Have you verified your dipstick to actual oil in the engine? I just did and found that the dipstick reads one quart low from what I put in. So, reading 6 quarts is in reality 7. Just found it interesting.

I don't know where you heard about that reputation and I certainly have not seen it other in isolated situations. It's these situations that need to stop the fighting and bickering. This is the single BEST place to talk Mooneys and it's important for all of us to make it a welcoming and productive place for Mooniacs to hang out and share experiences (good and bad) that others may glean valuable information. I'm sorry if someone made comments about your weight. That's not right in any fashion. Also, if you went back to all of my posts, you will see that I have not attacked or said negative things about anyone personally. Including you. We want everyone here, let's help this forum have a really good vibe.

@Aaviationist I don't have a dog in this fight at all, but I have seen too many good and productive participants on this forum leave because of personal attacks. Yes, tons of people have differing opinions and that can be healthy and hopefully sharing these differing opinions, we learn. Personal attacks are different that just having differing opinions and are not welcome here. Please change the tone before more people leave.

Like @Niko182 said, it is the bottom of the filler neck. If you turn your plane into a screaming eagle, those filler necks can be removed or forgotten plus a higher UL and higher HP.

Can you be more specific? Maybe a picture of what you are looking for?

This has helped me a ton!

Vernatherum stuck?

Your fuel injection system needs to be tuned badly by an A&P that knows how to do it or can reasonably follow the instructions to make it work. Once one part is tuned, it whacks another part so it is a constant back and forth until it's perfect. Mine will now idle correctly at 600 rpm.

I just installed a slightly used IO550N from the IO550G. The new engine had the skytrack lightweight starter which is new but with the advice from the crew here, I decided to keep my heavy energizer starter and when it finally fails one day, will rebuild it. I do have a slightly used lightweight starter I could sell....

I for one would love to install water/methanol injection and run mogas. It would only be used for a sort time every trip on climb out. Now if there was an stc for that on our planes...

Yes, the challenge has been sorted. The biggest and first thing I did was install fine wires top and bottom. 10/12 Champion spark plugs failed the ohm test. Then I did have the fuel pump replaced and then what I later learned the importance of having the mechanical fuel injection system tuned annually. With all of these things, the plane runs perfectly.

I run from KCOE to KSHN over the cascades regularly. I do have the screaming eagle with a glass panel an FIKI. My forever bird. FIKI was a must for my purchase and have had a very good dispatch rate. This includes flights to Provo Utah. I don't have any experience with the turbos of which I have heard that once I try one, I'll never go back to NA. It has an incredible UL so there really is nothing to not like. With all of what has been said, what is your budget? You know how much we love to spend other people's money!

I installed an LED on my plane and there is so much truth to this statement.

You will have to remove the kick panel and remove/replace from inside the airplane. It's a tight fit but if I can do it, anyone can do it.

I was just a tad late to the party. I contacted operation airdrop and was told to stand down for now. Certainly a missed opportunity.
