M20F

Hi Skybrd, I posted a similar issue with my EI MVP-50P. Sometimes it seems to find the peak right away but more often then not it just hovers around and never sets to the first or last to peak. While I know the fuel flow based upon when it has ticked over to peaks to approximately set either ROP or LOP for a given power setting would be nice to know it for certain especially when I use an unusual power setting. Hopefully somebody who has one of these EI units can chime in with the magic advice.

There were only ever 2 reasons where precision versus non-precision mattered. The first was the instrument PTS which has since been amended to allow LPV to be used as a precision approach for the practical. The second is for alternate purposes (600-2 versus 800-2) and for that purpose only ILS/PAR are considered precision. So in effect other then requirements for alternate there is no difference betweeen precision/non-precision. Keep in mind that an ILS has very specific requirements (lights, runway markings, etc.) that do not have to exist for an LPV. In order for a LPV to get to 200-1 it needs to have those things but 300-2 LPV approach for example might have no markings or poor lighting. Ensure you review each specific LPV to know exactly what your getting because it isn't uniform like an ILS is.

I recommend Second this. In regard to oil burn put in six quarts next change and then report back results, not enough information to advise otherwise.

Hi Gary, We hunt on a ranch just outside of Lost Springs (near Lusk).

Some details on slipping M20K/Long body http://www.mooneyevents.com/flying2.html

The one's in the gallery blow up a bit better. Was getting160-165knots TAS with 75% power (about 11gph) at FL210, density altitude was something like 23000. http://mooneyspace.com/gallery/album/13665-ktor-kbuu-08oct12/

Yes

After 6hrs of flying out fighting the winds to spend one day hunting antelopes it was nice to come home today with the wind at 200kts in 3.4hrs. http://flightaware.c...1705Z/KTOR/KBUU

Cheapest I have found thus far for those who are interested. http://oilstore.stores.yahoo.net/aerpisenoil.html

My local distributor has stopped carrying Aeroshell 15W-50 any recommendations for online purchasing?

Mine included all the probes, senders, etc. and replaces all engine instruments, vacuum gauge, OAT, Clock, etc. Also has weight and balance screen plus a bunch of other useful things. It was around $9-10K installed but that included cutting a new left side panel, moving some radios, and some other stuff to make it work.

In your last picture it appears the heater box is disconnected?

Don Maxwell said it was like a JPI but did an expletive so much more. I have yet to explore the more exotic features but thus far have been pleased with it. The only thing I really can't figure out are the LOP/ROP screens which sometimes pop right away, other times pop 30 mins in flight, other times never pop. It really cleans the panel up and puts things all in one place and having a TIT is nice for leaning up high (I have a RayJay in my M20F). Can't though give you a comparison to a JPI as I have not flown with one. The only annoyance is that the idiot lights which are not intelligent and can be distracting. I can't run my prop between X and Y over 24" but if I am under 24" it is ok, the idiot lights don't know that and so they flash yellow all the time (you can clear it which holds for 10 minutes for a yellow warning) that over the course of a 4hr flight makes me nuts. On take off my prop over speeds 2700 RPM a bit which leads to a red light. One day my fear is I am going to miss the oil line breaking and pressure going to zero because I am so conditioned by the red blip. The CO2 monitor addition I got with it works great, open the door while taxing it registers. Next year is long range tanks + speed brakes and I am done :-)

Had one of these installed at annual and it works great except I really can't figure out how to get the LOP or ROP screens to work right. I pull back on mixture quite a bit, stop, and sometimes I wait 30 minutes or even longer for it to come up with the Peak ranges. Clearly doing something wrong. Appreciate any guidance by somebody who has one.

I will try to post some pics of mine, they left the clock in (I love that clock) but also did a great job of fixing/wrapping all my PTT and Autopilot buttons. Well worth the money and they do really good work, very happy with the results.

I have screens on mine but guessing by the other posts somebody put them on after the fact. Not exactly difficult to do if you so desire it.

The did my yokes and very pleased with the work and the attention to small details.

Quote: aerobat95 I am getting stuff for my panel upgrade and was wondering which I should get?

How many hours were quoted for installation, the price seems high.

2 NAV/COM with G/S inclusive of a WAAS GPS is what I would look for. It is hard to beat a dual G430 with one or both with WAAS.
