    I would suspect it won't remain free for long!
  2. MikeOH
    That was my take; but don't bet your future skin cancer on my opinion

    chatgpt's take on UV and aircraft windows:
  4. MikeOH
    Hmm, that smells like I would spring for a NEW horse blanket

    I am NOT judging others but, for me, THIS is exactly why I do not fly at night. I want to be able to SEE my landing spot!

    I'm a bit confused as the tool referenced in the AD is designed to check the wooden tail for deterioration by applying a substantial side load and measuring for less than 1/16" permanent deformation after the load is applied. Thing is, I was under the impression that there had been an AD that ELIMINATED ALL wood TAILs on Mooneys. (requires replacement will metal tails) Is that not the case?

    @SilentT Has the A&P that "lost" your seats agreed to pay for their replacement? They were in his custody so, if he won't, I'd be rather inclined to file a small claims action. I've never sued anyone in my life but this situation would piss me off enough that I'd be inclined to!

    Put a small load on the battery when out of the aircraft; maybe a small 28V bulb. If the voltage collapses you'll know it's the battery.

    Hmm, 8kts costs you nearly 3 gph! I love LOP
  10. MikeOH
    WOW! That was painful to watch
  11. MikeOH
    BINGO! At my home drome (KPOC) I have never missed turning off at taxiway D, 1600 feet from the threshold. That's calm wind. If I have 10 kts on the nose I can make taxiway C with heavy braking, 650 feet from threshold. Minimum energy at touchdown!

    Another 'vote' for the oil drain back tubes; specifically, the short rubber section between the 'hard line' and the case. Mine were hard, cracked and therefore not sealing.
  13. MikeOH
    Probably where LASAR buys them!
  14. MikeOH
    Having BTDT, 100% agree! I did the passenger side first and thought “this going to be a piece of cake”! Little did I know….
  15. MikeOH
    Hmm, doesn't work so well when you only have a landing light. Which I have on from takeoff to landing. I've never had an issue with a simple, "Confirm Mooney XXX cleared to land runway YY" request if I'm a bit unsure.
  16. MikeOH
    Yeah, but the shipping is $5.95
  17. MikeOH
    Maybe just me, but your new font is nearly impossible to read.

    Good read, but keep in mind this is a site for VATSIM; it is NOT an FAA or government site! Note the disclaimer at the bottom of the page:

    Yeah, that was a FABULOUS box. It almost seemed like Garmin wanted to not merely eliminate competition, which makes sense, but eliminate a better product (the CNX80/GNS480), which made NO SENSE!
  20. MikeOH
    I have honed out minor scoring on automotive master and wheel cylinders; no idea if that is acceptable, or what the limits are before the piston cup won't seal, for aircraft. Seems low risk to try, BWTHDIK
  21. MikeOH
    Or, five minutes with tin snips, pliers, and a can of Krylon

    Just a possible suggestion as I have NOT done this: Use a heat gun on the inside to soften the adhesive, and then force a putty knife with a tapered blade between the window and frame on the outside. I.e., press in and away from the frame.
  23. MikeOH
    Sorry, FAIL! The one time I forgot to pull chocks was in a Cessna, over 30 years ago. I shut down, disembarked, and personally retrieved them in shame Everyone else stayed in the plane. NOT one of your choices.
  24. MikeOH
    Sorry, no way I believe there are perfect pilots. Exactly!
  25. MikeOH
    Striving for perfection is admirable; claiming it, well, not so much.
