Hi all, I have some avionics/instruments for sale due to my upgrade. I would rather sell to someone I know vs Ebay, so I thought I would post. All were removed from my airplane in working order, except #7 which I purchased and never installed.

That would be swell. AI/Vacuum was overhauled about 3.5 years ago, which would have been conservatively 300 hours ago. Funny because when I took this photo I hadn't started up yet. When I did we found the suction tube was re-mounted backwards. My AI was doing a dance!

Right? I will be focused on rule #1 "Don't hit lead" I am seriously looking forward to utilizing the equipment, but I have to say for now the IR has given me such a new found freedom. Living at the beach before was a bit of a problem with marine layer/clouds. Not now!

I do know Michael from CMA. I am going to be using Mike Jesch, my CFII. He also does FAAST trainings on the 530, ipad etc. Also going to do an online course with Gary Reeves.

Wow, thank you so much. You answered a bunch of questions I had on my initial flight with the unit. I am fortunate in a way because I had dual KX155s, now I have one KX155 with vor/GS. So I do have that which is very normal/natural for me.

I am going to take a class on the 530W.I want to make sure I know it's capabilities and how to change things, on the fly so to speak.

Hey all, Here is my latest installment of AOPA Opinion Leaders. We all have far more in common than we might think. https://blog.aopa.org/aopa/2018/01/23/the-bottom-line-we-all-started-in-the-same-place/

Thank you Don. A dear friend made it for me!

This summer I purchased a 530W from a friend and then won an auction at EAA's Gathering of Eagles [OSH] for a GTX 335. After I got my IFR I decided to install. I chose Barber Aviation in Madera, CA. They quoted me a reasonable price, and best yet a 5-7 day turnaround time. I also had a Stratus dual USB installed. I am happy to say that it was super cool to fly Miss Maggie home yesterday with the new-to-me technology. I can recommend Chris Tharp and Barber Aviation wholeheartedly. They have a maintenance facility and an avionics shop. Next week will be a trip to Yuma for the Gunfighter's Formation Clinic. Life is good. #MooneyZoom

Sorry, I looked for the title and didn't see anything

Thank goodness for that air frame. #TexasStrong https://www.pe.com/2018/01/17/small-plane-crashes-in-parking-lot-of-santas-villege-in-sky-forest-no-major-injuries/ A small plane carrying four people crashed Wednesday morning in the parking lot of Santa’s Village in Skyforest, the San Bernardino County Fire Department said. The plane, which the Federal Aviation Association registry identifies as a Mooney M20E, crashed about 11:30 a.m., fire department spokesman Eric Sherwin said. All four people — a pilot and three passengers — walked away with minor to moderate injuries.

For Central Coast/SoCal pilots. Passing the word along for help with the Thomas Fire/Mudslides in Santa Barbara, CA. We need boats and airplanes! Critical personnel need to be moved to/from Santa Barbara while the freeway is closed. If you have a boat or airplane and can help, please text or email Emily: (805)620-2849 ThomasFireHelp@gmail.com. Please include the type of vessel, carrying capacity, availability and your contact name, email and phone number.

My Mooney has about 300 hours. He is a great co-pilot and even was in the back seat during a big portion of my IFR training. He never comments on my landings either!

That is so totally cool. Congrats, and welcome to the club. I can't believe how much I was able to fly VFR. The rating makes everything SO much easier.

I was able to purchase this unit from a friend at a heavily discounted rate.

Maggie: 530W install plus Garmin transponder Me: commercial, CFI, SNF, OSH, AOPA Regionals

I should have been clearer. Mine was rough on run-up.

I had a rough mag when I was headed out on an IFR training flight. Thought it was a mag. Turned out to be a spark plug, which was a cheaper fix. Seems like we have a MooneySpacer who is based at Monterey....

That is so cool. Would love to see a photo!! #MooneyZoom

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the mentorship, friendship and inspiration this year. I was struck by the results an AOPA poll which said that the majority of respondents listed a "new rating or certificate" as being a primary goal for 2018. I plan on doing a more writing [for AOPA and Plane and Pilot] on achieving our aviation goals, dealing with setbacks, and overcoming roadblocks. If any of you would like to chime in on your goals for 2018 that would be cool. As well, if you have overcome something to achieve a goal I would love to hear about that too. Posting here is fine, or my email is Jolielucas@charter.net Happy Moo Year!

Here is a little compilation video of 2017 and my 130 hours of flight. Merry Christmas everyone.

You might want to have your gear pre-load checked. Shouldn't be so hard to swing in my opinion. For me having 1000 hours or so in the E, getting the gear back up was the least of my worries. Also trim is super important. Congrats on the IR devotion. I received my rating November 17th and have flown about five flights IFR since then. Great platform for learning. As a PS: I get my gear down before the FAF, then 100 on approach.

The smell was not too bad. I had the vents closed, and my ram air door closed too until well passed the smoke. Glad you liked the Mooney Girl apparel!

Yes, I am going to check filter and pitot. Thank you!

It is great to see Mooney getting so much press. The Ultra is a wonderful platform. For those of us vintage owners, we know the quality upon which the later designs were borne. Let's hope that 2018 is a positive year for our brand and most importantly our workers in the factory in Kerrville.
