Just buy the cirrus. This is the exact thing they were designed for.

I have a frankecooler build. There’s a major difference that is not difficult to figure out, but I don’t want to repost his plans. The difference is that the cooled air is not humidified, and the ice tends to say a bit longer. Video of my setup if you can bear with the video I have no idea how to rotate properly.

I think Steve-o of YouTube fame mentioned a $95k annual for a TBM 830. Yikes.

I put a strike finder in with one of my recent upgrades. Find it useful to correlate the nexrad with.

I’d recommend in the following order 252, TN F (prob best UL) or a 231.

Can someone enlighten us about friction modifiers and starters for continental engines.

@Heybluez I did my primary at CHO - absolutely love Charlottesville and central VA. Take it to @AGL Aviation or @jetdriven. My wife’s family lives at LYH - there is an MSC there - but you can read between the lines. You can PM me for details. -B

... Which can be a real jerk

Sorry I confused my self between data types. Could the A&P generate the acceptable data?

So the answer is it wouldn’t be considered a major mod with regard to any of the criteria. But it would lack approved data. So no you can’t.

Get any PMA or TSOd dome light and install it as a minor mod with a logbook entry. This is the single best major minor 337 etc presentation I’ve encountered.

Here’s a picture of “a” switch assembly found on the internet, not attached to any particular n-number of course, where this grounding was inadvertently discovered when the brass screw was broken off during removal. Clearly showing the mounting of the grounds versus the lines. If you look up the wires attached to the yellow ring terminal, they are all grounds from the left wing The wire attached to the red terminal is from the engine gauge cluster

Mine are also Swiss cheese. When I need to reorganize the panel - radiorax

@chriscalandroThis is the OEM design. It hasn’t been touched. This is not my circuit breaker panel. It’s the circuit breaker switches (representative example photo attached, not my actual panel)

It’s actually really well organized. Mooney did a good job of labeling every wire and connector. Avionics shops over 40 years - not so much. You can look up any wire in the original airframe and know where it is, what it does, where it’s coming from and where it’s going to.

@carusoam Anthony sometimes a picture is worth 1000 words

I found that out the hard way a few years ago skip.

Hey @MikeOH - those two wires that I circled In the picture aren’t connected to the circuit breaker lines - apologies if I was not clear. Those are grounds from the left wing (right wire including strobe Nav and pitot heat) and the the ground from the frame of the engine gauge cluster (left wire) that are attached to the mounting screws by a small nut on a couple of the housings first the circuit breaker switches themselves This is pretty clearly laid out in the service manual wiring diagram as grounds returning to switches. When I did my last avionics upgrade I took all ground paths I could find to a grounding bar. Almost all my electrical gremlins with the exception of my dancing strobes and some small alternator whine are gone. A hangar elf told me that if you take the gauge cluster ground and attach it to a central ground point like a ground bar, they will stop dancing as well. It’s just an observation that there are sources of electrical noise.

I like the first one 6-2. The skinny forward part makes it look hella fast. Just a hat tip - look at my tail. I have the same colors and I asked them to pain the tail in the least noticeable but still legal 12” numbers - went with gray at it looks great because it doesn’t interfere with the front to back lines. If you need something to break up a big patch of white, use shadowed or darker colored lettering, like Oscar. . *** edit. It’s 6-2 I like with the pointy

Scotty explains dilithium crystals are limited to experimental category - so the enterprise is using lead acid crystals instead, and can only achieve warp 2.

So I’ve only ever build two rigs - AMD was my first and Intel was me second. I used nvidia cards for both. I was considering an i7-10th gen. But looking at the 3990. 1) wow and 2) wow $$$$. Way out of my budget but impressive.

“Instead if landing on the Gulf of Mexico, space dads bob and doug landed at a Labatt Ice brewery where they met up @M20Doc ... eh”.

I had mine bail. He washed out entirely. Best part was I got a great few instructors out of his departure.

If not pickled, or you don’t do invasive things to evaluate, or are willing to consider the cost of overhaul as part of your calculus ...

Also Bob and Doug coming home. Learned that space capsules have green and red lights, and a strobe. Is that some sort of NASA inside joke or something? Missing rotating beacon so I'm sure FAA will have a fit. They certainly do not have 360 degrees of anti collision coverage.
