  1. Hangars in some parts of the country would change it a lot....also don't forget about insurance and all the money spent on restaurants to have an excuse to fly when normally you could just eat a PB&J at home.... I also have hotel expenses that are outrageous here in FL for quick overnight trips that I would not have normally taken without an airplane.... Damn addiction if you ask me.... Why are we all of a sudden doing the math on this.....
  2. gas is the most inexpensive $$ spent on an airplane. Even at Signature 9 dollar a gallon prices, especially for our Mooneys....yet pilots still plan to land with minimal fuel to save a few dollars... okay standing by for incoming....
  3. I have the plane power for about 10 years now...close to 1000 hours. I want to be proactive but they say no mx required until it fails. I am not to knowledgeable about my alternator. May be a stupid question....do I have brushes? is there really nothing I can do until it fails short of just buying a new one?
  4. I did this time and used the batteries they suggest. But one of them came from amazon with an expiration date of 1/29 and the other has no date on it at all of any kind. Of course the main battery has a manufactured date and an expiration date. I will just change them all again in 5 years when I do the main.
  5. made my own bird thing for the top of my stab and rudder. It has solved my problem 100%. Used a piece of cut plastic smaller sized downspout. Glued in a new piece of carpet and put the bird spikes on top. Experimenting with different ways to secure it. Spray glue from home depot that is specifically made to glue carpet to PVC and used epoxy for the bird spikes. I dont know why but all the planes around mine have no devices and clean tails. Mine attracted birds like a magnet. I live just 4 minutes away by golf cart and had to go out there several times a day to clean. NO more...
  6. remember the ACK has 3 batteries to change. I did mine a couple of days ago....they recommend the types to use on their site. No duracell due to leaking issues.
  7. That is normal...you will get high readings depending on if the door is open or closed, winds, plane in front of you etc...what counts is that you are single digit in flight. I shoot for ZERO and that is what I see about 100% of the time. Sometimes when the heat is on I may see single digits up to 2 or 3...OSHA says you are allowed I think up to 50 for 8 hours....
  8. No idea. I own a C and those tips are not on my radar.
  9. https://www.aveoengineering.com Cant say enough good things about this company....I was just in their Florida office today talking to them... Pricey...YES but you get great customer service. and the lights look great... Incandescent lights are cheaper but you cant be seen as well as having LED's... Installers are the main problem with LEDs....if they are dropped or over torqued the lens will crack and moisture gets in...then it's all down hill from there. Occasionally one will fail like mine did recently for no reason at all....but it was replaced under warrantee....
  10. Mine, LED are on 100% of the time I fly.....did you have them on in the 152 100% of the time?....see and be seen....and LEDs really make you be seen...
  11. anything under/behind the panel blocking it?
  12. I have a friend that will be at two years (or more) for a new engine for his Malibu.....
