Breakin oil report - what I expected - want to watch trends to get an idea of how the cylinder is doing… new piston/plugs etc not bad… not sure where they got the engine hours - those are clearly tach time not engine… -Don

And not IFR current too… -Don

G5 and GNC 355 (COM)/375 (Transponder/ADSB) are good options. i have dual G5s and GNC355, kept the BK 155 and indicator…

My G2 Insight on a custom right side panel aimed at the pilot:

I bet you do! -Don

I ran mine to a sheet that had other grounds. When I took off the lower panel, there was an aluminum sheet/plate on the roll cage, I just used that. Had a bolt and nut there so did the ground. -Don

Magnetic Interference can do that or magnetism of the roll cage in the Mooney. Sometimes laying the iPad/phone on the dash can do that also… -Don

Hum, my ‘66 has it too… -Don

Been there done that - thus why I have a Bogart. Ask my wife how hard I fell when it slipped out - lucky I didn’t crack my head… -Don

Just in case, there was an update to the db manager on my machine today. May want to see if that has been done on your machine and then try again… -Don

I have Bogarts and it is flawless for my Mooney… -Don

Took theses with my iPhone from my driveway today, totally blacked out here:

Oil change this past weekend, oil filter had 4 or 5 very small specs/flakes (non-magnetic) - to be expected for break in. 13+ hours on oil - still sent to Blackstone for a check. Didn’t fly this past weekend but have plans to this week and next. -Don

First rather long cross country to Branson MO (KPLK) today. Wanted to see how she would do. The flight out had strange temp ranges for all 4 cylinders and leaning was a bit different (the overhauled cylinder was the coolest by far). Got to Branson fine, nice little airport with Avis right there. Drove to Bob Evan’s to eat ( they have staffing issues like most places) but the food was just like back home in Kentucky. Drove around a bit, stopped at some of the overlooks and enjoyed some of the Ozarks. Flght back was much better, Ranges were much closer together (CHT/EGT) like other flights before the cylinder OH. Got enough hours on the oil to do a change and see how that is. Was a fun smooth air flight, got an instrument approach flying in to Clark Downtown Airport. Will need to do more flights just to make sure everything is still good… -Don
