Depends on your goal for the cooler. The soft sided ones I have used are usually good for an afternoon. We used then at our kid's swim meets. They kept drinks cold but the ice would be fully melted by the end of the day. It would lead to many trips to the camp store for more ice. At OSH, I bring my cooler that doubles as an A/C. I don't keep perishable food in it, but it supports ice for a couple of days. If the nights ever get too warm, I can turn on the fan and pump and cool the tent.

Don't do it...I am always impressed with your observations of small details hidden in photos.

As Yetti said, just need a punch the correct size to push out the roll pin. It's an easy removal/install. The hardest part for me was that at some point in time one of the roll pins was replaced with a large cotter pin. It was tough to remove and of course had to find a new roll pin the correct size. I have been very happy with the new cams, and have not ended up in recline mode on accident yet.

The switch is also the circuit breaker for the lights.

I don't think there is a one sized fits all answer here. The gear, even if being ripped of the airframe are helping to dissipate energy. Then you have the problem of, what if one digs in or rips of first? Now you are in for a wild ride. For me, in every single engine retract I have flown, unless I know the condition of the surface (i.e. road, golf course) I am leaving the gear up.

Not around an airplane, but the plastic owl my dad had to keep the Nuthatch's from trying to peck through the cedar siding on his house was so "scary" that the birds built a nest on the same platform that held the owl. I use bird spikes around my house to keep the swallow from building their mud nests on the covered patio. For a simple way to attach the bird spikes to the tail, use a pool noodle. They are very cheap and you can get them in bright colors. Since birds love to get into the rear of the Mooney, a large sponge will block the entrance between the elevator and empennage.

Hmm, mine does as well.

Last time I checked, any pilot can go around out of any landing for any reason. And since you were not in his plane it is as much speculation on your part as anyone else. It is too bad that the controllers did not do a better job with separation. Flying practice approaches with VFR traffic often causes conflicts. We do practice approaches and VFR patterns at fields that have letters of agreement with the approach and towers. Even with this there are often times I have had to spin 360s and go around offset of the runway to avoid conflicts.

Hopefully Darwin takes care of him while solo and in an unpopulated area. Zero Gs is not good for oil systems. Waterskiing...hope he knows to stand on the brakes. That one could end badly and in a hurry. A barrel roll, if done correctly, is a constant 1G maneuver, Any plane will do one with the right entry speed and altitude. I remember a 707 doing one in San Fran. Bob Hover made a career doing it while pouring iced tea. Probably best done by trained and experienced pilots. Good choice never flying with that guy.

In the south east you are likely to not see those kinds of winds. However, in the high pains east of the divide, especially in winter and spring, 30kts can be the wind speed on the surface. So depending on the direction you are heading you could see great ground speeds or you could feel like you are in a C-150. IMC vs. VMC doesn't seem to matter up there. Most of the runways are well aligned with the prevailing winds so x-winds are not always a factor.

Well, Joey Cole of Cole Aviation is located @ KDNN its about 30nm closer. I know you are looking for a PPI, but I fly my plane from Mississippi to take it to Lynn and Tamara at @AGL Aviation

Yes! I lived in NE New Mexico for 4 years. If the wind was less than 15kts we all considered it "calm."

There is beer and Mooneys in Panama City Beech, @bill98 would have to bring his own lederhosen, as they are not common attire on the beech.

If I ever need that last little bit of fuel that is gained by bouncing the bubbles out...I will know that my flight planning sucked and I deserve to run out.

It depends... I'm sure @gsxrpilotwill be along shortly for a lengthier answer

Granted they will be new, but @Sabremechmakes and sells them.

Does it smell like fuel when you open the cabin? The staining could be under the carpet or side panels. I lose some over time, but I know my right wing needs a reseal. I get a blue stain at the seam just outboard of the gear well. I am in a hangar and never have any fuel on the floor. It evaporates before dripping on the floor.

Looks like it sold in September 2017

9 Gallons? Are you running a big radial on your O?

Even your numbers are high compared to my F, also using a Sensorcon. On the ground, it depends on the wind direction and if the door is open, however it is generally 10 or less with the door open. In the climb I sometimes see 1-2 but most often it reads 0. It has always been 0 in cruise and descent.

For argument sake, if you are using the stopwatch for procedure turn, holding or missed approach timing, having it buried in another app is a bad idea. You would have to swap back and forth between your approach plate and the timer. Probably a bad idea to be heads down that much if flying single pilot IFR. But let's be honest, I can't get most of my students to remember to time at the appropriate location and they are probably flying 15-20 approaches per week and every flight will include full procedures and holding. While a timing block is not available on every approach and actually more and more are being removed as we move to GPS. You still have to time for holding unless you ask for something nonstandard. Also anyone that flies full procedure approaches using the barb or holding in leu of needs to be able to time for accurate spacing.

It's the FAA via the Smithsonian. Here is a link to the AC https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_150_5200-32B.pdf

Austin, I believe this is the thread that Anthony was referring to.

Oh yeah, that sad looking little E with bad paint and an outdated panel...Wait did you miss a chance to post pictures

Yes, Yes it is! You should see how bad Dutch roll can get with 80ish hour students. The yaw damper has saved many students in the jump seat from getting airsick.
