    That is egregious. I have seen -MB converted 231s advertised as a 252. Still no. Not 24 volts and probably not dual alternators. Same with 252s converted to Encore specs. Doesn't make them an Encore.

    This ^^^^^^ But the FIRST step is to contact the broker and explain the situation and see the response. I see you did this. Over what time frame did you send the emails? And how long ago. This is summer time when families go on vacation trips, so they may just be away from it all. If more than 2 weeks without a response, I would be on the phone.

    I wonder if we could spec a generic label gauge. Or one without a label and without the ears, that comes with the cover off that we could order directly???? They will not sell us the Mooney version, but maybe we can get close enough.

    The problem is, what paint was used. If you are talking a classic car, it was lacquer or enamel, and restoring oils may work. Modern planes (and cars) are painted with catalyzed paints that cross link and are a whole different animal.

    Just wondering what people think of Mooney Flyer. Not too much feedback from readers with letters to the editor.

    Gipps GA-8 Air Van. It is not an airplane, it is the box the airplane came in.

    I use a full size iPad, but in CAP C-182s. In my Mooney, it is a Mini6 on a RAM yoke mount.
  8. Pinecone
    RAM makes a PMAd version. But their PMA is only for the big bore engines. But the package has the Continental part number that includes the TSIO-30 models

    I need a chart of all the possibilities. Just to discuss them with my shop of course.

    As others have said, there are two sets of gains. You use one set or the other, but they are not in the system, you have to set them individually. There is nothing physically stopping someone from tweaking the gains slightly. Other that compliance with the STC. And who would check that?
  11. Pinecone
    Agreed. It never made any sense that Garmin had specific gains in the STC. I would have thought they would have starting gains and an allowable range. Other that maybe the glass planes, each one is an individual

    My first Oshkosh was 1999. Had just arrived with the mass T-34 arrival and was standing on the wing. I had not even gotten off the plane. Looked up and saw the smoke. Later learned it was an online friend from AVSIG in his GlasAir. RIP Ben

    The vast majority of my flying was in airplanes without AP, or a simple wing leveler, so I did not use them. My Mooney came with a KAP-150 with altitude pre-select, so started using it more. But other than an occasional practice approach, I hand flew approaches. Now that I have a GFC-500, I am doing everything on AP for a while to get used to the new systems, but will go back to flying most practice approaches by hand, just in case.

    The other side is, start charging GA for ATC services and you will find less GA participating. Possibly leading to more issues with airlines since ATC will not be talking to the GA

    He did do an exchange tour and flew off of boats.

    Garmin's ,mantra is to always check the AP annunciator after hitting a button to see what the AP thinks you are asking it to do.

    Maxwell has a quick fix for the stall vanes that get bend by fuelers. And no, 24" is too low for cylinder break in. You want at least 75% power.
  18. Pinecone
    I am trying recall the training from over 40 years ago. IIRC is had to do with max performance to stall area. Swept wings are flown into the buffet for max performance. Straight wings are flown to just before the buffet. I may also be due to swept wings landing at higher speeds. Most straight wings are down near 100 knots
  19. Pinecone
    Yes, fixed it
  20. Pinecone
    Maybe GAMI will have an update on their clamp at Oshkosh

    FTFY

    As I said, I ACTUALLY DID THE GAIN CHANGES. My shops walked me through the changes over the phone/ You set the desired settings from the SB. For the initial setup the shop sets them according to the STC. Any other gain settings are not legal for Certificated aircraft. What you are saying is that there are profiles in the system, which there are not. The SB just came out a month or so ago. If what you said was true, older systems would have no option for the new gains. Also, there would need to be different software for each make/model airplane.
  23. Pinecone
    Could be why I haven't heard of it.
  24. Pinecone
    Join Civil Air Patrol and start flying. You get the Military version of Fore Flight free. It is a step up from Performance Plus.

    Give that tail down a light coat of paint and see if you ever scrape that off.
