  1. Search around here in MS. Sorry, I don't have time to look right now.
  2. It was a few years ago. IIRC, I did not get a new motor, I had the one "repaired" which seemed to consist of sending a new one.
  3. I got one from here on MS and also posted it at some point. It fits the 252. Two cup holders and a slot so it will fit a phone or tablet.
  4. You learn something every day. So can't use Pilot Time, so about about Driving Time.
  5. Rosen sun visors, but if I had to do it now, I would get a set from @DonMuncy I also have a pack of the stick on anywhere tint pieces. I haven't needed to use them. I plan on replacing the glass and will go dark tint for the rear windows and solar gray for the forward ones. For being parked I have a set of Dave's sun screens.
  6. I am a member of AOPA and EAA and have been off and on for close to 50 years. I drop them when I am out of flying. They have issues, but as others have said, the larger they are, the more Congress listens.
  7. My K it stays where it is set. But there are two motors. 1 RPS and 2 RPS. When mine got broken you could not read the 1 or 2 on the label. IIRC, @jetdriven put in a 2 and it would creep, so swapped for a 1 RPS and everything is fine.
  8. Mine is run to the APU door.
  9. The old logging versus being. Maybe the term should be Pilot Time for what is now Logging
  10. Nope. I can log PIC flying IMC no matter who is in the airplane. I can also log PIC fying simulated instrument with any rated pilot in the left seat as safety pilot. And for fun, the rated pilot acting as safety pilot can also log PIC.
  11. Aaah, I thought they were wrong in a paper logbook.
  12. Exactly. For this reason, I did a PP RH. So that all flying after the PP checkride could be logged as PIC. If I skipped the PP, I would have had to have a lot more hours of solo to meet the CP PIC requirements.
  13. They should not be. You can change them. Draw a line through each entry in the PIC column and initial them and put an * . In the notes, just write the PIC time was removed for dual instruction prior to PP check ride. I would just make a correction line on the current page subtracting those PIC hours. At this point, it is probably moot.
  14. They do it they were flown to the Commercial requirements. I only did one long XC for my RH add ons. I did it before my PP, but it also counted for my CP. The instrument time gets tricky for Commercial if the proper entries are not made in the log book that state that the Commercial requirements were also covered by Reg number.
  15. The typical snow we get in the mid Atlantic, leaf blower doesn't do much. But you want to sweep it off as soon as you can. I used to have a garden sprayer with TKX fluid for the CAP 182 we had on a tie down. But from some reports, TKS fluid turns slightly acidic as it ages. If I wear on a tiedown, I would probably mix up RV non-toxic antifreeze and denatured alcohol.
  16. Sorry to hear this. But kudos to making the decision early rather than too late. You are welcome to fly my plane any time our paths cross. And I hope you will continue to show up at MooneyMax or other events.
  17. FYI, you can see the fuel by looking in the filler hole at about 5 gallons. I can get a dip stick reading at 7.5 gallons.
  18. IIRC they should be set so that closed is a 1" gap
  19. Does your mechanic KNOW how to set up a Continental fuel system? It is not the same as a Lycoming.
  20. Since the MFD is also a PFD, makes "partial panel" totally different.
  21. I learned and flew IFR for many years without an autopilot. But it is probably the single biggest safety device to allow you to stop and think. For easy of flying IFR, IMO the best thing you can install is an HSI. It simplifies the mental gymnastics of flying IFR. The nice thing about the GFC-500 is you could have it installed with just a roll servo (AFAIK) so a simple wing leveler. And then later add Pitch and later Pitch trim. One of the few things that a stepped approach might save you some money. Another thumbs up for PS Engineering audio panels. Call them and talk to them about your needs. Good people.
  22. Several suppliers will sell one to you with a copy of your pilot certificate. I bought mine directly from Main Clinic supply this way.
  23. Just ran my Mooney through it and came out right about what I expected.
  24. It depends on how patient you are. I find I can get 55 gallons a side, but it takes waiting a good bit of time to get the last few in. When I calibrated some dipsticks, I could hear air bubbling from the main tanks back to the Aux even when I was over 52 gallons in the tank.
