McMooney

kinda hard to imagine not having room in the C. In my E, at 6'0 with 32in inseam, with the seat all the way back I'm FAR from reaching rudders and i'm stretching for the yoke. that being said, i'm thinking bout taking the right seat out so i can have peace when the wife comes along. shhh don't tell her i said that

just had to go there, smh, can't let the touch-n-go people be 8)

Replacing the tire and shimming the nose gear fixed my shimmy. Really think it was mostly replacing the nosewheel tire that did it

15 - 20 miles, like to give plenty of warning.

Same, i add a bit of the compressed variant

I'm with you, i love flying high, less traffic, better weather and the oxygen doesn't bother me. maybe they could add a built in oxygen concentrator. I love my E but if I ever upgrade, the next plane will be turbonormalized. honestly make it a turbodiesel and less expensive than a cirrus/diamond and you'd win.

maybe think about an E, the best model mooney ever made 8). Unfortunately, i'm finding most flying to be solo. Get an E put all the saved money into the avionics

Sorry to hear about your instructor, i understand, my CFII died in a plane crash right before my IR checkride; Really miss her yelling at me. My numbers are with gear and takeoff flaps, flap speed in my E is 125mph. One of the things she beat into my head was to have flaps, lights, catmissed, etc done by halfway on the Inbound segment so that at the final you only have to drop gear and ride it in. The speed, except for a timed approach and being above stall is almost meaningless, 100 to 120 just happens to be where birdy feels most comfortable/stable. I once tried shooting an approach at 80ish knots, literally had approach telling other planes how the slow mooney was holding things up, like i wasn't ON channel. wth. also made the approach take FOREVER.

Just figured out my numbers last week, only been 1.5 years since getting the IR. numbers for my E model 2300 rpm 20 in upon entering approach area 2300 rpm 18 in before FAF 2300 rpm 14 to 16 in FAF to runway, i usually try to shoo the approach at about 110 mph. atc tends to yell at me when I get much slower.

how much for the clock

IFR everywhere. it seems to make flying under and between the Houston and Dallas B's easier. I also find it much easier to find airports when IFR 8) Prior to the rating, I had no issues flying 1000+ miles VFR, just had to be prepared to sit at times. Actually, most of the times i was forced to sit VFR, would've also kept me from flying IFR.

darn, i'd have done it just to get it off my bucket list. well next year once i finish my commercial

hey LP's are coming back, never know about cassettes, just sayin

This, can't stand birdy not being in the Hangar, really makes me irritable. Hope you get her back soon

That reminds me. Where can i get my original clock fixed. The wind up clock in the yoke

Hmm, i was under the impression that most new Ahrs systems where rate based MEMS sensors

omg that's total BS, hope they get a new bff in prison

How much speed did you get from removing the step? My hangar fairy has been lazy about removing mine

So maybe i wasn't clear. I will let the buyers mechanic inspect the plane as they see fit, as long as the BUYER pays for it. This is what i did and what i would expect of a new buyer. any squawks we can deal around. We come to an agreement or we don't. Not seeing how this is difficult

So the first word in your paragraph, NO. I as a seller can always say NO! no deal, go away, naw, not happening buddy, we're done, that's called dealing. I want you to be as informed as possible, if you come with the bs well, next man up.

Yes, isn't that airplane buying rule #1? you have the plane inspected by someone you trust or at the very least someone your are paying. That being said, i was floored when my ppi/annual came back EXACTLY as the seller represented it. No squawks. I had my mechanic change the sparkplugs just to be doing something.

We negotiate, we come to a deal or we don't. As an owner, you should know the state of your bird, Ok, maybe not EVERYThing but the discrepancy list shouldn't be long. If the list is longer than expected, maybe we shouldn't be talking.

It's my expectation an item will be as stated, otherwise we renegotiate or i walk WITH my money. Same conditions i would give someone buying my plane, you will get exactly what's stated no less.
