    Was really simple to just follow garmin pilot. Actually the most annoyimg thing was flying with only a single comm

    per rule, i reported the loss of gps to ATC. as for a nav/comm, unfortunately, due to where i was when i went nogps, the nav was pretty much useless or at least very very inconvenient. previous nogps event, when it failed while in clouds, the nav did come in handy as i was near an airway, this time not so much.

    per your cfii / dpe, use every available tool. when it happened i used Garmin Pilot on my Samsung phone for situational awareness until i was able to join the ILS. truthfully, it was severe clear so would've been ok anwyay

    welp, yesterday was my day of reckoning, The GNS480 decided it was done while i was flying IFR @ 7000 ft from KJAN to KTYS. Thankfully it was severe clear and the single smoothest flying day i've had all year. Shot the ILS 05l Into ktys and pulled safely into signature. Luckily, and i mean Lottery winning luck, a very nice gentleman @Horizon Avionics agreed to install a new gnc355A in the 3/4 days i'll be in Knoxville. Have to say, i don't know if i should be Extremely Happy with the new radio or Horribly depressed due to extreme wallet damage

    so here's what i would do if i was an investor. I'd give george 1 billion dollars for his formulae and stc. after 100LL goes away, i turn around and charge 10$ per gallon, tell me what can be done? you have no alternative, pay me or don't fly. wasn't there some private equity firm that just purchased a number of airplane part suppliers then JACKED the prices up? why would they NOT do this? and as far as i can tell, due to regulations, litigation, fear, capitalism, etc... NO other alternatives will come about. isn't that new diesel engine like a minimum of100k?

    you guys should all be really scared right now, if no competitors come along we're most likely very screwed.

    The FAA letter says that the list of task isn't exhaustive and should be taken as an example of allowable task. If it's simple and straight forward, with low risk i'd probably just put it in my log book and have my IA look at it sometime in the future

    here's a pic, before i got the g5s
  10. McMooney
    Originally it was mounted far enough away where it didn't interfere but now i have G5's so don't even bother to look

    I Pad Mini 6 with Celluar, mounted using a RAM X Grip attached to the steel bar running down the middle of the windshield. Basically it's hanging from the ceiling

    Garmin pilot is pretty much the equivalent of ForeFlight, runs on android and apple. Android version lags just a bit. the differences are really in things i never bother to use. slightly cheaper than foreflight, slightly, tend to get free usage whenever you buy something garmin.

    come to the darkside, get Garmin Pilot 8)

    My intermittent stall warning was due to a bad sonalert, had my mx relace with new and clean the socket, works great now
  15. McMooney
    do both ? to be honest, i've never used/noticed that powerboost light
  16. McMooney
    plane doesnt' look all that banged up, hope they get back in the air soon.
  17. McMooney
    I want to replace one of the 7's with a new gps/comm/xm comm antennae, really want to get rid of atleast one of those warts
  18. McMooney
    forget the water bottle, i want that fuel selector. much better place for it
  19. McMooney
    you can fly lop just fine. do it under 65% horsepower and supposedly it doesn't matter as you can't hurt the engine, atleast that's what the book says
  20. McMooney
    If i had the Funds I'd go AP first then put in a garmin gi-275 engine monitor hopefully trutrak get's there stuff together before i spend on the AP
  21. McMooney
    I would complete the composite transition. maybe sell some composite parts and mods for the old fleet. then i would spend most of the money on making it possible to mass produce airplanes and lower cost. Major problem with planes, they are too damn expensive
  22. McMooney
    I have an E so maybe a bit different, try take off flaps, i find it to be almost easy mode when landing the mooney. for really short landings, final at somewhere around 75/80mph, pull power over threshold and just hold her off, you'll land and be off the runway well before 1000ft. as for not bouncing, consciously hold that nose off when the mains touch, don't let go. It may burble, your plopping down on a few hard rubber disc and a bouncy air-filled tire what can you do.

    I just made it back from ksgr, couldn't even tell there had been a hurricane.
  24. McMooney
    welp, i'm just going to say, NEVER EVER EVER take stock advice from me. KSGR is lining up to be about the single worst place to leave my girl. almost anywhere else at this point would be preferable
  25. McMooney
    doesn't sound right. my 1974 E, with electric gear has a useful load of 910+ dont' remember what it is at the moment. monroy tanks are really just fuel caps and some sealant, so that's not going to take up much of anything, well untill you fill them with gas looked into the 201 windshield for my birdy, it really doesn't add much weight, if any. no clue about speed brakes, why do you even need them ? the avionics are a wash if not lighter than the originals. with full tanks, I couldn't even fly in this plane. somethings not right
