  1. itll take a while but i have no doubt this will grow. Barnstormers is great for find cubs and all but its such a pain in the ass to navigate through the site. Can't wait to see this site blow up.
  2. my guess for the reason they're looking for a third member is to decrease the $70,000 load coming up in the next couple of months. youll pay 50 grand for your buy in and right after that at least another 25K just for maintenance in the next couple months. as @LANCECASPER stated, it seems like they are trying to own a bravo affordably, meaning cuting corners to save a few dimes, speaking relatively to the value of the aircraft. Not saying the engine needs an overhaul as it might still be running great but 2125 is pretty high, and it might not be runnout, but the way the owners have been maintaining the aircraft, they probably want a partner just to take part of the load off the overhaul price. Obviously this is my opinion. I could however be completely wrong.
  3. I wouldn't mind being added if possible. just send me a PM. Nik
  4. The jpi still going up for sale?
  5. I love the lower waist supports. what did the yokes and seats cost you?
  6. Its not the same model, but in the Eagle ive been learning to fly, I found that 70 to 75 knots depending on weight works well. 80 knots in most mooney's will cause you to float at least 500 feet. the plane does't stop flying until you hear the stall horn go off. 80 knots is just more time for the plane to slow down, which on shorter strips is not a good thing. As of now i can get my eagle stopped at the 2000ft marker. My first approach ever, (which was terrible) consisted of me doing 90 over the numbers. I floated nearly all 4000Ft of the runway and consisted of me doing a go around. I have been only flying 52q for 3 weeks so I could be completely wrong, but this is what i've gotten out of it.
  7. Worst thing about a laser is that when people shine it at you, its good to look away. However, most pilots don't know immediately what it is so they look directly at it. On my First Night cross country, I got hit with a laser. Definitely not a fun experience. I cancelled the flight and went back home. Some people are just idiots.
  8. pm me when the 830 comes up for sale please. Nik
  9. pretty painful to look at considering thats a brand new 2014 g36 and a new king air. found these pictures online. looks like it happened 5 or 6 days ago.
  10. out of curiosity how much did this install set you back? if you don't want to answer its fine. Just wondering.
  11. In your case isnt it, "once you go turbine"?
  12. Why not just stick with the plane you have. If you want a new plane, thats completely up to you, but ovations are very powerful aircraft. When i was flying my eagle from kenosha to California I just flew around some of the higher peaks around the rockies at 12,500ft. Even at that altitude I was still getting 7 to 800ft per minute. A couple people here that have ovation and eagles regularly fly them at 15 to 17000ft. I'd take a wild guess and say that if you want a turbo, youd stick with the mooney brand so that gives you the option of M20k, M20M, M20TN, or M20V. Now that youve had the 310 horses of the ovation and the long body, for me at least going back to a mid body would be quite hard. That leaves the Bravo and Acclaim. Is it really worth it for you to sell an aircraft that you know the ins and outs of, how it runs, and its maintenance history, that can still fly at 17000ft pretty good. Personally I'd stick with the ovation, but people have there reasons, so if you want a turbo get a turbo.
  13. The N cylinders were place on the O3 but it seems on the M20U they went back to the G cylinders. Id guess too many people were burning them up.
  14. I believe what I've heard from @M20Doc was that cirrus aircraft just seem to have quite a few issues with the engine. I don't know if he was only referring to the sr22, or both the 20 and 22, but if i remember correctly, he stated that cirrus seems to have quite a few more issues with the engines than mooney does. (this is from memory. I might be completely wrong. I wouldn't know because I wouldn't buy a cirrus.)
  15. Well thats the exact plane im flying home tomorrow so i know where it is now. Thanks and sorry for my inability to find something so simple.
  16. That explains a lot. Mine doesnt have it. No wonder i couldnt find it
  17. Where is it? I cant find it on the panel? Ive looks it up online and either im blind or just oblivious.
  18. Anyone happen to know if the eagle has a cigarette lighter and where. Im picking my eagle up tomorrow and expecting to be at least 6 hours in the plane and charging my phone and ipad would be great. Thanks Nik
  19. please don't get politics involved on this website. I get its a joke, but someone won't and this thread will go downhill very quickly, like all the other threads that involve politics.
  20. From what i hear, a lot of people like the top prop. You have the choice between 2 or 3 blade. my guess is the 2 blade top prop will give you a decent boost in cruise speed but expect about the same take off roll and climb. The 3 blade will give you a boost in takeoff and in climb, and I'd guess about the same cruise speed. maybe even 1 or 2 knots faster. Most importantly, the 3 blade looks cool.
  21. Is it 52 mooneys or 52 planes?
  22. How much does it cost all and done to have the txi with the eis installed? Also do you have to have a 750 already installed?
  23. please give a pirep on how you like the 500txi and the EIS. I want one sooner or later in my Eagle.
