I’m N2652W… -Don

Hum, N2651W?

That is gonna make someone very happy - GLWS… -Don

Don’t forget new panel… -Don

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

Right, I get updates from my GNC to ForeFlight when I make changes in the GNC - AC is clear as mud there… -Don

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

@gwav8or, you may have an option now! -Don

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

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

Could also try BAS Parts, Maxwells, or Lasar to see if they have a line on one… edit: I see you checked BAS and LASAR… -Don

Ouch.. not a big help there… I wonder if David @Sabremech has the cluster from my plane still - of course it’s from a 66 -Don

If Lance doesn’t take them, I will… -Don

Lots of fun there! -Don

Started clearing up by around 9:30. If I got to Mesquite 30 minutes earlier, I could have shot 2 or 3 more. Clouds were about 5-600 ft thick.. Fun to cloud surf! -Don

Approach practice this morning! Had to get up early before the ceilings lifted. Got 3 at least. Plane is doing great - almost 10 tach hours since cylinder done. Just barely under 6 qts now. Temps great, engine is running great. Need to plan another trip soon! -Don

Not tried it, just assumed I had to expand since TEC routes didn’t show up. Worth a go next opportunity! -Don

In DFW, an F was going for $200 per hour - Zulu Aviation FYI that was wet though…

I have a little in my C when I preflight it. Left right test shows a bit of wiggle - no up/down though. I’ve not noticed any issues in flight and I’ve not discovered any maintenance specs for it… -Don

I just load the TEC route in ForeFlight and then click the TEC route in the Flight Plan window and select expand. It will put all the waypoints in the flight plan. Then I push the plan to my Garmin (GNC 355 in my case) but if you get flight stream for the 430, you’ll be able to do the same. -Don

Can’t wait to see it all together again! -Don

No issues so far! -Don

I use a racer mat - about an 3/4" thick 6’x2’ - at the time it was $30 but now is $66:

My GDL82 is above the co-pilot pedals:
