  2. site: mooneyspace.com is what you want to append to the query you give your favorite search engine, be it DuckDuckGo, Bing or Google.
  3. How does a Coleman cooler keep things safe from freezing temperatures, if ambient temperature falls below freezing for an extended period of time?
  4. What yoke are they using?
  5. Share a STL, pretty please with some velcro on top?
  6. Don't you also need the airframe to be approved for a specific type of gasoline? I seem to recall the Petersen Auto Gas STC not covering some planes due to airframe issues, while they had an engine that Lyco said would work on car gas.
  7. Refresh the interior while you're at it. I'm on month 3 and counting...
  8. Oh, they use it, just not for what it was intended...
  9. That opinion has already been given, don't poke the bear. AOPA has the FAA document here: https://www.aopa.org/-/media/Files/AOPA/Home/Supporting-General-Aviation/Advocacy/Regulatory-and-Certification-Policy/Regulatory-Brief-FAA-issues-new-interpretation-of-dual-controls-(2)/hgba.pdf
  10. @CoffeeCan - first of all, congratulations on making it out unscathed. That is a feat in and of itself. My question is, with sincere apologies for playing armchair quarterback, do you think that not shutting down the engine (ie. letting it seize later) would have changed the outcome at all? For the better, or for worse?
  11. They are a tight fit, to the extent that retreaded tires sometimes don't fit properly.
  12. Share the STL, pretty please?
  13. Grass in and of itself is not a problem, as the previous posters wrote; I am based at a grass airfield with my M20K. The key thing, as others have pointed out, it is an actual airfield, maintained and looked after, not a grass field someone happened to decide to land a plane on. That's what Maules are for
  14. See this: Also see this post by GEE-BEE Aeroproducts: it has info on the proper order of things (male on airframe, female on removable part). We've been dealing with this stuff for the past 3 months it seems.
  15. Don, the light strip is basically along the whole bottom front of the glare shield, recessed a little towards the instrument panel, correct? You got me wanting some LEDs while mine is out...
  16. See if perhaps Aerodon has something you want:
  17. I'm pretty sure it was some American that coined the phrase "there's no replacement for displacement"...
  18. No. You run them to the appropriate pins on the intercom. Two shielded cables per seat, one for mic, one for headphones, I'd run a 3 wire cable for the headphones to allow for stereo.
  19. FWIW, the thing I watch for when throttle approaches full is MP, way too easy to exceed 40". I watch FF as I advance the throttle, yes, as well as RPM, but MP is my main focus as far as engine parameters go. My point is that different engines will have different things to look for.
  20. The flip side of everything getting (much) more expensive is that repairing stuff that can reasonably be repaired might become a thing again.
  21. Catching up on my mooneyspace...
  22. You're talking about King, right?
  23. For future reference, the Ensolite that Foam Mart sells for such jobs is Ensolite IV-1 (PVC-NBR-CR).
  24. For future reference, the Ensolite that Foam Mart sells is Ensolite IV-1 (PVC-NBR-CR).
  25. I'm trying to decide if 0200 local time is getting up really early or staying up really late Thanks for doing this, Scott!
