Depends on the airframe but i am taking the 5th on this. Join us and see for yourself. But i’ll share that with one Ovation student we did the demo to measure drag on his airframe and the gear created a significantly more amount of drag over full flaps but he preferred the lighter stick forces in the Go Around following the POH method.

Yes, same weekend as the Summit this year. Now at our next one at Branson in October we're doing our Mooney PPP in conjunction with Mooney Max, same hotel same banquet for dinner. The PPP overlaps with the last 2 days of the Mooney Max event.

The international use upcharge has been my problem as well. Really don't need it in the US since I have Sirius XM and Ads-B on my panel displays. But what I am really interested in is international travel; particularly Mexico and Latin America where we have no weather service. Europe is in the same boat. Starlink keeps updating their plans. Today they're showing $70/month for the Roam 50GB plan (and $189 for Unlimited data ). But despite the plan going up to $70 from $50/month it might be more reasonable for international trips now since the latest terms say: Roam plans include: ..... International travel is allowed in available markets for up to 2 months per trip. If you plan to stay longer, you may be asked to transfer your account to a new country. Learn more here. So if I am interpreting this correctly to mean I can use the 50GB Roam plan for up to to 2 months at at time out of the US this is good news concerning international use. Bahama's might be another challenge though while traveling as these plans only work within 12 miles of shore, as they say a maritime plan is needed to work outside of over land and more than 12 miles off shore.

The original Duke pumps were not rated for continuous duty and burned out pretty quickly. Overhauled though get better parts and rated for continuous duty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do your best to route those EDM wires away from the ignition wires; allowing them to be in close proximity to ignition wires will cause unnecessary noise in the readings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Although the early Mooney electric boost pumps burned out pretty quickly when left on, these days once overhauled they’re all rated for continuous duty. Thus it shouldn’t be the problem or concern it was years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What kind of tube does your IPC call for- angled stem? I’d be surprised if Mooney spec’s a tube with stem that rubbed against the wheel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Control surfaces would have to re-skinned if PDR can’t be used due to balance constraints. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

the most amazing thing about this accident is that the plane didn’t go down on the first failed approach. So much poor ADM including attempting flying an RNAV approach to minimums with a portable VFR GPS and even failing to track an ILS on a subsequent approach showed get-there-itis enabled the pilot to get in way over his capabilities that night. I’d be surprised if there weren’t some large law suits from the pax’s surviving families. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is an opportunity to exercise your superior aeronautical decision making rather than rely on superior airmanship if your engine driven fuel pump also develops an issue and ground your bird till you can get your boost pump replaced or repaired. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought a set as well not that long ago from Peerless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So a few people say, but i’ve never had a flat in over 20+ years of using them. Can’t help but suspect some of these reported flats are pinch flats. But what do i know since never had a flat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
