    Before I bought my plane, the only time I had flown a "Mooney" it was an Aerostar 220. I was instructing and the owner took me for a flight and let me fly it some.

    Well there are several systems for owners. AdLog is not the only one

    Awesome. Perfect timing for me, as my plane should be ready to flight test in a couple of weeks.

    When we had our consulting company, for one project we had to get WC insurance. Only thing is, as owners of the company we were exempt from being covered by WC. So we had to pay an insurance company for a letter saying that the company had WC insurance, but then it exempted the two people working for the company from coverage.

    AIRCRAFT VALUATION Our previous service is no longer available. We are currently evaluating a new member benefit to bring to you soon. Seems they are replacing it

    Some of us have much higher gross weights. At 3200 pounds, it would be 71 across the fence (77 on final).

    Hmm, and I just found that my plane has been through an annual every year and had an AD missed from 1989 on the seat belt buckles. You are assuming a LOT in thinking that all shops have an online AD system and even a bigger assumption that they all use the same system.

    I need to get to the garage and practice my TIG welding and set up a shop to do things like this.

    I think it only one more wire.

    The nice thing about AdLog is it transportable. You can switch shops. IMO, no matter how good your shop is, an occasional annual by another shop can be a very good thing.

    Yeap. Notice, those without turbo say non-turbo is fine. And those with turbo say they would not buy a non-turbo. It is VERy seldom bumpy at 15 - 17K

    About $140

    Good to hear that. He is doing my whole interior. New carpet, all the seats redone (fabric and ultraleather), repair and paint the plastic. Sort of a mid grade.

    The IA does not need the original log books. I have mine all scanned and in a PDF. THAT goes to the shop. The shop does a sticker that has the info and the sign off. I stick that in the logbook and then scan it and append it to the digital log book. I also have AdLog system and I am fine with that going to the shop. It would be a pain to go back through all the ADs and document the status, but not that big of a deal.

    I would call MicroKit. Mine has been perfect.

    My 252/Encore is 1119 useful (no TKS) and burns 10.1 GPH at 175 KTAS in the upper teens.

    This is important. Also, someone to act as a consultant to guide you through the process and keep your emotions in check. I used Byron ( @jetdriven ) in my quest. He taught me a lot and kept me away from a couple of planes with issues.

    Wish I had known it was there, I would have visited your plane. Roberto is doing my interior, but plane is at Donegal Springs for avionics, so a twofer.

    I agree with the shopping insurance to get an idea first. Are you really wanting to flirt with ice with your family? I would love to have TKS, but I also can live without it and NOT mess with ice. I am biased, but I think the 252/Encore is the ultimate Mooney. A very nice balance of range, fuel flow, performance. If you want to chat about it, let me know.

    GREAT. Thanks. The trim chain guard is factory, but mine seems to be missing. Or at one of three shops. I will be pricing on this week.

    I found the Aspen VSI was OK for trends, but not so great for precision. The rate of turn was just plain hard to see. I learned steam gauges, but also have a number of hours with tapes in the HUD, so have no problem switching back and forth. I do prefer a steam gauge altimeter for a quick glance. Long hand should be straight up or straight down. EASY.

    I tried to order, when it when to the payment page, got an error message that the vendor password was bad or the account on longer active.

    I need some pictures of the center console area, fuel select to the emergency gear. Best would be with the seats out. Also a picture or two of the trim cover. Thanks.

    MANY people using them higher than 10K. The 10K limit is what they tested them to for use on commercial airliners. The cabins stay below 10K. So people limit them to 14K with 2 users. But many reports of no problems up to 18K for single user.

    They are "working on it." And have been for a while. This would be for a 3 blade composite.
