    Whats the full fuel payload of an Acclaim or Bravo? And what would it be like with 200 gallons on board? Turbines are thirsty.

    We cannot compete against 800$/mo wages such as in asia. Import tariffs, quotas, and other protectionist laws helped but they were weakened long ago.

    It's the density altitude you are actually looking at

    Chinese company bought them.

    That's a great idea

    I know a good running clean wing E can give a J a run for the money. 155 TAS all day

    I have no data but I think over the course of 500 or 1000 hours some dust makes its way into the gyros from normal shutdowns. When you shut down, the pump is putting out low vacuum at idle, and when you kill it, the engine winds down over a few seconds. Failure in flight is more a sudden stoppage from 5" or more of vacuum. That could cause some real reversion. AMTonline explains some. http://www.amtonline.com/publication/article.jsp?pubId=1&id=1426&pageNum=1

    I think so, N601RX (Mike) might have it, there is higher pressure in the cowl than the cabin, so after the pump fails, carbon dust and air flow from the pump to the gyros.

    There will be no ethanol in aviation gasoline.

    Since 1995.

    I think it has more to do with vacuum inside the cases, and reverse flow when the pump fails. I have heard of gyros going bad within a hundred hours after the pump goes. Call AQI or TGH and ask them if they see carbon in gyros sent in for overhaul. I bet they do.

    The gyro cases have 5" of vacuum in them, and every time you shut down, and especialy when the pump suddenly fails, carbon dust gets sucked into the gyros. Thats how I understand it. The reason they developed the CV1J4 filter was to stop this carbon dust. Correct me if I am wrong, but the filter darkens with accumulated hours. We bought one and are waiting to install it next week, after overhauling the DG and soon to be the atitude gyro as well. http://www.aerotechcomponents.com/products.html#history

    Thats probably ram air open.

    Interior plastic parts are ABS, which, aside from being flimsy, is really easy to repair. You solvent weld it with ABS glue.

    Just like the ads for gasoline that "cleans deposits from intake valves, robbing you of power". I have torn down many fuel injected engines, and never saw a vlave covered in a blob of deposits. its all hype and fear, over something that does not exist. It does not exist.

    hey, MMO works!

    That's it. We are going. Texas BBQ is something you can only get....in Texas.

    OK, here is the deal on the car. If you go to www.orbitz.com and book Enterprise rent a car in Kerrville, it is right across the street from the Y-O Ranch. The price is 71$ total for Friday AM -Monday AM. You leave the car at the Y-O if leaving Sunday, as Enrterprise is closed. MAPA has a deal with a van service to pick you up at the airport and drop you off. So, instead of paying 175$ (55$ a day) for a car delivered to the airport, you can do it for 71$ total.

    I find it funny it was developed by a pilot with a BS in Chemistry (or at least he attended college) and he is wearing an airline uniform although he never flew for a living at all. Wow, it burns less fuel, goes farther, faster, and runs cooler to boot! Amazing

    I'm asking Bill wheat just how they got 201 MPH from a M20J back in 1976 at Kerrville.

    Well said, Andy. our plane currently only has heading mode and altitude hold. GPSS would be a whole new dimension. Perhaps an Aspen is in our future.

    John, he can't come soon enough!

    After you do a couple 201 mods to an early Mooney, you can just buy an early J for the same money, and you get the panel, cowl, gear doors, induction system, an extra 12" all for free.
  25. jetdriven
    Yes, shame on you. The wing falls off on a Mooney when the same wing is rated at 3600 LBS gross weight or your same model has a 200 LB increase in gross weight based on a paperwork change. Shame on you.
