My son got his ppl in our Mooney..... But, we had him learn to land in a rental... Mooneys are not that hard to land, but I think leaving botched landings in a rental there is more forgiveness and less repair costs.. If you ding up a rental, you leave it with the rental insurance and go to the next rental on the line. If you ding up your Mooney, it stays with you, and you will down until repairs are completed.... Additionally, there are very few CFI's that are that familiar with our planes compared to P or C. (my son soloed in a cub)

The guide is a great read. I am not interested in selling right now, but it is nice to know what affects the resale vaule.

That would be a game changer. The next question is: Can the electrical grid handle the load?

A bit surprised about your service as well. They were excellent when I had questions.

+1 for yetti on this... It is very easy to temporarily swap 2&4 probes and verify there isn't something about the probes.

So, you are finding a brown gooey substance... Over time, avags will oxidize, and Polymerize to create a brown looking, gooey mess. I would be very concerned if you had jet-a contamination. It really sounds like a very slow seep over time. If it appears in the fuel sample... it could be from the seep. But, it should be a very minute amount of material

I’m asking because I’m no chemist... if 8 gallons of gas (~48lbs) get burned, how does it turn into ~213lbs of byproduct (150lbs CO2 & 9 gallons water)? Is it combining with that much O2 while burning? My simple mind says the weight in vs weight out should be similar... in simplest terms, each molecule of gasoline(octane C8H18) uses 17 molecules of Oxygen and produces 8 molecules of CO2 and 18 molecules of Water. so the 8 gals of gas has approximately 40.5 lbs of pure C atoms and 7.5 lbs of H. The 40.5 lbs of C consumes 216 lbs of oxygen the end result is what you get.

Hate to say this, but pure N2 is just a scam for most applications.... There is much misinformation on this subject simply because the tire dealerships see the advantage in charging for filling tires. Unless you are flying a jet or other very cold application where freezing water may become an issue. N2 doesn't hurt, but it also is no advantage for most of us piston engine single guys. Do the research. quick read and not overly techical https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Physical_and_Theoretical_Chemistry_Textbook_Maps/Map%3A_Physical_Chemistry_for_the_Biosciences_(Chang)/02%3A_Properties_of_Gases/2.9%3A_Graham's_Laws_of_Diffusion_and_Effusion

Thanks Dan, This is a great idea and I am happy to see you keep it going. They are great people to work with.

Sounds good. How much for shipping? I presume we can use your paypal account.. craig

@Alan Fox looking for a fuel access panel. 610036-504 (the one that has the fuel cap) craig

Yes, thanks

He thought I had one in my plane. He very rarely works on avionics. This was the first one he has done for the GDL-82.

HI all My mechanic asked me if I had or could find a form 337 for the installation of a GDL-82 ADS-B. Does anyone have one to share?
