Call Jared Bowles at Beegles Aircraft in Colorado... If they have it it will be a third of the typical salvage yards,....

I just went through this , if the payout plus the salvage is more than the agreed value , they will total it.....what they do is estimate the salvage value , and subtract it from the insured value, and that is the max they will pay.......Sucks Ass......I just took 21k for a 34 K claim , but I wanted the plane , and being in the parts biz it was an easy decision.....

I have some white windlace in good shape if needed...

Peter Garmin can fix it with a mixture of Amalgum and Camguard........

Shame on all of you , Peter Garmin did a double blind study of corrosion X on his patients amalgum fillings , and guess what ...... They all went blind......I guess it works.... Back to the original post , Lancaster Aero is doing a treatment on one of my Beeches this week .... Lets see what they charge.....

Yes they are...

I have altitude components if any interest...

Ribbed verses Studded........Hmmmmmm.....

Selling 106A removed for G500 upgrade , Alan 856 419 5209...

Don't Mooneys have a squat switch??

He said he installed it himself , so unless someone signed him off , there is no authority ,

I have them listed on Barnstormers and Beechtalk for 1000 or best offer , My friend Don waited three years and payed 800 4 years ago , If any interest , just submit an offer , worst I can do is say no , or say give it a few weeks.... Regards Alan...

Two things , your I.A. is required to check your gear horn and rigging (visual on the rigging) at every annual , I know mine does because I do my own annuals with him supervising , if this is not the case get a new I,A, .... Secondly as far as a camera for the gear , it is very common for folks to mount mirrors at the wingtip leading edge to be able to see if the gear is down.....On a lot of twins you can see the reflection of the gear in the spinners..... I was told that the Crash with Senator Heinz was a true tragedy as the gear was supposed to be visible in the spinners...... ( Heinz died in a midair with a Helo checking to see if the gear was down , the aircraft crashed into a schoolyard and killed children on the ground as well as the people in the aircraft) not sure if the reflection thing is true because I don't fly twins...

I was under the understanding , that drag produced by lift was induced drag , and drag produced by other means (cooling , antennas , etc,) was parasitic....Please correct me if I am wrong , the flaps on the Mooney , are lift devices as opposed to drag devices...

The manual gear is easy to know by feel , Place your thumbtip inbetween the upper mount and the shaft where the ramp is , When it is in and locked , it has a very distinct feel , if not locked in , too much of your thumbtip will fit in the recess , and you will know by feel it is not locked....

Every time I hear somebody say you cant get it slow enough , it would fly so different , I would see this or that , the horn , the light etc etc ....I have to laugh , Do you think everybody who gears up is stupid , complacent , an idiot ????? It happens to very experienced pilots EVERYDAY.......EVERYDAY !!!!!! If that's the way you truly feel about this subject , you will never learn from the mistakes of others........From personal experience , it was something that broke me from my routine and created enough distraction that I forgot to do the checklist.......(super heavy gust in the flare initiating a go around and fell from checklist) ......

About thirty times each flight after my prop go around incident , Now at least three times , two of them on final...

Quite the opposite of parasitic drag , they increase induced drag , as they decrease laminar separation....and increase lift.....

I am a reseller...

Tip tanks??

Its the complete picture ....They fit so many missions ....also that was 165 indicated , take it up to 8K and its 175 plus... Big roomy cabin , rugged gear , ease of maintenance.... I truly love the Mooneys that I have owned , But when I have owned both , the only reason I was flying the Mooney , was to save fuel costs....

You are now a member of the C.S.O.B. club (Cheap son of a beech)...

Tony , you will be pleasantly overwhelmed , The Mooney group , and the Bonanza group are both great groups....You are in for a treat...

My name is Alan , and I am a Bonanzaholic............
