AWESOME! What model?

Guess not from today but Saturday. A couple of friends flew up and we did some picture taking quick flight but was fun. He was way better at taking pictures. Then my friend flying right seat......

Or get creative with a blind man welding with a cheap welder & grinder because spruce is closed on Sundays....

Awesome Day in the air! TFR cleared out the sky pretty well. Never have I seen so little traffic over LA! Think I heard 2 other GA aircraft on with ATC. Beautiful flight after 6 weeks of no flight time. This work thing sure is cutting into my flying.

Plasti Dip Spray, Multi-Purpose Rubber Coating (Multiple Colors Available), 11oz, 11203-6 Spray on liberally then sand down to shape.......That easy...Its multi purpose

I agree with this post. That is the correct alternator kit SAL 12-70 (for the O-360 and Io-360) The STC allows to keep the 50amp breaker or upgrade the cable to it and change it out to 70amp... Posted on another thread to get a plug in cigarette lighter voltmeter (with usb charging ports of course) because IMO knowing volts is more relevant than amps. A quick look at the voltmeter tells you where your battery is, before start 12V after start should be in the 14V range then you know you are supplying whatever you need. Mine reads 14.1V no matter how much I have on. I swapped to this kit and am happy. Generator would've been a lot cheaper but charging at the lower RPM is awesome. As is the 4 extra LBS in UL I was able to get. The only part I disagree with is " but, it is pretty low and climbs with rpms until it produces max power..." This has not been my experience at all. Once my engine is running my battery is charging this is where the plug in voltmeter comes into play. The ammeter may show 0 or a negative but if your reading volts and the reading is >12V you know all that the needs of the electrical system are being met and you have more power than required because there is no draw on the battery. Also with the STC there is a switch (to test) and a light. The light illuminates when the alternator is not producing power to the buss.

Hope all involved are ok in the end results. Gotta love the Mooneys chromoly tube cage! But I don't know what they got wrong the article or the picture..... A small plane crash landed on Route 50 near Freeway Airport in Bowie, Maryland, late Thursday morning, injuring two people and snarling traffic for miles in both directions. Authorities say it appears the plane had taken off from from the nearby airport when it crashed into a car on the highway shortly before 11:30 a.m. Two people who were inside the car that was struck were taken to the hospital with minor injuries, according to Prince George’s County Fire and EMS. Two people who were inside the plane were evaluated for injuries but declined to be taken to the hospital. Photos from the scene show small Cessna in the shoulder of Route 50 at Church Road, alongside large pieces of debris, as well as a silver Nissan with its front end smashed in. Maryland State Police said the Federal Aviation Administration was headed to the scene to investigate the crash.

The decision would probably come down to paint scheme....

Sorry Im bad with my category and class recognition those guys should totally give up their hangars

Chutes are for planes that can't recover from a spin.....

When I went to spruce a couple of months ago they were out of cases and told me they would now be 6packs. I inquired as to Why? Was told that Shell's largest volume buyer (Wal-mart) Was no longer going to buy cases of 12 only cases of 6, therefore to cut back on package manufacturing they would be only offering cases of 6. Also BTW price is going up for repackaging .... This is what I was told by employee @ spruce.

Since then my vacuum gauge is reading 4.5 when before it was set to 5.0. Weird. Any ideas? Ahem. Sane ideas? When was current vaccuum pump installed? If it's been 500 hrs or more than a few years think about replacing (prevent) especially if you do alot of IFR or be prepared for a vaccuum system failure. I've been in 2 seperate aircraft that the vaccuum pump failed once as a passanger, once pic luckily both times, able to raise my eyes from panel and all was well. Not always the case Quote

Looks like a day enjoyed

Improbable, but also worth looking around vacuum pump that it is seated all the way gasket looks good and nuts are torqued. One on the bottom left is especially fun and easily accessible. Hope you find the culprit.
