  1. Did you say salvage and it's in TN? Hmmmmmm. What else should you look for? -a-
  2. Watch for the second unmarked one coming up from behind you... This is how it used to work on NJ highways... Best regards, -a-
  3. Lower HP=lower MGTOW. You won't discard the bird, but you won't appreciate the intervention either. Best regards, -a-
  4. Drone use deserves it's own thread. That will be a long discussion... Xcountry drone flights above 1,000'msl...? Best regards, -a-
  5. Some one posted a plane for sale a while ago that had been completely modded as if it were a home built... Could this be it? Best regards, -a-
  6. Retire with excess cash to go with that goose. That's a whole different level... -a-
  7. (1) If you are in VMC you can expect legal VFR traffic. See and avoid rule... (2) If you are in IMC, there will be no VFR traffic expected. Just avoid the edge of the clear side of the cloud, VFR pilots will be on the other side avoiding the cloud... (3) If you are in Class G, you may be mixing it up with the unknowns of other IFR pilots heading into the system. Overall, avoid IFR flight in class G areas. -a-
  8. Cs can add fuel flow to a JPI display. Both FF and Cht/EGT would be excellent additions to the existing hardware! A 930 could replace existing instruments that are crummy from day one... I would be inclined to add it to the lower cost 700 series if my budget was tight. Best regards, -a-
  9. My 65 C was known for it's anti-flutter and flag mount. It was the short tail version. Best regards, -a-
  10. Nicely done Phillip, What's next? Best regards, -a-
  11. Most of NJ is covered in class E at relatively low levels. However, a similar challenge exists here as an IFR flight approaches an airport with low VFR ceilings. Students flying in the pattern, maintaining VFR. VFR flight close to the clouds, and IFR descending in the clouds, students with minimal experience and "pros" calling in on the CTAF giving position reports of the instrument approach they are flying in on. There is only a few instrument procedures that come into my home drome. I would expect that 2/3rds of the flying population there doesn't know anything about them or where their IAFs are. Expect to join VFR traffic with a low stable cloud structure overhead. Speak early and often in normal VFR English. One plane in the pattern may be very quiet... This was my experience as a VFR student pilot. Hope it helps to enlighten the situation. If i recall from my early training...There are or were some quirks in the system that may allow an IR pilot to fly in IMC in uncontrolled spaces without a clearance. But that is an oddity that is not practiced by wise aviators. The sky isn't that big anymore. Best regards, -a-
  12. $1,500. Flat rate... What was the rest?
  13. DP -a-
  14. What version of Aspen is that? Does the sunshine and warm weather come with that? Best regards, -a-
  15. Have an out such as Winterhaven. In the event of getting there on time to be the first to be rejected... Just sayin' -a-
  16. http://www.planecover.com/plug_page.htm I bought a set with the cover... Best regards, -a-
  17. TKS and a handfull of upgraded Garmin equipment added as a bonus, to the already post financial crisis low 2010 price. If it is real, that is well priced if you are a buyer. PPI is a MUST. The details of the ground strike would be of interest. Good time to trade up from a C? Best regards, -a-
  18. EB, "Certification is expected soon." It just depends on what the dinition of "is" is.. I think that electronic ignition has a lot to offer. Can the GAMI people deliver on such a task? Best regards, -a-
  19. A good discussion with Jimmy would open many opportunities. He buys and sells Mooneys and is most knowledgable on how to get the most for what you have. He can make recomendations on what to add, where to get it from what shops to use. If you are looking to move up, this would be a helpful discussion. Buying and selling machinery is a complex (expensive) process. Doing it without professional help is not good for your wallet. Imagine for a moment, flying a Mooney without any previous experience or training. Maybe you read a book or asked some questions on a reputable website... You can contact AAA by phone or by email to get started. Then compare with other brokers for a second opinion. If you have bought and sold 10 airplanes in your life already, or are responsible for $10MM sales budget for industrial equipment, then you have the flexibility and skill to go on your own. Knowledge is power. Know what you have. Know what you want. Know where you want to go. Know how you're going to get there. Know your limits. Seek professional advice. Or go it alone if you're feeling "lucky". People are starting to buy things again, interest rates are low, stock markets are recovering, house are gaining value. You have a Mooney. The sun is shining. What better situation could you ask for? Best regards, -a-
  20. No post...
  21. I'm going to need Jerry's health maintenance guidelines as well! Thanks, -a-
  22. Bump again... Remember NJ if we can...? Best regards, -a-
  23. I would consider it like downshifting into a corner. Energy is adsorbed by compressing air and expelling it as heated exhaust. Or similar. It works for my F-body anyway... Down shift prior to turning base, ready to accelerate on the go-around. Best regards, -a-
  24. Anyone know what the drag race community is using...
  25. I read that as they are guaranteeing a high level of dispatch reliability. Aka expensive for the type of weekend flying that I intend to do. Anyone else...? Best regards, -a-
