So I am setting up a Cessna 150 for instrument training and find myself needing a 430 , where would a guy go to buy a used 430 from a reputable source? P.S My mooney is for sale on the All American aircraft with a brand new engine from Mena Aircraft Engines. For some reason I find it a very hard plane to find places to land now that I moved to Alaska .

30-40 k for an engine is high I think . Hell my bird is almost back togeather with a rebuilt TSIO -360 from Mena aircraft in Arkansas and his bill on the rebuilt engine was only 42k and the base price for the rebuild was 39k...... non of that is R&R just rebuild costs

Full stop . Your willing to foot the bill for flying back and forth to your guy to do a pre buy and he won't let you sorry walk away .

Settings for 231 with Merlyn UDC and Intercooler
N5756v replied to whiskytango's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
My intercooler lets me drop .5 for every ten degrees of cooling so if my mp is supposed to be 28 and my intercooler is cooling 60 degrees then I can drop 3 down to 25 . I have been told by other pilots , non mooney pilots that a drop of three is a little much . My intercooler usually is cooling right around 60 degrees . Now with all that being said if I am cooling 60 degreesish I usually drop right around 2 . I don't have a merlyn so on that end I am ignorant. -
Don't you carry a bottle of whisky?

^^^^^^^^ sums it up rather well . I buy insurance for a reason . Motor quit = all about walking away . Glad this guy was ok

HELP--FBO may have broken nose wheel tie rod
N5756v replied to par's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
I always tell the line guys about the no towing thing and they always say "yep we get a lot of moonyes thru here so we know". I have been lucky . But if something happens at least I made them aware of it -

Well no flying pictures of clouds this time , we went up to the Royal gorge in Colorado yesterday Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It will be Helena MT or Pikes Peak and the cogwheel train . At this point I am leaning towards Helena just so I can stretch the 231 legs a bit . Pikes peak is less the 2 hrs away . Thanks for all the ideas guys . I bet I come back to this thread often to check out the places I did not pick for another time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

There is no way my mooney would have survived my training . I am at 180 hrs and I owned my plane for a year before I had my license , listen to the experienced guys around here . I would not let my son train in my mooney, when he flys with me he sometimes " times takes the controls " but that's about it no landings . When I was getting my license I remember one time I dropped that poor 172 , felt like 3 feet , probably was 18 inches . In the mooney well there would have went landing gear I am sure of it Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We were planing on doing Florida but we can't justify the risk . So it's looking like the broadmoor or somewhere close to there Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The problom with San Antonio is from my reaserch they are having a bunch of Zika infections down there so it's out . I know them boys from Allamericanaircraft it where I bought my plane . If it was not for Zika I would be all over a factory tour . As for a new bird with FIKA and AC way out of my price range unfortunately .

Well usually we hike and try to do the outdoors . But I am very reluctant to let her push to hard . I think they consider her high risk because we did invetro. So really just looking for a good hotel and nice scenery and just relax . Thanks for all the ideas I will check them out .
