  1. One more thing… How about the wing tip taxi lights. Is there an LED replacement? Part number?
  2. Thanks for the insight. If you want to send me a quote for the three lights to yachtcapt@icloud.com that would be great. Your just DM me. I have the enclosed wingtips. Zip code: 33149
  3. I was leaning towards the AEROLEDS. Where are you located?
  4. So, I have a weird thing going on. When I turn my strobes on, I intermittently get static on my Comms, regardless of squelch settings. Has anyone experienced this? Jumping ahead, I’m going to replace all my strobes for LED ones. Recommendations? Also, I think the current strobes have a power supply somewhere that’s apart of my current system. I’m not completely sure though. Can someone lead me in the right direction as to where i can find the power supply box or boxes? Do I need to remove the PS for the new LED strobes?
  5. Well that’s a bummer. D-10A is flat out ugly. I love the look of the HDX though.
  6. Any chance you’ve looked at the uAvionix AV-30’s? They offer a whole lot with very little $$. The install is a tenth of the time of a G5 and they are setup to talk to just about anything. AP certification is in the near future. Also the traffic page with the AV-Link soon to come. I know a few people that recently installed them and rave about them. If you go the Dynon route you might be able to use one AV-30 for the secondary backup that’s required and the other for a stand alone traffic display. I’m sure there will be some opinions on this—
  7. Good advise! Oh the process of learning thread etiquette… <— I’m in that group.
  8. Hey everyone, I was just poking around and remember how close the OK Corral is to KOBE. I’ve been there a few times before I was a pilot and it was a blast, literally. OK Corral is only about 15 minutes from KOBE, they offer Sporting clays, Skeet Shooting, Trap, and they also have a standard range for sighting in your rifle. The restaurant is truly some good country cooking. They have golf carts and reasonable prices. I’m looking to head up there on the 29th or 30th on this month. Weather dependent of course. Who’s up for it? PS - If you don’t own a shotgun they have rentals.
  9. I think the lipo myth has been debunked. Check out the High Sierra Fly in or just about any bush plane out there has one strapped to their wing now. I pretty sure the early lipo battery problems were more do to high temperatures. I might be wrong.
  10. YO!! I have the GT on order but doesn’t ship until Jan 27th. Can’t wait!! My boys got the Pint X for X-Mas and that thing is fun. It has me thinking I maybe should have got and PX vs the GT. I think its just the wait that killing.
  11. Wow, thank for sharing this. I hear about this but never saw the thread.
  12. Oops… I broke all the rules!! 1. Fell in love with a plane. “Mooney M20J” 2. Bought her sight on seeing, over the phone. 3. Didn’t have my PPL at the time of purchase. 4. Never even flown in one before putting my deposit down. “Actually the only Mooney I’ve ever been in is mine, still today.” 5. I didn’t cut my teeth in a Cessna “Won’t catch me dead in one” and went straight to the Ferrari. Things I did and I think am doing right- 1. Set a goal and accomplished it. 2. Signed up for Mooney Space 3. Did my transition training and continue to seek more knowledge from experienced Mooney pilots after breaking the above rules. 4. Know your limitations. 5. Fly, Fly, Fly and then Fly more. 6. Don’t look back, look to the future. My newbie pilot opinion- Buying a plane is like wondering when will you be ready to have your first kid. You start asking yourself the questions. Do I have enough money, the right home, is it the right time in your relationship, and the list goes on and on. Then once you have one, you start think of have another one or two. The simple answer is… Good Luck and take the advice from the veteran MS in the above posts. Not so much me.
  13. Agree these don’t look like my seat frames but maybe they fit the same track? It might be a long short.
  14. Hum… wondering if those would slide right in on my current tracks? 1977 201 That’s the current color of my interior right now but I would definitely want the back seat to match. I’m sure you have the exact leather and color code to order matching fabric?
  15. Has anyone experienced the baggage door popping open even if it has been latched down? I was told always latch and lock the baggage door as one of my checks. Just curios if someone had one come open even when latched or are we talking about leaving it unlatched on accident? I don’t see my coming unlatched do to the solid feel it has when closed.
  16. Sounds like a plan. Feel free to DM me if you're looking for an excuse to fly. Half the time I don't know where Im going until I get to the airport.
  17. The weather was amazing. Though I was a little late, part due to the 15 plus planes waiting to depart KHWO this morning. Only one controller on. Arcadia was wrapping up the pancakes when I walked up, it was worth the trip. Got to meet a few people before heading over to La Bell for breakfast. -Fun Day
  18. Welcome from one newbie to another.
  19. I’m sorry for the delay but I did in deed get a phone call back from Arcadia yesterday and the Pancake Breakfast is a go today. See you guys there—
  20. Well the word on the street is, they might have stop doing the events but not confirmed yet. I left a message with the FBO. Regardless Im just looking to go somewhere this weekend for fun. Any suggestions?
  21. Price? If still available.
  22. Who’s going to get breakfast in Arcadia this weekend? January 15th
  23. I find it hard to get out of… Only for the mer fact that I don’t want to get out.
  24. I lied, I'm sitting off St. Maarten right now. Back to St. Barts tomorrow. The funny part is I'm itching to fly to snow in about two weeks.
  25. Office view taken 30 seconds ago, just for you. LOL
