Opposite rudder to the FLOOR , yoke full forward and level , power to idle , wait.......It took at least a full spin for the plane to start to "fly" again , and it was a slow recovery ....
-
I just use oxygen any time I am over 7500 feet , I find it reduces fatigue , and just makes for a better flight.....
-
Really ? I've stalled many types , and never had the experience I had w/the Mooney....I guess I'm not the caliber of pilot that you are.....
-
Landed in the middle of the night at some bumfuck airport in Va. because I was falling asleep....Almost froze to death.... But better than the alternative...
-
After my spin , I did some Mooney specific training with a CFII with 4000 mooney hours , We did Approach to stalls , we did not actually stall the airplane.....I was satisfied with the training.....And yes I gave Scotts commentary the attention it deserved ..... I ignored it.....
-
I was with an instructor doing power on stalls , I wasn't diligent with the rudder , End it up doing 2 spins before it started flying again......That was my last practice stall in Mooneys....
-
I would be interested in purchasing the take outs...
-
I think my wife and RJ would disagree that I am not am Ahole........
-
I have it in my E , it looks like it was fart of a kit , 3/8 thick foil backed , the bad news is they are still very loud even with the insulation , I wouldnt do it if I had to pay for it...

Flap pump needed for M20E
Alan Fox replied to robertheming's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
I have a pump and new hoses , pump is not rebuilt , but is serviceable... -
Most avionics manufacturers charge an automatic bench fee of 500 to 1000 dollars just to diag the box , that does not include the parts of the labor.......
-
What a shame there was a fire , A midair save would have been priceless...
-
Heres the good news , The G600 comes with a GAD 43 and it is not required for a lot of installs , These are hitting the market for about 1000 dollars ... Money saved....
-
It starts about 23000.....
-
So let me get this straight , If I buy a Cirrus , I will get laid by a young girl with large cans and a pencil skirt????? AND A PARACHUTE TO BOOT ???????? IM IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
My favorite is the one #6 pilot had a brain seizure and was incapacitated , passenger pulled chute , all survived......No the chute wont save you every time , but it will save you when you run out of options most of the time....
-
This ones for you Hank.....http://www.cirruspilots.org/Content/CAPSHistory.aspx
-
And Im not saying that it is arrogant not to buy the chute , I am saying that it is arrogant not to give the chute the credit it deserves.....
-
44 pulls says it all ........
-
Becca , you have a contract with the finance co , unless this is specifically spelled out in the contract , they are commiting consumer fraud, and possibly bad faith....If you have a friend who is an attorney , you should talk to them about it.....Fraud carries treble damages , and a fee shift(attorneys fees) They dont want to go there .....Do your due dilligence.... Regards Alan....

Which active TAS? Garmin vs. Avidyne vs. L3
Alan Fox replied to PTK's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
The L3 is probably the most robust system , but the Antenna is butt ugly , and sits on top of the fuse....These are also easily sourced on the second hand market for about 4 K ......I like the ryan (avidyne) system , These systems are big players in the light twin turboprop market , so Service/updates should not be a problem for a long time..... The Garmin will have the advantage for repairs , Garmins flat rate repairs are cheap comparatively .... L3 are big big money for repairs... I dont know about Avidyne.... -
I have a set you can have for 75.00 plus shipping , post a pic so I can make sure mine are correct.... Regards
-
Soldering in an internal in a handheld is easy , and it is also legal......Diagnosing and replacing semiconductors on a board is not practical or legal....Oh and I forgot to mention , you get the battery also.....
-
This is a vacuum system , That means the air is moved from the instrument to the vacuum pump.... You cant get carbon in the instrument , Only on some systems with boots do the steam gages run from pressurized air from the vacuum pump...
-
Garmin Flat rate covers EVERYTHING , It comes back to you with whatever you need plus a nice 8130 and all the updates .....Its a great deal...
