thanks

Hi, could I get a nav light cover and a blank white cover? If so, please let me know how to contact you and pay for them. Thank you, Steve

I installed a full Dynon panel over 2.5 years ago. Been hand flying since. The Dynon is awesome and am looking forward to installing the AP. We pre wired for it back when the panel went in. The price of the three axis AP and servos, etc..is a bit under 7K, plus a weekend of labor. I am more than excited. ST Avionics in Sisters Oregon is an excellent choice, Steve is very talented and honest. ***UPDATE**** Autopilot installed! It took around 16 hours to install. Works fantastic, could not be happier. I have used very few features, just the Nav settings, and IAS v. FPM on climbs and decents, and simple flight plans. I have not done any approaches yet, but am very happy with what I've experienced so far.

Yep, I'm not sure..I'll check it next flight.

Interesting. Like I said, it likes being leaned a bit for taxi, but I've always gone full rich for take off.

I believe it does say to go full rich. My engine gets a bit rough when I go to full rich, but will cut off on roll out if not full rich. I think the idle speed is around 900, but not certain on that. I'll make a note of it next flight.

I have an 83 M20K 231 the the LB engine, no intercooler or Merlyn. If I don't have the mixture full rich on roll out, it quits. When I first start the engine, I start it at full rich and then lean it for usually a 75 rpm increase for taxi, I figure it is better on the plugs. Not sure why it demands full rich on roll out then?

Flew the K to Texas a couple of months ago. Was close enough to Kerville to stop by and see the spiritual homeland and wanted to share a couple pics.

Wanted to let our group know that the Modesto CAPS breakfast is next Saturday from 7AM through 11AM 5-13-23. It is an excellent breakfast for $10. Oakdale (O27) has $5.39 fuel. Last month, we had four Moonies at the breakfast and I think everyone that came loved it. Steve

Thank you for putting this together. Unfortunately, I will be in Charlotte on the 27th. Hope we can do something else soon after!

Oakdale Ca (O27) is having an airport appreciation day this Sunday the 23rd beginning at 9AM. I hope to see some Mooney's there! FYI, O27s fuel price is $5.39 a gallon. Steve

I am glad you enjoyed the breakfast. I actually back taxied and parked between your plane and the Ovation that followed. I walked those guys into the breakfast and showed them where to get tickets. Had to go, but it was fun to check out your plane. I have a picture of the three of them parked side by side. Next time, I'll post a little more in advance to hopefully get a few more Mooney's to come.

that would be great...probably will see you come in, at least

Flying into Modesto for breakfast around 9.30 tomorrow. The CAPS put on a really nice breakfast the second Saturday of each month. I believe it is from 7 to 11. Three types of pancakes, two different eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy. $10 bucks, and you can run to Oakdale for cheap fuel after or before. Hope to see some Mooney's there! Steve

thank you for the replies.
