  1. No need to be talking to ATC. Just within the airspace. I tested it again with a short flight on Jan 9 I had no trouble passing all the required fields 0% failures on a short 35 min flight at 4500’ on the OP’s topic if I were buying the Lynx is a damn fine piece of equipment. I’d recommend getting that for anyone interested
  2. I have owned a 172G and now a 182E. I have ferried a Grumman AA5 and flew in a M20C. I have to say the 172 And now the 182 are the largest feeling cabins to me. The straight sides and the distance between the front seats on my 182 has allowed me to put a centre console that is at least 4” wide between the two seats. Before I had this installed my son who is much more agile could climb into the back seats between them. The next is the Grumman for size it worked for me and another pilot to fly from Alberta to NS last summer. It felt tight but the shoulder width was manageable. The M20 does not work unless one of us is all the way back. i am a svelte 6 feet and 230 lbs athletic.
  3. I am a lurker here and thought I’d add to the conversation. This is a test page that you can submit a flight for a test within Canadian airspace. I have submitted a few of my flights and lo and behold my non diversity Garmin GtX 335 with the blade on the bottom of the fuselage of a 182 has passed on every flight i looked at. https://www.navcanada.ca/en/air-traffic/space-based-ads-b/public-ads-b-performance-report.aspx i would not worry about complying too soon most every aircraft in canada is still using mode C. They’ll be busy chasing these owners for years to be concerned about a transient aircraft
  4. Hi. I haven’t been on here in a long time but finding this thread has me thinking that I should adjust my KFactor. I have a G4 with FF in my 182. It always reads that I have less fuel in the unit than i actually have in the tanks. I mostly use it for back up planning. I’d rather it be that way than the other. Looks like i have some number crunching to do.
  5. So sorry to hear. Glad you and your family were safe. I hope it will not scare your kids from flying going forward. Nobody expects something like this to happen. The shock must be tremendous.
  6. Wow. Maybe we can close this topic now? From being offended by typed symbols to calling people out for typing them. No more need to reply. I was just asking about buying a plane and advice on prebuys. Have a great day and keep flying B
  7. I know. I had already started dreaming of possibilities though. And the future fun to be had.
  8. Posted above before I read all the pages. Congrats on your plane. I am jealous.
  9. Canadian salaries must be higher. Firefighter here in Nova Scotia here and bumping up over 90G. I waited to start lessons until i was steady in my position and can't fathom anything on 30 g a year. Although our tax levels are higher here in canada and most everything is more expensive, i wouldn't even consider motorcycles as a hobby on 30 g a year and i was worried about a 23 g mooney.
  10. Wow. That escalated quickly. I will tell everyone that I chose to pass on the purchase. I understand the complexities of purchase much better now from my week of reading. The sophistication of the plane. The distance from me, the added worry of non moving insurance until i build hours, and the 15% socialism fee (HST) we have in my home province on aircraft purchases, leaves me a bit short in the follow through. I can't reasonably ask a seller to hold off on other buyers for me until I could get out to see it mid-June. If i passed he may have missed a sale. If you love something, blah blah blah. Also a a very experienced owner of a very expensive RG piper had a gear collapse on the runway while we were on final yesterday. Had to use a different runway,. It was my first landing! So that made me think twice. If a high time commercial guy can make a mistake or have a failure(not sure which) what about a student owner with no moving coverage- ouch. My time in a Moony will come. For sure. I have joined the Piper OH and the Cessna OG's now to look around. Not as friendly or as helpful so far as this site. Thanks for the comments and all the advice Maybe a 172 or a cherokee is a good start For a Beginner! Lol what is funny though is the guys who told me i was crazy for thinking about purchase seem to be the most disappointed. Funny how that is Bruce
  11. I checked them out. Would they operate this service for a canadian buyer?
  12. Yves. Yes I joined copa to take advantage of the rates. I don't qualify as a gold level due to being a student. I got a non moving quote for it and with liability and passenger coverage it is $700. Per year. I can qualify for gold when i get my ppl and build hours. I would probably just park the plane till i get more training hours in on the 172 i am flying. Then move into the mooney after i become more competent. I am performing stalls now and have mastered slow flight last week so I am moving on towards my goal hour by hour. I figure if the sale moves along as i hope it will, mid june is a date i may make for delivery which will allow me to have more training hours under my belt. I have added 4 more hours to my training time since I first posted this thread. I appreciate all the help and advice. Medical is done and ground school is going to be completed by end of may. Pstar test shoud follow shortly. My CFI will probably be doing my ferry home and that will give me lots of hours in the plane to do most of the flying (hopefully) although the hours can't be logged as training from what he's been told on a cross country ferry. I am not sure why. You are in Gatineau? I am coming up your way in may for a conference. I would love to buy you a coffee and pick your brain on all things mooney and eastern Canada flying. Send me a PM if you are interested. I may even try to take a lesson while i am up there if the local schools have anything else besides a 172 to train on. Thanks Bruce
  13. I am new to The Mooney and thinking of purchasing A M20G. Can anyone recommend an X Plane download for the Mooney Have any users built a airframe in the builder app that would like to share with a new Member of the forms? Thanks Bruce
  14. I am going to Bump this as I am purchasing a 69 M20G, I think. I am going to fly it back to Nova Scotia and would like to hear from some Owners here in Canada. I posted a should I buy post to the vintage owners list and had a few replies. Hope to hear from some local owners. thanks
