  1. Hey sales guy. If you have a new product that isn't on your website, you might want to mention what aircraft it fits in. Like a M20M. And price....
  2. Yeah, most don't have the output amps required to run a block heater. You'd be better off buying a small gas powered inverter.
  3. Of course the txt from Foreflight just has a URL...I guess I can post that here: https://plan.foreflight.com/wb/share/accept/9b50ceXnrEGr
  4. Our M20M has plenty of leg room in the back sets. The seats also fold down nicely for the dogs and cargo. If you've got dogs and plan to fly high, you'll need to think of O2 or staying below a safe altitude for them...not sure what that is for dogs. I usually fly with 65 gallons in the tanks giving me at ~3hr range with reserves. It's great for that mission, but your son can't join. Even if you don't carry much fuel, you'll be over the maximum landing weight with all three of you, dogs, and cargo. Your son, dogs, cargo, and 60 gallons of fuel work too, but then your wife would need to fly commercial. That might sound weird, but that's the deal I made with my wife. I'm a big guy and we've got kids. I take the kids, she gets the day off and flies commercial with our bags. We both win in that scenario. The kids won't be around forever, so as they age out, we've got a great plane for the two of us.
  5. Well done. Two ship next time ;-)
  6. At least they have a nice tailwind on the way back.
  7. With weather moving into the Indy area and some big wind gusts I opened Foreflight from my desk to see what the weather looked like. I flew yesterday, but today's conditions were pretty nasty. I tuned into KIND tower freq. to see if any of the commercial guys were struggling with the winds. I then noticed that a M20M was taking off out of KIND, the same type of aircraft we have. I took at look at the flight plan. 60 knot head wind, turbulence, icing. N11KK, if you are out there, how was it really? I tend to avoid these types of conditions, but I know the airplane with FIKI is capable of it. Were the conditions as forecasted? Were you able to get on top? How bad was the turbulence? Looks like you had a bit of a deviation, did you see that you couldn't top it, bad nexrad returns, or something else. ...how was it?
  8. Start by adding your location to your profile so we know where you are from.
  9. What's the tail number? Nope, not Indy Air. Anderson Aircraft Service 765.378.0539 email: mx@andersonaircraft.com KAID Anderson Municipal Airport 282 Airport Road, Anderson, IN 46017
  10. Keith's shop, Anderson Aviation, at KAID (Anderson, IN) has done a great job with our Mooneys for over 10 years. He even fixed issues that a Mooney Service Center messed up!
  11. Exactly what I've done since flying Mooney's.
  12. If you can't look at a partnership as equal partners, don't do it. I've been a part of a few partnerships, in fact I'm in a two person partnership now. The only way it works is if you are like minded and treat it as equals. That doesn't mean you fly the same amount, that can be addressed by having an hourly dry rate and determining what fixed costs are equally split no matter what. However, you have to be able to agree on upgrades, how to treat the plane, what situations take priority when there are schedule conflicts, etc.
