    this is absolutely true, birdy would fly 5kts faster when washed and waxed. paints so bad now, wa
  2. McMooney
    Birdy is 2 to 3 kts faster with the cowl closure, i already had shiny new baffles so can only tell you she doesn't seem to get as hot. think she had the extra large version of the guppy mouth

    looks like we're gonna need a backup for the backup

    mount it to the center bar, above the compass, mine works great in that location.

    wow this is gonna suck, garmin or private equity, i'd expect db prices to double
  6. McMooney
    same for mine, not easy to open thte thing when you want, if it comes open after being properly latched, something probably took half the plane with it
  7. McMooney
    I latch the thing and check when getting in the plane, never had an issue.

    My girl also has strobes on the tips and tail. Also, i'm another that leaves the beacon on perm.
  9. McMooney
    yes, you can run either/or/both. I was planning to remove my beacon but ended up replacing it with with a redbaron. Aveo Redbaron XP Galactica LED Anticollision - Certified | Aircraft Spruce

    not really necc

    if i remember right, you can probably just buy a new one for the price of an overhaul

    if the planes are in equal condition, I'd buy the dynon plane. Buy the plane ready to fly not ready for the shop. Dynon and g3x are about a wash and now that dynon has an AP STC for the K, not much you'd be missing. My buddy has a dynon connected to a gtn650 and it is the snazziiest thing ever.

    doesn't sound to far out there, without the fuel pump and pitot heat, everything being led, i really could imagine my plane being under 8 amps, even while transmitting. think the fluke and i have a date at the hangar

    second this, it's just nice having a standalone device.

    pencil is pretty useless in the plane, so much faster and easier to write in a notebook. Now at home when flight planning or putzing it's KINDA useful. is nice to be able to work on e-forms with it. oh yeah, kids love using the pencil to draw.

    connecting things isn't overly difficult, the g5 system is mostly connected with a number of 2 wire busses, can, arinc and serial. i had the whole thign wired up onmy bench in less than an hour. now snaking all that wire thru the plane while making sure it's all white and indistinguishable, thats the money maker. I really like the dynon setup, mostly a bunch off preconfigured 9 pin dsub connections between the dynon components,. oh yeah and they have the mounting shelves so most of it can go in as a unit

    McDonalds, water, gatorade, coffee, Gatorade Bottle, tablets with movies/games, oxygen( seriously this is a big plus even flying at 7/8k ) tneres alwasy tools, oil, airplane stuff

    most capable are the gi 275s, they can be primary for everything, meaning you can take everything else out of the panel. In your case, you could potentially get 3x gi 275s, ai, hsi, eis and remove Everything else except for the annunciators and buttons basically. I'd recommend Alex, Horizon Avionics@KTYS, knoxville They installed a new GNC355A for me in 4 days, and wasn't horribly priced. Great work, haven't had an issue with it

    My Mini is mounted up high on the center bar, up near the ceiling, only thing it blocks is the unreadable thermometer. how do you have it mounted, mine isn't any bigger than the yoke.

    what did you order, i just specc'd the ipad mini 7 with 256gb cellular and it came to 749 if the battery life is better than my mini 6, which is probably impossible that' it's not, i'm real interested
  21. McMooney
    think if i were based in denver and already at 5k with lots of plans for travelling locally and west, i'd be looking at the K. yes, the e/f/j would work but i'd be happier with the turbo. as for the kids, they really arent going to be travelling with you once they get older, so long as you pack efficiently you should be good
  22. McMooney
    2x g5s would really be nice, flightstream is nice. i think i'm misunderstanding, why would you ever remove the 430w ???? if you add a gnc355, you won't need the flightstream
  23. McMooney
    non turbo, so probably not relevant. I've had birdy up to 15000 without issue, one day i'll get her to 18k
  24. McMooney
    there's a couple at hooks, really nice and super smooth, really expensive hamburger runs. I imagine if you got it up to it's optimal altitudes it'd prob be awesome
  25. McMooney
    i suspect, looking at the airports i'be been based at < 75% of those planes are even flying, wouldn't be surprised if it was far lower. I'd bet this storm, going over every airport i flew out of in florida, will get a few hundred planes.
