  1. you realize they already own a domain. aviationconsumer.com it literally costs nothing to set up another email box on the hosting plan THEY ALREADY PAY FOR. all this does is telegraph out of touch amateurs. the publication is fine. I stopped getting it some years ago
  2. Perhaps you should try flying fl180 and above.
  3. Nothing screams professional like a Hotmail account.
  4. I don't think we could get a mil smooth. I can't remember. Avemco wanted the IPC and others wanted the cirrus annual embark or whatever they call it. If I remember right the IPC had to be with a csip. The IPC was the path of least resistance as one of my partners was a csip. Mind you this is for a commercial, multi, cfi, cfii too. I are not a csip though I should become one. It pays well
  5. When I went to brand c, I had to have an IPC every year too. Never made sense
  6. At the end of the day.....I just don't care.
  7. One time I was t sure the master was off and I paid $90 to rake a car service back to the fbo to check
  8. Hope it doesn't end up in a cornfield, like raptor
  9. Our current j the seller wouldn't even let my mechanic and partner do a prebuy. He wanted us to pay his mechanic to remove panels at the direction of my mechanic looking over his shoulder not touching anything. Bizarre.
  10. Lived in Denver and flew all over Colorado. I wouldn't even consider a na airplane for that mission. Any of the turbo mooneys will be fine. Had a 231 and it was fine. Had a rocket and it was finer. Had several sr22t and they were even finer. If you want to fly that route ifr reliably you want fiki. Acclaim. Bravo. Whatever fits the budget do it. Yeah you can make it work in a j or something but it'll just suck. I will say I prefer having two turbos over one. For reasons.
  11. I hate getting in and out. Once you own something easy to get in it's really irritating to go backwards
  12. We ran ours off a USB port and kept backup batteries. You have to unplug the power cord from the o2d2 for it to switch over to battery so lithium batteries last forever basically as we just left it plugged in to USB all the time. It's not about the cost of the O2 it's about the convenience of never needing to fill on the road.
  13. Engine not supported no adsb and outdated panel? Sounds like he's on crack to me I do kinda lust for a liquid rocket though.
  14. Idk man. I was already wondering about taking the actuator motor to a non approved shop. I just do what my mechanic lets me get away with. Lol
  15. I believe the Kelly is more or less the same one cirrus uses and it's quite good in my experience Edit: I'd actually pay $30k for it.
  16. I'd skip the Arctic air real ac. I have one and they don't work all that well. Mine is a 12v and you have a 24v system so you'll have more capacity at fewer amps, however. There's a guy on beechtalk that makes a similar product he claims better and cheaper but he's over a year wait list. I cannot remember his name unfortunately The big thing for our j is getting the 30-35 amps it needs for full capacity.
  17. I mean, my rocket would maintain better than 1500 off the ground and back off to maybe 1k in the high teens.
  18. Tex is a piece of cake. Now a touch and go at sbs... That's a little more fun.
  19. Haven't had any of those happen on brand c but had an actual panel fail.
  20. I've had a 231 and a rocket and now have a j. Even at sea level I hate the j performance.
  21. I happen to also be a cfii. I also happened to have owned a rocket. I also happened to base that rocket at bjc about 20nm from CFO. If the original poster is flying a rocket I'm probably not going to insult them with "watch your airspeed on final" like a new student.... I will add that of his fuel setup sucks there's a chance the engine could quit on rollout. The rockets are finiky.
  22. Guys.... Cfo is in Denver. East of the rocks. He will not be doing any mountain flying nor crossing any passes or ridges. The mountain wave may be an issue however.
  23. Artic air real ac. I have one in my j.
