I'm in hangar 6. Only been there about a month. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

The GFC500 features seem to be comparable to say the 3100 but the new install sticker price appears to be quite a bit less. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Small world. Was driving away from my hangar this morning and saw a lovely plane in the back of the maintenance hangar. I stopped, got out, and checked her out. Googled the tail number and found her here. Amazing paint job in person.

If this isn't the right place, sorry and please move. Im considering one 50% partner in my 1964 Mooney M20E. Insurance said plane books at $69k, we have obviously more than that into it with the recent panel redo. We own the plane outright and will be putting it in an LLC if this idea goes anywhere. Idea is coming from a few different places that I can explain to any interested parties. Plane is hangared at ASI in KDAY and that's non negotiable to me.

Lol on blood. Was reading up on donating plasma for one of my broke employees and found they pay you by your body weight. I always tell my dogs to get a job. Am thinking that the 200 lbs between my dogs might allow them to donate... always an opportunity for your dogs too. [emoji53][emoji1] Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Seems to me that among the reasons new Cirrus planes sell so well is the "feel" and "look" - did anyone see how gaudy the 7000 edition planes were? But they're limited run that provably commands a stupid premium. Bringing Porsche on board to nail the interior, paint, and special edition dramatic effect seems to make great sense.

Congrats on redoing your panel! Way more courage than me doing it yourself. It's great seeing money and life being breathed into these oldies. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I’ll one in I’ll never buy if it helps the group Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So there's down time for the upgrade? If its just plug and play, why not have the max on hand secured with a core charge that gets refunded once your old one is returned. I'd imagine a core charge would be preferable to waiting for most aspen owners - id bet most arent hard for cash. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Just saw this when i checked into Facebook. Still seems lacking compared to g5s and gfc500 Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Seems like a lot of times in business the one with the most cash wins. Hate that this seems to be the case here too. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

“We think this is a great upgrade path for 14000 owners” = we really need every one of you to send us $2995. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Made me think of this blog I read recently. https://blog.eosworldwide.com/blog/spreading-true-rumors Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Rumor on the playground is that an Aspen will provide Trutrak ILS capabilities. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Gotta be honest for the price it seems pretty dang sweet Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Really seems like the GFC500 is goong to be the best inexpensive digital autopilot coming near term. That requires a g5 or 2. Brining this back up to see if my ifd440 will work with dual g5s and a gfc500.

Should have went the CB route and hand propped it until you overhauled the engine. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

That's exactly what works on my E too. Found a check list here that listed that and showed it to my instructor. He said it would never work. Sure as snot, it does. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I was finally able to get this plane out of KSCA on Saturday, July 14th. Mechanic said initially Mid January. Only 6 months past due. New home is at Aviation Sales at KDAY. I was really intimidated going to a class C facility not having hardly any communication experience with such a large field but its great. Glad I did. Lined up Jeff Schnabel as my Mooney CFI. Found him thru the mooney flier or foundation. Really, really cool guy and a great pilot. We flew Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for a total of 10.3 hrs. Insurance asked for 5 instructor 5 solo. He signed the complex endorsement too. 99.x hrs in my logbook and I'm now a mooney pilot! I can't say enough good about this plane. I've been giddy like a kid on Christmas all this week. Even told my wife that I would go thru all the hassle again for this outcome. Absolutely love the lynx transponder. The pma450a is pretty slick. Absolutely would NOT own a plane without this EDM900. Positioning in the panel is perfect. Still uncertain on the ifd440 honestly. It works fine and is pretty clever. Just wondering if i should have gone with a 650 or 750 / g5s so then the gfc500 plays well. Guess i still can but that's for later, and may never come to be anyways. We'll find out first clues next week but my gut tells me my wife is pregnant with twins. [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Are they actually going to make them to fly an ILS? That's one of my biggest hangups with them. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Had no idea about any of that. Just was an example about nice equipment coming out being replaced with dynons complete system. Heck. Maybe I’ll end up w a trutrac in a few months. Flip a coin on what I’ll do each day. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ill be selling my jpi 900. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Dynon is saying skyview HDX mooney approval 4th q this year and EMS and AP 2nd q 19. I'm on the fence as to a full skyview, engine monitor, and autopilot next year or an aspen and tru trac this fall. Watching the dynon videos it seems they spank the tru trac. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

New headliner and carpet is *finally* installed. Was supposed to be doing transition training this week. May be lucky to get one lesson in this week and one this weekend. Have an 8 hr drive or much shorter flight in 2 weekends to Atlantic City NJ if i feel good in it by then. Would love to fly to NYC at night on a hot date w my wife if we do fly to vacation.
