    Well since my GFC500 was Garmin factory installed and that is how both the engineers and test pilots told me how to use it, I think I will continue to fly it that way. I can also say that I have not had any of the issues that many others have. I would have to assume that some of these problems are installation issues.

    That is exactly what it does. I can climb out with my feet off the rudders and the ball is centered. When altitude is captured and the plane accelerates, the ball is still centered. I fly a M20F with 2xG5s and GFC500.

    My baggage door and ignition are the same key, at some point the main door lock was replaced so it is different.

    Oasis Aero is Wilmer MN, Mooney service center with a good reputation.

    Last flight tracked on Flight Aware was Oct 2020...at least it's stored in a hangar in dry country. I live about 25 Mooney minutes south of Great Falls. My last annual was done by Jerry Gresens at Helena Aircraft. Jerry was in business before I started flying and has experience with Mooneys. He would be a good resource if you get towards a PPI.

    I am with you. I don't have the pallet for IPAs. I do enjoy dark beers. In fact, the current beer in my kegerator is a Rootbeer Porter from a local brew house.

    I assume you are talking about Jewell Aviation in Kennett Missouri. https://www.jewellaviation.com/default.htm

    It is very regional. When I was living and flying around the Southeast, the BS on guard was ridiculous. The constant "meow" and "GUARD" drug out in a gravely voice was awful. Now that I am in the Northwest guard is nearly silent other then the occasional first officer calling dispatch on the wrong frequency.

    I have the CYA-100 installed. The display was mounted into the edge of the glare shield. It is very easy to keep in your scan. In the below picture you can see the red light illuminated.

    At 16AMUs, no thanks!

    They do not do the IFR checks, however, they have a couple of folks that will come to KMRN to complete the checks. Make sure you let them know and hopefully it can get scheduled during your annual. That is what I had to do in the past.

    I believe the AD would be signed off as N/A due to part number of the shaft installed. I have a few ADs on my plane that are signed off that way each annual.

    My GFC500 was factory installed as it was the certification aircraft for the F/G. I have never had any issue with the autopilot engaging while landing.

    He bought the late Bob Belville's E. It is worth north of 100K already, and sold close to the number you claim is unsellabe. Now, will it sell for $160K after another 40K of avionics gets added, probably not.

    Somewhere in NJ, I believe.

    It is a chronological pictorial of my career covering 20 years. It was a retirement gift to myself. I designed it but let the artist have free reign with the flag and clouds. I spent 18 hours in the chair, 12 hours the first and 6 the second day. My artist is a machine...he only took breaks when I wanted to.

    Or you could actually be dedicated!

    My electric trim is only on the pilots yoke. I don't know if dual trim switches in an option.
  20. kpaul
    Nope...you need to get the plane to a shop with the proper Mooney gear tools and have them checked. Your gear is out of rig! Where are you located?
  21. kpaul
    Not in most Mooneys. No brakes on the right side. If my wife or daughter are the ones landing the plane, somthing has gone very wrong in the left seat. The insurance company has just bought a Mooney and the landing gear are no longer required for landing. The plane will come to a stop shortly on a runway with no wheels extended.

    Off to OSH tomorrow...any other MT Mooneys headed that way?
  23. kpaul
    Nope, in this case I meant would...I would recommend getting the electric trim. I personally hate the little trim wheel between the seats. I also like to keep my hands on the yoke and throttle during critical phases.
  24. kpaul
    I would do the electric trim. I love the YD on my F, ymmv. TO/GA is great if you fly a lot of near minimum instrument approaches. I have every option installed because it was the certification aircraft for D/Fs. I would give up any of them.

    That flies at Cessna 150 speeds with turbo-prop fuel flows.
