  1. $2300 m20K 600 hrs IFR and Multi. it really got better after I crossed 500 hrs
  2. oh man, check the obvious the alternator and coupler. Usually the coupler craps the bed and starts slipping, I replaced both and it still happens sometimes. I read that some couplers from aircraft spruce don't last very long. Mine tends to do it more on a heavy rain, then it goes away.
  3. definitely United FS at KWVI
  4. funny you say that, when I emailed mooney about this shit show one of their comments was: "I wonder if there is anything going on with the aluminum itself, I would hope they did test, but you would think they did test on the paint and sealant as well…"
  5. I did not, but I actually did something different, i filed a claim with the county to lower the value of my plane and hence the prop tax in California. Since the fuel is sold by the city thus the county it’s their fu.k up, believe it or not i got an email today and they will, now we are just negotiating by how much
  6. Thank you all, I do climb full power and my cylinders tend to be on the cooler side 350-360. I may experiment a bit but def will be doing more research through the forum
  7. So I usually run 31/2500 and 13.3FF 125 ROP (TIT). I was looking at the attached chart, can I really go 90% power? Like 35/2700?
  8. I actually got an email from their CEO who wants to connect, it went to spam "no pun intended" so trying to connect with him see what's up Gabe
  9. If G1 passes I will sell the plane. I am not putting myself or my family in it w/G1
  10. should be interesting to see what GAMI has to say.
  11. totally....and if you do have a leak....that you may not see....then forget it.....also, the stains around the drain valves are bad. basically those spots are bound to be brown. On the upside, I just had my engine data analyzed by Savvy. All looked normal during and post G1. I did not do their profile and we only had 4 data points w/G1. Cruise settings: 31MP, 2500 RPM 125 ROP (TIT) 13.1-13.3 FF Temps with G1 a higher but from what Savvy has told me it is to be expected as the fuel has higher energy density for volume, so they would expect to see more temperature for the same FF settings. I am sure I am opening a can of worms here but just passing data as it was given to me.
  12. the fact that several aircrafts, at least 8...I heard up to 20. have had issues and the common denominator is G100UL, it means there is something there....at the very least several sources including JP has said this fuel contains a lot of aromatic and it's hard on paint. "There are components that react w/UV and can stain the paint"....not my worlds. So putting tanks aside, you are left dealing with damaged paint unless you are there to promptly wipe it off....the lack of transparency is the reason we are here. no-one will convince me otherwise
  13. so I put some fuel into a container...by now means this is scientific, I put about 5-6oz left it open in the garage, 1. there is still some liquid 4 days later ...2 . what's the black stuff behind? Mike L had the same black stuff in his videos.
