  1. what is the white streak ?
  2. one day flying past memphis adsb alerted me to a phenom jet approaching from below and behind, 2 mins later i diverted left and watched it go past me off my right wing. maybe missed me by a few hundred feet. If you have tools use them otherwise your're the idiot
  3. Sorry you are having such a bad go of it, i know it's beyond frustrating. I believe you're around texas, so if you need a new shop try B&K aviation at kaxh, Brian and Marshall can sort damn near anything on a mooney.
  4. they just need to go unleaded and get this over, this slow death thing is for the birds. honestly what does this mean, i buy new cylinders at somewhere around 2000 hrs ?
  5. wow, just wow. 70's and 80's all over again.
  6. Unfortunately, i'm in the same boat 8). Mine are progressive but i still get sick when i wear any form of glasses
  7. just listen to it BIFOCAL vs progressive, might as well say old as shit
  8. this shouldn't be a question, the person intentionally filing while not qualified, will do it with or without training. My first ils was with 10 or 11 hours during my ppl when a marine layer hit klvk. forward 20 years, one dark moonless night(i know right), the stars went out, while i didn't have the rating, you can be assured i appreciated every hour of instrument training i'd received to that point
  9. KMKC, fuels is not the cheapest but it's basically downtown Kansas City. all the food/hotels you could possibly want
  10. darn, looks like i'm gonna get rained out
  11. Europe I"d go K if both are in good shape. Not critical, but there are a few tall rocks about
  12. Answer is really KSGR or KHOU, due to traffic they can be about the same amount of time to downtown. ksgr and khou, are basically on highways that lead you straight to the expo center. i59/i-69 and I-45 don't bother with a rental, uber will be cheaper and easier. KDWH, not even close, nice airport but if you get caught at the wrong time, it can easily take hours to go the 20ish miles. KTME isn't really that bad, it's further than ksgr but it's straight down I10. note i have a hanger at both ksgr and kdwh
  13. i'm getting it also, makes it impossible to really view the site
  14. my m20e has it and the gad 13 mounted in the tail on one of the shelves
  15. @jeev, are you still offering TruTrak installs ?
  16. I purchased 2 gps units from Mooneyspace members, both arriving before i'd arranged payment.
  17. spoke with Duncan, they said they don't have room for me 8( but i could have it installed by any shop.
  18. even with the nice zulu headsets and super pma 8000g audio panel, I tend to use the cabin speaker almost every flight. mostly just picking up clearance and atis, more convenient then bothering with the headset
  19. should we all scrap our moonies ?
  20. Just Guessing, but looking in the service / parts manuals, my model never had lower supports
  21. Hmm, that i do not know, please show a pic of a model with these lower supports
  22. I have a 1974 E. an e is a c with a larger engine. some other tiny differences. it's faster than both the c and f, maybe. faster than the c but not alot faster than the f a J is not alot faster than an e. my E is a 145 to 150kt airplane BUTTT i tend to fly lop so let's just say 140ish. saving 10 to 15 mins doesn't really mean a lot when flying HOURS the backseats are very useable, well unless you're like 7 feet tall. i'm 6'0ish and when in flying position, the space behind me is larger than airline economy. I wouldn't go acting like an airliner but you can take someone to lunch. Useful load, not enough diff to talk about. prob more difference between copies of each plane than the models themselves. I'd really like the extra 12 gallons of fuel from the F, it would save me the expense of adding long range tanks If i was to upgrade, it would be to a k+, the F and J just aren't that different from the E. also if you're crazy with boatloads of cash, you can make an E faster than the J.
  23. take you laptop/tablet to the airport, tether it to your phone update at the airport. ok not much of an improvement 8) I just purchased online and made my own card think it cost like 8 or 9$
