Any side by side pics from outside? Curious how much taller it sits and how much longer?

Really Dumb Question - How Do I turn off the front knee vents?

How many PPM reading is: ”no big deal, they all leak some” ”let’s get a mechanic to look at this some time” “continue to destination but this needs to be fixed” ”declare an emergency and land”
-
Mine is random. Right wing does the normal single synchronized strobe and the left does triples. But it’s not out of a carefully considered choice relying on the most advanced artificial technology, it’s out of being cheap and replacing only the one that was broken!

Not if you pass out... When's the last time you've had your CO detector calibrated? I wouldn't get overly confident about the reading and chart to decide how much time I have. Get on the ground ASAP. But it's true, the airplane isn't on fire and the engine isn't quit so get down safely without wasting time.

You sure that wouldn’t act like a Venturi and suck more CO into the cabin? I’ve never opened in flight so I’m not sure if it blows in or out?
-
Any Mooney specific suggestions to share such as how to set the cowl flaps, power, etc in the event of a sudden high Carbon Monoxide reading?
-
Right way to handle Carbon Monoxide: Wrong way (no offense, Dan’s the man!) or Having good detection, keeping head straight, and landing ASAP. That’s the way to go. Glad Dan is ok and has convinced the majority of us to get detectors. For those who haven’t, see above and think about how you will handle it.

Temporary Insurance for Pre Buy

@Parker_Woodruff should be able to answer off the top of his head -
Would have been easier to speed mod it up to 202 and keep the name?

I bought a lycoming factory reman engine because I had a good experience with Mooney

I’m definitely in the best of both. I’m usually getting 150-155ktas on 8-8.5gph while LOP. This is above Carson’s Speed but it is still great bang for the buck because burning an additional 1-4gph only provides a tiny increase in speed at that point. Love going fast. But going slightly slower than fast also happens to be quite efficient. Rarely worth going any harder than that.
-
Is a Mooney about speed or efficiency to you? For example if you cruise 75% power at best power, that’s speed. 55% power at 7gph at or below peak, that’s efficiency. Or something in between for best of both? Or neither because you primarily use your Mooney to provide an aesthetic feel to your hangar space?

Danbury tower completely losing it on everyone in the pattern:

I’ve heard a fair amount of griping and chewing flying around NYC for many years, but this is on another level.
