  1. The only partys that get my goods before funds are in and cleared are Lasar , and my avionics buyer.......Dont get scammed....
  2. The calender issue is only a concern for part 135 operators , I have flown behind 40 year old engines and never had a problem.....The corrosion on the cam thing is so overblown its not even funny , understand most buyers are not really buyers , they are shoppers , looking for the perfect plane.......That would be a NEW one......
  3. 79 had 14 volt electrical ,
  4. I have never used a mask , I use the nasal cannulas , they are much more efficient , and I use O2 at 9 k and above , reduces fatigue big time.....Oxygen is cheap...
  5. I have a medical bottle that works great , Two bottles , regulator , custom fit bag and a dozen nasal cannulas , was about 100 on ebay new.....
  6. Sale is pendind , lets hope it goes through...
  7. I think we both agree that blades don't last forever , and we also both agree that new is better than overhauled , and we also both agree that the no eci prop adds value when trying to sell a Mooney.....
  8. When they overhaul the blades they take a little off each time , after the 3rd there is not enough chord left to be in spec.... You are buying blades at that point.....Blades are more than a top prop conversion....
  9. I will go that route , But hartzell sells the uncertified version of this prop new for 7 K so it will be a little harder on that forum , Thanks for the suggestion...
  10. Yes this is true , but you could sell your old prop for 2k and that would only be a 3 k difference , also take in mind that you can only over haul prop blades three times..... Now how many hours are on your prop since new?????? This is a new prop , not overhauled.......When you add it all up its a steal regardless of the AD... The AD is just the icing on the cake..... Also it is a big deal at resale.....No biggie , I will get 5K for it its just a question of when....
  11. Lets all go back to our training and remember a term called induced drag , a prop is not a screw , it is an airfoil , and while it operates it takes energy to create that lift.....Engine compression has no effect on the drag created , because it cancels out itself with expansion , so the energy consumed is basically the friction in turning the engine , and the lift involved in the operation of the prop....And there is most certainly a transfer of heat going on...where the low pressure is on the leading of the prop , even with that engine windmilling , that prop will ice up before the rest of the plane(in icing conditions)
  12. I wasted my money on them, Why shouldnt I inform someone else....as a side note , the birds absolutely loved building nests in them...
  13. The wheel well liners are a total waste of money...
  14. Enjoy your sails....
  15. The articles said there was jet fuel everywhere...Also two survivors in the plane , so the impact was not severe...Sounded liked a missed approach go around accident..
  16. Seats removed from a M20C will fit C,D,E,F,G,J, Not perfect , but they are serviceable.... 600.00 plus freight , or best reasonable offer , Call Alan 856 419 5209....
  17. Actually the Nitrox helps to prevent nitrogen narcosis , The problem with nitrogen , is it can make you loupy and in a drunk like stupor , not good while diving , There two reasons for mixing gasses in scuba diving , one is for extending dive time without getting bent , the other is for really deep dives , I cant remember the differences , But people who mix gasses are really pushing the envelope......As far as Medical oxygen and aviation oxygen , as far as portables are concerned I dont believe it is regulated by the FAA , I have a a pair of medical bottles with a regulator and carry tote that I bought new on ebay , for less than 100.00 and it has been fine for the last 7 years , It is probably cheaper to replace them , than to hydro them when the time comes...... I use them more for the 8K to 12K altitudes , as I am not Turbocharged , and they dramatically reduce fatigue and headaches on the longer flights....
  18. That was actually a Joke.....I would have not traded a car for 530....
  19. Not from hartzell , Just called them and it is 8300.00
  20. This is the price for the complete prop , just to clear up any confusion....
  21. It just blows me away how cheap people are , I have learned a valuable lesson , take em apart and sell the parts..... Its more profitable , and much easier.....
