Drinking not so much anymore , Nashville I will look at . I am sure a DR will chime in and say don't worry about the Zika virus , but we are worried about it lol that's why I was thinking north . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The wife just got pregnant and we are looking at taking a four day weekend in early October . With Zika all over the south seems like that would be a bad idea so I am looking off to the north . We would like it to be within about 4.5-5 hours from KLBL in the 231 . Any ideas . Not California please .

Did you happen maybe to find two "vacuum pots " or can you point me in the right direction? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

I have heard of people using tape on the rubber to fix the hole . Mine was to far gone for that . If interested in that drop me a pm and I will tell you where that info came from . I am interested on how your conversion to electric goes if you go that route . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

That's how mine failed on my 84 231. All at once , working good on the last flight then just nothing . The bad news is the vacuum pod is where the leak is usually and I have been looking for a pod for almost a year . The vacuum pod is made by Britten industry's in Oklahoma if you need the contact info just drop me a pm . Last I heard from Britten is they were hoping to have some made by the end of this year Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

The Inter cooler is stc'd but it does not give me a new chart it just says to decrease MP by .5 inch for every 10 degrees of Cooling . So I took that to mean use the chart on the visor and then subtract .5 inch of mp for every 10 degrees of cooling . Just for clarification the STC is what they put in the POH ? And sorry about this next question but can you define turbo controller ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

My understanding is that you get the mp and fuel flow off the visor then you have to subtract .5 inch for every 10 degrees it's cooling . Am I reading my supplement wrong in my POH? From there is how I got to the above mp by leaning to peak. That's how I was running was peak. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

The Intercooler was cooling 60 degrees so that lets me drop an additional 3 inches of mp Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
On Saturday we went over to ADA Oklahoma for my wife's grandfathers 84th birthday . Made his day that we flew in. All his grandchildren showed up but one . Man down in that heat and humidity that plane climbs kinda slow . Always seems like a pig down low . I included a few generic pictures . I sure wish I took better pictures or at least had better landmarks to show you . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So this is how I was running on Saturday . Seems like I could have leaned a little more . Seems like I can't get the speeds I have seen some of you guys posted . Looking forward to your input. I am running an Intercooler . No Merlyn waste gate . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

M20K - Leaning and Engine Temp Practices
N5756v replied to SkyBound's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
So I am looking for some Input . I have a 231k with an Intercooler. The Intercooler was cooling 60 degrees witch let's me drop my mp an additional 3 inches so on my last trip I was running 26 mp and leaned it out 50 LOP on the TIT . This is how your supposed to run it? My fuel flow was almost all the way down to 8.2 gallons an hour . That seems a little low but what do I know . But all my temps were good . Does this sound like it's right? Can somebody even tell me what info I need to be keeping track of? I have been reading some articals on this stuff and just making sure I am on the right track. Let me know if I need to move this to anouther thread please . -
Guess I should have tried to remove it and download it from the cloud before asking a question . It's all fixed
