I've seen your plane! I am in A24 against the grass....

Thanks all for your suggestions! Anyone have feedback on Take Flight Aviation at KMGJ?

Would you be able to provide ballpark of the base rates I might expect to see with Airmods or Weber?

Hi All, My M20J is based at KHPN and my annual is due next month. I am looking for shop recommendations in the area. Thanks in advance! Glen

No additional senders.

I used three things to pick my way through the worst weather. 1 - I have ForeFlight and a Stratus for ADS-B weather. 2 - The controllers were especially helpful in suggesting a waypoint north of the line of heavy crap (technical meteorological terminology) forming in front of me. 3 - I used my own eyes to steer around rain shafts when able. I had been watching this weather for days before the trip. By the time the day arrived I pretty much knew I would be facing IMC with scattered showers and the chance of convective weather popping up. I was prepared to deviate or land and delay as necessary. This weather was fun to fly through. The air was relatively stable, and the best thing was that the airports below were reporting VFR. I could not have made the trip VFR even at lower altitudes, but on a hard IMC day like that it was comforting to know I could get low and pop out if I wanted or needed to. More pictures from that trip....

I finally got my plane back from the shop this weekend. I had the annual done at the same time as the EDM900 installation so they had the airplane for quite a while. I also moved from Dallas to NY in that time, so some of that wait was due to my schedule and the weather as I had to go back to Dallas to retrieve the airplane. The shop did a very nice job on the installation. JPI calibrated it for 64 and 93 gallons, settings which I can choose before startup. The fuel indicators on the JPI read full until the the point where the analog wing gauges read about 28-30 gallons. Then the indicators on the JPI drop to indicate more or less the same, as verified by the fuel used calibration on the fuel flow meter. My original analog gauges were disconnected and covered because they were skewing the resistance in the circuit between the liquidometers and the EDM900. Fine with me, one less distraction. I got close to 10 hrs of flight time getting the Mooney home from Dallas on Sunday, and half of that was in fairly hard IFR. Having all of the engine indicators within close scan of the six pack was really nice. I am very happy with the EDM900 so far.
