    I'm thinking he was trying to pay for a panel upgrade. You know what they say about desperate times...

    That @1964-M20E sure gets around, using his Mooney as it was intended to be used. I first met him on the ramp at I19 in Fairborn OH and have seen him at Mooney Summit and Sun-N-Fun. Go John!

    Me too.

    That did it. Thanks Yetti!

    Neil, yes I thought of that. I'm fairly certain that I can find someone to swap out with me for testing and it sure beats crawling behind the panel to check connections first. Thanks wcb, yeah the tkm looks promising. I'm about ready to take my instrument check ride so I don't want to reconfigure with a new gps until after I'm rated. The gtn 650 looks like its in my future though. Yetti, Excellent point and easy, will do. N201MKTurbo, the weather has been hot and humid lately, I do have a cooling fan though. Seems plausible that heat could have taken it out.

    Eric, Thanks for the reply. Yes com #2 works (the old KX170B indestructible).

    Hey guys, my KX 155 does not seem to be transmitting. Started out as intermittent and now seems like nothing at all. I can still receive com and nav just fine. The "t" lights up when I push to talk but Tower can't hear me. Audio panel is a kma 20. Has anyone been through this? Any suggestions other than checking the RCA connectors?

    Steingar, Say it isn't so. Please forgive me for this, but I have to at least give it a shot. For the common good.

    Glad you are alright. I know the feeling. I was taking my wife and kids to the FL Keys years ago. Departed 18 after announcing taxi and departure on the CTAF. On climb out I happen to look out the window (high wing) and see an Eclipse jet fly under us about 200 feet and opposite direction. Called Jax approach and told them what happened. Turns out the guy was doing an ILS practice approach and never made a call on CTAF.

    If you are going to make adjustments, be sure to check the witness holes in the rod ends afterward. If not, you could end up with insufficient threads to hold your ailerons to the push rods. This could make for an ugly situation in flight.

    Here's where I go to recline after I set the autopilot. Passengers keep telling me how much bigger it looks inside.

    Don, as a small time real estate investor you have piqued my interest. I would love to hear your story. Steve

    Better yet, have the A&P watch you do it. He's getting paid regardless. If he's not ok with it, find one that is.

    Wrong!

    Awesome! Cant wait to see it in person at one of our FL Mooney lunches.

    You dont need the ADS-B for instrument flight. As Marauder stated above, you can acquire your rating with the radios you have. Get them repaired and get your IFR certification while the plane is in the shop. I would ask the shop if they have any IFR capable gps units that they took in trade, something along the lines of a KLN 89b, KLN 94 or KLN 90b. It would be nice to incorporate RNAV approaches in your training and these units are very afforable as avionics go.

    I've met his girl and she is real a sweetheart. Quite the opposite of his icon/avatar.

    +1 I've done hundreds of oil changes on all kinds of cars, trucks, SUV's, outboards, lawn mowers, etc. It is different enough from those things that it warrants a hands on "lesson". The convenience of doing them on your timetable is well worth it. My mechanic actually encouraged me to do mine.

    I wanted to show off my new brake fluid reservoir. The original was leaking so I had it brazed (see pic) by a certified aviation welder. A year later and it was leaking again. Found a used one and when it arrived it had pin holes around the port for the brake line. No luck finding another replacement so had to go owner manufactured route. My buddy and I created this from a solid block of 6061 aluminium. Should have done this from the beginning.

    I just had the same compass installed in my "F". Looks like I need some balls too, I can't get the compass within spec.

    Great pirep! I have grown very fond of my Lynx unit as well. I frequently spot traffic before ATC calls it out to me now when flight following. Can you elaborate on the ATAS software? I do get traffic call outs and a visual cue on my IPad, but of course it is difficult to hear with a headset on. Thanks!
