Hey! When I did my panel upgrade a few years ago, I had EI CGR's that proved to be extremely unreliable even though they were pulled and shipped to EI to get them upgraded to the latest and greatest firmware (what a complete waste of time and money but that's a whole other story). Because of this I was on a mission to get rid of the CGRs and frankly anything in my plane that was EI including probes which were EI. I went with Garmin EIS and could not be happier. We did have to put a "snubber" on it for manifold pressure...that was it-perfect all the way around for almost 4 years. Now if I had a well-functioning JPI (or EI), I think I would have stayed with that if I could design it into the new panel. Having another screen with more real estate is always a good thing. -K

very nice upgrade!

welcome and look forward to hearing more of your story. Where are you based?

If I can find my green lens I'm happy to mail it to you as well.

I think #1 is simple and elegant. I'd probably "simplify" the tail design just a bit. I'm a fan of the checkered tails as well...not saying it would flow with this design. I'm adding this one to my gallery so one day when I do paint I'll use it for ideas.

definitely a problem for us as well. Not sure I could get my wife to ride a bike on most roads. I think this would scare her beyond being willing to try unfortunately. Maybe she could ride the bike and I could do this

wow that's amazing. 15 years here and felt good about that. Hope I get another 25

I did my IFR training in my Mooney and 15 years later I'm so happy I didn't do my IFR in a skyhawk or any other "trainer". Just make sure you are fully transitioned into the Mooney from a VFR perspective and then go for it. It's a great IFR platform. Unfortunately, I think you'll have better luck finding a rental/share of a different model. I don't know many (any) in the southeast that fall into this category

I'm still rocking my Icom A16, but I'd probably go for the PJ2+ based on your 2 decades with the other sporty's radio. Plus I never have liked the UI of the A16.

Per this thread, they literally shared the "personally identifiable" information that you point out above with another person...so is the policy being misread or did they violate their own privacy policy...

"The User grants Savvy a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, and distribute such information. The license continues even if the User stops using Savvy's services." Looks like they whatever they want with your data. There you go. I suspected there would be an EULA with something like this called out. In today's world this needs to be shared very widely. -K

craigslist isn't exactly where I would list my plane to sell.

sidewinder here too for many years. No problem going up small inclines. Some hangars have a "lip" for the door and I have to help push there just a bit. Also struggles a bit if ramp is wet. Overall very happy with it.

Not an expert on 210s but iirc the 210a (and maybe the b) is more like a 182RG, so comparing to a Mooney is not quite as far off from a mission perspective as a later (4+2, or 6 place) 210. I certainly like the 210s and capabilities--the Mooney just matches me better for now. I've heard there are some critical landing gear parts that aren't (or weren't 5-6 years ago) available so in the case of mistaken or mechanical failure resulting in gear up, you have to go looking at salvage yards for them. Not trying to scare anyone from the 210s. A good friend of mine has a 210 and I really like them.

Congrats!
