  1. I started in 1986 in Germany, we had battery powered, came back to US in 1988 for flight school, it was all self supplied battery operated, if you were wealthy you had a 4 place and not a splitter wire on the 2 place. I think I had a sigtronics! Oh and a nice pair of David Clamps, painful but reliable. And a old school flight case!! And nos charts in a cardboard box, rich folks had Jepps. I couldnt wait to get to do Jepp updates until I had to do them! Oh those were the good old days.
  2. So many people making changes over the years, without using proper research and documenting what they have done. If your concerned about oil quantity, during next oil change, after letting each quart settle, make YOUR mark on the dipstick, 4,5,6,7 Quarts
  3. In 2005 I took a new corporate job, they were flying a Old falcon 10(very loud aircraft with lots of wind noise) without headsets, yelling back and forth and radio over the speaker , After first flight I told them this is not going to work for me and maybe we should use headsets and the intercom that was installed in the aircraft, they were surprised that the aircraft had an intercom they had been flying this aircraft for 10+ years and never knew. I am sure the passengers were relived not to hear all of the yelling from the cockpit anymore haha.
  4. I would like to see the mooney that When in trim , in level flight, that slows down in airspeed, when power is reduced and trim is not touched please show a video of this. I want to see it

  14. Don't over wind these clocks, meaning don't wind up to the stop tightly. In my early days of flying it was said if the wind up clock don't work, you don't fly the plane.
  15. Clean all your connections ! All of them! re tighten them properly. If your master relay is working its working, check of voltage at battery side of starter relay for considerable voltage drop, you stated your power turns on but your your starter is turning slow I would start at the starter, is it old, worn out, drawing high amps, when was it replaced. My .02

  18. Where’s the dude that uses a large spring to replace the slider on the door. Some older Lake Aircraft used a large spring to hold their cabin doors open. Works great, stable, hold door and pull on spring to close
  19. As stated prior. Make sure your throttle is reaching the idle screw, no binding in cable, not moving in the clamps, have intake reviewed for any leaking, ensure mag timing in correct, then have your idle and mixture set 700-750 when warm to normal temps. landing with 1000 rpm will result in a very flat extremely long landing and probably a non flaring 3 pointer and could result in a nosewheel bounce, it you try and force it down. Just remember each knot above proper landing speeds equals 100 foot of additional runway needed My .02 is this is a non flying airplane until repaired
  20. How about some panel pictures of these dual G5s for us other F owners, Ive got 1 and will be installing another but will cut a new panel.
  21. Yes that’s how I have done it in the past.
