Is that being assholes and having egos our butts can't cash

It's the coast's way

This is were the true community comes together and shares knowledge and expertise with OPP. Much like the other defunct manufacturers. But being extorted for the privilege to be extorted.

Gryder is an idiot

Could be but also it is not uncommon for people living around airports to tune out the noise. Ultimately, we will know in 2 years. Personally, i thought the repairs were too quick to fully go through the full fuel system, clean and rebuild components.

Everything is speculation at this point, but I heard extremely gusty conditions. If it was a new mooney owner did they do any transition training?

Ahhhh...air...pull the chute. Haha sorry couldn't resist

Extra brief pre take off, expect a failure. Also, if it was OH, make sure you follow a good break in, don't pussyfoot on the ground

Has anyone asked the question, has LASAR or Mooney, for that matter, gone to venture capitalist, banks ect for cash infusion. If not why not. If so what was the result and why. I can guarantee that most loans or requests of money from investors is rejected because of a lack of management ability to turn the company around, lack of business plans. So if a bank or other investors won't poney up, the next last gasp of air is to make an emotional plea to those with an emotional attachment and little business sense. Others are correct, the money is most likely like the alimony to an ex...gone as will be both companies. Money is rarely the root problem, management is almost always the problem. This is why buyouts get rid of management.

I would say he is...i believe the only one that lived through an actual unconscious accident. I would even say one of the extreme few to live through unconsciousness of all CO poisoning including home

Thinking about Lasik, wonder if anyone has had all laser lasik (bladeless) and what your experience is, night vision, complications, dryness flying etc.

True for many consumer models, with the exception, they will either fail start or alarm if the calibrated is high. I, however, and looks like hank had a zero with a professional model. I had borrowed one from local fire department and the reading is absolute. Calibrated in a lab. Most of those are 1ppm min. Like i said to get lower than 1ppm you need large expensive lab equipment. Let's not give faa any ideas. Tso panel mount is going to be required soon, and those are not as good as a portable

You laying down in the middle of the road in nyc. In my area (cincinnati) CO is below detectable amounts <1ppm. I'm sure a very expensive large lab equipment that uses NDIR or Laser you can detect some. Can i ask, does this CO of yours have a can or bottle shape,

At least that one you know something incredibly stupid BUT fun and hilarious is about to happen

Famous words that has been a top killer of people throughout civilization.

Are you confusing carbon dioxide. A Dräger pac 6500 says 0. Even cheaper co detectors are accurate. There isn't much complexity with them. When gasses or anything is diluted or so small as to not be detected it is effectively 0, read up on chemistry. Begs the question why are you dying on this hill, hell of a thing to argue it. Are you trying to cope that something might be wrong with your plane. If so CO isn't the thing to fuck with just ask dan bass

If anyone read Mythical Man Month by Brooks, they know that's not true. Should be required reading for everyone most especially Management. Good Management and people that know what they are doing is key. Anyone that has actually run and/or turned a company or group around knows the way to get cash is offer stock. It has a benefit that is attractive to those that want that risk. Lighting money on fire is not attractive, no one here is elon musk...even he doesn't lite money on fire

Everyone knows that doesn't work. We have lean/lean six sigma, JIT processes in which are proven around the world whether in a niche area or mass production. Matter of fact, niche areas benefit the most. Unfortunately, when we went to lean in the 80s everything got much better, and like idiot management went right back to old processes, at least in America. Current owners of Mooney had no intention of saving the company, they wanted a pump and dump and make some money. This is what firms like that do, invest, turn quick, sell quick or do things with the IP, see it daily in the tech world. Think of mitt Romney, but he/his firm was actually good at it. Johnny had no idea what he was doing, no knowledge of manufacturing, business, or how to make a niche area profitable. He just thought he could talk it up make something look good on paper and sell. Well that didn't work out. That really has been the curse of Mooney company. The only way a company of manufacturing parts can be profitable is learn lean, know the industry, know business, know the audience meaning price points and what's needed. It is never good storing parts. Really someone needs to crawl to Daher.

Where is this at, i need to know... For a friend of course

I read mostly 0 on taxi. Always 0 in cruise. If i see 50+ on taxi I'll turn around, back to mechanic because it is out of normal for my plane

With all the "marketing " and hoopla and lack of explanation and transparency, this seems very similar to a pump and dump.

Really it is pretty easy. Like anything once you do it once or see it done you'll go duh. Putting it back on is a little more just because of the belt. I would lube everything as moisture over time does tend to tighten things up. I had to replace one of my plastic lever with metal one, so if you have plastic don't yank it like an after prom.

I would like to point out something that I don't think as been mentioned, take a look at the barrel connector, behind pilot side panel. In my 75 F the connector was corroded, causing that behavior with an additional issue of power shorts. Connectors need to be inspected every so often as well

Back when the Wright brothers were in a bicycle shop? Lol

While that seems great in a perfect world. We don't live in a perfect world and already the seller was less than honest if he didn't disclose that. Doubt they would even return a call now. Legally, it's a no go, private sales are default as is except things specifically stated in the agreement. Good luck proving unairwortyness at the time of purchase. Even if the seller knew it happened, because they just have to say, we had it looked at and everything checked out, thus it was aitworthy at that point. I would say an engine monitor is great because you can see data points like FF that can point in a direction. I would look at all the fuel screens, gasalator (proper function), carb/fuel servo, OH fuel distributor. Several flushes of tanks and inspecting sealant
