har har har. That was funny right there. My wifes '02 Dodge with a 4.7Ltr engine has had a low end rod knock for over three years. I buy the "quiet the rod knock additive" at O'Rileys and and I am quite satified with the advertised performance. The bottom end hasn't blown out yet......Knock on Wood. "Honey, what is that sound? What sound? Oh that. Ingnore it"

It seems that everyone has an opinion...... They are entitled to it.

Cessna has provisioned the three models of piston singles to accept the Max-Viz system for the last couple of years, making for easy retrofits. Retrofit systems are available for $30,051. Installations are only available through Cessna dealers. When ordered on a new airplane, the upgrade is $22,145. The lead article online at AOPA is the night vision that is available on some of the Highwing models. $22 or $30 grand for night vision attached to the glass panel. WOW is all I can say. You can field overhaul your engine for less money. David

I doubt it also, but the intelligence is there, is my line of thinking.

Why do we have landing gear limitations with any of the K, M, S, or TN with the monster legs on the M22 available? Just saying.

Updated my profile. Thanks for pointing it out. David

I need a mentor please. One (of two) I can ask questions without the scrutiny of the whole board. I flew my first long for me cross county last week (4.2 Hobbs) and I learned that I have a lot to learn. David

Okay. Let's come up with a name for Parker's wet plane fantasy. Hmmmmm. Waterpark---er

It would seem to me like you would have trouble getting the air out of the caliper with the bleed screw in the bottom, unless you unbolted it and held it upside down. This is exactly what you do. More than once on different race bikes I turned upside down the calipers to allow trapped air to escape. Tapping lightly with a rubber mallet dislodged the bubbles and my at the time full hand brakes miraculously were transformed into single finger brakes. If you have the time and aptitude, I say do it because no AP is going to. DF

Heartbreak Ridge "What do you think of this exercise Gunny" " I think it is a Cluster Fk, Sir"

Okay, I will say it......... RV-10

Not sure if this Mooney pilot is on Mooneyspace, but good on him. http://www.dcourier.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubsectionID=1&ArticleID=114211 David

I am interested in this aswer also. Hope someone has a real Mooney world PIREP on this product. df

(I initially suspected the same). Yeah. Me too!

How far does a VOR signal transmit, or how far away can you be before you loose signal? Where can I look that up? Far/Aim maybe? David

I believe there is an AOPA seminar. Saw it listed the other day. Will check

Here in Kerrville, the Mooney factory used the local embroidery shop and they have several different designs. I posted a link to them last year or so. I will find it and re-post. David

Found out that the Garmin was a 500W ?? the tray is not in in the plane, but the antenna and wiring is.

Was there resolution to this issue? Hope it was an easy fix. David

I have to admit, I still struggle with all the acronyms and what they stand for. I'm sure there is a cheat sheet for them all and wish I had one. As it is now, I have to them all up one at a time. Repitition!!!

I just did the Vref on the AOPA web site. $32,650

So I guess the general concensus is that the deal itself is okay money wise. DF

Question for you Southeast Texas guys. Which FBO's do you guys/girls know that consisteltly has a crew car one can borrow? Do you have to call in advance? What is the protocal? The closest airport for my mission is K9X1 know as Williams or North Houston Business. It is not manned, no FBO. The next closest is Hooks KDWH, Lone Star KCXO, or Cleveland K6R3. I am trying to eliminate renting a car for a 1.5 hour turn around to get into Kingwood and back out to fly home. All thoughts appreciated. David

I wouldnt even think of offering before prebuy You are right. Not going to offer without a pre-buy with corrosion inspection. So the owner took the GPS to install it in another aircraft ? I suppose he has filed the appropriate form 337 to keep the A/C airworthy. The GPSS does not any good without GPS. Yes. He installed it into his much newer Centurian. The AP functions off of the VOR as well so it is operational. Can not answer about the 337. Where will I find it in all these log books I have been studying? DF
