  1. Thanks! Will trace them down.
  2. My CHT gauge is pegging as soon as the Master is turned on. Gauge or bayonet probe? Thanks in advance. Jeff

  4. Thanks for the the info Don! I have already begun with your advice, albeit at higher cloud bases. I was flying from Atlanta to Perry, GA last Friday and the cloud bases were around 5k MSL. I filed for 6k and got a little actual until I was south of Atlanta. My stormscope was completely clear and the forecast was for no convective activity. Once I got to Perry, the controller gave me vectors for the ILS 36 at KPXE. I flew the approach and canceled at a one-mile final. I plan to continue to file, even in VMC, just to keep in practice. And I'l certainly be looking for some days with lower ceilings than I found last Friday.
  5. Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate the knowledge of those with so much more experience than I.
  6. Thanks Don!
  7. Many thanks Ward!
  8. Thanks for all of the congrats! I remember so well the end of my private checkride six years ago. The examiner said, "Congrats. You passed. Now the real education begins." I'm sure this will be no different. Looking forward to learning lots of safe, not costly lessons.
  9. Passed my Instrument checkride last week. So glad to get that completed...

  13. I installed Tempest fine wire plugs on my IO-360 two years ago. My experience is similar to yours regarding the improvement in leaning and smoothness of operation. I'm very pleased with the Tempest fine wire plugs.
  14. I'll be there Friday morning through Sunday. There is a Mooney press conference scheduled for Friday evening. I'm hoping to hear what the factory has to say.
  15. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

    4500' MSL over downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Even though I was heading northeast, ATC directed me to 4500' while traversing the ATL Class B.
  18. Hey Bill, Thanks for the excellent news!!! I'm very excited that Mooney will be making airplanes once again. Looking forward to seeing new Mooneys on the ramp. Best regards, Jeff Bridges
  19. Why not just add a Mooney in your hangar? Seriously, I used a desktop wallpaper from Mooney.com and had a banner printed for my hangar. I added my tail number and some other details of my plane to the image and then sent it to a local print shop.

  21. Horrible news... I'm stunned at reading this. My prayers are with the families of Patrick and Casey. Tailwinds...
  22. Best of luck on your restoration Joel!!! I like George's advice about getting businesses and Mooniacs to chip in with parts and expenses. I'm very interested in your progress!!!
  23. For my 66 M20E, I used a "universal fuel gauge", a black Sharpie, and the aforementioned measurements for the short bodies. I've been using this setup for about 3 years with no discernable wear on my Sharpie markings. Universal Fuel Gauge http://www.sportys.com/PilotShop/product/9324#
