    Nice video, really like the camera. For the record, I love TnG's in the Mooney, would prefer a long trip but sometimes just don't have the time.

    there is an article on the web which compares aviation oils, I think it's by Blackstone. short and sweet: if flown often, it doesn't matter, there isn't any significant difference among the majors ( exxon elite, aeroshell, phillips ) personally I use aeroshell 15w50 and keep it moving. the report is somewhere on the following site : https://www.blackstone-labs.com/engine-types/aircraft/

    Garmin pilot on my Samsung galaxy tab s2 8 inch and s4 ( larger ) work great. not a whole lot of difference between the ios and android versions of gp anymore

    woot all the bits and bobs are here, just need to get it installed. REALLY RELLY Tempted to fly the mooney to Sacremento. Even purchased new stereo Headphone jacks. Wish aviation stuff came in shiny packaging, not much to drool over. The Audio Panel comes with a warning to NOT open the box, pfft.

    already tried swapping the radios, same issue. If the issue is the ki-214 there's almost no replacing that thing. Been chasing this issue for almost a year now, over it. going to replace everything involved, radio, audio panel, antenna, cabling.

    currently, kma20 -- audio panel stratus esgi -- transponder mx170b -- nav1 kx170b -- nav2 kn-64 -- dme ki-214 -- vor/loc/ils with GS radio built in ki-201c -- vor/loc problem is between the main nav and the ki-214, not that easy to replace unfortunately. spent a few thousand last year messing with it

    It has an AML STC under which the m20e is listed. Installation will be per the gns480 installation manual with mostly listed equipment, exception being a brittain autopilot. If i'm reading the instructions properly, even the brittain autopilot would be approved as it understands standard NAV Left/Right. I have the previous 337 from when the gps was last installed, could almost copy it verbatim.
  13. McMooney
    mind translating the following for those not fluent in FAA 8) : "if there is an STC for an IFR installation rather than needing to create a "follow-on" 337 from another plane on an STC AML or having to do a 337 for an IFR installation. "

    Good old days. Went to the audio shop just a few weeks ago, they have NOTHING to even fit my new Camaro. GM has made them almost impossible to upgrade without completely ripping out the factory system and half the new safety features.

    funny, no fear of electronics or wire but terrified of 1974 plastic

    I've been thinking of doing it myself, paranoid about taking the interior out. why is a 480 a bad idea 1/2 the cost of 650/ifd and garmin still supports the unit( called yesterday ). hell if I have to do the install myself, which is seeming more and more likely I can buy 2 or 3 replacement units and still be under the cost of the 650 install also going in will be a new pma8000 audio panel to replace my kma20

    I"m so frustrated, my main comm/nav is on the fritz barely working, cuts in and out when it feels like it. Have no idea how i'm going to take my ifr checkride. avionics shops are so full of business at the moment that they can't be bothered with me. I'm a tiny mooney wanting a gps/nav/comm, guess not worth the trouble, the avionics shops don't even bother to call back or send quotes; nice to have the business. Anyone know how I can get a GNS 480 installed sooner rather than later?

    that's pretty cool
