I had to show proof of purchase as well.

I have this picture. Its not the best, as we were putting in a new alternator and not all the screws were put back in. Sorry for the sideways shot..

My plane uses flush screws installed by previous owner. It makes it much easier to access the alternator and starter. It looks pretty good, but not a nice as the sandwich installation.

Donated via paypal. Thanks!!

I am finding the Skybeacon to be a little finicky. I am constantly having to adjust the transponder threshold in order to get a squawk code to display. Some days are perfect, most require adjustments. May have something to do with the tail beacon delays?

Carson Aviation (Troy) in Carson City is an authorized Garmin dealer. They do great work with great prices. May want to check them out.

I just read an article about Military testing the use of gps jammers over the next few weeks. AOPA called the Federal Aviation Administration's response to flight safety risk unacceptable. Not sure if this is in your area or not.

Great information!. That was kinda the way I interpreted it, but was still unsure if I had to ask for a squawk code. I was also trying to decide if just the above 10,000 feet rule was enough. Thanks again everyone for helping out!

I did a EDM900 upgrade a few months ago. I have a fuel manifold pressure gauge from a 64C if interested.

Excellent! Thank you for the advice. I will go skirt around class C and see what happens.

Stupid question.....When you went up, did you have to get a squawk code or did you just go 1200? I am at an uncontrolled airport. Thanks!!

Thank you for sharing that! I am installing mine tomorrow.

There a a few places like Chief and few on EBay who have them in stock. I finally cancelled my pre order and got it shipped out today. They didn't respond to me either until I asked to cancel the order. Received a response in 3 minutes. Good luck!

Then I would say you definitely have a 65

Does your Mooney have the round rear windows or the rectanglish?

Hi Paul, Please add me as well when you get a chance. Very cool project!

I use FlyQ as well. I really like it and can't recommend it enough!

Just always remember, when approaching mountains, go over them at a 45 degree angle, just in case you encounter wind sheer. You can safely turn out of it. So many people without mountain experience go straight over and can't do a 180 which leads to problems. Good luck with your flight and have a safe trip!!

I do the Mooney dip. After positive climb I tip the nose down at the exact same time as I release the gear and start the swing motion. It is really simple with very minimal effort. Once locked, I resume normal climb out. Hope you start feeling better!

I had to walk on this plane. unfortunately, the engine is past TBO (over 12 years and sat a lot in a high humid area) it was too much of a risk. it cant pass an IFR..has a pito leak + a few other issues with alt reporting and compass heading is 40 deg off. There are a few issues with radio and audio panel still going on. I asked the owner to take care of some of the issues that had come up and he refused. He is a very nice guy...pay close attention to logs..he did a lot of work on it himself. He has a friend who would sign it off. Way too many risky issues so I passed. It will need sb208 done as well which is pretty expensive.Be sure to pull the side panels to inspect for corrosion. Good Luck!

Hi GoFastPro, Yes please pm me his information. I would really appreciate it!

Hi Don, Thank you so much for your reply. Unfortunately I just can't seem to find anybody to go check this out so I am just going to fly out there and take it to a shop myself. Don Maxwell, did not do the last few annuals, I would feel so much better if he did.

Hi guys, does anyone know of an a&p near Terrel Tx to have a look at a C for me? I am located in Nevada and want to hire someone to look at a few items before I fly out there. I would love to do a PPI, but unfortunately the owner lost his medical and has nobody to fly the plane. it just completed an annual in Feb. It also just had both tanks sealed at Don Maxwell. Thanks so much!

There is a really good shop that just opened at Columbia for avionics. Only one experience with them and they were fantastic. I also go to Troy (owner) at Carson Aviation in Carson City Nevada which is a full service shop. Excellent rates and very good service. I have never been disappointed with them or their prices. I am thinking they were right around that $85 hr but maybe they just gave me good rates because I am a return customer. Good Luck!

As for radio noise close to towers. I spent months trying to solve that issue. It got so bad that I couldn't make out what tower was even saying. After looking at both radios, antennas and the wiring, It turned out to be panel mounted usb ports. Luckily I had a switch to turn them off and the problem was gone.
