  1. always full, never fly with more than 2 passengers. Matter of fact, can't even imagine getting 4 people in an E model, think it's physically impossible
  2. so wish someone would've warned me, changing a bracket filter is just gross. there is some gooey chemical applied to the filter that's extremely hard to get off your hands, wrench, screwdriver, drill, etc.
  3. hehe would be an absolutely huge phone 8) it's a Samsung s2 8.0 tablet
  4. here's one, Def have to go back.
  5. Maybe, so darn turbulent going up and out, I didn't think to take a lot of pics. btw, the decal is a hit at the FBO's, wife likes it also
  6. I SURVIVED, seems no sleeping allowed in Vegas. Birdy performed wonderfully, lost the filter media in the air-filter. Anyone know the correct replacement media? can this be replaced with a more modern filter, I wonder how much dirt a piece of black foam can catch? Landed at Henderson, Really really nice people. 50$ taxi ride not so much. Drank and ate at the Skyfall lounge, man what an awesome spot, Perfect views of Vegas. Def have to go back, 2 days just wasn't enough time. Oh yeah, on the way back, noticed KROW was right along the flight path. YOu know I had to stop. unfortunately, no spaceships, aliens or x-files anywhere, bummer; there was a CLOSED UFO museum. Big-D's Downtown Dive, GREAT BURGER.
  7. First leg done Houston to Phoenix Vegas tomorrow 8hrs of flying it makes me cry when the Mooney does 101 it's Damn headwinds Stopped at kpeq for fuel nice people but hotter than Hades think my tires melted to the pavement
  8. Tomorrow i'm heading to VEGAS, my first time. Any tips? which airport is recommended? Any sites I shouldn't miss? not much of a gambler
  9. splitter on a gps antenna? is that legal in aircraft? that would be ideal
  10. I'm just trying to avoid more warts on my girl, already have one for the stratus adsb
  11. unfortunately, it's only comm, I need gps and comm.
  12. anyone know if a comant 2480-201 will fit on a m20e (replacing the 7 antenna) without extensive mods ? would really like to avoid punching more holes in the plane for gps antennaes
  13. standard case, over the visor
  14. how much are these, almost time for my annual
  15. Thanks for all the help, carusoam is probably dead on just need to bite the bullet. Gonna try flying with one radio this weekend. CB Forever looking at installing a Garmin 300xl and new to me audio panel after annual. might add a gns-480 if i can find one.
  16. Do you think the gmu11 can go on the avionics rack in back next to the Britain magnetometer?
  17. mx-170b and kx-170b, the kx-170b ( com2 ) seems better than the mx-170b com1 no only i hear static, atc can't here me at all when it happens
  18. so sunday, an absolutely perfect day for flying in Houston, I randomly decide to fly to Lake Charles, LA. take off, everything is great, get to altitude no problems, descend to approx. 3500, radios are nothing but static. Mind you I'm on flight following, ATC was NONE TO THRILLED. fly for a while, static goes away, switch to lake Charles approach perfect. On the way back, everything is initially perfect. absolutely clear thru the climb to 8500 and cruise. I switch to Houston approach (132.375 ) or something, static and drop outs. ATC gives me a what for then drops me from flight following. I need to get this fixed, its more than a little disconcerting when the radios just randomly decide to work. any ideas? really hate the idea of spending a bathtub of cash having someone experiment looking for the issue. I'm not sure what to do, or even how to proceed.
  19. actually, i'm based right next door to IAH. Planning on getting the required touch and go in on an IAH runway this year. Just thinking if this becomes popular, why not have the capability.
  20. Just noticed all the GBAS approaches for IAH, any chance us little guys will ever get that capability?
  21. What could possibly make an antennae go bad? I do want to upgrade to vhf/gps combo antennaes anyway. I really need to do something, ATC was alittle upset with me last week.
  22. How many wicks are necessary ? can i add a few to the non control surfaces portion of the plane ? wingtips, above below rudder, out side sections of empennage, etc ?
  23. MY Samsung tablets with Garmin pilot are bigger, smoother and way more useful than anything i know of panel mounted.
