Not a bad panel , Price is a good starting point for a J of this vintage.... Good luck with the sale....

Actually the clearance is similar to the Mooney , The prop is HUGE , the firewalls are from people landing on the nose , trying to fly it like a 172......I had a tough time in the transition from the Beech , as the Beech you can basically stop flying once you hit ground effect , (almost lands itself at any speed) , The Cessna will keep flying until it is stopped , and the wing is super high lift , If you hit the brakes before you raise the flaps , you flat spot the tires...... I enter the flare at about 50 knots , and hold it a few inches off the runway reducing the power......A lot more technique than the Beech or Mooney , I have to flip a Mooney next , I should have bought the TLS that Hose' listed , but Lance got it , a smoking deal....

1290 lbs , 92 gals 88 useable , 138 knots indicated at 2300 rpm and 20 inches , I cant believe I flew 20 years without flying one of these , I always scoffed at them because the 172 was such a mushwagon , I have to tell you its a HOOT !!!! , It will actually fly straight and level at about 45 Knots.... I haven't calculated the fuel burn , and I don't want to , The RGs have a 540 Lycoming , Even stinkypants had to admit he loved it......Climb of about 1500 FPM at 120 Knots.....

As the Brittain guys always say , If you have a total electrical failure in IMC , you will crash wings Level....

A couple of things to consider , 1) as far as the Vacuum pump showing a pre failure warning on the gage , its not going to happen , The vacuum pressure is regulated by the regulator , and not the pump , the pump is capable of putting out 3 or 4 times what it is regulated down to and if it gets below that failure is imminent....... 2) the myth or backflow of carbon dust , If the reserve of vacuum in the piping to the instruments causes a backflow , its not getting past the regulator argue all you want , not happening , if this was the case they would have a system in place to prevent it..... 3) this is for Peter Garmin , We waited 8 (count em) years for King to get certification on the KSN770 , their track record sucks , I wouldn't hold my breath for the KI300 , For the life of me I don't understand why they announce these things prematurely..... Yes it looks great , so did the KSN770 .......

My friend had the pin in the flyweight fail (internal gov part) the prop overspeeded so bad , it somehow melted or sheared the teeth off of the flywheel , even worse it was in a Glassair 3 and the plane would not maintain enough airspeed to hold altitude , as far as the 2700 rpm stop , this is at static on the ramp , moving at 150 KTS 200 HP will probably spin that prop at over 5000 RPM.....

The governor limits the prop speed by applying oil pressure to the propeller piston , the relaxed state is in the low pitch mode , In cruise at 75% if the prop goes full low , you overspeed to god knows what rpm......there will be major stresses to the engine from harmonics , as well as overspeed , you can also have a prop failure (blade) , which will cause the engine to separate from its mount and most likely the airplane..... Prop governors are a major concern when it comes to single point failures...

Got lots of Garmin goodies guys.....530W , 530WT , 430W , 106A , 330ES , KCS55a system , KLN89B , GPS155XL , and King stuff too...

I will offer up a seat in a Bonanza or Cessna from the Philly area if needed...

Can I bring the 182rg , or do I have to walk there

The B is the same as the C with a few minor exceptions , The two biggest differences are the Gross weight on the B is about 100 less lbs , and the rudder travel is less in the B , Somewhere I have a letter from Bill Wheat on Mooney company letterhead that states that they are Identical ( I used the letter to get a field approval for my O&N bladder install on my B ) , I wouldn't sweat it as you have that 100 lb difference as a cushion before you even get to the C's gross weight.....

That does not fit the "good bones" category..

Looking for my next project , An E or an F , if anyone knows of a plane sitting in a hangar or on a ramp somewhere , I am looking to bring it back to its former glory.....Must have a good "bones" airframe , I will not buy one that has been separated behind the baggage door as it seems no one can reassemble these without butchering the the skins and bulkhead when reassembling.....
