure out what is going on. Till now we have switched #4 CHT probe with #6 and also have bench tested the EDM, so only remaining problem is the K type wires going from the Probe to the EDM. Hope this is not a hijack of the thread...

I talked to Steve Rue and someone else at Mooney, it seems that there is no possibility of a 3 bench seat for the K model. What Steve was supprised with was the fact that I have already a bench in the back ( I guess some have 2 seat cushions ), but I have a full bench, but no way of adding a 3rd seatbelt legally. that is a big bummer, since it seems very easy to do to add a 3rd seat belts to the same middel fix points for the existing seat belt fixtures. Too bad...

I'm looking for the same info on my TSIO 520 NB. JPI thinks it's on #6, because it runs hotter. I guess no other way than to follow the harness and see which one is not a baynoet going into the EDM, right ???

MAPA saftey foundation recommends O2 at 8000 ft during the day and 5000 or 6000 ft at night...good on you to recognize it and being prepared to deal with it.

wow, thanks for the info, I was told by REiff that I need to buy it from them since Aircraft Spruce Canada did'nt carry it, I rather order from spruce, and also thanks for the petro-can info, I will look it up...Telus seems to have a pay per use service for text, but not sure if it requires a monthly plan...

Hi, Ordering my Reiff Preheat system and wanting to install it before winter settles in, I was told by Reiff that they don't sell their "GSM Witura WT-1673 Cellular Remote Control for Preheater" in Canada anymore since there is no way to activate it and I also talked to switch-box guy and he tells me the US SIM cards will not work in Canada, being able to remotely turn on the system is important to me, I live about 30 minutes from the airport (without traffic), so doing an hour round trip the night before a winter flight is not ideal or even feasible most of the time. My cell phone carrier "Bell Canada" doesn't seem to have a text only or pay per usage plan and don't want to pay 30 or 40$ a month for a monthly plan. I was looking at some international SIM cards, either by iroam or other providers as possible solutions for a pay per usage deal. Wondering if any other Canadian pilots using a cell activated remote control for their heathers and if so, what do you use, what kind of system, SIM card, carrier and charges per usage or monthly. Even if my plane is in a heated hanger, I still want to have this heater on the engine since it takes a long time in very cold weather (10 to 15 min) to get the oil hot enough to do my run-up (>75f), and running the engine at low oil temperature (30f to 50f when starting) is not good for the engine from what I understand. The fact that I have to take the plane out of the hanger, and tow for about 5 min before I can turn on the engine makes all these temps go much lower by the time engine is starting. Thanks very much !!!

Bob, I'm so jalous of your pannel.. It's very elegently laid off..

by factory A.O.A, do you mean the wing stall tab ??? if so, then it is on the left wing... I would like to understand more the aerodynamic reasons of putting it there instead of the right wing.

Hi, Just ordered my CYA100 AOA and I was going to install it on an access panel under right wing, but a pilot friend of mine was telling me I should install it on the left wing. He did'nt go into too much detail, but I gatherd it was because of the P factor and that it would be advantagous installing the probe under the left wing. I will ask Rip about it, but was wondering for those whom already installed the CYA100 probe, have you done it under the left or the right wing and why ? Thanks !!!

I just sent my EDM 700 to JPI for a bench test and add Fuel Flow in it, they told me 7 to 10 days that it would take for them to complete and sent it back. I'm wondering if that is something you guys have gone trough and how fast are they ? On a side note, would you fly without the EDM, I'm a bit uneasy, since I want to see all my temps on the big bore engine when I fly, even tough it is not a flight requirement, I think it is better for my plane to fly it when I get it back, but I guess I can rely on the single factory CHT and oil temp gauges and run the machine very very conservatively.... or just wait...

Yeah, with the huuuugggge TFR's on NY and Philly... I see the philly one is lifted, but not the NY one, I guess the pope is going back to Italy tomorrow...

I did also my interior with Bruce and it's pretty amazing. Bruce is a bit hard to follow after 12 hours, I'm a bit older than half his age and he got more energy than me at his age. I recommend Bruce's Spatial interior to any Mooney owner wanting to redo their interior.

yeah, now imagine me with 130h of flight time jumping in K Rocket converted. I was in aww after the first 5 min, seeing the vsi at about 1500 ft/min and still going at about 120 to 130 knots...
