I love my Sidewinder! I will be selling it (has a new battery) as soon as Jimmy Garrison sells my 231.

My lowest callout on my M20K is at 5ft AGL. Any way to get callouts at lower AGL? Maybe 2 and 1ft AGL?

It is the mooneyspace.com masthead banner that covers the top half of my screen, not adds. Makes it difficult to read posts.

My flaps stuck down during slow flight on two flight reviews but both times would retract after I landed. My MSC said I need to exercise the switches on the ground by lowering the flaps a few degrees, then raising them and repeat the process 10 times. The problem seemed to be resolved. During my next annual he sprayed the switches.

Sounds fair. Do you feel a prebuy should include removing the seats and side panels to inspect for corrosion. I am a bit hesitant about having the interior taken apart but I'm just curious how others feel about this.

Yes, the prebuy AP NEEDS to return the plane to original condition, but WILL he? There are lots of posts here where the plane was worse after maintenance than before.

I plan to sell my 231 as soon as it cools off here in Tucson. I will be very fussy as to whom gets to work on my plane for the inspection. It took a while to find someone I trust to work on my plane. One problem with flying the plane somewhere is finding transportation back home while the preflight is being done.

I have a similar problem with my FS 210 in my new Garmin Panel. When the 210 stops sending data, I have to pull the 210's circuit breaker, wait 10 minutes, then the 210 will work again.

I fly two M20k's. One with a JPI 900 and one with the GI275. During TO climb I prefer the JPI because it is easier to see the important data. During cruise I like the 275 & JPI 900 equally.

On my 231 I have one AOT probe where yours is and one under the wing. On the ground they both read identical values; cruising they are within one degree of each other.

I think I did but can you provide a link so that I can review it. A family emergency has kept me from even thinking about flying or anything airplane.

My plane is going in for an annual at Chandler Aviation (MSC) if Garmin wants to look at the plane while it is apart.

Thank you!

Thank you!

When cruising LOP, Mike Busch advocates running WOT and controlling power with only fuel flow. He says he even flies his turbocharged Continentals WOT. If, at say 15,000ft, we run our 231’s with Merlyn, GAMIs and intercooler WOT (or even 36 inches MP) won’t we have an overboost problem?
