Nowhere again, the same argument for the Porsche PFM is the same argument from 12 years ago, it doesn’t work. Mostly because of the life limited valve springs that are not available anywhere and they weren’t available 12 years ago either. The Argument is the same as for buying a Learjet 25, a very pretty and fast cool looking lawn ornament.

The Rh goes down but that automatically goes down as warmer air holds more water. But what’s the total grains of water per cubic foot? Also corrosion increases as temperature increases, if the water content is the same.

I used to fly for angel flight. The waiver protects them from lawsuits from the passengers. But it doesn’t protect you one bit. I don’t fly for them anymore after finding this out. Again it’s not the passenger who is the only threat. The bereaved spouse who was counting on that 300k income for ten more years now wants 3m. Your policy pays 100k a seat. You pay the rest. If you have assets they are at risk. The ins company does have a duty to defend, but it’s you or your estate who pays over the 100k. I’m not saying don’t take people flying. But evaluate your relationship and the risk.

Those waivers are marginal at best, because the passenger can’t sign away the rights of his heirs or his family to sue you. And they will.

Bill Cunningham at power masters in Tulsa would be my first call. Second would be western skyways.

Price?

Wow. Did not know that !

Where is this setting?

Gary was a great guy. We met him at the Kerrville Mooney homecoming years back and corresponded over the years since.

Sceet is ok for some things but never where any suction can be. Like carburetor heat. The suction collapses the inner layer and starves the carburetor.

Lycomings have a requirement to Magnaflux or replace the crank gear at the end of the crank and also the lock tab and bolt. We stick new props on them and throw them back like that but we still send the engine for a teardown. Although Bill Cunningham at power Masters says all of these years doing teardown inspections he only had one crank that was cracked and that guy had sucked gear up early on takeoff and was running at full throttle, all the others were landings or hitting something while taxiing, and he said none of those were broken. But I try to tell the owners look, if somebody sees or suspects a prop strike and it wasn’t torn down it’s going to cost you big time, plus also, every time they tear these things down the lifters are shot the cams are bad the bearings are bad this is your chance to really freshen it up and get it right. Also, make sure to specify the engine shop hones the cylinders and puts in new rings, you would not believe this but one place I used just put them all back together and I just couldn’t even plus they were actually an expensive shop

What was edited ? Typos or some thing more sinister?

The newest Texas toll roads are owned by an a company that’s half Italian and half Goldman-sachs. So it’s it’s cost plus healthy profit margin plus debt service. Something may think “free state” Texas would be against. But there are other factors at play. https://www.texasturf.org/2012-06-01-03-09-30/latest-news/public-private-partnerships/210-texans-to-boycott-first-foreign-owned-toll-road

Who is the shop

That’s some strange logic if you need to sell it at a fire sale price in 4 weeks to avoid paying $800 in CPA fees for a tax return for next year. I’m sure the situation is more complicated than that,, sorry to hear this is happening to you and I wish you and all of your family the best of luck

Have y’all though about selling it whole?

I, too, have noticed that airplanes are sitting on the market longer and longer, same with Porsche 911‘s. Sellers are wanting but the buyers are not paying. I have a couple of clients in the market for a plane to replace theirs. And they look at a couple on the Internet that have been on there for weeks and I’m like look save the pre-buy money this thing is either product or price but if it hasn’t moved it won’t. The really nice airplanes that are priced fairly disappear quickly I’m like keep your powder dry and strike when you see it. But if you see it languishing on trade a plane for nine months, there’s a reason

Get a good prebuy. But only use an MSC. They’re the only ones who know mooneys.

All those photos look pretty normal to me. Those cove fairings are stamped from stainless and they work harden and they get pulled on and tugged on with some hidden screws in them and everything else and some look better than others but anyway. Also, I can’t conceive any scenario where you turn off too fast of the runway and collapse the nose gear. You might do 3 or 4 donuts then run into the ditch and then collapse the gear but you’re not going to collapse the gear with turning loads. It’s built like a shithouse in that area. Maxwell has photos of an ovation where it snapped the nose gear clean off at the pivot bolts and the plane was straight. You could stuff a new one under there and tow it away.

I think the oil cooler is built to withstand serious oil pressure too, and not just 100 PSI

Every time I use those Costco microfiber towels a little micro bubbles of water behind, which formed little spots. what does seem to work really good to get the windshield clean and dried off of those red stitched white cotton griots garage diaper soft polishing towels. Not cheap but the best I ever saw. The windshield Laid in about 200 bucks now so like cheap is relative, but $50 for a bag of super soft cloths is a deal

Can you zoom out just a little ?

Did you ever take any kind of action against this MSC who did the prebuy and then immediately condemn the rear spar?

A friend of mine has been saying that for a few days now. Very clever.
