Has a time and place been determined yet? Like to plan ahead and attend. It definitely sounds like an interesting class with a lot of good item’s being covered.

All it takes is AMU. More AMU more toys…

That crackling after MRT is added sounds like the Apollo rocket after they lit the fuse.

Just talked to Guy today. He had two sets of Sceet for the M20C. I purchased one of them. Comes as a set for everything you need under the cowling. Said from here on out was going to have to special order. Very easy to work with and very professional. Bought today and already shipped out. Thanks Guy.

I use to fly into Baton Rouge. They had a car and Tony’s down on Plank road had some really good Cajun food. Best known for their catfish. Swimming on one end and fried on the other. Only problem was it was more of a take out and we would go back to the FBO and devour it there.

This is the latest from Duncan. Received yesterday. Hi Charles, Sorry for the delay, on your voicemails... We have stock on all STC Kits.... But, we are not expecting Bendix King ODA approval on the amended drawings and installation instructions until middle of 2026. Thanks

Aero Comfort 210-340-0177. Hector. Redid my seats. Easy to work with. Very accommodating. Will build to what you want or will give you clues to comfort. All certified.

Have you done a current weight and balance? If the aircraft has been modified or changed it might be cheap knowledge.

I used to practice this in a PC 12. 800 feet was the altitude needed to successfully complete. Practiced in the sim multiple times prior to field. Actually worked well with room to spare. However, as stated above many variables to take into consideration.

Oxygen is a dry gas. If you are using aviation oxygen there should not be any water involved. That is one of the reasons that during long transports or continuous use of oxygen they incorporate water downstream to moisturize it. It is also one of the reasons for the tank checks every five years. It checks for rust and moisture in the tank. As you’re coming down from altitude the heat inversion should melt any ice that is in the system.

Thanks. Done

This is the latest and greatest from Duncan. Looks like it is held up at Bendix. Hi Scooter Yeah, this is hard to stomach and I am sad for Mooney operators.... I wish we could get some traction with upper management at the OEM to get this pushed forward...but this is where we are at the moment... The original STC drawings and installation instructions have been revised by Duncan Aviation Engineering, which was sent off to Bendix King in June of 2025. BK Engineering has been evaluating the revised Duncan information (for several months now), and once that evaluation is completed, BK Engineering will ask the BK ODA to approve this additional data "as approved supplemental data to use with the original STC". We are hoping to have the BK ODA approve on this revised data the end of Quarter 4 of 2025, but additional parts have to be designed, manufactured and added to the original STC kits (which won't happen until approximately the end of Quarter 1 of 2026). Thanks

I work on an ambulance and use a SPO2 monitor on all patients. I have and should notice a difference between the patients. A couple of readings I got were machine driven in that one minute it will read in the 80’s and the next it will read mid 90’s. Another factor that I have found is placement of the finger probe. Different finger’s different readings. In other words the finger is a reference.

Agree with what’s right for one may not be right for another. During chamber rides you would notice some people effected faster then others and displayed different symptoms.

I just hate to see another perfectly good flying aircraft damaged

Came with everything you need to get you going for two people.

I just got mine like donkaye recently from Jon at pure medical. He was at Sun and fun with a package deal for the rove 6. He maybe at Osh with the same deal. Give him a call.

Again I would recommend American Aircraft Engines. They rebuild all the engines for the civil air patrol. They also rebuilt mine. Great to work with and fairly quick turnaround time. They do have a website located in Ok.

Just talked to Jon as mentioned by @201Mooniac. Jon was very helpful. Talked about going to Osh and Sun n fun. Offered the discounted price that was offered during Osh. It seems that the Inogen is selling well at the shows. New version is the Rove 6. Well needless to say I am a little lighter in the wallet now. Ships tomorrow and should arrive by Thursday. Jon was a pleasure to work with.

Has anybody ever put together a list of all the sources for parts both new and used with phone numbers and points of contact? As I have read throughout Mooney space I pick up a name and number here, a different vendor or a different supplier. I would think it might be a good idea to compile a listing were we could go shopping for the parts needed to keep our babies flying in top shape

Did the military physiology during my time and covered a lot of the aspects of high altitude flying. Great course if you ever get the chance. Even went up to 45000 with rapid decompression. That was back in the old days. They only take you up to 25000 nowadays. I currently work on an ambulance and have seen the effects of low oxygen saturation. The Inogen works and will bring the O2 levels up to a satisfactory level that will keep you aware and alive.

I achieved my pilot’s license in ……. at Melbourne. It had FIT on the field and training was in Cherokee 140. At that time in History it was an aviation friendly location. Places change with time so I don’t know how it is now.

Okay guys and gals. How did you get an Inogen? I have been trying for years to score one of those but keep running into the same problem. Called the company and they say you need a doctors script. Go to my family doctor and he says that I don’t have breathing issues so he won’t write a script. Called AOPA and they told me to get a bottle. Told them I didn’t want a bottle. So what’s the secret? Thanks Scooter

Had to take Canada Air in the early 80’s and even in economy they gave you a menu with a choice for meals.

Yes this is for the pre J models. I have a M20C and that unit was being produced in Arkansas. They sold out to Duncan and name was changed to Aerocruz. I agree it doesn’t have electric trim but that would be just one more thing to break and repair. Right now my hands work well for trimming the aircraft
