And to end this thread, it has now occurred to me what I saw that "looked different" to me that day I thought I "saw something". It was the window sight line that caught my eye originally. That back window made me look, and that led me to the seam line on the left side. I didn't know what I saw until I started asking questions. Don, am I out of the dog house now? MNIN, can I come inside now?

For what it's worth, my sources say there are only three or four unfinished single door models. Everything will be double door before the end of the month.

Thanks for sharing. pretty cool df

The speed was certified on the 280 hp, not the 310. I'm fairly certain of that. I would hope the plane is now lighter, with a UL increase to come when the TC is issued. Maybe faster also? The YouTube video says the TC is still pending,,so maybe the specs will be revised?

Can not be done. The M20 frame is not conducive for such an endeavor.

I hope there is a gross weight increase hidden in the details.

What is FMS?

I agree. This seems curious.

Welcome to the forum. Good luck on your endeavor. those numbers equate to $5.50 per. A discount bookstore would sell a specialty book like that for around $15-$25 Those sort of numbers makes sense to me percentage/dollars wise if not a little on the low side. I Don't understand the digital conversion issue as I have zero experience in the field? What costs $11000 to copy a book? We all in the Mooney world I'm sure would support you. I hope it works out for you. David

Ok. I'm looking for my maneuvers book. Have not found it yet. what is the difference In technique between a crab and a slip? during a recent flight, the instructor said why are you crabbing it? I thought I was using a slip technique to slow down. david

Says Tony with his thumbs in his ears, fingers waving, saying nanny nanny nanny!!!!!! Good post Tony.

McStealth: 200k or less. Preferably staying under 175k. Charlie: Thank you for all the info. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain all of that. I would really like to have FIKI even though I have zero interest in flying that way. I would just like to have it for the "just in case" scenarios. Thank you so much for your insight, I'm sure that I will have many more questions down the road. Thanks again. http://mooneypilots.com/classifieds/jan_2016_classifieds.htm There are a couple of birds to look at on the MAPA classified that fit your needs. If I was spending your money, It would be hard for me to pass the efficiency and ability of the Encore (252) It fits your budget with wiggle room, has enough performance to satisfy your needs, and you can find these birds with low TT with lots of goodies in the panel (as you can also with the 305 and Bravo obviously) Will a 252 cost less to maintain? "Possibly" Can it get most of the goodies a Bravo can? "Mostly" Can it be just as good a "cross county traveler" per your requirements as a Rocket or Bravo for two passengers and baggage without a time table? Absoulutely. My Humble opinion. David

The last time you had the cowl off, was there any of these signs?

What is the budget?

Which side of the engineer fence do you lay on? Good to know we have another factory guy (and girl) around. welcome to the forum

Damn Lance, you have a condition. Sorry I didn't win the lottery. I would have bought it.

Welcome to the forum. Hope this won't be your only instance. the airspeed lost with TKS, in the overall real world time lost in the air, is negligible. I bet the time from point A to B in a two hundred mile trip is under 10 minutes. The choice for an O3 to be a Primary trainer, would be a concern to me. You say "early in his flying career". I would consider a different plane for the son if "early" means primary training. I'm sure you know this already so please don't think I am trying to insult anyone's intelligence. The O3 is a very capable single with most having 1000 lbs useful. Performance is not an issue. As with any plane purchase, ABS is a question that needs to be asked. If you want more performance, find a Liquid Rocket conversion. good luck. df

Welcome to the discussion. A few unspoken rules. Don't feed the animals ( you will figure out who they are ) Don't get on Marauders bad side!!!!!!! dont hold back any Mooney question you may have. This forum most likely has more Mooney real world knowledge than anywhere else. oh, and don't be a lurker.

What break in procedures are they recommending ?

Ha! Go Broncos!

The sword fight in the last James Bond by Pierce Brosnan, Die Another Day, has an awesome sword fight.

And there ha go.

Congratulations.

What panels are you referring?

Welcome to the Forum. Hope you stick around for awhile. Good luck on setting up a partnership journey.
