    Sort of like the 280hp Mooneys. Those engines go up to what, 350hp in other airplanes? IMy point is, if TBM wanted to develope a plane with 1200shp, they would have and it would look different than the TBM we all know now. Same for the Pilatus. If it only had 850shp to utilize, it would be a Pilatus we don't have now.

    I find it funny when people compare a TBM and Pilatus. I always ask them how do you compare a plane designed for 1200shp against one with 850shp? They usually have no sane rebuttal. No more thread hijack. Tell the wife Comanche, not Arrow!!

    I'm not invoking a debate, but blanket statements such as your first one, and then the second "Bo" one are ripe for a rebuttal, which I supplied and you then exited stage left.
  4. Mcstealth
    Well, that is not what you said. You made a blanket statement with no context. Now you backtrack. As for your Bo comparison: Which Bo? The four seat you are talking about? Hmmmmm. I would debate you on that one. Can't compare a six seater obviously....

    OK, I'll bite. "There are many planes out there that are much better....." That statement needs some clarity or context.
  6. Mcstealth
    I don't feel that at all.

    And look at the prop. Perfectly vertical.

    What is the prop plane in the background?

    I think this was an advertisement photo. Which airport do you think this is? San Antonio? Austin?

    Damn auto correct!!!!

    Things in life that make you go 'hmmmmm' Let's ask Daphney and Thelma. They will get to the bottom of this mystery.

    Hey folks, the airport is already taking reservations and will fill up for the 2024 Solar Eclipse. Kerrville and the Texas Hill Country is ground zero for this event and the city will have visitors from all over the world. At least, that's what Kerrvilles been told by the folks that know these kind of things. If anyone is going to fly in, call KERV and get you name on the list.

    Welcome to the forum. Tell us which airport you wish to make home base. What's the identifier? What is your GA flying experience? Thank you for your service. Welcome again.

    I have been shopping vintage Mooneys now for about six months. The prices are not consistent across the board in my opinion. I've seen a C model with all the bells, whistles, and a loaf of bread push $150,000. I've seen a J with all the same whistles, minus the fancy A/P and loaf of bread for the same $150K. I could have had an F with the full load of speed mods, twin G5's Stec-50, JP700, and more, for only $70,000. I should have bought that one. I agree with @Skates97. Spend the extra on the insurance

    In context, I will say 'some Mooneys' When I described what I felt, they both shrugged it off and said "that's normal" and "nothing to worry about" I did not think to ask vintage specific, or model specific. I guess I should have.

    I was in Dugosh yesterday. I asked both David and his main AP about the movement with the seat. They both said yes, completely normal. You can see the flex happening they said. They did say to check for cracks at annual in that support beam.
  17. Mcstealth
    There was movement in both directions, in both actions either up or down. I felt the most movement, both ways, when the gear reached its full extension or retraction.
  18. Mcstealth
    Not to completely change the subject, bladders can or cannot be removed from the plane, and go back to sealant?
  19. Mcstealth
    For a fee, and he is not what I call "cheap", Brian Kendrick will fly his Mooney to the plane in question and do a full inspection. He probably has a wait time but I would trust his inspection.
  20. Mcstealth
    Any luck?
  21. Mcstealth
    Now that, was an answer.
  22. Mcstealth
    Okay. Please educate me. What was the purpose of the lower gears?
  23. Mcstealth
    Where do I look? Up through the wheel wells?
  24. Mcstealth
    I was looking at an F model, and while I was sitting in the plane, the A/P had me swing the electric gear, and manually lower the gear with the emergency handle for the annual he was performing. The left seat literally sank when the gear was lowered, and raised when the gear came up. I will say .25" conservative number. I made the A/P aware of this. He said the seat shared a support with the gear? Is this correct? Is something broken? Do your seats flex? Thanks David

    Thank you Lance
