Yea, that was my concern EXACTLY. The motor is very very solid and has proven reliable with the last owner (proven by mx books; not just "testimony"), but the low oil has my attention. Engine monitor, oil temp, oil pressure...all seem, well....perfect. So, I'll keep monitoring. Thank you for the insight!

I think like 15 hours...and it hasn't changed/dropped.
-
Ok... I've heard all these horror stories about "1 quart an hour" and how much oil their birds use. Mines uses NONE. It's still new-to-me, so I'm learning her personality, but she uses NO oil. I.e. I've never had to add any. Is that "awesome! Lucky you! The motor is soild" or is something off/wrong?

OK...don't mean to derail the conversation, but thoughts about a pair of G5s versus an Aspen? Price seems the same...so thoughts?? -
well may Well, this year is basic avionics upgrade year....next year will be either next-level avionics upgrade or interior via Hector.
-
GREAT! why do i feel like my wallet just had like 10k evaporate???
-
so AeroComfort is not only seats but the entire interior?? Panels and everything??
-
Ok, related but sorta not... My seats aren't too bad but the rest of the interior (panels, carpet, etc) need some TLC. recommendations? Price average?

Were you nervous before closing on your mooney?
Gatlin Gun replied to Austintatious's topic in General Mooney Talk
I JUST closed and flew my new Rocket home... It was stressful, and to be honest, I'm excited but overthink everything about the plane (especially when I now am focusing on the little, will-need-to-fix-eventually things). But remember, no house/person/beer/spouse/thing/plane is perfect. You just have to make sure the negatives don't take away from the positives, then enjoy every freakin hour flying it! -
Well, there's a bunch of votes for sidewinder! Ok...thanks guys.
-
Yea, that's why I'm asking... There's a little slope where i hanger her, and i think i popped a blood vessel. Hate paying the money for a powered tow bar, but hate paying medical bills more!
-
Ok...I know this is beneath most of you and this forum, so apologies in advance... Any recommended power tow bars? I'm looking at the Sidewinder and the Robotow but I'm open to others... I just don't wanna pull the trigger (pun intended) without some pre-buy feedback. Thoughts on ease of use and power????
-
I am, and I truly can't thank you enough. You spent a LOT of time helping, and I'm truly humbled...especially since we've never even met. Truly, thank you KLRDMD.
-
Awesome! Thank you!
-
I'm not familiar with the MAPA group...but I am curious about it now. Is there a schedule posted somewhere?? This is just a "fun" plane and not used for work, but I'm ALWAYS ready to put "more" in the proverbial toolbox of flying knowledge.
-
I got checked out by a local instructor for my bi-annual, complex, and performance tickets. I have lots of time in high performance, complex aircraft...so I feel way more concerned about making the avionics do/say/reflect what I want then I am landing or flying!
-
Thanks GSXR! I agree, but then again, I MIGHT be a tad bias!
-
Ha! Fair point...
-
And it was awesome to meet you, GSXR, at KFTG as I was bringing her home!
-
Oh! And special thanks inparticular to KLRDMD for the TONS of personal messaging!!
-
Just wanted to say thank you. Mooney space has been very helpful, and I truly appreciate it. I've been asking a lot of questions over the past few months, and it's paid off. I FINALLY closed on and flew home my first airplane and mooney... COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! Thank you to everyone in their past...and future...patience with my questions!
-
Hahahaha!! Yes he has...and the hunt for "my" mooney continues!!

I live in East Nebraska. And not sure where I'll end up at this point...

I'm in the pledge stage and trying to break in.
