Charlie, You may want to Private Message Glenn. Calling @Glenn

$200 in fuel to waive the $60 fee...what a bargain.

That's and easy one, PC-12. That however is not easy on the budget.

Good ol' CV, the experimental Mooney. I see they added flames to the spinner. I wonder how may knots that's worth?

It's in the title…$400

I have a cool scoop and I made my own shades. I cut a slot in the shade for the cool scoop to fit through, it works great.

Lots of speculation...how about a summon of @Pmaxwell maybe Paul can actually help out and answer the questions of hours and the best option for a drop off.

Thanks Paul. Two hours sounds reasonable to me.

It's showing $2.95 on Skyvector, however the update was a couple of weeks ago and I now see that Airnav has it listed as $3.95, which appears to be the average in the area.

I'm based in northeastern Mississippi, only 1+15 Mooney time southeast of you. Maybe we can make another weekend work out. An excuse to fly, is well, an excuse to fly. PM me and we'll see what we can work out. And I need to add Missouri to my Mooney map. It looks like Dexter near you has a great price on fuel. By the way I have a 1976 M20F. I don't have the "comfortable" split seats in the back, just the bench. I don't sit back there however and my daughter (14 yrs) and the dogs (x2) don't complain.

When I talked to the AMSAFE reps at Oshkosh they said that there had been sales to Mooney owners, but none had been installed yet. They said they were also in talks with DMax to develop install procedures and guidelines specific to Mooneys. Maybe @Pmaxwell can update us on this..

Yes AMSAFE is the company. https://www.amsafe.com/airbag-systems/soars/ I corrected the link, they are a bit more expensive then the other options listed above. $2580

Do it right the first time and install the AMSAFE airbag seatbelt/shoulder harnesses.

Yep, they make toe socks. I have worn 5 fingers for about 11 years and have run hundreds of miles in them all over the globe. I used to get severe shin splints before I started running in my vFF. I no longer have that issue. For those that don't like separated toes but want a minimal shoe you can try a company called Xero shoes (pronounced zero) I have a few pairs of theirs as well.

You can see in the bottom left of the HSI the blue arrow which also has GPS below it. That will change based on the NAV input..ie. VOR, LOC, GPS.

They are shoes made by Vibram called Five Fingers.

Heating the AOA won't help unless the plane is also FIKI. The stalling AOA of a wing is assuming the wing is not contaminated. If its covered with ice the airfoil has effectively changed, therefore changing the AOA in which it would stall. The Aspen AOA would not help with a contaminated wing either.

Congratulations I have flown for pilots n paws a few times, all of the dogs spend most of the time sleeping. I also fly with my dog quite a bit. We were at 13k departing Montana for a short time. He didn't seem any worse for wear after the flight. Your probably ok if you stay in the low teens and descend as soon as practical. Extended periods in the high teens would not be good, although the animal would certainly sleep well.

Oh, I misunderstood, I thought you were using one of those yellow dots on a card stuck to your instrument panel. I do love being able to recalibrate the one I have now, thanks to Dan.

The problem with the small yellow indicator is it may have already stopped working. Also, it will not change until the ppm gets high enough, it won't help you identify a subtle leak.

Nope, you can hear it just fine and I fly with ANR. Remember these were designed to be used in industrial areas, not quite office buildings. I have had mine alarm several times, although only on the ground, while taxiing in formation. The numbers get incredibly high on the ground during the Mooney Caravan. Mine is mounted low, hear the heater/air inlet below my throttle quadrant. On a normal day, without other aircraft around, I see 1-3 ppm on the ground with the cool scoop out and door open. In flight it reads 0. I check it regularly in flight. If I see a reading other than low single digits in flight, I will be heading for the closest airfield not waiting for it to alarm.

I have seen panel, belt and roof. @gsxrpilot uses his go-pro mount on the roof. I use some 3M command Velcro to hold mine to the panel, this allows for easy removal for calibration.

no, it just closes off the bottom of the guppy mouth.

I find it interesting that expendable income pilots do not see the utility in checklist usage, yet professional pilots use them.
