    Funny I still know and talk to all these people.

    Realized how lucky I am not to have a bird problem being outside a decade at my airport. That's about the only good thing I can say about my airport. This was particularly highlighted to me when after only a few days outside in the middle of a wide concrete ramp in Florida, my vertical stabilizer was painted in colors of crap. Little undigested seeds and all. However, being indoors isn't always the catch all. Occasionally I've been in communal hangars where the plane got crapped on more than outside!

    Well that takes the cake, when they're shitting on your plane, in your plane, and making more little butts to do shit on your plane some more.

    I came to a realization that some airports are much shittier than others. In terms of birds crapping on your plane. How would you rate the amount of bird shit you get on your plane (or on the covers) from none to

    You've done a lot of J/C time. How does the short rudder feel by comparison? How much less authority do you actually get?

    And YOU need to keep your assumptions in your own ass. I learned in a conventional gear trainer before I’ve ever flown tricycle gear. The ground clearance in a low wing Mooney is nothing like in those high wing conventional gear trainers! Sorry I don’t have the obvious markings of a taildragger pilot by going around telling everyone they need to fly tailwheel or they’re not worth a dime.

    Depends on runway width. You don't want to mess with too strong a crosswind on a narrow runway. Once it pops off the ground, it will drift significantly sideways until you become aware of the intensity and turn into a crab. You don't want to dip a wing into the runway, so you're limited how quickly you can bank into that crab while sliding across the runway in the air.

    Cross control in and of itself isn't a problem at all. It aggravates a stall and likely turns it into a spin. But if you maintain sufficient angle of attack, it won't stall. And when you begin flaring cross controlled in a strong crosswind, you're right over the ground so a stall is usually called a landing at that point. Just be careful about wind gusts because those kinds of winds are often gusty. That can get you unexpectedly. Carry extra speed to combat wind gusts.

    No you can’t. 6-24 months.

    Keep in mind that it’s not just the cost but also the time the plane will have to be down for overhaul. Could take half a year. This can happen with any airplane, but in this case something you should be expecting.

    Surprised the best flying shoes haven’t been mentioned Cmon guys it’s a Mooney. You hardly ever need to use those pedal things anyway.

    If that piece of junk is still for sale, you should put one of these in it to help it sell.

    The best Mooney upgrade you can get is on sale today from Aircraft Spruce for the same price certified as experimental. Go look it up, you can't beat this new mod.

    I doubt you’re gonna want to go through that again, and especially every 6 months! What are you going to do next time?

    Prop Pastie. It’s right on point but the guy stopped making them because he’s paranoid the government is spying on him and that someone is going to sue him.

    Told ya! This may be a Mooneyspace record

    Tip of the day: @carusoam says set your propeller vertical when you’re done using it. Makes it look bigger.

    I let @carusoam take me to lunch just so I could get a lot of likes here on Mooneyspace. Ladies and gentlemen, the ambassador of Mooneyspace Mr Anthony Caruso: He’s ignoring me cause he’s probably busy checking Mooneyspace! PS, I heard Anthony managed to get re-current in his airplane for the first time in years!

    I’ve been parked outside over 12 years now. I’d argue the cabin cover is your most helpful cover. Who cares about the paint? It protects much more than that. It keeps water from leaking in the door seal, keeps wind and sun off the interior and avionics. Keeps airport debris from flying into windows. Keeps out peering eyes. And as for paint, I can tell you that despite frequent waxing, the only paint that wasn’t faded after a decade outside was the parts normally under the cover. So it does more to protect than to harm paint.

    Sold on a Mooneyspace poll!

    Besides hanging out the window upside down holding a cup? Flip the Gatz Jar tip from the plastic to the metal stick side facing up. Press it up into the gascalator from outside and take a sample. If you really care about sampling the other fuel line too, go inside and flip the fuel selector and repeat.
