  1. Thanks for all the input. A good discussion. I need to find a CFI who knows Mooneys in the bay area. If not, might as well get the endorsement to use the flight school's trainers.
  2. Agreed with the comments above. But also keeping in mind that: Not a lot of CFIs have Mooney experience and not certain about wanting to really power-on stall a Mooney.
  3. I am curious as to whether it is best to do the B.F.R. in my Mooney, or simply use a flight school's trainer type plane. Wondering what Mooney owners choose to do and why.
  4. Anyone with experience with landing a mooney in the high sierra ?

    MoGas?

    8.5:1 for 180hp and 8.7:1 for 200hp (naturally aspirated) http://www.lycoming.com/engines/series/pdfs/360ci%20Engine%20Insert.pdf

    2016 seems to be the EPA deadline. Looks like C engine maker is pushing for 94UL and Diesel while engine maker L wants a "no lead" 100. unless a no lead 100 is found, we could endup with a derated engine (<200hp), or a derated IO-390 or a new engine a critical issue for Mooney owners (and others) IMHO. Not as critical for others where Mogas STC are very common.
  7. Installed the Artex ME406. Adcvertised as having the same footprint as previous Artex (Artex 200), but that turned out not to be the case. The foot print needs a slight modification. Also you will need to pull an extra wire between the remote switch and the ELT (which is behind the battery).
  8. ~$800 for seat belts ??
  9. Any alternative to Alpha belts with ? Not sure I can justify what Alpha asks for the inertial belts.
