Yes I do. The GTN 750 feeds both the GI275's (not G5's) AND the Aspen.
-
It's connected to both nav sources, so in that sense it is not truly redundant. I misspoke. It does however have its own emergency gps, battery and most importantly, magnetometer.
-
Actually, I have my panel configured such that the GI275 is primary with another GI275 as backup. The Aspen is a completely redundant secondary backup on the copilots side. My wife is also a pilot and she's a lot shorter so the rudder pedal extensions are installed on that side. Interesting fact: She's never flown the Bravo from the pilots side.

That's a nice looking one! It seems like a fair price too, good luck with a smooth sale!

My WAG is $5 - 8 AMU'S. One of the difficulties will be the buyer finding a shop that will agree to install it. the recalibration of the unit for the aircraft and the autopilot in the same is necessary. Alex

I've been there dozens of times. Flight line first is by far the best choice. Also, Messina's Runway Cafe in the old Art Deco terminal Bldg is a great place to eat lunch. I have other dining suggestions if you're interested... Alex

There is a safety wire that needs to be cut...

I think it's reasonable for you to be concerned. Also, your insurance company might push back if there was a claim for wind damage of normal predictions are not taken. It sounds like this is a grassy area from the way you described putting cement blocks in, correct? Alex Bravo N1084U

Then Spring of 2026 it is then. -
Well stated, sir

Have you considered what your plan will be for maintenance at these two locations? Are you willing to stock some parts at each as well? I've owned and flown both aircraft. You're absolutely right, the Acclaim engine runs very smoothly. The Bravo's Lycoming is more reliable, IMO, but parts can be difficult to get at times. I'm very curious about your planned route on this flight you describe. Would you mind elaborating? Alex

Best Sealants for Fuel Access Panel Screws?
alextstone replied to MrRodgers's topic in General Mooney Talk
I followed Don's instructions and I found a leak that others had attempted to find and seal three previous times. Here's a few photos: BTW, the external location of the leak was several inches away from the internal origin. Alex

Perhaps his avatar has not been updated since a purchase or he owns two aircraft?

The Bravo has Lycoming

Are you referring to the engine for the Bravo, the TIO-540-af1b?

I had occasion recently to need the voltage regulator for my 1994 Mooney M20M. MooneySpace really came through! I read other posts about Consolidated Aircraft Supply in NY and I decided to contact them. They repaired mine and shipped it back to me in 12 hours at the originally quoted fee of $350 plus the cost of one transistor. Very friendly and efficient people. Here's their website for those who may need their services: Consolidated Aircraft Supply

Just to update those who are interested, Textron just shipped the new 40D23255-340M coupling I ordered in January. Current ship date if ordered today is October. Price is $1947.98 retail (shops are able to order at a modest discount).
