325 amu for a texan

I was about to comments.... "SOOOO MANY AMUS" Then OP delivered with the exact AMUs....

@bluehighwayflyerYall be flipping planes in less than 1000 hours around here... WTF

Zero chance the p40 flies for me. It's only flown once and had some prop vibration they just got sorted(they think) , needs to be tested. The Texan is for sale and likely has a buyer so if I want to go gotta go fast. The steerman is availble anytime

So I got my first ever hanger for the Mooney and there was one other vehicle in the building . I decided to walk over and meet my first hanger neighbor. You wouldn't believe what I found i didn't take a picture of the 57 chevy 3100 the 69 Corvette or the impala convertible but look what I did get pictures of

This thread is my first time hearing about falling leaf. Conceptually in my i head I understand. Going to have to investigate.

Everyone I know that has their product raves about them. Then I ask myself, if the plane is already yelling at me (gear horn throttle position) and I dont hear or ignore that, does the same thing happen here? So I havent bit the bullet yet.

@Fly Boomer Override button didnt do shit, they just wouldnt come up (twice) until i got super slow. Works great on the ground on jacks. I guess its a wait and see. Should get it back at EOM. I also after the fact wonder if i remembered to tap brakes after liftoff. I think of that video online where the direction of wheel spin with 100kg weight on a stick can be lifted or cant.

Not in my area, full blown stalls are DPE requirement. In my case; c152 full power on 45deg bank climbing stall.

With my bird in the shop with the same gear retraction issue, I'm waiting to see. A&P suspects speed switch needs adjusted. Had to slow flight it down to almost stall speed to get the gear up.

I ordered my Bruce cover, they are asking if I wanted the insulated version or just the regular sunbrella. Also they will include preheater flap if needed. Should I get it insulated or no? Plane will be uncovered in hangar unless I'm away from home. But I will be away in the cold. My experience is most FBOs have a preheater blower to get transients moving. Group thoughts?

As a colorblinded person it was a joke, man getting that medical restriction removed was a pain in the ass

I'm offended by this statement

OH yeah he was great, maybe we did a few stalls but like in said it was all well planned and coordinated. All of this comes from a place of the manual that says no spins. After almost spinning the 152 in training I just don't have the confidence it can't / won't happen again. I know all the book answers but I've also never had one happen on takeoff or landing when it really matters and you haven't mentally processed what your about to do before it happens. Obviously you aren't going to practice those, but I did probably 100 stalls in that 152 power on and off, and got snapped by a 45deg climbing stall request from the dpe that shook me as I've really not got the skills I probably should have if I'm going to haul my fam around eventually. Or maybe just being paranoid. I'd really prefer the stall training in my aircraft and perhaps spins in another.

Fundamentally I should have said spin avoidance training. During ppl training in a 152 I incipient spin that I recovered from and my cfi was like good job that's what happens when you stall uncoordinated. Don't do that lo During my ppl check ride dpe had me do a climbing, turning power on stall. Of which I had never done before but read about. I passed but it did scare the shit out of me. Now I have a Mooney I never want to see an unexpected stall, but I've only ever done one with CFI during transition training it was controlled, coordinated and fine. But what if it's not. I'd like someone to guide recovery of a Mooney that stalls uncoordinated. Which was the crux of my question, but I'd rather not do it alone with limited skills.
