  1. Forgetting the logs for a moment. What state and what kind of sales contract was signed? Does it state the aircraft is airworthy? I get that it may also state "as is" but the catch is if it is claimed to be "Airworthy" or not. For the attorney, my guess is this is more of a contract issue, but then an Aviation Attorney that is good with contracts won't get lost in the aviation jargon and the other side tossing out Regs.
  2. The all women's Air Race Classic starts today... though there are apparently Wx delays and the first stop of the race has been eliminated due to Wx. Routing for our home town team, the Sky Queens, who happen to be out of SFF, the final destination airport of the race. Also of note, they did a video of most of the planes lined up in team order. There were a number of Mooneys in there.... Let's see how the handicapping works out.

  3. I'll toss my vote in for the GI-275 if the budget will allow. Much better instrument in my opinion. You may also look at what the G5 options are down the road (auto pilot, etc.) and what the GI275 is capable of. When you consider the wiring, etc. will the G5 lock you into limitations that you'll end up spending much more down the road replacing it (even if there is some resale value) and then having to rewire for the GI275.
  4. Just to confirm since the phone is new... Have all the DBs completed downloading on the phone? You may be looking at Online maps and not from the DB on the phone.
  5. Most of the time I just deal with the heat. But when I was taking trips down south or even down to the Cayman Islands, I had a cigarette lighter fan that we plugged in. Just something to get the air moving. When we started pulling out onto the runway we'd pull that out and shut the door, so it was not long until we'd start getting some air from the airspeed. And I have a friend that put in one of those Cool Scoops (I think that's the name) and he's happy with that. But most of the air is hitting the pilot. (Good for him, not so much for everyone else. )
  6. Does your POH show both? My K manual shows both "XXXmph (XXXkts)" so years ago when I needed to get my ASI worked on I checked with the FSDO and they said it was fine to have it changed to knots since my POH shows both.
  7. Ah come on... You can move those around and block a little more of the view out the window...
  8. I remember issues from a while ago with a Software release. Do you have the latest software in your GTN and your Transponder (GTX345?). Also as @hypertech mentioned, you may be receiving delayed TIS-B info from a ground station. Does the ghost plane disappear after a little while? That would be typical of a TIS-B latency issue that the GTN eventually resolved on its own. From there you go down the rabbit hole. Have you looked at the Public ADS-B Performance Report (PAPR) to see if your output is within standards?
  9. I don't see the usual indication that your original message was edited. But are you saying the "Asking $155,500.00 US" is the new price, not what you originally posted? And if that's not the price, I don't see any links to a website or anything else that would show me the price.
  10. What is the current price just out of curiosity (as a fell 231 owner). And isn't the summer time a good selling time? Or does it not really matter what time of year for planes?
  11. V shaped hunk of cardboard or I know some people that have a piece of plastic rain gutter that's been cut down to fit in there and can then be reused.
  12. I didn't even read who wants what... SHE WINS!!!
  13. No, that's actually incorrect. There is a THIRD NavLog page for the Performance Plus subscription that shows a fuel calculation based on the extra feature of the Performance Plus. But with the Basic and Pro accounts that NavLog was also showing up due to a programing BUG, and without the extra "Performance" calculations, the fuel could not be calculated and shown. So FF is just pulling the Performance Plus NavLog from the Basic and Pro level accounts. And I'm surprised it took this long since the question of why this field is never filled in correctly is not new. (Unless there was another bigger BUG that made it more apparent.)
  14. I hadn't noticed that, but of course they did.... On Pilot, here's the link for the recording of this mornings Webinar on the new SmartCharts: https://register.gotowebinar.com/recording/viewRecording/5427450425635572825/8939216898552200796/pete@flightmaster.us?registrantKey=4866260791280257884&type=ATTENDEEEMAILRECORDINGLINK&fbclid=IwY2xjawKtvwJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFVQ2dSYng1OE9tTXRadWJVAR7XuEmDMya3Z4bCXZ_-AagzdcRTHheVMQc5OpXlx4qhz2I9obrVd_K0rJVDTQ_aem_ORiYKjZ8xKGJIL8KqEfWgg
  15. OH... oops. I read it as the starter was still working and you were planning repairs.
