    Have to say the brittain works great. Except for altitude hold. Whst parts do i need
  2. McMooney
    that reminds me, how difficult do you think it would be to install the brittain altitude hold. I currently have the original brittain navflite-II.

    skates this is what I basically came up with, gnc 300xl with installation is less than half the price of the 6000$ 430w. Get all basic gps approaches and will finally be able to mark /G

    stop at KEYE, it's directly across the street from Rick's Café Boatyard http://ricksboatyard.com/ really really nice place.

    looks like i'm gonna do the same, just can't justify spending a boatload for my weekend toy. most likely a garmin 300xl and indicator this year. was hoping to be able to swing a gns480 but have to save money for gas 8). g5's next year.

    Congrats, we went with general instead of star this year, 500$ discount.

    Anyone else have an urge to drive their cars on the road lines? Atleast I got in a few touch and go's today, must've been withdrawal 8)

    always top off the tanks and visually check; even if I fuel the plane myself. when it comes to fuel, Trust no one.
  9. McMooney
    hmm Monroy tanks for my E are looking more and more likely. 8)

    I really want to do this one day
  11. McMooney
    inexpensive then
  12. McMooney
    122d gps ? I want one if I can find it cheap. 300xl plus 122d gps = inexpensive 430

    sorry to hear this Chrixxer, so glad you're ok.

    what's it got for avionics? what happened to it.
  15. McMooney
    hey just thought about something, isn't the "big pull" the same way we're taught to lean an engine in primary training ? lean till rough then a turn or 3 until smooth?

    well, I have to say I've been blessed, the guy who put the plane back together after it's last gear up, is absolutely exceptional. every mechanic I've taken the plane to comments on how absolutely clean it is. both annuals were no squawks. I Only changed the sparkplugs and had an oil change. seriously, if someone could convince the guy to become a general mooney mechanic, we'd all be better for it.

    yeah, vegas, will probably be my last choice. Great flight but hard to beat $200 tickets. man that is an awesome summer trip, haven't been to mackinac since I was a kid? is there an airport on the island ?
  18. McMooney
    VFR, currently working on finishing my IFR. was playing with the long range numbers from the poh, worked great. Until the wife found out about flight aware, i'd sometimes make a sneak stop at kdua.

    I do kdwh to keye multiple times per year, would think kdto to keye would be a one tanker. I generally burn a bit less than 9 gals/hr on the trip @ 9500-11500(hot in texas) ROP. I'm def investing in the Monroy long range tanks, 88 gals in an e model is gonna be ridiculous range.
  20. McMooney
    Second Annual Down, no squawks. time to finish up the ifr and find some places to fly. Maybe another trip to Vegas ? Thinking about trying to get atleast 5 states in this summer
  21. McMooney
    just thought about it, if you are only 5'8, due to the way you sit in a mooney, you'll easily be able to fit 4 passengers in an m20e, the person in the backseat probably won't even touch the pilots seat.

    forgot about ktme, Houston executive. straight down I10 past Katy, extremely nice airport. they pull your plane under the canopy when you're ready to leave. also on the extreme edge of the class B
  23. McMooney
    living Houston, ignore the mileage, it fools you. Hobby is def the closest not bad. Ellington is tough to get to, 45 south is a beast. Sugarland, extremely nice airport, I live at the end of the runway but depending on traffic miserable. KDWH is the only airport, almost on the right side of downtown but is a bit further out. I'm based at kdwh, probably a bit biased, i'd say except for Sugarland and hobby it's pretty much the best equipped. did I say sugarland is NICE.

    I will say, I absolutely love my E n97106V. will absolutely fit 3 people, pilot and 2 passengers, i'm really not sure of 4; mooneyspace swears it can be done 8) depending on the air, the plane is absolutely stable, my cfii always swears I have the autopilot on. flies faster with weight in the back , it's stupidly nose heavy. super easy to land with very robust landing gear, don't ask. My only wish, better avionics and maybe long range tanks.
  25. McMooney
    Pearland isn't horrible but i'd probably go to KDWH. Gill aviation is great.
