1964-M20E

Flying home form the Mooney Summit I noticed my Senesrcon was reading 20 to 30ppm CO usually it reads 5ppm or less. I pulled the cowling and found that #4 flange gasket was leaking. All 4 gaskets were replaced over the weekend because you can't get one off by itself with the slip joints.

There is a long body in New Orleans KNEW painted purple and gold. I saw it Saturday when I went to fly the R22 helicopter. I didn't get the tail number. I was told I need to paint mine in my school colors that is easy blue and silver nothing too outlandish for the next owner.

Welcome aboard. Wow you do have a project going on. Looking at the bright side you get to rewire the entire panel and it will be clean and not have remnants from 50 years of installations and modifications. Plan you panel well for now and for the future modifications you may want to do. Too bad Dynon is ready for prime time yet that would be a sweet fit with what you currently have. @Alan Fox Alan Fox is someone who you want to know. He will probably have any of the miscellaneous parts you may need for your project. PM him a list of what you need. Just a thought if it is still available there was a 200HP STC for the C models. If you are doing the engine as well you might consider upgrading to the IO360 and 200HP. It will make the C a little more capable and essentially you would have an E model after that. Good luck and Mooney Space is a wealth of information. Sometimes you have to weed though some extraneous comments though. Post some more photos now and as you complete the project we all would love to see the progress.

I believe it usually is the March or April time frame but Seth will be able to tell you. @Seth

I have similar limits on travel for work as well.

https://aerovonics.com/av-30 pretty neat option if the other RC Allen doesn't work out. More $ but more function as well.

From the Surefly web site but we know how reliable that can be.I *Status: Testing is complete. Engine STC expected by the end of September. The Airframe STC should follow shortly thereafter. We should have FAA MIDO cleared by the end of September. Mass production of certified units expected to commence in October. Stay tuned RIGHT HERE for additional updates! I like these but I like the E-mag better it has a built in power source so if you lose ship power it still works. However, I believe they are further behind than Surefly and approvals.

Bless you my son for you will be walking with the heathens of air travel. Say 10 our fathers and 10 hail mary's. Stand strong and resist the temptation to sin again.

They were there and they had the wing tips but I did not inquire as to the price.

You might try these guys they donated one to the Mooney Summit for a door prize. Nav Strobe lighting - Par 36 LED landing light

Heading west along the gulf coast I just waited to pick up flight following with Eglin after Tyndall said they were too busy. Which I found strange at the time because they were not talking much. I did get 3 different transponder squawk codes before I reached Destin though. Going southeast from KECP Tyndall controls that whole sector from just west of KECP to Apalachee Bay around TERES then you usually turned over to Tallahassee approach. Going north form KECP I believe it is Carins Approach that controls that sector. Finally going west you have Eglin. If you head due south you will have to pick up Cuba in a few hours but you will start out with Jacksonville. Given some of the airspace around KECP you are somewhat limited but here are some suggestions. Going north: KECP to CUGAR thence .... (note CUGAR is a GPS waypoint) Going north east: KECP to MAI thence .... Going West along the gulf coast: KECP to PHIPS, DESTN thence... Going to central and south FL: KECP to TERES thence...

Closest would be KBTR. I've only been there a few times myself as close as it is. It is not that terribly far from the stadium. Using a ab or uber probably is the best way to get around once there. I've never been to a Tigers game but I imagine parking and traffic are not pleasant. KREG Gonzales would be a pretty straight shot on I10 west into baton Rouge but you will need a car and fight the I10 traffic which can get pretty long on I10 west into BR. There is someone here that lives in BR but I do not remember who.

no and even if you find it in the plane and the hangar fairies do their magic it will regenerate in about 2 months and be worse than before. The best thing you can do is feed a little each day and then it will not be so hungry in the future and demand large sums of cash.

Glad it was just a bruised knee. As to why pull the prop through I was told a similar tale that it loosened things up for the starter. Maybe an OWT. I still do it make sure the engine will turn over if not then I'm not going l flying that day and no use in finishing the pre flight and dragging the plane outside.

Here is the plane that could not catch me.

You need to get a polarizing filter that will help to remove the glare form the windows. I'll be sending you some of Alan's plane. Oh and I was holding back on the Mooney and y'all still could not keep up with in the Bonanza.

Mr. Fusion to be precise. Than and the flux capacitor.

Go to Sharky's have a beer, shout hoary we are here. When Sharky's kicks you out at closing time sleep on the beach. See y'all tomorrow.

Looks looks like 201er has recently landed.

He's going in the wrong direction unless he plans on circling the world to get to FL.

Yes 2 gallons per person. Chances are you will not need it but it's good practice.
