    I am going to Ft Worth in October with a buddy who just purchased an F model and he can’t make Owensboro since they rescheduled that event.

    Looking forward to seeing all that new glass!

    I am based at KLXT on the Missouri side. I live in Lees Summit. I will be happy to show you Myrtle. She is an M20K 231, 1982 model. That may be newer than you are looking for, but there is an F model that just moved to KLXT.

    I told you it would be done by the end of May. I wish I could run my business like that.

    This may be true, but You've got to love the one you're with! So, I'm just gonna keep on lovin Myrtle!

    The M20K 231 does not have rudder trim. My M20K 231 is equipped similarly to yours and it does require a small amount of left rudder pressure to keep the ball centered and it does pickup a knot or two of airspeed. However, I have no issues with the pitch and the GFC 500. Mine is as steady as a rock.

    Mine was replaced with the Garmin switch during my panel upgrade. If it is in the box with the rest of my assorted left-overs I will be glad to give it to somebone who needs it. I have the entire King 200 including servos.

    Have you gotten your plane back yet? I would really like to see a picture of the finished project!!

    Everyone with access to the internet has seen that crappy landing. I bet the pilot wishes he could have that one back. When he came back around he greased it in.

    Flew back from Casper, Wyoming today. Nice flight, picked up a little rhime ice in a thin layer out over Nebraska. Dropped down to 13,000 and got out of it. Myrtle did well.

    Does the link come with the appropriate STC paperwork?

    I had the same problem with Myrtle not long after my purchase. Replaced the circuit breaker and that solved the problem.

    Do you have an ETA?

    Fortunately for me, I checked my calendar, and it isn’t going to be a conflict for me, but my buddy is going to have to cancel due to the change in date.

    It took a call to Garmin to sort out the issue…..Long story short….do not use the Garmin website to download the databases. The preferred way is to open up the Garmin Database Manager directly from your computer. When you use the website it leaves some trash files behind that eventually can cause problems.

    Actually, I have a GNX 375 and I am very happy that it is automatically cross-filled from my GTN650xi. If my 650 fails, the 375 already has the flight plan in it and takes over navigation in reversionary mode.

    Is anyone other than me having trouble with the Garmin updates not downloading properly ?? I have never had a problem until this months updates.

    I ordered one from Spruce shortly after the AD was issued….still waiting. They send an automated email occasionally to let me know that it is still on back order. Other than that, no joy.

    ^^^^^THIS^^^^^ I have the Bogert and could not ask for a better solution. I have never had an issue.

    Better in this case, may or may not actually exist. If you think something is better, it IS better for you, I get that. Perception = reality. I try to make my decisions based on data. Assuming fine wires are "better" what's the pay back? Increased fuel economy? More power? Better starts? Not being argumentative, just curious. Again, I am perfectly happy with my current performance, but I do try to use what I believe is "best".

    I have been running massives in Myrtle since I purchased her 4 years ago and almost 500 hours. I had all the plugs replaced at the last annual after a little over 800 hours. I have absolutely zero complaints. Starts on the 2nd or 3rd blade when cold and will run LOP so smoothly at 9.8gph that I have never felt the need to even try fine wires.

    Don Maxwell Aviation- Longview, TX KGGG That is probably a good place to start.
  24. hubcap
    Myrtle is in annual and it was discovered the fuel selector valve is leaking. LASAR no longer repairs this particular valve. Does anyone have a fuel selector valve available for the K model? Part # - 610289-001 Don Maxwell Aviation or Mooney do not have this part.
