  1. My 231 runs noticeably smoother, at least at idle; I can't tell any difference under power, but I assume it must be soother there also. This has to be a good thing.
  2. The late Norm Smith (the Mooney Miser) sold some gas cap covers. (I won a pair as a door prize at the MAPAconvention several years ago). I have only used them a few times since I hangar my plane. They shouldn't be too hard to duplicate. If anyone has any interest, I wll send (or post) what I think it would take to build yourself a set. Don Muncy d.muncy@sbcglobal.net
  3. I don't trust what the reported winds are. I come in on final in a crab. Somewhere on final, I apply rudder to see if I can allign with the runway. If I can hold it in alignment, I land. If I can't, I dont.
  4. I think it mostly depends on your background, knowledge and needs. I found it interesting, but a little simplistic. His "handout" book is nice to have, but most of the information is findable in the manuals and other sources. Overall, I'm glad I did the course, but if money was tight, I would question whether it was worth the cost.
  5. I'm Don Muncy and fly 231AT, a 231K Model. I hangar at Dallas Executive (previously Redbird). I am a fairly recently retired attorney, having practiced civil defense litigation in Dallas. In past lives, I raced sports cars (MG and Lotus) (amateur), and practiced veterinary medicine for a number of years.
  6. There is space at RBD where I, and several other Mooney pilots call home. There are someolder hangars (like mine) for about $250 per month, and Cutter has some really nice new hangars for somewhat more. RBD is a very short distance from downtown on the south side. There is self serve fuel (generally about $1 higher then auto gas). Multiple instrument appraches, reasonable services on the field. Contact me directly and I will fill in any desired information, get you contact information or anything else I can do to help. Don Muncy 214 360-9293 or cell 214 207-6744, d.muncy@sbcglobal.net
