That's a great deal. Can't speak to the plane itself but it's priced very fairly for what that poor owner has into it. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I'm really excited about that one. I'll fumble around the site this evening and see what else Santa needs to order too. Appreciate the link. Thanks Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

See that's what i tell my wife. People don't raise their kids right anymore. Kids survived all that back then. Why can't they still survive all that now? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Love it. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I wanted to get a 2 cycle 50 cc dirt bike last year for them for Christmas. They're not ready for that yet then or now. No kids of our own yet so i keep forgetting the age limitation thing, hence my ask here. I'll look into your suggestions. Thanks Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I'll fly in if the weather allows Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Last year we got my best friend's kids a couple science experiment type gifts for Christmas. They loved them. They're enamored with my plane so i asked their parents if they might do a model plane kit. They thought it would be cool. So asking the group, does anyone know of an age appropriate elec or gas airplane kit for a 6 and 7 year old? Am I starting them on this too young? What all aviation wise did you all give to kids you loved at roughly this age? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I'd join if the date/weather agreed with me. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I bought my E sight unseen (never flown in one either) and redid the panel before I ever flew it. I’m more impulsive than most though. We happened to do the deal while in Hawaii, had my business manager drop off the cashiers check to the airfield when it was delivered. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Isn’t the safest bet twofold. Fly weekly or pickle it? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I would really rather have the GFC500 than the trutrac but they are making the decision easy Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Nice plan! Wave goodbye to all your money. Wanted to add 3 things. 1) glad to see the EDM going in. You'll love that as much as any other changes. 2) I have the airgizmo ipad dock horizontally in about the same area and its honestly a waste for me. It's a cool toy for whoever is F.O. but presents me almost no functionality. If i ever redo a panel again, i surely wont waste space in the panel for the iPad dock. Just yoke or center pillar mount it. 3) if you want more help justifying the ifd540, you'd also need a fs210/510 to match the built in ifd540 functionality. It's approaching a dead wash to get the better box when you look at it this way. And ditching the dock should give you the capital to go 540. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I've been using this mobile site alot recently. Great for finding the nearest GA airport to any given land destination. https://wheresmyairport.com/ Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

That was the case still yesterday when mx checked out the issue. He called the damaged part a contact but said it was essentially what i was calling a solenoid. Said it was old and potentially had some corrosion but my hard workout likely did it in. Need to replace that before he knows if there is starter damage too. Appreciate The group's feedback so far.

Hot start fuel at idle cutoff and throttle at idle too? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Was up flying this afternoon and got 2.7 hours hood time with my instructor. Came back to Dayton International to briefly touch down and pick up a buddy to go check out the fall colors around sunset. Outside air temperature was about 40 degrees and the plane sat for about 15 minutes before we got back in to try and restart it. I tried the hot start procedure and that didn't work. So then I flooded it thinking I could do a flooded start procedure. That didn't work. So all said and done I cranked on it for probably 2 or 3 minutes. And at the end it sounded like the starter stuck. So we have it running and the engine monitor is yelling at us low bus voltage. So it keeps draining down from 11.8 and finally terminated at 9.5 volts while putting out two positive amps. Talk to the mechanic and he thinks I melted the starter solenoid because when you flip on the master it automatically engages the starter. Really hope that we don't have a prop strike tomorrow in the maintenance hangar. Obviously a rookie mistake. What procedure would you have done in this situation? It obviously wasn't a cold start and like I said I initially tried mixture at idle cutoff and full throttle which is normally a very successful hot start procedure for that plane Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Supposedly trutrac is doing the mooney test flights as we speak. I'm planning on doing my annual early this winter so we can put one in at the same time. Truth be told I'd rather the gfc500 but with Garmin 86ing the short bodies they made the choice for me. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I'll take on with the "correct" tail in 12 months. Due in May, should be on his / her own plane at 7 months, right? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

It's the weekend. No worries. Thanks Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

That is so weird. Like you said, your units don't die but man alive I swear to you we had nothing Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Didn't your 201 just get sold? What are you installing the trutrac in now? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

New one is in. Works great. Glad to have such a great piece back in the plane. It does take some absences to make the heart fonder. Thanks for taking care of me. Josh was going to ask for feedback once you get the damaged one back. I'd love to know what happened just 60 hrs into its short life.
