  1. Took her up last weekend, quick check of the replacement vor indicators. 34 was far too cold to stay out long ( Texas )
  2. My E model needs an upgrade, I'm planning on june/july, think you guys can have it ready by then ? the hdx looks good
  3. 34f TODAY 8) Birdy jumped off the runway like there was a fire. was really hard keeping the cylinders above 200 while descending.
  4. 1. Finish IFR ( end JAN ) 2. Add GPS to Birdy, maybe G5's 3. fly at-least 125 hours this year. 4. probably not osh but one of the aopa fly-ins 5. stretch goal -- cpl and multi 6. OH YEAH -- been meaning to take her up to her service ceiling, thinking this should be fun.
  5. KDUA -- Durant Oklahoma -- Choctaw casino Great place, has just about everything you could possibly want in a weekend. casino, movie theater, dining, bowling, bars, shows, great hotel, spa oh yeah, cheap gas. man we should have a fly-in
  6. Accidently broke my baby, where do I find the clear plastic pieces which go under the nav/strobes and show if they are working from the cockpit? what are they called?
  7. Woot Just finished my first MAJOR upgrade, well Major to me. First time I've taken a screwdriver to my bird.
  8. I understand the benefits of ADSB, I love being able to see traffic BEFORE being informed by ATC. Def get it. Really not comfortable with people at work telling me where and when I've flown. Now that's just people I know.
  9. Is there any way I can stop ADSB from tracking me everywhere I go? I currently have an appareo Stratus ESGi If you look on flightAware, you can see everywhere I've flown; it really makes me nervous. Anyone else not comfortable being tracked everywhere you go ?
  10. safety wire on the filter not on the sender
  11. Welp, after the oil pressure/temp sender decided to come loose while in flight, I ended up changing my oil for the first time. Can you say oil EVERYWHERE. I wrote my first log entry , 7 quarts of aeroshell 15w50, champion filter, open and replaced cowling, checked for leaks. 8) Can I say nothing about the job was enjoyable? I'm just saying, the guy who designed aircraft engines is NOT my best friend. oh well, guess you have to pay for the fun somehow.
  12. thanks all, I found one I hope is good on ebay. hope it works. hey just ballpark from someone who has done it, about how much would it be to have a modern stero panel installed ?
  13. what the hell are you talking about?
  14. Welp, since i'm not flying this weekend, figure it's time to learn how to change the Oil. currently the plane uses phillips xc 20w50 but thinking of switching to elite 20w50 with the Lycoming additive. what type of oil are you guys using? also, what is the part number of the oil filter? Oh yeah, my plane 1974 M20E -- N7106v.
  15. grr can't believe blue flaked, I could be flying this weekend
  16. The power supply for my beacon up and quit and instead of replacing it i'm wondering if it would be legal to just delete. my plane along with nav lights has strobes at all 3 points. from what I've read, isn't that sufficient?
  17. wow just wow
  18. Sigh, Jim decided not to go thru with the deal for his KMA20 anyone else have one? who is Alan Fox?
  19. if it's good, sold.
  20. Avionics shop finally confirmed my kma20 is toast. Anyone know where I can get an inexpensive replacement? is there anything that's a slide in replacement? also, it seems my beacon is toast, what's the best replacement?
  21. the pictures don't give the proper sense of scale. To get around all the water, I had to drive ten miles west of the airport.
  22. WOOT C130's maybe C5'S, seem to be flying in and out of KSGR. think i'll go take pictures.
  23. txbyker, what all did you have to do after the tax day floods ? did you repack the bearings? what shop did the work? how long did it take?
  24. this is from someone who was brave enough to go to the airport this afternoon, makes me hopeful, I'm crossing my fingers 8) not my plane but this hangar is close to mine.
  25. I so wish that was true.
