  1. That is why I did a calibration table for the sight gauges and sticking both fuel caps.
  2. Aaaah, that I don't know. But it seems from other answers, no. Maybe a later software version. Or the G3Xi
  3. Yes, when I did mine ( Present Position (themooneyflyer.com) ), I made sure I used a repeatable position for measuring.
  4. I wrote about doing this for mine plane in Mooney Flyer. Present Position (themooneyflyer.com) Got 5 5 gallon jugs. I dumped the first one in, figuring under 5 gallons would not be measurable (I did not calibrate my electric gauges). Then I dumped half of one into the empty so did increments of 2.5 gallons. My 252 with Monroy are supposed to hold 52 per side. I managed to get 55 into the right tank from sputtering.
  5. My FBO has a 172 with Garmin setup (G3X, GTN-650Xi, G-5, GTX-345, GFC-500) with that setup. Glad it is not my plane. Seems cobbled together. But it works. Trim switch is a reach with my thumb.
  6. One of those things that you know you can do it, but finding the info in the manual. In the Rev D manual, it is referenced on page 19. The thing you have to understand is that Garmin mainly talks about the "Map" for the MFD. That is their map with various things shown. You need "Charts" which is on the Charts tab. This is where you can choose VFR Charts (Sectionals) or IFR Low Charts Got the Main Menu, touch Setup > Display, and in the PFD/MFD Page field, touch Auto. Selecting Auto, allows you to choose what page to show. You can also choose using the Page Navigation Bar or the Large Knob for the MFD (like a GTN or GNS).
  7. I have seen this a few times. I figured that there was rain from the clouds, but it was evaporating before it got down to my altitude.
  8. You can prop a Cub from behind the prop, so your hand is on the throttle. That would help. If I had a plane that needed hand propping, I would put in a glider hook. That would provide a tail tie down until you got running and in the plane.
  9. I will post when it gets done. The yokes are done and the front seats will be worked on shortly. Plane is in avionics upgrade, so no need to rush the interior.
  10. I have hit and knocked off the cover for the right side inertial reel. No interference with the left side reel.
  11. I am in the middle of a major panel upgrade. I am going with toggle switches. Only rocker switches will be the ElectroAire mag switch/push button starter panel. The only thing to note is, the breaker switches will have the breaker amperage on the tip of the toggle and the others will be rounded. Also using the time to group and layout the switches. So lighting switches will be together, with the most used to the end of the row that is most convenient. For mine, lighting will be to the right, engine and such (boost pump, avionics, master, alternator, etc) will be to the left.
  12. For Alpha, the push button release is an option. They also have the lift buckle type.
  13. Another vote for inertial reels in the front. I put the Alpha's in about 3 months after picking up my plane. MUCH nicer
  14. Hmm, I should have stopped and looked in. Roberto at Smoketown is doing my interior.
