  1. G5 and GNC 355 (COM)/375 (Transponder/ADSB) are good options. i have dual G5s and GNC355, kept the BK 155 and indicator…
  2. My G2 Insight on a custom right side panel aimed at the pilot:
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. Hum, my ‘66 has it too… -Don
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. I have Bogarts and it is flawless for my Mooney… -Don
  9. Took theses with my iPhone from my driveway today, totally blacked out here:
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AMXATSC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i have this on my Camaro… -Don
  13. That is gonna make someone very happy - GLWS… -Don
  14. Do you still have the pressure line from the top of the carb to the firewall? That is where we tapped a mechanical gauge to verify pressure when I was having high ranges (at the firewall)… -Don
  15. Right, I get updates from my GNC to ForeFlight when I make changes in the GNC - AC is clear as mud there… -Don
  16. https://ipadpilotnews.com/2024/03/faa-updates-advisory-circular-for-the-use-of-electronic-flight-bags/?trk_msg=V7T0HLI41GIK34ST5DH4T2D0HS&trk_contact=T7S76GU0EO106JVQRAFRT2RDBS&trk_sid=FT2TL2KJVT1QHLHOCFIFOJDMUK&trk_link=NNINR0KK5SR434GBJ3UDR30RDS&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=READ+MORE&utm_campaign=FF24031A&utm_content=Fast+Five+-+March+9 https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_91-78A.pdf -Don
  17. Support MAPA, keep it going, have a great reference tool, worth a membship! Wouldn’t need a new mag, Mooney flyers for that and, support them too! -Don
  18. @gwav8or, you may have an option now! -Don
  19. What would be great from MAPA is online archives of the ALL the mags - a lot of great info there that would be of benefit to newer owners - like what google did with old flying mags etc… -Don
  20. How about just getting a single new TSO oil temp gauge and sensor, put it in the cover where the JPI will go. Once you’re ready for the JPI, no new holes… like this below (have it in 1 1/4 or 2 1/4 size) https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pnpages/10-02443.php or https://mitchellproducts.com/product/electric-gauges-electric-temperature-gauge-2-1-4-inch/ or https://mitchellproducts.com/product/mechanical-gauges-temperature-gauge-2-1-4-inch/ It would cost about what the overhaul would for the instrument and a bit for sensor and wire up. Valid and legal replacement. Just leave the original out or, put it back in and label it inop - as a temp solution so you can fly? -Don
