Yeah, set it and forget it. (Glareshield)

Then it would have been well worth it while it worked. wink Just flew with mine to the Bahamas and my passengers loved being able to text and post pictures to their heart’s content the whole trip.

I was concerned about that as well and did a “scratch test” against the wind screen. The Starlink is softer than the windscreen.
-
Yeah, the J has the hump over the annunciation panel and makes a nice place to locate it in front of the pilot. The flat glare shield seems to have a little less space available.

First use of Global Priority today, flying to Long Island, Bahamas. Worked great. Was able to call FSS to cancel flight plan at altitude and passengers were able to rub it into friends and family that they were flying to the Bahamas. So far, no complaints, except not doing it sooner.

Cigarette Lighter socket as USB power source
RoundTwo replied to PeterRus's topic in General Mooney Talk
A quick visual inspection should address both of those concerns. However, a typical cigarette lighter is normally fused for 10 or 15 amps since their designed function is to heat a strip of metal to a cherry-red condition, a feature that takes significant wattage to accomplish. -
I wish everything worked out as easily. Enjoy!

FAA Bars GA from flying into 12 Major Airports
RoundTwo replied to hammdo's topic in Miscellaneous Aviation Talk
On Saturday I had no problem with flight following with Atlanta ATC heading to Americus. I needed to get a pop-up IFR to get down, but was forced to go missed and headed home. After canceling IFR, they let me keep the squawk for about 20 minutes when they cut me loose. I continually heard denials for FF requests. It’s a sucky situation but should improve drastically very soon now. -
I can no longer get here on either phone or tablet unless I VPN. Right now I’m connecting through Mexico and it works fine. No bueno without VPN for me.

This Friday will be my first trip taking the Mini to the Bahamas, one of the main reasons I bought it. I’m currently on the Local Priority ($65) plan and will need to switch to the Global Priority ($250) plan to get the international usage over water. Luckily, upgrading is pro-rated, so I won’t have to pay the higher rate for the whole month. Details to follow.

Even with mine on the glareshield, it gives me the obstructed message at times, however, the speed is still more than needed. I always unplug and stow for landing, so it has been a problem on the ground.
-
The Local Priority plan is $65. A couple of months ago, that’s what was required to get over 100mph. It looks like that has changed.
-
It would be nice to be able to fly around without the cowl to ensure it isn’t hitting somewhere.
-
I’ve got about 50 hours on it since being installed, still buzzing.

According to the manual supplied with the prop, normal maintenance is to inject up to 30ml of grease, or until grease comes out of the vent hole. Based on the advice provided by Cody, the hub was SLOWLY filled with grease until the excess came out the vent holes.
