Yikes. I think I’ll keep driving my 2003 Tundra

A 5 gallon bucket upside down and a cool whip container fits perfectly under a J

In WA the sales tax alone would be more than the higher insurance premiums

I changed the wing mounted landing/taxi lights once. Let the MSC install the LEDs

My GTN 750 and Flightstream 210 work great with Foreflight on IPad mini. 2 way communication

And it’ll take double the time as it would for someone who has done it before

I was able to use that discount in 2015. I have almost 800 hours on the “rebuilt“ engine with no issues

POH shows 150 knots at 14,000. I only fly that high to take advantage of tailwinds so typically see 200 knots going east

Spiders!

I just sent an email to Mark Napier It will be interesting to see if the old email address is still active

I’ve seen this chart before. It doesn’t include the new “Ovation Style “ interior on the 1996-1998 Js.

Local EAA Chapter sponsored a Saturday fly out to the Port Townsend Aero Museum (0S9), where a Mite is one of the aircraft on display They also have a Call-Air Model A (red aircraft on floor in last photo) which was the model Kenneth Arnold was flying when he spotted UFOs near Mt. Rainier in 1947. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CallAir_Model_A

Also sometimes called the “banana belt”. Rainfall increases on average an inch a mile to the west out to the Pacific coast.

Went out to get night current. All exterior lights are LEDs except red belly beacon

After doing a VREF aircraft valuation and seeing the hull value was higher than I was covered for, I was able to increase hull coverage mid policy year through Falcon Insurance for a relatively small additional premium

I’m assuming you have the flat wing end. The sculpted tips make the width 36’1”

My 97 J is noticeably quieter than my friends 78 J

Advanced had a no back clutch bring in stock, that was ordered for another aircraft. Greg said, for some reason it didn’t work in that aircraft and neither he nor Mooney could explain why. It worked fine in our actuator.

I too questioned why it made any difference with the gear down. This is Greg’s explanation: The gear actuator is the biggest issue we seem to have. The reason the gear horn is sounding intermittently is because the gear actuator is turning backwards releasing the gear tension. The reason for this is the No Back Spring is slipping. When the tension drops off, the gear actuator kicks on to gear back up against the stop. Not the best thing for the motor or the actuator.

I am picking up aircraft from annual tomorrow. One of the squawks I listed was the gear horn and gear warning light would chirp occasionally while taxiing. Advanced Aircraft Services fixed it. In the process I got a new no back clutch spring that I didn’t intend to change out. The one removed had about 1400 hours on it. The invoice describes the fix as follows : Discrepancy Landing gear motor momentarily actuates un-commanded when master switch is turned on. Corrective Action Complied with Mooney SB M20-282-A per Mooney Service Manual and Eaton instructions by installation of new No Back Spring. Landing gear system was functionally tested for proper retraction and extension. Manual extension check was performed and down lock tensions were verified and adjusted as needed.

I’ve been waiting for a year for them to be in stock

I opened it on my PC and could see the political boundaries, on the iPad just a big white globe with the color coding

How do you tell where on earth it depicts? When I open it there are no land masses showing

Our 97 J has the “Ovation interior “. I believe the 96J was the first to have this
