  1. I have the same problem. My #6 has been as much as 100 degrees below my hottest cylinder. For some reason the 231 baffling only covers the lower half of the cylinder. Yet on #5 it covers most of the cylinder. I used some aluminum tape on #6 to cover up similar to #5 and I helped a lot. I plan to remake that forward baffling to cover more than it currently does. cheers, Dan
  2. Haha. I’d be happy to go get the Mooney with you too. I’ll message you when I get back. cheers, Dan
  3. Hi Rick, I’m based in Winona. You can come and take a look at my Mooney sometime. I’m also a Mooney CFI and can help with the transition training after purchase. I’m in south Florida with my Mooney now, but will be back home in just over a week. cheers, Dan
  4. Hi Mike, They are still useful for yes/no of CO until at least 6 years of age. Possibly up to 10 years. Almost all that I have tested have only drifted 4 or 5ppm after they have passed their 2 year calibration window. That being said, I recommend having 2 CO detectors. That way one is always checking the other. I actually have 5 in the airplane now. hahaha. Cheers, Dan
  5. They will still operate after they need calibration. But they can't guaranty the accuracy if they have not been calibrated. So continue to use it until you get it calibrated. I have CO calibration gas that I bring to Airventure and the Mooney Summit. If you are at either this next year I can calibrate. But if you are in buffalo, you can go to Sensorcon. I don't know what their current charge is, but they are a great company. Unfortunately I don't have any contacts there anymore as they did loose some key people recently. Hopefully I can reconnect with them in the new year. Cheers, Dan
  6. I used Rudy Instruments this past year to OH my altimeter. Did great work and the price was reasonable. Cheers, Dan
  7. Thanks! It was a lot of fun. Next year will be better yet! Cheers, Dan
  8. Thanks! Alex did a fantastic job getting everything lined up. We will start the planing process for next year in a few weeks, I'm really looking forward to it! It was great meeting you, as well as everyone else. Can't wait until next year. Cheers, Dan
  9. Congratulations on the decision. I know keeping it outside and close is doable. But having a hangar has so many benefits, you will love it. What airport did you end up at? Cheers, Dan
  10. Kelly Aerospace will be providing lunch and dinner that evening. No need to bring lunch. cheers, Dan
  11. @1980Mooney posted some great stuff! But the POH linked is for a 252 and there are many differences. Specifically between the MB an LB engines. Also, the 79 231's airspeed indicator came in mph instead of kts. So referencing v-speeds you will have to multiply by 1.15. Unless yours has been converted to kts. Someplace online there is a 79 K POH in .pdf.. Unfortunately I don't know where but google should help you find one. 231's are great airplanes! Your going to love it. Cheers, Dan
  12. The activities will start around 11am on the 6th. I expect many to arrive both on the 5th and 6th by mid day. Cheers, Dan
  13. That is correct! The 6th will be “Airport Day” so if you can get there the first half of the day you can participate if the activities there. cheers, Dan
  14. John, the Saturday seminar will be at the Tampa international airport, TPA. Friday we will be at Peter O Night again. Sorry for the confusion. The days are Oct 6th and 7th. The 6th is airport day at Peter O Night, and the 7th is the seminar held at TPA. With the evening banquet afterwards at American Social next to the Westin. This year the seminar is held at a different airport than airport day. But most of us will be using ground transportation to get there. cheers, Dan
  15. This is something we are hoping to do. This year we opted to go back to Tampa because they have been so good to the Summit and promoting aviation safety. We didn't consider hurricane season at all, but you are right. Maybe we can change it next year. Cheers, Dan
