This is not unprecedented. The flood of '32 was very bad I heard the stories of the old timers talk about it.. '78 wiped out Center Point, TX, taking many lives and campers. '87 was another bad one, taking many RV'ers lives and a school bus of 10 summer campers fleeing the flood waters. Growing up, the river flooded all the time. It was normal to us. If the rain hits Kerrville, the river does not swell so much. If the headwaters of the Guadalupe are hit with heavy rains, as this was the case with all the major floods, seek high ground immediately. This one happened so fast and after midnight. Flood warnings and evacuation warnings were every 15 minutes on my phone starting at 11pm. Knowing all this doesn't make it less sad. The airport is full of choppers and search planes. KERV is definitely serving it's part. Mooney factory has a dry creek that feeds the river but did not backfill enoughto reach inside the factory. I "think" that happend with the '78 flood.

Hey you techie types. How do you get to the back side of this green board? Being the CB I am, I want to check the connection of the telephone wire to the back side of this panel. After three remotes all having the same symptoms, I am now leaning to a disconnect on one of the four wires of the telephone wires. I can't get the green board to move though. I just don't want to spend another $1000 in this annual to upgrade to a 406 ELT.

Home grown tomatoes, only.

Just for kicks, I got a charter quote. A Pilatus round trip from Kerrville was $22k A jet was $34k. Hehe. Like I said, just for kicks. Hehe.

I will be the last week in September. Got a problem though. One more passenger has confirmed. I may now have to go commercial.

Well Hank, I look at this two ways. First is no one flies into Melbourne, or second, stay the heck away from Melbourne.

I am in the process of resurecting a neglected bird, and my funds are limited. I'm going to get it past this first annual and then the upgraded ELT is high on the list.

Hey guys, I will be heading to Melbourne to an AirBB in late September. Do the tourist thing and Cape Canaveral. Any recommended airports or FBO's? Thanks David

Mine is the original 01 model. Yellow 121.5 ELT

As a member of the MooneySpace CB club, I respectfully ask if anyone has an old style ADK ELT remote lying around?

Lots of trouble shooting later, and I believe that the remote is the culprit. I talked to ACK tech support. They had me connect the remote direct to the yellow ELT. The remotes LED glowed faintly with the ELT in the "off" position. Turned the ELT on and the LED went bright. The remote would not activate the ELT regardless. Short answer is I am going to change the remote. Also, the tech said that my orange alarm is not compatible with my early edition yellow ELT. Anyone have one of these remotes available?

I found a typo in the AOPA propaganda about flying clubs. I got a free ball cap.

Okay. Thank you for that info. I read it and learned something. Thanks.

Hey floks, I am having a hard time with my ELT loop. The old style 121.5 transmitter works when I click it to "on." I hear the tones on a hand held. The external alarm does not sound off. Change the CR-2 battery. No love. Also the panel mounted "on" button does not activate the ELT in the "armed" position. Put in a new battery in it, and no love. No little red light, no activation. I found a couple of old telephone 4-wire cables. Going to go try them those cables tomorrow. Also make sure I didn't put the batteries in backwards, or reverse the alarm in/out wires. What am I missing?

Hmmmm, okay. Take out your GPS then. You obviously do not need that type of aid, either. I was taught " If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all." Maybe you, were not.

We want to get the bird flying.

I have a scenario to pass by you engine building types. Imagine an IO-360 fully disassembled. New or remaned cases and accessory case. Three new cylinders and one with 150hrs on it. New cam and yellow tagged crank. All parts are NOT individually marked which pushrods to which lifter. Which tappets to which...... you get the drift. Nothing is in order. My question is, how big a deal is it that the disassembly was sloppy? I've read a litte bit that the "lash" is set by the length of the rods but I've no way of knowing what part came from where. My friend has a Stinger tail F-model that I'm trying save from purgatory. Any advice? Thanks, David.

Enough to make you go grrrrrrr!

This scenario is F-model to F-model. It would need recertification?

Hey folks. Question please. My friend has a used Stech 30 he wants to install in his F Model that has the original wing leveler. What instruments are needed to drive a 30? Here is a picture of his existing panel. Thanks in advance.

It is about double of a 915 Rotax is what I read, so, $105,000 or so? Enough to say, Hmmmmmm!!

I have very softly worked on a club at my home field. I have gotten some calls with the AOPA listing and a Facebook page. I know establishing a club will only progress as far as the amount of effort I apply to it. Seems that you will eventually make it. Good luck.

I will be doing an owner assisted annual on my Darter. Thru bad planning. crappy weather, vacations and birthday, I am now 1.5 months out of annual. Do I need a ferry permit to get my plane to the AP?

Good on you!!!

Care to expound?
