I'd phoned the owner to arrange a time to look at it and he had someone coming within a few days. He never got back to me after so looks like it sold since it's no longer listed.

For me installing the Dynon will have to be a personal decision depending on pireps after the first installation, the cost for the actual installation, my need/want situation as well as what aircraft I have at the time. The alternatives to a panel with so many features now stands at only the Garmin TXi with the Dynon pricing considerably less. Here's my rendition of what a panel would look like with the Dynon. Plenty of room for the standby EFIS and Dynon's autopilot control.

HI Ned, Thanks for the offer. I can never tell what my schedule is until a couple days before so I wouldn't want to commit then not make it. I like how your wife gets involved and likes it too. Steve

Nice video and nice flying Ned.

You mention in your ad that the plane has 180 HP however the 201 M20J has 200 HP. Don't sell it short.

Any chance we'd get a deal Joel if we didn't take the key chain?

This maybe a little prejudiced since I have my J for sale and the engine is technically over TBO but this is why I'd consider buying an aircraft with a high time engine. How was the engine treated and what has been done to it over the last few hundred hours? ie: Has it been dependable and needed little work? - If the plane you're looking at hasn't had any major work done to it, has had regular oil changes, has good compressions and they can prove it's a good engine through frequent oil analysis and maybe a savvy analysis that it's been dependable you'll most likely get a few more years/hundreds of hours of trouble free flying for very little cost. Are the avionics up to date (maybe some bells and whistles included) and will you have to do any upgrades in the near future. (more money you'll save because you won't have to do updates) How much work will you have to do for the rest plane such as the interior or brakes or tires? Mine had a complete IRAN done on the cases 970 hours ago by PenYan including bearings, cam, lifters, pistons and rod bolts. As for the cylinders they were rebuilt 660 hours ago. I'd keep mine but I want to go turbo!

If you're referring to my 201, not yet.

Thanks Clarence Here's my listing in MS. Of course I think it's one of the best 201's for sale out there but it's always smart to check what's available and what you need. BTW, Clarence did the pre-buy when I bought this.

Do my gump checks 3 times then say: Please God, don't let me F___ up!

I've had work done by this engine builder and know of a couple of others owners too and for what it's worth would highly recommend him.

Holy mackerel Tom, Even more amazing,

Phillip you can buy a 240 to 120 volt adapter for $30- $100 or buy a 240-28 volt charger from Milwaukee directly. I've had my sidewinder for approximately 4 months and love it. It will pull my M20J out of my hangar (~20m) 6-8 times before a recharge. The battery will fully charge in approximately 30 minutes and I wouldn't advise on keeping the battery on the charger after the complete charge. Occasionally the battery will "burn" out after a time.

You never mentioned what your mission is. If a lot of your hours will be flying for breakfast or hamburger runs the J would probably be the best If you have to get somewhere for a meeting or back home were weather or terrain is a factor and there's only a few hamburger runs the M might work. The other consideration would be cargo area and useful load. On my J I can put in two full sized suitcases and a golf bag but it's packed. I haven't any experience with the Bravo but they have more room and a little more useful load.

Do you still have the micro generators on? How much does that hurt your speed? Is it rigged properly?

Thanks guys. Those were the answers I was looking for unfortunately

Did you notice any noise reduction with the 1/4" over the original glass?

Bet they still have smiles on their faces too.

Ken, how is the noise level in the P337 compared to a J or K?

Hey Tom, Great meeting you last week and love your plane. If anyone has a chance to see Tom's plane in person, it's a great example of craftsmanship and clever adaption of "things"

Thanks Nate for publishing this book. I bought it online and read it within a week. Hopefully I'll never have to use the information and techniques you give. Steve

I put mine on after 4 years without it and I maybe lost 1/2 knot. I really like having the step back now. Just makes it easy to get in and out.

I believe Brant Aero installed one in a Mooney a year or two ago. You could give them a call to see who's aircraft it went into and find out if there were any problems. Talk to Dan or Pat Field. BTW the Canadian dollar is at a great exchange rate for US customers if you needed an installation. (519) 753-7022

Great write up jlunseth. Thanks for the information
