    sure sounds like a grounding issue

    @Gary R. Jones, In an effort to get your thread back on track, welcome aboard. You might want to add what they came off of and what they measure (better search results). If you ignore your 1st experience, Mooney Space really is a great group

    This thread is officially drucksed up,
  4. RLCarter
    Congrats

    Not sure if this has been asked or not..... Has the issues been there since the install, or have they popped up slowly over time? Is this an owner installation, owner assisted, or shop installed?

    Any major fires in the area? They burn Sugar Cane in our part of TX and the ash goes/gets everywhere, I've seen it at altitude as high as 7500msl

    Big Brother is watching.....lol. FlightAware tracks IFR flights and VFR sometimes, there a couple companies you register with then file through the them to fly with a "masked" tail number. Not sure what the fee is but I'm sure there is one

    Looking at your other post on issues with your JPI, my guess would be head unit (possible grounding issue) probes do fail but several at the same time is rare, temp probe should be out on the wing so your not reading the heat from the cowl area

    It's not just students, a non-instrument rated pilot might not have a clue as to where you are, even an IR pilot not familiar with the approach would have issues

    Good luck, friend of mine moved there 2 yrs ago, and still looking. 500 isn't too bad for a short term

    At 57 it ain't no cakewalk, but being 6'1" and 225#'s doesn't help much, luckily my A&P/IA is a rubbery 37 and skinny

    Legal does not mean Safe, and I believe you know the answer for next time. Closer than you would have liked, beat and ready to land and I assume a tighter pattern than you normally fly. Had this been at a controlled field, what do you think the controller would have done? Another thing I didn't see in the comments is if the 150 was on a IFR flight plan he now has both sets of rules to abide by and stands a better chance of violating an FAR

    They do become flying projects at some point

    Congrats, always liked that paint scheme. You might be able to order the missing lens for the annunciator through a MSC

    I agree with Clarence, regardless of Mooney experience or not they should have it out in short order
  16. RLCarter
    The mounts on my E were installed wrong, so I replaced all 4, if memory serves they torque to 400~450 in lbs

    I have a couple buddies with Skyviews in their RV's (1 has dual Skyviews) and they are awesome and Dynon is a great company to work with from what I've heard. It won't be long before we'll be able to install them on certified aircraft

    Gleim teaches you to pass the test without really teaching the subject, a home ground school it is not
  19. RLCarter
    Went with Sporty's for PP & Instr. Rating, Gleim for Com. & CFI but Gliems to me was a total waste of money. Personally I would get the lessons on DVD so that you will always have them, All of the books can be downloaded from the FAA's website, there a couple of sites where you can do practice writen test for "Free". You might want to state you location so it will be easier to hook you up with a CFI.

    @romeotango here ya go
  21. RLCarter
    Check to make sure either shaft is hanging up on something behind the panel
  22. RLCarter
    Once you start removing the sealant your are committed to finishing the job or find someone that will finish it for you cause the aircraft isn’t moving
  23. RLCarter
    I had the larger flywheel/pulley and had to go with a longer belt, can get the belt # later this afternoon
  24. RLCarter
    Call Dave at 484-224-0105, he's in Allentown PA (KXLL)
  25. RLCarter
    There is a member on here that has a shop in PA that is reasonable on the older 52gal tanks, a buddy out of the DC area took his C to him and seems pleased with the work. Will try and find his info and post it for you, phone calls are cheap
