    I just sent him a text to check in, told him he is missed over here!

    Sounds like there is a MooneySpace Meetup in the making!

    It’s not where you start, but where you go! Hopefully he will join MS or start posting his own videos so we can see where he ends up.

    I enjoy watching his videos and absolutely loved the scenery of the cross country trip they recently completed together, it brought back some really good memories for me and makes me want to plan another cross country trip. His camera work and editing is really great. He is becoming a great pilot and narrator as he matures and gains experience. While he may not be a fit in a group of old grumpy pilots, mark my words, he is one of the connections to bringing younger pilots to our flock, let’s encourage him!

    The rc prop tach works great from the cockpit, I have the same one in my Mooney toolbox. I think it is one of my most loaned out tools to the neighborhood

    Absolutely correct, and a really thrifty CB may place the airplane on jacks when they know it will be sitting for a while to protect those precious rubber donuts. And crown them ‘King of CBs’ if they made the jacks for less than $100!

    Oh, that's terrible...

    It's a little fly-in community, resident and visitor use only. There's tons of private strips down here on the southside of Atlanta. You can throw a stick and it will land on a grass airstrip

    Yeah, I spent a few minutes looking for just the filter but couldn't find it. I would call spruce and ask them if they sell just the filter, and if they don't sell it separately ask them to pull the kit and tell me the part # of the filter is. If they won't do it over the phone I can do it on one of my semi-daily trips there.

    CP-1176, Available from Aircraft Spruce (part # 08-01031) for $235.00!!!

    K&N supplies the filter for Challenger, it is probably the K&N filter for a Dodge Omni or something.

    I'm at Brook Bridge (Griffin), 8GA9

    With Cirrus SR series at 380 sold and the Icon A5 selling 44, Mooney needs to look long and hard at their production and marketing techniques if they want to produce/sell more aircraft. Strong marketing sells an amphibious flying jet ski for big bucks. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have one too but for fun, not for traveling around the country. I’d be willing to bet there are a few A5 owners that also have a Cirrus as both are doing a great job selling their product and reaching outside the normal airplane publications to draw new people in.

    Jennifer, I told you to stay off my airplane forums! I know it’s you, mooneyspacers don’t rat out other mooneyspacers spending habits! (Sorry guys, I think 40-0Flight might be my wife, she’s obviously trying to find out where my daughter college fund is going!)

    Are you sure it’s original? Here is what mine looks like:

    How can you say such a thing? They are easy to work on, they just bite every now and then!

    No way, mine are from The Jack House and I even use the correct jack pads. Maybe I should have done the DIY Harbor Freight jacks lifting the airplane on the tiedown eyelets, with all the money saved I could have applied it towards my engine and insurance premium!

    When my Mooney was down waiting for major engine work, I renewed the insurance policy with ground only since I knew it would be parked in the hangar for a while. In conversation with my neighbor (who owns a 182) he thought it was pretty funny that his 182 with air and ground, being flown by him and his kids (who were using it to build flight time), was almost 1/2 the price of my Mooney ground only policy. How any airplane parked in a privately owned hangar can be a larger risk than a 182 being tossed about by multiple pilots I will never know.

    I'm not sure about the Mite but I can tell you that one of Al Mooney's earlier 1940 designs, the Culver Cadet, does not have a drain on the main fuel tank. There was also an optional long range tank that mounted behind the seat and that did not have a drain on it either (if I remember correctly). There is a gascolator on the firewall which is difficult to access during preflight checks. Hopefully a Mite expert will chime in with some Mite facts for you!

    I was just going to post pretty much the same statement, "when their products became substandard and they kept insisting that they weren’t."

    Spare parts

    Thank you Alan -Joe

    @Alan Fox Hi Alan, Do you still have any of these j-bar rods?
  24. Culver LFA
    No way, I’m going to get her a blanket! Way cheaper and easier than modifying the system and running all that sceet hose!

    That’s probably it, I bet basic med goes in a different review stack.
