This post and $3 will not buy you a Starbucks Coffee, but 2 sources indicate Mooney may have been purchased. I hope it’s true. Anyone on MooneySpace hear anything also?

If you are even remotely interested in contributing articles, please email me at TheMooneyFlyer@gmail.com so that I can answer any questions.

Richard, I follow your BLOG and you would be an amazing contributor to The Flyer. I hope you consider it.

Would love an ATC Q&A Feature. PM me if she is interested and we could talk

Another type of regular Article could be “Mooney Destinations” surrounding various airports including Things to do, hotels, restaurants, hiking, etc share the love of places you’ve taken your Mooney

Perfect. Send your ideas or articles to TheMooneyFlyer@gmail.com or call to discuss. We will do all the editing, grammar, etc.

We need writing contributors to The Mooney Flyer or we may have to cease the magazine. If you want to help, we need 2-3 people willing to write on a regular basis, or more writers, then each could contribute less frequently. We will do all the editing. Pass this on to any Mooniacs who may be interested. We have been publishing since May 2012. It’s fun and rewarding thanks, Phil

If you lean on taxi til it runs rough, then richen a tad, then if you forget to richen the mixture, your engine will stall when you add takeoff power. It's impossible to do any damage that way.

Wow.. such a judgement call with "No information about this incident. Things happen very quickly in Mooneys. My saying is "If you weren't in the cockpit, you shouldn't judge another's actions". Can't we support our fellow Mooniacs here in MooneySpace until they are proven wrong? Give them our support over their loss. Just sayin'

This was a flight review. wish you would not assign your judgement to either the PIC or CFI without any credible knowledge of what actually happened. I am not flaming you, but rather showing some empathy for fellow Mooniacs. Things happen much faster in Mooneys than many other airplanes too

As always, a thoughtful and objective analysis!

Perfectly said. I think we dont show much sympathy for a fellow Mooniac who probably has lost his airplane, or saying negative things about the CFI, or speculating on the cause of the accident. Imagine if it was you and your Mooney. You would feel terrible about the jokes. Let's show some empathy for a fellow Mooniac. And let's act consistently... people agreed not to speculate on the Mooney Caravan incident at Osh until the NTSB completed its findings. Let's show this owner the same. Is that OK to ask?

Not what happened at all.

Everyone was unharmed... was a Flight Review

This is extremely important. New model Mooney owners need to know that Mooney takes really good care of their installed base. It's part of a buy decision!

If you have an Engine Monitor, and you should, breaking in rings is simple. Your CHT will be hotter than normal. The minute your rings break-in, your CHT will drop to normal. It's as easy as that. Phil

Pulling a cylinder on a pre-buy? Never! Find another buyer. Too invasive with possible catastrophic results if mechanic (who you probably don’t know) improperly reinstalls without proper preload. A complete annual should be sufficient. Just my $.02

Does TRIM UP have any effect while taxiing? News to me.

There is no way for me to visually check my Eagle fuel tank after burning a little more than 12 gallons, there is no visual fuel to see from the fill cap. So I can only measure by keeping track of fuel burn

Mike Busch says: There has been considerable controversy about whether or not it's a good idea to leave an electric preheating system plugged in continuously when the airplane isn't flying. Both TCM and Shell have published warnings against leaving engine-mounted electric preheaters on for more than 24 hours prior to flight. However, these cautions are really applicable primarily to single-point heaters such as oil pan heaters. The concern of TCM and Shell is that heating the oil pan will cause moisture to evaporate from the oil sump and then condense on cool engine components such as the camshaft, crankshaft or cylinder walls, resulting in accelerated corrosion of those parts. However, if the entire engine is heated uniformly by means of a multipoint heating system, or because the engine and propeller are covered with insulated engine and prop covers, such condensation is very unlikely to occur. In fact, using an insulated cover and a multipoint preheating system that is plugged in continuously is one of the most effective methods of eliminating internal engine corrosion, particularly if the aircraft is kept in an unheated hangar rather than outdoors. If the entire engine is maintained above the dewpoint, condensation simply cannot occur.

What % does a Broker get?

Ditto to MidLifeFlyer.... you should not taxi onto runway at uncontrolled field until you can depart immediately.
