  1. Got a Golden Retriever puppy. He is going to be pretty big. Anyone here fly with their large dogs? How's it go? Do you put them in the back seat? How do you get them on and off?
  2. Could make your first stop at KAEG -- Double Eagle, Albuquerque. Then skirt just south of the Rockies.
  3. Thanks! I Should have searched for this first!
  4. Flying from SoCal to Aspen this weekend. Any words of wisdom?
  5. The part about the wrist watches? I figured that sales of the other single engine high performance retractable was the more relevant data point.
  6. Anyone going? This will be my first time. Tips and recommendations would be appreciated!
  7. Me too. Both tanks. Hangs up at exactly 30 gallons for good while, then starts reading accurately again.
  8. 1. Mixture rich 2. Throttle in about one inch 3. Low boost 15 seconds, then off 4. Crank ignition and pray 5. Throttle back quickly to 1000 rpm after it catches
  9. Got someone's voice-mail. But whose? And will they know whether 4V1 has fuel? Thanks.
  10. Can anyone confirm there is avgas at this field? Fltplan.com says no, skyvector.com says yes. Thanks.
  11. Pete, would you say you bounced because you touched down going too fast and the plane wasn't done flying, or did you bleed off the speed too high above the ground and drop it in? Was it the speed or the high flare?
  12. Got about 1500 hours on my Continental IO-550. TBO is 2,000 hours or 12 years. I'm at about 16 years and everything seems fine. Should I be thinking about an overhaul just because of the age of the engine? Curious if some of you have gotten well past 12 years before overhaul. Thanks.
  13. Just signed up for the B2OSH formation clinic next month in Sacramento. Will be my first experience with formation flying. Very excited.
  14. Got plans this Saturday but would definitely join some other time. Great idea.
  15. I shoot GPS approaches without WAAS all the time. Bought my O2 5 years ago and pretty sure it has appreciated about $40,000 since then.
  16. Thanks Anthony. Also fails with autopilot engaged, i.e., autotrim fails. Does that eliminate the yoke mounted trim switch as a potential cause or does autotrim also run through that switch.
  17. I am having this issue now. M20R, STEC 55X, intermittent failure of the electric trim. Avionics shop sent a tech to look but of course it was working fine. He seemed reluctant to start troubleshooting a system that was not presently in a state of failure. Recommended having the mechanical components of the trim system cleaned and lubed and them maybe replacing the yoke mounted switch. Thoughts? Should I wait until it is in persistent failure? Can make oneself crazy trying to fix something that is not presently broken. But wouldn't want this to fail in IMC on approach.
  18. If there is no market for the Bonanza, it's hard to believe there is a market for the M20.
  19. Yeah, that's more like it. Well done. And thank you for your service.
