  1. I doubt you need a tax consultant at this time which I am, your in need of an attorney to prepare the LLC in accordance with Indiana and Illinois. An error in preparation of your initial documents is essential to protect you, your members and property. Ideally they need to investigate your local airports rules and regulations, in addition to various tax rules of both states. DB
  2. Without question Mr Weber was one of the nicest most honest men you’d have the honor to meet. He was a no nonsense guy who meant what he said and said what he meant. I always felt fairly treated at his shop in addition it’s carried on in my opinion. Unfortunately we’re running out of up and coming youngsters who want to get into the business. DB
  3. Well Ross I’ve got your answer, I’m not attempting to be a smart ass but providing my facts. Around about 1985 I had a very nice Cherokee 160, my instructor had a Mooney model E nice I became enamored with his speed when he passed me one Sunday on our way to lunch at Lancaster which is the home of Weber Mooney Service and Sales. I didn’t want him to pass me again so Mr Henry Weber a very nice honest man made me a great deal on a 1977 201 J which worked well until Mooney went into financial difficulties 1988 they offered planes at a huge discount over prior years but using direct marketing good ol Dirk Vandersee found my contact info and talked us into a looksee he flew a new 1988 up to Wilmington my wife said as long as it’s not red we can be nice and say no and take him to dinner. Coming down the ILS was a nice red and white J being new was faster and new equipment one problem nice Mr Weber wanted to know why I’d buy from Mooney passing him by not giving him a chance I politely informed him of the huge discount he mentioned son, yep I was young at one time but stupid, he said he will beat Mooney’s deal easy any time …why the heck would they cut my throat he said ..after all I’ve done to help the company. So Mr Dirk the deals off I’m dealing with Mr Weber, I still go there by the way, oh back to the E model and the need for speed I was talking to Ross about, well some 17 years later we wanted to do a lot more trips so along came a new red Bravo GX long range tanks the Mooney company again in financial difficulty …so I get my last great deal on a Mooney in my quest for speed like Andrei, unfortunately the company being somewhat the sleez they can be and I didn’t know Mooneyscape or any other social site to provide info that a Mooney Acclaim was being introduced I purchased from Premiere who didn’t let the cat out of the bag. Ultimately due to unscrupulous insurance agents I sold the Bravo believing I would’nt be able to get insurance after age 75, after selling the Bravo my lying agent found insurance and I ended up with the speed queen a Mooney Acclaim TypeS. Sorry Ross I really thought it wouldn’t be so voluminous to write up my question for speed like Andrei.
  4. Mike has super long tanks..
  5. No although I thought he was going to fall to sleep I only did 11,000 and 12,000 due to his issue
  6. We’re all different in the way we breath and the saturation for each.eg using no oxygen at 8,000 ft I’m at 88% while Fran is still in the in the high 90’s near 99%. Therefore I need O2 at 8,000. As we increase altitude Fran is still above 90 % at 14,000ft. While on oxygen her saturation levels did not change much. We realized she is a mouth breather so she got little benefit from the oxygen, I decided to try her on the basic mask that came with the system and her levels obviously increased. Since her sat’s are much higher than mine I need to have my flow settings quite high while hers are set considerably lower. Thinking Don’s and Shirley’s levels are similar to each other while Fran’s and mine are dramatically different surprisingly I expected the opposite between us since she’s had a few heart attacks while my heart is ok. The point being before reliance and assuming the settings of you and your passengers are in similar ranges may not be true we should early in the flight determine the oxygen needs of each. Assuming we’re in the range as given by the FAA for oxygen use shouldn’t be assumed. I went to Oshkosh last week and brought a younger guy in very good shape and some 25 years younger I was alarmed when I tested his saturation at 8,000 it was around 87% this being tested with the three oxymeters I carry.

    Flew over Denali

    +*#$”’ AWESOME D
  8. Mark I must have spoken to same guy, I have one sure fly now and want two. The Garmin tach and need for another dedicated battery, I currently have dual batteries threw him for a stump. You’d think they’d have good salespeople to sell and promote there products D
  9. Must be a W Va thing.
  10. Thanks Don I’ll get back to you after Oshkosh D
  11. When I had a new top I flew it hard for a few hours after 5-8 hours my CHTs dropped drastically ie. 30-40* and everything stabilized FF Temps etc now 150 hours alls still good. I believe the proper break in is most important DB
  12. I’m saying the screws which hold the arm to the two end brackets won’t hold it from moving, obviously I can’t explain it properly.
  13. Don no matter what screws I try I can’t stop the visors I got from you awhile ago. Once installed the won’t stay put, any suggestions on screws. Thanks DB
  14. With AirVenture fast approaching curious on what weather programs your utilizing to make your go/no decisions.
