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:

I see that often. I don’t have high oil usage so it’s just the life of a lycoming. I did notice your gear door heim linkage looks like it has a bent rod… -Don

Ditto… -Don

My bad…

Didn’t when I had mine overhauled by AeroMotors. Could look for the option at CJ Aviation https://www.mcfarlaneaviation.com/articles/cj-aviation-fuel-pumps/ -Don

A few 105s from an A10 would do the trick… -Don

DOD new it was an issue in January 1015: https://insidegnss.com/dod-seeks-sources-for-50000-eloran-receivers/ -Don

This may help on the torque info: https://mooney.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/SBM20-200.pdf pics of disassemble valve: -Don

Hum…. Fairy’s? -Don

My GNC 355 has that feature - no VOR so I’m guessing it takes ground speed and timing with known lat/long from the internal db and maybe wind speed/direction from the sensor into account… -Don

If enough room, double up the screw? on mine is the pin and set screw… -Don

https://hellensystems.com/ better get this going ;o) -Don

I have 1 and kept it on purpose but, no DME - that would be needed for many ‘routes’ too… I wonder how many MON VOR/ILS require DME/GPS… -Don

I have that movie. Pretty good one… -Don

For that money - looking at J/Ks make more sense - I’d shop around - you loose useful load on the G… if it didn’t get a useful load update with the conversion, it’s still a G… -Don

Have it and it works great. -Don

Nice cross country flight to Hot Springs with the wife today. Plane did great there and back. On the way back, Winds @ 6000 ft were 45-50 knots! Asked for 4000, got 20 knots. Crazy. On the lake is a restaurant called Fishermans Wharf - great place to eat - wife loved it and ate too much! Oil use so far is what I expected (1/2 quart in 7 hours so far). Still have a few fuel ‘seeps’ to locate - seems I need to decide between living with those and get an auto pilot or, do the tanks ‘right’. Seeps aren’t bad but it does annoy me a bit… So far overall, she’s flying great… -Don

I drop my MP by 5" from cruise MP to get a 500 FPM decent when the time comes and I still keep cruise speed. Adjust FF with the mixture control as needed. Seems to work for me — I’m carbed though… -Don

Electric here also — worth the change… -Don

Grant just had a new panel installed, so that could have tweaked something…. -Don
