The right side switches in your photo. I have a couple of rocker switches on my panel that don't stay open or closed. Cost?

Could you send a photo of your switch panel? Thanks!

I landed at Nampa yesterday and heard about the crash. One of the FBO guys said that a CFI watched what happened and that the airplane used most of the runway to get airborne and then never retracted the gear. Density altitude and correct mixture setting may be contributing factors.

I'm flying into Boise for a fishing trip next week. I have to leave the plane somewhere for five or six days. Any recommendations as to FBO's?

Yes. I have been communicating with stepover415@gmail.com. He found me on this site and offered a used Garmin GTX 345 for a decent price. However, he avoided all of my attempts to provide a name and address, and rejected the idea of using an online escrow company even though I offered to pay the shipping and escrow fees. Red flags all over the place. Be aware!

Ross- Very cool! Thanks for sharing. There is quite a bit of space back there. My wife and I want to fly with our dogs and it makes sense for us and our mission to convert the rear seats into a cargo area. I appreciate your efforts with the photos. Norm

Thanks.

How much for the Garmin 345? How old is it? Thanks, Norm

Does anyone have any photos of taking the rear seat out completely and turning the rear compartment into a larger baggage/transport area?

Nice job!

The airplane was transported to the base of the Control Tower where it sadly sits.

Negative on the gear up landing. The aircraft was taking off.

My wife named the airplane "Luna" because it's a "Mooney." As long as the wife is onboard with owning an airplane she get's to name it whatever she wants.

Unclear what happened. No injuries according to witnesses. Will provide more details as they become available.
