Well that's atleast 2 people who have called LASAR this month asking for one, maybe that'll get them moving on production.

That was me . So far BK is sending me a new unit that they're going to extensively test prior to sending. I'll swap it out,sending the old one back, which they will test and let me know what the issue was.

It could have been installed improperly right? I'm not going to point too large a finger just yet. Admittedly I don't 100% know how the system works and if any install errors could effect an AHRS in this way. My concern is BK's business model of everything must be done inhouse, hopefully I can get a quote on what it'll cost to repair. I don't wanna send it away and then get billed 2-3+k for a repair, at that point money is better spent going a different way IMO. I will reserve judgement and IMC flying until I see what the plan of action is.

Pm sent

Yea 0 trust in this device presently. Hopefully they have a cheap fix, it'll take some time to earn my trust in the unit.

Yea the standby being unreliable defeats the purpose of a standby to me. That manual helped, but it still becomes off or unaligned from my aspen even during straight and level flight. It gets utterly unsafe when turns and descents are included. I shot an email to BK, we'll see what the turns up, I avoid any real IMC due to it. Can't help but think the G5 that "isn't a certified backup" worked better.

How are the yolks and the down the down lock block looking?

Anyone have a manual for the bk ki 300 attitude indicator, my KI seems to drift for attitude alignment, hoping some troubleshooting clues are in there (realigning fix's it for short durations)? I have a Aspen PRO PFD and the ki300 is the backup, not sure why, but previous owner HAD a G5, but it was taken out and the "new" drifting KI put in it's place. Also the KI only shows attitude which seems odd as it's capable of AS/ALT Etc. Thanks for any help,

@Bob_Belville how's the install coming?

Edm 900 for me

Thread Highjack: Anyone getting a little OVER 2700? I usually need to have a half, to full turn out, on the prop to stay at or under 2700 for takeoff.

Still have the lense cover? mine on a 64 E has a good crack.

Nice, I'm excited to hear what y'all think about it. I'm about to board my flight to Seatac for the pick up of N93GG!

I just messaged AGL about doing an install for me during annual (December), hope all goes well!

So from what y'all are saying, can/should we just leave the STEC (30 in my case) on HDG mode and adjust the signal GPS vs HDG solely via the aspen?

.8? I hope

I'm interested in this, pending AMU(s), for my E. It doesn't have a vacuum pump any longer and if a secondary bus isn't required install wouldn't be too crazy.

I'm late to the party once again, is registration closed?

Was planning to visit my sister in Colorado Springs. If weather is GREAT I wouldn't mins going to Yellowstone and get some better MT views.

OK OK maybe I can come up with a list: Aspen MAX PFD, Surefly EI, Electric step retraction, IPad mount.

Sure hope it will be my forever Mooney now Correct call on the AI300 BK, I believe. Apparently it cannot be backup AS,ALT, VS. Even though the new one can display them, it would be for reference only. I suppose I've gotta keep some "steam" gauges to keep it vintage anyways.

Well I sold my previous M20E 4 months ago, told myself I should save money... Well I did that for 4 months so let me introduce my "New" to me Mooney, it's a 1964 M20E with nothing I can really think of upgrading (so far). I'm excited for my cross country trip at the end of the month to pick it up!

Looking for help, tips, tricks, and recommendations to tackle a Washington state to L.A (Lower Alabama) flight in a M20E. I've only flown MTs in Afghanistan and for HAATS in Eagle CO a few years ago, all rotary though and certainly not in a mooney. Right now my route planning is to fly nearly due East from KBLI (50 NM south of the Canadian border) until KGPI then KLWT - KBYG - 82V - KCOS. This is my day one tentative trip "best case plan" with the possibility to remain over night in KBYG if needed or really anywhere else, if needed. The plane is Stec 30, GTN650, adsb in/out, and O2 equipped. Looking to execute 28Aug-2Sep. Please let me know if anyone has some thoughts on getting over the Rockies. I'm planning to stay VFR as much as possible, going through a small layer to be higher is just about all the IMC I want with this new to me plane. Obligatory photos of my "new" bird coming tomorrow!

Nice! Bob is AGL going to do the install? I'm coming back to the mooney ownership realm after a very long 4 months! The new bird will need an annual and possibly a surefly in December! Photos to follow, post closing of the deal. Jon.

Hello, Haven't posted in awhile after the sell of 12Q, but I'm missing mooney flights and looking to purchase another. Can anyone review this and let me know what you think? Seems odd this: "Seller warrants that Seller holds legal title to the Aircraft and that title will be transferred to Buyer free and clear of any liens, claims, charges, or encumbrances" isn't really stated? The undersigned Mr. Jonathan Davis (hereinafter “Buyer”) does hereby purchase from the________insert LLC owning the plane_____ (hereinafter “Seller”), with a registered address of__________________the following airplane and/or equipment, at the following prices and on the following terms, for which Buyer agrees to pay to Sellers.
