That beats double the price from Mooney - good info. http://www.peerlesselectronics.com/store/products/26.57.01.html

Make sure if you go with Whelen that you get the Parmetheus PLUS (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/el/landinglights_whelen/whelenplus461l.php), not just just Parmetheus. The Plus is 40% brighter and well worth the difference.

24,000 & 25000 many times in a 231 and a TLS Bravo with on Board Oxygen, back up oxygen and a pulse oximeter. Climb rates were still 400-500 fpm.

Wow that looks great!

Or you can order it yourself and install it. 6/10/2017 EDIT: These cords aren't available anymore.

Not sure if it's approved to replace a turn coordinator, but the Sandia Quattro fits in a standard instrument hole and has a battery backup for $2995. It backs up your attitude, altimeter, airspeed and VSI. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/sai340-11-12817.php?clickkey=1466805

Only three advantages I see is that (1) the Aspen would be flush mounted, which would look great and (2) a lighter colored panel which would make it look more modern, in line with the rest of the upgrades being done and (3) for one time you could put everything exactly where you want it (maybe replace the ship's instruments and the JPI with an EDM930 or an MVP50). It's fun to spend other people's money.

Wow gift wrapping is available

I've never used this shop but heard good things about them. http://www.jbaircraftengines.com/

It works on Chrome, Firefox and Safari - maybe try a different internet browser. Make sure you click on the "+" next to the model.

Go down further on the Support page and select your model and download it.

Because you plastered it all over Mooneyspace . . lol : )

Keeping the value up on Mooneys is a good thing. It makes the new ones seem not as expensive. There's no single thing they could do that would add more to the value of recent Mooneys than to get the WAAS thing figured out for early G1000 Mooneys (2005-2007).

Has anyone tried these? http://www.rayallencompany.com/products/indsens.html

I was planning on seeing if I could free up some panel space and fit in a 2nd IFD540 instead of the IFD440. Turns out it would have been a major surgery on the panel so I went ahead and kept the IFD440 and replaced my GNS430W with it. (The GNS430W is sold.) By the way I could have re-sold that IFD440 at least 10 times with all of the PM's here and on Beechtalk. It makes sense there are a ton of Garmin 430's out there.

I think you got lucky, I signed up for a year on the 9.99 plan but Nexrad absolutely doesn't show up on my 796, even though there's a Nexrad page - it continuously says "Loading", but never loads. Metars and wind direction show up though.

I replaced a 530W with an IFD540 and then just recently a 430W with an IFD440. The resolution is great, You'll like the pinch and zoom. The Avidyne units are much more intuitive that the 530/430. If you have the space I would try to go for a 540 - the extra screen size makes a big difference, for not a lot more money. At some point everything fails. There's an advantage of a new box with new warranty as opposed to putting in a 15 year old box.

Here's something in Flying (click on this and move to page 8): https://books.google.com/books?id=qZJRCyJPbvQC&pg=PA52&lpg=PA52&dq=charlie+woollacott+mooney+bravo&source=bl&ots=eDqRghu2vO&sig=sbTF3BtO30Z-UYJR-ivSPAyJV3k&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CB8Q6AEwAGoVChMIweTw39HbyAIVRukmCh0c4Qcl#v=onepage&q=charlie woolacott mooney bravo&f=false

https://flightaware.com/resources/registration/N243CW If it was N243CW that was one of the first Bravos and was bought new by Charlie Woolacott . He was from Canada originally and would fly back and forth to Texas - I think he may have lived around Horseshoe Bay. He had a 231 before with "CW" (N231CW )as the tail number. He may have also been the first one to add FIKI TKS to a Bravo if I remember correctly. He used to come ever year to the MAPA homecoming and was interesting to listen to in the M20M workshops that they had. He had a great knowledge of Mooneys. I think he may have sold the Bravo and bought a Mirage or Meridian around 2000 or so.

No, I believe the STC that STEC has on the 55 in the Mooney installation doesn't allow vertical guidance on a GPS approach.

I think the transponder in the G1000 is a GTX33 if you're getting Mode S traffic. If there is something wrong with it and it has to go back to Garmin, it might be a good time to upgrade to a GTX33ES (Extended Squitter).
