Traditional lube for locks is powdered graphite. Available from hardware store or bix box home store.

My point is, it is hard to write a reg that others won't interpret differently. You said it is written poorly and you have experience. So write it. And see if we all agree.

So how would you write it?

But she started her take off roll at the beginning. So landing using what is the LAST 4000 feet means if it were really a 4000 foot runway, she would have been short.

The one issue with running a tank dry is, if you have a leak in that tanks or the fuel selector once that tank is dry, the fuel pump will suck air and not fuel. I would not do it on a regular basis.

That part of the video was great info. His going around and saying that the airline DMMS and GA Maneuvering Speed are talking about similar things was annoying. DMMS is like Blue Line on a twin, a minimum speed to fly for control and sufficient energy. Maneuvering Speed has to do with the maximum speed to not overstress the airframe.

200 feet AGL is the Go/No Go for gliders to turn back and land on the runway.. Mooneys glide well, but not that well.

There is also a guy at the Sarasota location of Sarasota avionics that used to work at King repairing them. Name escapes me, maybe Larry. He changed some bulbs and the photocell in the KAS-297 while I was there.

Yes it will. I run an O2D2 off the port by the pilot elbow and it has worked fine for 2 people at 17,000

Thanks for the info. Bummer it has been cancelled. Good info and a great chance to see people in the Mooney world. Although the way it is worded, it could be that the PPP portion is canceled. I didn't quite see putting them together. EDIT - Sherry texted Tamara and Mooney Max is CANCELLED for this year. They are directing their efforts to their new engine shop. Yes, the scheduling is an issue. I do like the venue for the Mooney Summit. Just the chance of a storm for the timing.

Both @jetdriven and my plane were done at Hawk in 2014. Both look great today

Any word on where and when? Starting to schedule things in the fall. Maxwell Aviation is directing their efforts to their new engine shop so no Mooney Max this year.

It DID.

Years ago, we had a few Sears Surplus stores around. I was in one, bu didn't see anything that caught me eye. I was wandering a part of the store not related to tools and noticed a stack of boxes behind the counter with fuzzy picture on it. The stack was over shoulder high. I asked the guy what tool set it was. He said "THE tool set" Huh? He said "THE tool set. You know the complete one, the centerfold of the tool catalog." Wow, how many? He smiles and says One. How much? $900 (retail was over $4000. SOLD. Anyone ever need 3/4" drive set, I have one.

A winner.
