Yes , But your Mooney is nicer than mine! One day I going to fly up to 10,000'. Just wait, you will all see.I'll post a picture. By the way, Brian, my plane came from Carson Valley , a 1967 M20E too. carl

6,500 ' It was pretty scary too. I'll try next time to go higher. carl

excellent

HA ! you should study youtube Flying the Grumman TBF "Avenger" Torpedo Bomber (1944) HA HA Don't , Really , I am more confused each day, . I do feel now if I screw up and "over speed " (Square) than I'm OK at least a little.

Ross, I am thinking; pull the throttle back to 25 inches Manifold Pressure, then the prop back to 25 hundred RPM . If I just pull the prop back to 25 hundred rpm and leave the throttle full in wouldn't the MP be greater then the RPM , a very bad thing, as I was taught. RPM bigger than MP. Carl

oh yeah, what does , Flight Authority mean? carl

Wow sounds like Montreal is the place to be.. I found my FRN registration restricted radiotelephone operator permit, but as Yves says "don't worry about it" i don't find it in these requirements from Transport Canada Pilot Documentation Pilot Certificate, valid Medical Certificate Proof of citizenship (passport, birth certificate and photo ID) Refer to: Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA): www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca U.S. recreational pilot certificates and sport pilot certificates are not recognized in Canada. Licences and certificates that meet the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards are valid for operating aircraft between the U.S. and Canada. Aircraft Documentation Certificate of Registration Weight and Balance Information Flight Authority Proof of Liability Insurance Operating Limitations The CARs require pilots to carry proof of liability insurance on board their aircraft when operating in Canadian airspace. This applies to all aircraft, including private, amateur-built and ultralight aircraft. The type of coverage is based on the aircraft’s gross take-off weight (CAR 606.02). Thanks for all you input, I will advise if I go.

Thanks Guys this is very helpful. "And don't worry about the radio license " that is super . carl

I was thinking of visiting Montreal around thanksgiving time. vfr any idea of the best airport to clear customs? landing and parking fees maybe just going to plattsburg NY and driving across the border. radio license and operators licence .i got one , but i dont know which . any information would be interesting altoona pa kaoo carl

this is what i try to do . but sometimes i get all messed up. full throttle . two pumps flaps 65 mph rotate . pitch for 85 vx gear comes up . johnson bar. mp and rpm to 25./25 boost pump off 85 mph pitch downward for 107mph vy and flaps come up as mph increases above 85 im still over.the runway it happens so fast. after i clear the runway and have my crash landing spot picked out i pitch for 120 mph climb out and usually start my turnout . i cruise just about like hank does . 23 rpm for just flying the 24/ 24 25/25 but my typical trip is to run laundry up to my son at clarion college . 45 minutes by air 2 and a half hours by car . . sometimes the flights can take all day . cause they are just too fun carl

Ok , Now I have a much clearer understanding . Thanks all.

1)maybe i came in on the middle of something i dont understand . but i have seen michae fly his parrots and it is amazing . 2) michael is the sole reason i have a mooney now . 3) michael' s flying videos are instructional and enjoyable . 4)michael is the reason i own a mooney. his video showing "taking delivery of my mooney " . was my motivation after.i watched that video i sent.my offer, and i mean i watched the video and committed and sent.it that minute . if.i had watched piperpainters videos.i would not.have. .(but i like them too) 5)his video to the north of canada is nearly epic.. 6)this guy flew from NJ to Disneyland non stop with a super foxy lady . ( maybe married now ) 7) my goal is to meet this aviator . animal trainer. glider pilot ,mooney pilot. maybe i mistook this blog . i am just saying wow . michael.is a great guy. i am.sure you are.all too. carl

question if your cable breaks on mixture it should go full rich, if the throttle, it should go to full. or is that not true.

Just wait till you ask about max load takeoffs , then you will be really impressed with Marauder.

Jim, Beautiful Mooney. But confusing, maybe a C with an original windshield , and a modified nose bowl and spinner. What do you have there?

this was not.me. i flew.to clarion pa and dropped off my son after he came.home for the weekend to.wash his clothes. but i love this post . great use . if only we could see the n numbers .

Cringe time! and that not the other half with the loran!

my 66 m20 e likes 5 and 1/2 quarts of 15 -50 on the stick . more than that and it just goes away. when it get to 5 .5 it stays there at about a rate of 1 quart for ten hours . carl

steep turns . woohooo how steep ? and at what speed ? how many g s . what it feel like . i want to race too . carl

True genius. Yes i could buy those for $189 !! Crazy Your style will be my next attempt, stainless . carl

My student just finished her schooling , so I could take her flying,(there is some rule...), all she could say before is I want to go flying ... after the flight all she could say is, and I quote " That is so COOL , I have to lean to fly " and I think she will. I think it is cool ,but I do sleep on commercial airliners. carl

Finished,painted , with gasket material to protect the bottom of the plane. This month is annual, so I will be jacking this plane up. I hope they don't get the paint scratched off !

oh ok . now i understand why he.is flying non stop. federallies .

Wow , So you are flying from Guatemala City, Cozumel as a waypoint,but not a stop, and then to key west non stop. I can't wait to see your videos . Great thanks carl

what are your fuel takes . ? standard 52 gal, or long range ?about 380 miles over water, scary ? do you have to do anything with cuba, or are you out of their airspace? Sounds like an epic trip carl
