1964-M20E

It was summer of 1978. I was a cadet in CAP at summer encampment Barksdale AFB in N. Louisiana. I broke my arm and rather than ride 9 hours home on a 1953 old Ford Air Force bus Col. Sartess had his Mooney there and was flying back to New Orleans so I got my first look at and ride a Mooney 201.

That's one reason why I don't like all glass. Can you go to ASPEN, JPI etc or combination of them?

I had similar experience. I chose the farther airport. In my case it was own my own hangar for a lot less per month than to tie down outside (2.3X the $) much closer to my house. To be inside a group hangar it is even more 4.6X$. I have since built a nice office inside my hangar and it makes hangar days and annual more enjoyable for the 45 minute drive. Choose closer if all other things are close to equal.

The only time I recall doing a go-around for cause instead of for training the order was the same but the speed at which it was done was quicker. I was practicing approaches weather was about 10SM, 010 OVC I was returning to my home field a turf strip. There were other factors going on during the approach and I was high and fast and the wheels touched well down the strip which was also wet at the time. Realizing that I would not be able to stop the plane before the end of the runway I fire-walled everything immediately established my climb cleared the wires at the end of the field and went around for another landing which was successful.

Flying home from SnF I was monitoring Jacksonville Center and heard those famous words for someone else. NXXXXX advise when ready to copy a number for Possible pilot deviation. The pilot did do it right just took the number and deal with it later.

left side is the part where the hot exhaust gases go to get de-compressed, right side is where the cool clean air goes to get compressed (becomes hot air)and the middle gets the slippery stuff that keeps everything turning.

had a good time

use a harness and attach to a short rope tied to tow bar behind the back seats. this gives enough to move around and be comfortable and make sure the dog stays in the back seat. it also helps if someone can sit in the back with the pup.

of course now it is ambiguous as to what temperature you are measuring. Is it inlet temp? outlet temp? or internal temp?

been there done that go-around,

Look for police spot lights by Whelen

Instead of all the headaches ou should have just bought a spare incandesent and kep it for when you decide to sell.

I had to do a double take! I thought either someone grafted a Mooney tail on a C172 or photo shopped it on there.

Who's planning to do Sun n Fun this year? Camping? Hotel? Daily commute?

complete reseal kits for flap pumps, the leather backings are difficult to find.

might be nice but my main mission flight is 3.5 to 4 hours. I tend to agree if you are going to go electric go with a new design. However, maybe a carbon fiber copy of the F model. Carbon fiber fuselage and tail section and a new carbon fiber wing. We need as strong not stronger and much lighter airframe to pack more batteries to get a 5 hour duration. I do like manual gear and B style manual flaps.

materials wood, steel etc. along with everything else is high now. Start with HOA specifications and then see what building code the county is using.

vacuum high and low warning lights?

just do it and those dreams of skimming just above the ground will go away with the reality that you can do that without an engine and propeller blocking your view

congratulations, helicopters are like crack cocaine very addictive

When checking pull grease fittings on prop hub and check for motor oil. It is rare but oil can get past the piston seal and lock the prop on fine pitch.

the best oil is circulated oil, fly often my friend. I run P66 20W-50 or any other aviation piston oil if needed. I know some who won't run anything but Shell 100W to each his own.

if you can't get the gear down go to any grass strip and stop engine on final. Years ago we had a 210 land at our grass strip coming home from fresh paint job. very little damage

I don't think the spacer would cause this. The main part of the gear showing wear is not affected by the spacer on top of the shock disc link. I would look at the main gear retraction truss. With the gear half retracted see how much play there is at the main retract tension bar and the retract truss.

Fire it up and get running start and fly over the snow.
