I’m sure I’m gonna get blasted for suggesting this but there is quite a simple solution which is to use the “Fulfillment by Amazon” program. FBA Is a program whereby sellers can ship their inventory to Amazon, create product listings, and Amazon will handle all of the fulfillment, including sales, (2-day) shipping, customer service, and returns. It could be used by MSCs, independent shops, and owners. FBA does inventory management, sales tax, and everything else. It would modernize the entire supply chain of parts and accessories third-party suppliesrs could even ship directly to Amazon and never have to see the Kerrville warehouse https://www.amazon.com/fulfillment-by-amazon/b?node=13245485011

I would aff that having a part sourcing capability would allow existing vendors of mooney parts to sell through the system, And it would centralize the supply chain, Allow a mooney to understand which parts are in demand

I had the CEIS centers installed recently. I will be comparing them to the fuel flow over the next few months

What does the retrofit entail? How much is the additional GW? What would the cost be? It would be great if there was a long range tank option to go with it as well!

So you want people to argue? don’t understand

My experience with people writing a book, is that it doesn’t pay to argue with them

wind speed and direction are necessary conditions, no? May not be the whole recipe but without them , not having any wave

I always look skew-t for thermals Rather than Convergence or wave, which is why I asked. I am curious to know how they apply to wave

Do you think this was thermals? As far as I know, skew-t only represents thermal activity, not wave?

You can havevwave anytime winds are moving (close to ) perpendicular to the ridge, and as far downwind as 200 miles.

what size screw is this?

I had to look this up: http://electroair.net/6cylignitionKit.html Smooth Power site says: "Electroair offers both experimental and certified systems for most four and six cylinder Lycoming and Continental engines. Electroair's systems are FAA/PMA certified for most single and twin applications. We just received FAA approval for the Dual Mag Replacement System (April 2022). The information is so new we have not been able to update our website; please contact us for more information."

An a tangental note, when I started up today in between hangars after having been towed out, the G3X had GPS position in a few seconds, while the GTN750 took a few minutes

Tuesday, I picked up 54x at the avionics shop and did 3.9 shaking things out. A few squawks, but nothing major. Had to leave the plane at MMU bc WX. Went to get her today and did 2 laps in the pattern. on the 2d landing, stall horn went off 2 seconds after the flare, and turned off at the first taxiway 1450' past the threshold. Landed at LDJ and she is back in her hangar.

I agree. However map hasn’t been updated since last year

Yes, trim for hands off. Many people on this forum advocate trimming back to the stop

I read a number of people who make "trim all the way back" landings. They should read this: https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/maneuvers/how-you-can-prevent-an-elevator-trim-stall-on-final-flight/

does anyone know what's happening with the map? Should we start a new map that can be edited by anyone on the link? It could have Members, MSCs, MAPA and other event locatoins, etc. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1HL4EzGumAi8xVpNbPqHR_8LZxSH3jnPl if you want to be able to edit it, post or DM your email address

and my new useful load is..... 1,056! with full fuel, that 522# -- 2x200# pax + 122# bags

I started a topic on the the AOA calibration. I'd appreciate any feedback:

I created a spreadsheet that lays out the calibration procedure, including airspeeds and configuration

According to the IAP database inventory (https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/procedures/ifp_inventory_summary/) there are 6,462 GPS approaches and 1,352 VOR and VOR/DME approaches.

Sorry, yes, I meant G3X. thans You have the GAP26 on your Bravo? I don't have the HUD annunciator, just the display on the G3X 75KIAS is the target (circle) airspeed? when does the first green segment show up?

Have you taken your HR in an 8,000ft cabin pressure airliner? is it nominal? if so, then you may just be stressed (not distressed).

As part of the new panel installation, I had the GAP26 AOA probe installed. I am picking it up tomorrow, and the AOA system needs to be calibrated in the air by flying 4 different airspeeds and pressing some buttons on the G3X, as per the following diagram. The PDF file for the calibration procedure is attached. I'm looking for feedback on the airspeeds I'm intending to program in: Stall Warning: 65 -- 1.1*59 (Vs0) Caution Alert: 69 -- one kt less than 70KIAS -- Short field approach Flaps 33, P 4-4 AFM Approach target: 75 -- Normal approach speed Flaps 33, AFM 4-4 Minimum Visible: 90 -- target speed on downwind AOA Calibration.pdf
