  1. Yes it is.
  2. I always love these threads. My F will do on a perfect day 175kts at 11.3GPH.
  3. There is no requirement to take any insurance aside from loan requirements or an airport looking for named insured. Think we can both agree that there is a lot of folks with no insurance, annual, biannual, or even a certificate flying around the skies. When I was flying a lot in OK it was anyone with a CB was suspect, most folks had CB’s.
  4. We will agree to disagree on what belt keeps our head from going through the windshield versus the ceiling. I give you respect though for flying through weather so strong in a GA airplane that you need at minimum a 3 point harness to survive.
  5. @pwnel I am on a bit of a holiday and thinking of going to Adak via AS. What is it like?
  6. KBWP is my go to place in ND. Nice airport, nice gas, and nice place.
  7. Perhaps we are having an English issue (I mean this respectfully). A lap belt which I wear all the time keeps my head from bouncing off the ceiling. A shoulder belt which I wear on take off and landing keeps my head from impacting the dash.
  8. File’s uploaded to Mooneyspace for posterity. sbm20-93.pdf sbm20-99.pdf
  9. Your engine is generally in a C172-RG not in a Mooney. This would be why you don’t see documentation. Can you share more details of your situation.
  10. Except the links are broken, anyone have the SB’s?
  11. What is a shoulder belt going to do in turbulence?
  12. I would try to see if it replicates your next flight. When takes get low, bounce around, etc. the fuel gauges can get a little wonky.
  13. @kinser this is one of those projects where a hanger fairy could achieve it, believe me you want to pay somebody.
  14. Four great posts if my math is right asking mission details. Without mission details @Jeffro pretty hard to advise.
  15. This is the gas can to have 4 fit easily in the baggage compartment of a Mooney for tankering cheap gas, not that I would know.
  16. My lap belt stays on the shoulder comes off.
  17. My left shoulder belt is click and forget and it disconnects from the lap belt. Not trying to be obtuse maybe I am missing something I just don’t get the inertial wheel belt (unless multiple folks are sitting left seat).
  18. For my own curiosity why an inertial wheel for the left seat? Mine is fixed and adjusted for me and it comes off when cruise checklist is complete (about 26’ AGL which is 25’ after gear retraction). Would seem right seat with varying passengers would benefit more. I love nothing more than sitting in a 150F plane helping my “co-pilot” navigate adjusting the should strap.
  19. I have to say as additional to anyone. Starlink is the like the coolest thing ever. I literally flush $120 a month down the toilet so I can update my databases at my hanger. I love flipping to roam and going crazy places and firing it up. I was in middle of ND a couple of weeks ago and was downloading giant files in the middle of a pasture for no reason other than I could. This body maybe turning into old man material but my heart beats as a 12yr old. Frogs and Starlinks beware. I highly recommend it for anyone and as noted you can buy the hardware, deactivate, and in an emergency fire it up (just update firmware every so often which is free).
  20. Maxwell did mine in June of 23, pretty sure they were done last with the SWTA cowling. Looks very nice now. Makes zero difference in any sort of cooling. This is one of those things I am not certain the squeeze is worth the juice. PS I have a set of @Gee Bee Aeroproducts baffling that I intended to put on myself but just let Paul and folks do it. I would echo it’s a quality product.
  21. Got to get out and touch the skyline! This is believe it or not is on a IFR clearance into 06C (East to West over top of ORD) when I was commuting between 47N and Chi town. At 0230 they let you do anything.
  22. I get 55-67 watts off the panel (Jackery SolarSaga 80). The Starlink draws 50-60. I have Gen-2 and went from residential to roam back to residential for the trip.
