  1. please don't use we. I can guarantee that 40 gallons of G100UL broke through 4 fuel cells in my mooney. they were not leaking 10 days and 40 gallons into G100UL....all 4 are leaking......
  2. what do you mean how they work? there are 3 settings. Open, Closed and trail mode. the latter leaves the cowl flaps slightly open. between trail and closed I lose (or gain depending which director) about 3-4 knots so you are trading speed for engine temperature
  3. why do you call someone who's fuel has wrecked over 20 planes, sided with the CEH and called your mooney garbage "Mr"?
  4. nobody does but Braly will continue to believe his own BS and feed you some story about how he has the best lab in the country and his cirrus has been using it for 10 years no problem....and your mooney is a piece of garbage
  5. you need to plot it again the EGT which will lag behind it. if the EGT varies then it's a real FF oscillation. I had to deal with this so much for over a year that I feel your pain. Does it go away with the boost pump on?
  6. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aopas-darren-pleasance-will-be-stepping-share-7424995435817390080-BKOD?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAF1uvsBGwC7WF6m2RyYQmmPvJcL7bLyUog I talked to the guy about a year ago re G100UL....didn't last long....
  7. G100UL does not have an STC for helicopters so there is that. Also GAMI has not disclosed (because they don't know) what needs to change in our aircrafts to really be compatible with G100UL. Don't forget, it was marketed as drop in, staining was rebranded as "fuel hygiene" and the o-rings to be replaced as practical. There is zero guarantee that if you replace all the o-rings, reseal the tanks, repaint the plane that G100UL won't brick your plane. Braly will keep saying on his cirrus is fine....but nobody is using the fuel as evidence from the sales chart I posted. I honestly believe if there isn't an alternative they will kick the unleaded topic another 5-10 years out. I reached out to cirrus because I was toying with the idea of buying one and I asked, I am not going to drop 1M on a plane and have it grounded in 5 years. The rep (as she should have) said cirrus is working with the FAA and all fuel manufacturers and they cannot afford their fleet to be grounded. So if anything, Cirrus, Textron and so forth have a major vested interest in getting this problem resolved more so than pilots.
  8. Basically….buy braly still beating the 150 planes drum……KWVI is part of the airports that have to facilitate the Super Bowl let’s see how many planes dip their tanks with G100UL
  9. As promised please see G100UL sales from 01/25 to 01/26, as you can see sales have dropped to an embarrassing new low for GAMI...100LL to come soon for comparison
  10. they did not, I didn't ask but his words: "I have retired and the business is for sale. No inventory in stock. Jeff Shapiro " so it seems that if you need parts, your plane is potentially bricked
  11. I just reached out to turbo plus they are closed and selling the biz. so looks like my m20K will be one w/out intercooler. any alternatives?
  12. I bought mine with a 2016 engine about 800 hrs and I did a top end right away. all cylinders into the high 50s.
  13. Shell W100+, 10 year/900hrs on the bottom and 150 on the top. I do oil changes every 25 hrs. Burn 1 qt every 8-9 hrs (give or take)
  14. I second this. on my m20K the wings are very accurate when on the ground, the one inside are kinda okay more like full, middle and low.
