  1. Sounds awfully cheap..
  2. I have another coming in this week ..
  3. Had I met an Acclaim , That was descending from 9000 feet to 4000 feet , and I was flying straight and level , we would not have been doing the same speed...... He would be faster , and burning the same amount of fuel...
  4. Put 4 people in your Mooney , add 75 gallons of fuel , take off from a grass strip , ....... Oh wait..... You cant put people and fuel in it never mind.....
  5. Lets go chris !!!!
  6. I burn 15 to do 170 knots , Oh yea , I can take people AND fuel !!! And if I want to go fast up high , I will take my P-210
  7. Ha Ha , Below 8000 feet my Bo is faster than your Turbo.....With less maitenence !!!
  8. I will know when I receive it on Friday.....
  9. I can sell a 330Es for 2000 , I will have it on Friday..
  10. I do have my merits....
  11. I don't even think you woke up on my gentle as a feather landing!!! Chris loves the B also , We were outrunning a storm , And I turned final hot and high , Chopped , dropped , slipped , landed on the numbers , , Chris was white as a ghost..... and I quote " I couldn't even think of doing that in my Mooney" .....
  12. I wouldn't consider any aircraft not approved for spins a sports car.......In fact by all your descriptions , you all brag that they are economy cars..... Like a Prius with wings........LMAO If you don't know about the thumbnail test on the J-bar , you are setting yourself up for disaster regardless of the age of the block.....but replacing the block might be good maintenance..
  13. OK Anthony , here goes , The 182 does everything good , It easily climbs at 1500 fpm.... It can do more , It carries 88 gallons of fuel.....It can go 135 indicated knots on the airspeed indicator , at 12 gallons per hour , It can fly at 38 knots all day long , It can carry 1300 lbs ul , It can land in 800 feet easily , It is HUGE inside , has two doors and real landing gear , you can land it anywhere , you can put floats on it .... Outside of a Beaver , Its is perhaps the most mission capable aircraft...... And just so you know , my 182 is faster than an F ....( the wheels go up) and you can spin it without fearing for your life....... When I had an E model and the Cessna , I preferred the Cessna.... I really like the Mooney , But I get a kick out of people saying the mooney is like a sports car , Its not , neither is a 182 , and neither is a Bonanza , They are all sedans.....A pitts or an Extra are sports cars
  14. I forgot airways too... .
  15. Come on Anthony , you know where the upgrade path leads............ All roads lead to Beech !!!
  16. You will not be disappointed
  17. These units were sold , Right now I only have WAAS units in stock....
  18. Call Jesse @ Colorado airparts..
  19. My B burned about 12 gallons per hour at 23 24 (sea level) , and the stock B holds 48 gals probably 46 usable.... it would settle in at just about 160 MPH indicated ... Had speed mods I would guess 3 hrs to 3.5 hrs depending on alt and power setting...
  20. With full nose down , the hinge should be almost bottomed out , It is normal for the bungees to have grease coming out of the springs , Diving at 25/25 is the problem , try pulling the power back to 20/23 and trimming for a specific airspeed , like 160 to 175 MPH , well into the yellow , you should be planning a 3000 foot descent at least 20 to 25 miles out....
  21. The STC package is 500.00 , I recently purchased one... Also , what is the lead time to order a new one (propeller)? it is usually about 4 weeks......
