    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
  6. Scooter
    Yes. One and the same. I just keep calling it a Trutrak before they sold out

    Hey everybody, Just posted this in avionics but thought I would post it here as well. Latest update from Duncan. Thought I would share. We have made progress, Duncan engineering has finished the revised drawings and revised installation instructions. Now Bendix King's ODA will need to approve this data as supplemental instructions for the STC We are hoping for BK ODA approval around the end of 3rd quarter of 2025 (estimated). Thanks

    I did read somewhere or was told by a IA that the lines going to the oil cooler does matter. Reverse your lines and see if that helps. Some thing about air bubbles and air bubbles rising.

    Just read an M20TN down in Sparta Tenn with three fatalities. Three people traveling in a small plane died on Saturday after crashing about one mile south of a rural airport in Sparta, Tennessee. RIP

    Yes American Aircraft Engines. Just before I was walking out they were installing a dyno for engine run up and testing instead of just putting it on the stand. Their time if I recall was like 2 months but I told them to take their time because I had other things going on. As far as cylinder options you would have to talk to them. I got the mellinium.

    Had those in a 210 in Texas. Only air we got. They work great. No speed restriction as far as I know. Up at altitude and during the winter would shut them down. Only drawback was cutting the windows. Have to be very careful not to crack the window.

    Just had my O360 overhauled at American Aircraft in Tulsa. $31 out the door. They do all the rebuilds on the Civil Air Patrol. Great people to work with.

    Hey Guys and Gals, Just got this in for the latest update. Hello Scooter Good news - We have one more meeting to look over the drawings that, the Bendix King and Duncan Engineering, created. These revised additional drawings will be completed this month, then FAA approval after that... We still believe it will be the Q2 of 2025 (is our latest estimate). Scooter

    Hey guys and gals. Got this 12/2/2024, so pretty current. Hi Scooter, We are hoping the Bendix King and Duncan Engineering, to create revised additional drawings will be completed in January or February of 2025, then FAA approval after that... Q2 of 2025 is our latest estimate.

    Does anybody have the patterns for the felt and baffles? Thanks Scooter
  17. Scooter
    Thanks Pinecone. Appreciated
  18. Scooter
    Yeah I was looking for part number and serial number. Thanks
  19. Scooter
    I thought that somebody had posted with pics the military style “pull to move” toggle switches? It was a replacement for the ignition switch. Does anybody have that?

    Looking for input on the different models of the stormscopes. Am looking a purchasing one for IFR flying. There are so many models out there so I am looking for one that does the job that is reasonably priced. Any ideas?
  21. Scooter
    Thanks everybody for the knowledge and the reply's. It just looks like I am going to have to bite the bullet and do it if I want that kind of gps.

    Is there any chance that we have have another forum for classifed or swaps? I would rather part with equipment to another Mooney owner than sell it on ebay or barnstormers. Just a thought. Not being a computer programer (I am lucky that I know where the on/off button is) I don't know how difficult that is.
  23. Scooter
    Yea, but I was hoping that they would go with a full 1000 or something and want to get rid of it. Just a thought. I saw one on Barnstormers and it ended up being a scam for 3990. Just like the American dream wanting something for nothing. As much as I have put into the upgrade it is hard to justify 7 AMU for a nav/com system. Already have two new coms so don't really need the com and have a tablet so the 430 was to be primary nav and the tablet back up.
  24. Scooter
    Anybody upgrading their panel to the new Garmin glass or that is getting rid of a 430W I would be interested in talking to you. I am currently in the market for a 430W. Redoing the interior of the M20C. Let me know.
