She sent me this message this morning: Is he able to ship me the original so I can make drawing? I can send the original back with the new lens.CNDPO BOX 70842 fort lauderdale fl 33307

That will be impressive if they get it done in three weeks.

Click on this link - hit the contact button. If you measure exactly the size you need she can make you the lens. (put the unit, take the front bezel off and measure the inside dimensions of the lens). Or after you pull the front off, pop out the lens, mail it to her and she will duplicate it. http://www.ebay.com/usr/pinkheart09?ul_noapp=true

Are you talking about the lens or the electronic display?

"then you flew your Mooney up to Nova Scotia to see to total eclipse of the sun . . ."

I like long sleeve t-shirts

He's still planning on inspecting the airplane . . give him some space to do that before you try to swoop in and snatch it . . lol

The show panel has a Bendix King KT74 transponder (made by Trig). They did show a picture in the video (at about 01:47) of a panel that had a King KFC150 autopilot with a Garmin GTX330 transponder above it which I thought was interesting.

Yes

You probably recognize all of the avionics, but just in case . . .

Wow KI-300 shipping in September 2017, that would be great.

The purchase price and the price of ownership are two completely different things. No matter what you pay for it, even if someone gives it to you, keep in mind you are still maintaining a $700,000+ airplane - since that's would it would sell for new today. The parts and labor prices reflect what a new airplane costs not what you paid for a 20 year old airplane. And of course since all of those systems on the airplane are 20+ years old, in some cases close to 30 years old, they will need some work in the first few years of ownership. What is for sale on the M20M market are a lot of airplanes with nearly TBO engines so buyers are hesitant about buying at say $150,000 - $200,000 and then thinking about $50,000 - $75,000 in an overhaul, rebuilt or reman. The M20M costs at least twice as much as the M20J when it comes to engine overhaul and fuel per mile will be 40-50% more (the J doesn't go nearly as fast so don't just compare fuel flow). You have two more cylinders so when it comes time to do a top end overhaul, usually half way through the engine life it will be 50% more. Some people don't have to do a top on on the J, but most do on the M, since turbo charged airplanes run hotter and are operated in more harsh environments. The exhaust will be more expensive to keep up on the M20M - and make sure you do. Other than the turbo charger, which in the total cost really doesn't mean that much, the rest of the systems are all about the same on the two airplanes. (Since the M is faster, one hour in the M and you are covering say 190 nm, one hour in the J and you are covering 150 nm. So even though the M engine costs a lot more, over 2000 hours it's covering 380,000 miles, while the J is covering 300,000 miles). Also if your time is worth something to you, there's a benefit in getting there faster that only you can quantify.

Autopilots Central is in Tulsa Oklahoma, which Texans call North Texas. Central Texas Avionics is Georgetown TX is also really good with King Autopilots.

Climbing in the heat of South Texas will be easier in a Turbo, especially if you're gong into Northern Mexico where you'll have some higher elevations.

He's almost to Howland Island, then to Lihue Hawaii Update: He made it past Howland Island and turned toward Hawaii. ( 9hours and 8 minutes to go)

Looks like a completely different product than it was 2 years ago Two years ago (this one looks a lot like the 2600 model from RC Allen): Today here's what's on their website. I am thinking it was developed by a third party (see Sandia Quattro picture below). It looks nice though. ch Price back then was $5289 with Roll/Pitch and A/P interface. I wonder what the price is now? It looks a lot like the Sandia Quattro 340.

If he crossed it enough times could he make it back for Oshkosh .. lol?

Wouldn't that be 8:45 pm Sunday local time instead of last night (Saturday) since he hasn't crossed the international date line yet?

You learned your buying valuation from Alan Fox, the minister of lowball offers. . Lol

PM me your e-mail address

You still need to keep the weakest link tho - the KI256. Hopefully at some point down the road another G5 with a converter box will be able to provide attitude. But then you are getting close to the same price as an Aspen VFR.

http://georgetowninstruments.com About $500 if I remember correctly about 6 months ago.

Looks great!
