The sequal will be an interesting read, as was the original.

Called the Cowboy Steak House. Right on Main St in the middle of town. Love to see and meet you, and anyone that may be around. David

No worries. Next time maybe

Saw this, posted this. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40590745/ns/travel-news Is it in the name of saftey, or income.......................

One of our members here flys out of Williams, now called North East executive (or something like that). That's in Porter, off of 59 north past Kingwood

Quote: Mooney_Allegro Thanks for the nice compliment! I try to keep it up as best I can. Are you still in Texas? I plan on visiting Kerrville again tomorrow morning into afternoon.

Let's have a motorcycle perspective. Say we are racing at Road Atlanta or Road America. Which bike ya want? R1 or R6?Now change the track to The Streets of Willow or Telladega GP. Which bike ya want? GSX-R 1000 or GSX-R 600? On those big tracks, please give me the big bore. The comparison here being if I was always flying four people, always going long distances, always packing more than needed etc, etc, go with the six cylinder. Now how about the small bore? Guess what? I would race the small bore at any of the above mentioned tracks and be completely happy. The comparison here being the small bore can do it all and do it all very well. Not always will you be flying with full tanks and full butts. Bigger isn't always better in the aviation world.

time and patience, you must have, you must (Yoda) Good luck

Quote: yellowjacket I have a 496 mounted on the yoke where the clock used to be in my 68 M20F. It fits perfectly and doesn't obstruct any instruments and is very solid. All I did was take the clock out (I have a Davtron timer on my instrument panel) and used the bracket the clock attached to as a template to cut out a piece of aluminum and drill holes for the screws. It fits excatly in the old bracket's place and I used the bracket provided with the 496 and tapped holes in the plate and screwed the GPS bracket on the plate. I painted the plate the same color as my yoke and it looks like it was standard equipment. Jim

In order to request Special VFR, do you have to be instrument rated? David

Quote: mooneySpain Please could you share those pics? I had my factory AP system completely removed and am thinking to install a whole new system. Considering all options at the moment. Any suggestion? Any idea on overall cost for installation? Thanks in advance!

Quote: mooney11x I would be forever greatfull if you could take pictures of the servo mounting brackets in the wing and tail.

Welcome to the forum.

PM David please. Thanks

The drawback of going high this time of year seems to be that the Bravo heater struggles to keep up when you get into colder than -40 or so, and then getting ice on the inside of the screens and windows starts to become an issue, wish someone had an easy fix for this - anyone? Don't have this problem in Southwest Texas :)

Ha ha. So are motorcycles, horses, snow skiing, skateboarding, beenie babys, and stepping out of a shower. When people make all sweeping statements such as reported, I just smile and wave. Ignorance is bliss I say. May he blissfully fly the CRJ well, and let his ignorance shine.

Outstanding. Pilot made up her mind, and so it shall be.

Quote: Capt_CrashN_Burn Aaah! so is there an STC that allows you to put Ovation landing gear on a 252??

The increase if from 'modern' landing gear. The gear is the same as an Ovation, where the 252 is not. If I had my druthers, I would pick the Encore over the 252 but I would not ever kick a 252 out of bed.

Welcome again. Is that the ex Matt Kenseth plane?

Okay guys, let's help the Doc here find his new speedster. He wants more speed and room than his Bravo provides so a Type S Acclaim is not the answer. Hmmmmm, time to go do some searches. Mcstealth ps Doc, you need some Leo Davinci's on your 996. Add a chip and a re-mapping and you have something to fight those GSX-R's with.

got a link?

When Mooney did own the type cert for the Eurocoupe, they worked on the twin boom, by trying to eliminating it. My Fathers last entry in his log book before he quit flying, was flying this single boom Mooney/Eurocoupe, working down the hours for certification. The certification never happened obviously.
