Can someone point me to a model that has a two-sided combo switch for separate landing and taxi lights? Or even better, a part number? There are so many permutations in the IPC, I can’t sort it out with any certainty. Thanks!

Digging further into this, I found the following through my app. The Global Roam, I couldn’t find Local Roam as an option, states data is deprioritized behind Residential and Priority plans. I’m not sure what this would mean in the real world, but for $15, I’ll stick with my priority plans for now.
-
Thanks. Keeping up with their constant changes is a full time job.

RadarScope looks like a great app, and for $10/year, cheap too.
-
I think that’s the Standard. You want the Mini. I paid $500 direct from Starlink.

Having fun here… Can I watch funny cat videos? Starlink - YES XM - NO. Can I FaceTime with my granddaughter at 10,000’? Starlink - YES XM - NO. Can I scroll Tik Tok videos? Starlink - YES XM - NO. Seriously, I think you’re asking about radar latency and it would come down to finding a low-latency website. According to what I have been able to find, radar.weather.com is touted as having real time radar data. However, funny cat videos are enough to seal the deal for me.

I didn’t have any plug in power available at first and used a Jackery 300 from Walmart and it was good for two 3 hr trips. I’ve since gotten a cigarette lighter socket installed and now use one of these. Starlink Mini Power Cable

Local priority $65/mo is good for 350 mph. If you leave the US, ie Bahamas, you’ll need Global Priority at $250/mo. The roam plan is only good up to 100 mph.

I got a silicone case for it and sit it on the glareshield in front of me. I’m tall enough that it isn’t in my line of sight. For T/O and landing, it is on the floor, under my seat.

Turbo is sad to announce he will be missing MooneyMax this year. We were looking forward to the closer proximity this year, but the dates didn’t work out. I hope everyone enjoys Branson.

No stall warning through headset on my J, just the Sonalert.

I thought it would be nice, but it’s way better than that. Once you get the power delivery equation solved, you’ll never want to fly without it. Talk about being spoiled, this is the cat’s pajamas. Ain’t technology great?

I’ll usually look for a bad ground when flaky readings present themselves. Can you “T” the line for a test with an analog gauge?

What's it worth to upgrade to a Hartzell Scimitar prop?
RoundTwo replied to AndreiC's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
I installed a Scimitar in June when the original McCauley prop wasn’t worth repairing. The Scimitar is 10 pounds heavier on my J, totally negating the SkyTec starter weight savings. As far as my ‘88 J is concerned, if anything happened, I lost speed. I was also told I’d gain, but I never saw it. Maybe it’s different for different models, but my 205 didn’t benefit from the switch. -
New, and they said they found ONE.
-
They were able to find me a cable/drum assembly, $600 for the part.
-
I spoke to them yesterday but they don’t have a way to make the cables and are working with a third party cable supplier to come up with a solution.
-
This is 100% an issue of age related deterioration.
-
After looking at ADSB data, I’m wondering what cloaking device they were using. Serbia?
-
Agreed. This was found when doing swing test at annual. The cable wouldn’t retract fully and then this piece of hardened sheath was found on the hangar floor. You can easily see circumferential cracks the full length of the cable.
-
Actuator is fine, just need a new cable installed in the recoiler drum.
-
Yes, it’s part of the recoiler assembly and the cable is attached to the recoiler drum, and the “T” handle with crimped on ball terminations. Laser is looking into what will be involved in getting a new cable installed. As far as Eaton was concerned, I was hoping for a service/repair option.
-
That appears to be the only option. I sure wasted a bunch of time trying to get hold of someone at Eaton. My issue is the emergency extension cable has outlasted the sheath and it has shed a bunch of it which led to cable retraction issues because of the foreign material inside of the retriever assembly.
