    That's similar to my Bravo as well and what I plan for. I'm 17-18.5 GPH and normally run 28-29/24 depending on headwind or tailwind. The long range tanks definitely assist in extending those Mooney legs even farther...makes it tempting.

    What was your average GPH ROP at what settings?

    I talked to a guy on BT that is selling his 1987 A36TN with typical cruise around 175 burning 15 kts. Only advantage I see is the 6 seats which comes with a higher UL but it’s a TN not a turbo like the Bravo. He’s asking 335k..I’ll keep my 200k Bravo as the 135k isn’t worth the 2 seats and moderate UL gain with the same cruise or higher in the Mooney.

    I’m out by Louisville. Short trip by Mooney.

    Can I be a friend? This is on my to-buy list eventually...

    Where is the best place to put a CO reader in the plane?

    In cruise I normally see 190-198 29/2300 ROP. Never seen it above 200 in any of my panel pics.

    I normally fly MAP 28-29, RPM 2300, TIT 1550-1580 and CHT 325-350. Gets me around 17-18 GPH...No clue what power setting % this is. I set the JPI 700 on Lean Find ROP and then go -75 from peak. I need to figure out how to do a GAMI spread check...

    That's why the FAA put in a temporary TFR over both MDW and LAS to keep the smaller traffic and T&G's out...

    Different insurer. My underwriter is IAT. Last year it was London. At renewal I had 350 total hours, 90 hrs tt, IFR rating. My hull is 240k and rate went from $3600 to $2330.
  11. daytonabch04
    I think I’m the only one that had a rate decrease...new broker new underwriter. $1000 decrease...I’m not complaining!

    If you ever come down to the SDF area, let me know. I’d love to check out an Acclaim.

    Definitely agree with the above...before buying the prebuy was done in conjunction with an annual (at the sellers expense). No cost for me for the pre-buy as the plane JUST came out of annual at an MSC. First annual (a year later...) no major expense except for an ELT that failed the AD and had to be replaced...still a manageable expense. Only first year expense was an alternator for my Bravo..

    AGL Aviation is only about 1hr 20 min flight east...great resource or Cole Aviation is an hour south...both MSC's.

    Interesting trip but I’m sure it was a blast. Glad you trusted your instinct at the end. Did you use TKS at all?

    I’ve had readings from 50-200 ppm from my Sentry in climb...

    I emailed them in October because I couldn't renew online..this was the response I got back: We are creating a new PayPal account attached to a new bank account. We had to close that account in order to create a new one. I am sorry for the inconvenience and would be happy to help you. You can call me at 830-315-8008. Thanks. Peggy at MAPA I have yet to sign up myself as I'm waiting for the new 'site.'

    I bought my Mooney without ever sitting in one or flying in one...go big or go home!

    My first annual for my Bravo was 4100 and that included a new $800 ELT which failed the AD test... I've attached an aircraft ownership spreadsheet that one of our members graciously provided. AircraftOwnership.xlsx

    They've been sharing stories mostly..not necessarily posting new pictures.
  21. daytonabch04
    They have been somewhat active on Instagram sharing phots of Mooney's as well...

    I bought my plane at the end of 2018 and in 2019 had 90.8 hours. A little less than my goal of the "owned" 120 hours threshold. 48 flights, so average flight length 2.5 hours. This is what the Mooney was made for! Most exciting flight was definitely flying into OSH. Was glad I had a relatively low first annual costs from DMax.

    Update: For my airport integrity database error I was able to email Garmin support and they reset my database download so I could read-download the airport database again. Might want to try this for the terrain one as well. I had the same integrity issue come up but for airport database instead.
  24. daytonabch04
    I had this happen 2 days ago to my aviation database for my 530W. My computer somehow restarted during the database installation. When it came back up and I tried to reinstall, I got the debase integrity issue. Haven’t solved it yet but was told to call Garmin and they can issue a one time license to reinstall the same database on the card again. Of course they are closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so I must wait. I hope with a new database cycle on Jan 2, it won’t be an issue.

    Go with the Bravo..it’s a great airplane!
