I bought my C while I was a student with 20 hours total time in my logbook. Finished private in it and then did instrument, 3 years later I have a little over 450 hours in the C. Insurance was unobtainable as a student, as soon as I got my private it was no problem. I self-insured until I got my private, carried liability only for a year while I got instrument rated and then went to full coverage. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

I have a C in Kerrville if you're ever out this way. I may be at Hooks next week but, it'll be a quick turn if I do make the trip. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

Congrats on the new airplane and welcome to the cult, I mean club. While it's not a 737 or a Gulfstream, they make great personal airliners. I can almost always be at commercial with my C, when you figure in security, boarding, deplaning, delays, baggage claim, etc. I haven't flown commercial since I bought her 3 years ago and I've made some pretty good trips. Starting from Kerrville, I've gone to Phoenix, Ruidoso, Durango, Atlanta, Oshkosh, West Palm Beach, Key West, Detroit, Nashville and Knoxville. Regularly use it for trips to Corpus Christi and Dallas. You're going to really enjoy having her ready to go when you are. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

For me, there are 2 kinds of clouds. Clouds and NOPE clouds. You know NOPE clouds when you see them and I stay far, far away from those and sometimes that means leaving the airplane in the hangar.

It fit easily with the right seat out. Of course I had a W&B for no right seat installed. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

It is, we put 5 in a commercial building a few years ago and have had 0 problems with them. I measured my door this morning, it's 34" tall x 24 wide at the bottom and 18 wide at the top so I should be able to fit it. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

I'm actually considering pulling the right seat for this. I think it'll fit in the back seat but, having a big open area would probably make it easier to stow. The bowl is 30" deep x 15" high, I'm not sure about the width. I'm guessing that in the box, I'm probably looking at 36" x 21" x probably 24" or less. It's the 30" or 36" that I'm not sure will fit through the door.

It's an addition so we need to buy a new toilet anyway. Believe it or not, the full flush is almost $100 cheaper than the low flow version. We're getting the toilet that will flush a bucket of golf balls. Don't want to have to double-flush anything. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

Anyone know offhand what the measurements are for the door on a short body? We can't buy good toilets in TX right now, only the ultra low flow so I bought one in Louisiana. I'm trying to figure out if I can fit it in the airplane or I'm going to have to drive (yuck). I thought Trump was going to let us have toilets that only took 1 flush again, I guess Gov Abbott didn't agree. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

The new systems are required to be on at all times (hence both positions are ON) so the guarded switch isn't needed anymore. We measure loading in gallons and it's injecting into the exhaust for proper atomization and dispersal at low altitude. It allows a more targeted distribution, which certain agencies really prefer. I put mine in when I did my avionics upgrade and the grant money provided for installing it covered most of the labor for the entire upgrade. There are several different agency contracts going right now, though not as many as with the last administration. The "Mind Control" formula is paying the best at the moment and almost covers my fuel costs. I've had some ethical concerns about it but, avgas is expensive and you've got to save where you can. I can't really divulge too much about who is financing and providing the chemicals other than to say that it's likely who you would expect and a couple of others you may not have heard of before. They'll probably contact you since you've expressed interest, dealing with "They" has been easy, I haven't much enjoyed interactions with "Them" though so ask around the hangar before getting on board with a program to see what others think of it.

I've had my amp probe go squirrely a few times now. It gives me a "BAD PROBE" error and then starts doing this. Usually, the next flight it works just fine. Anyone have any ideas? It worked perfectly for a year or so and nothing changed recently that should have caused this.

Napa sells a gas cap like that for about 1/2 the price, only difference is it's a screw compression instead of the flip tab. Disassemble it and use just the rubber piece to repair the Mooney cap, throw the rest in the scrap metal pile. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

Only S-Tec will repair them. They have to be sent in by a dealer. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

They won't sell you the part, many have tried, all have failed. You can either get a used one off eBay or something or, you can get an authorized dealer to send yours back to S-Tec. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

My C isn't any quieter than your F. I think we worry about stuff more than the animals do. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk
