That is a Yamaha FJR. A very well respected sport touring bike. It engine is a repurposed superbike motor that can go like stink if you twist the throttle enough. Nice bike Turbo!!!! what a coincidence Bonal. I also took the same picture in the exact same costume!

Doesn't count without pictures!!!

Here in Kerrville, there is a VA Hospital. That brings/brought veterans, to retire, in the area. I have P-51, F-4U, P38, B-17 and B-24 pilots come into the restaurants all the time. It is sadly getting fewer and further between in my contact with them, but they love to talk their tales. Most are not as lucid as the gentleman that video though. Thanks for the link. David

Any Updates on the engine placement? Or was it a red herring?

you beat me to it. cool!

Any actvivity to report? How's the TLS coming along? DF

Can an operator of this system tell the difference between heavy and light precipitation? Hail? Lightning (strike finder)? Are the images up for interpitation, or is it pretty clear cut? Sorry for the 20 questions but I have not seen this option on many of our Mooneys. David

With this radar, what are you exactly looking for? What does it see best?

If I remember correctly, you can adjust the angle of the radar, up and down, to paint the sky ahead of you? Is that correct?

Did you get it updated?

Did you notice the UL? It is in the 800's. Is this adequate for your mission? As Turbo just said, this STC is unsupported. The husband passed and the widow and family has nothing to do with aviation. Maxwell installed a couple of these, and if I remember correctly, it was around 40 hours. They could be a source for you. As for the plane itself, what's not to like? It's a Mooney isn't it

This is consistent of what is reported by others on this forum. Seems to be the rule, and not the exception.

Welcome to the Forum.

Nice Rocket. Nicer 310 Ovation http://mooneyspace.com/topic/17294-2000-mooney-ovation-310-hpaspenavidyne-air-condtioning/ Anything is doable. Can you train your dogs to jump up on the wing and miss the flaps? Can you train your passengers not to step on the flap Will you put a blanket on the walkway every time you fly? Do you care for the paint and leather to keep its value? Just saying..... Buying a Rocket and flying with animals. Well, you are going to lose the value of any turbo aircraft that is non pressurized, when you fly with pets. It is that simple. The question really should not be if it is doable in a Rocket. It should be "how many times am I actually going to load up two big dogs?" Answer that question and you will then know if you go N/A or turbo. Performance wise between the two? The 310 O's "are the fastest" production GA plane out there if you believe the advertisement. The Rocket is, a rocket. Get up high and go fast. Block time difference in a 1200 mile trip will be what? Maybe 25-30 minutes?

Lancecasper is another one to ask.

I was thinking the same thing, but only in relation with the Huskies. That being said, Samurai, get whatever you want to get. The only thing I can think of is maybe get a Mooney (any plane) with factory air conditioning if you are truly going to be flying with your dogs. That being said also, go to the For Sale link on this site and buy Lancecaspers beautiful Ovation with factory air. It's paint scheme probably matches your dogs. David

Please excuse the barbarians, welcome to the forum.

I was contemplating the correct spelling. Didn't put to much effort into being exact. Leave that to the engineer types

"Neato". Did you just say neato? Is whoopsedaisys next, he he he.

With the storm scope and all the King equipment, I will guess 905???

squid. I like my squid..... my Texas sense of humor I'm sorry to say. Yes. Some of us know and eat squid!!!

Welcome to the forum Fischer. Careful what you wish for. Get on Marauder's bad side he may show you his bird and a whole lot of something else. That being said, I am sure you will be able to catch a ride or at least a tour in your neck of the woods. I am much like you, puut puutting around in the rented 172 and can't wait till I can stretch my wings and fly. Good luck. david

Nice looking bird. Good luck on your sale. David

I like my quid dipped in a light tempura batter and fried till golden.

Certainly agree. The oil patches in the US, not just TX, are all effected with a down turn, but that is a small sample of America compared to the big picture of GDP and the economy. Df
