    I pulled it on when I was coming in with a vac failure but I managed to stay VFR the entire time so it was just in case cause it was murky. It’s not for cruise flight. Obviously at 8000ft, you can’t get the throttle back enough to maintain altitude and run the standby vac. You fly partial panel down to about 4000ft, but at that point you should be able to power back enough in the descent to get it going. You only need it for the approach. You’re easily throttled back 6”MP for the last 2000ft of descent to be able to use it to get on the ground.

    Cause most of them have a precise flight standby vac fed off the intake manifold that is lightweight and doesn’t have to stick out. The Venturi sticking out of Jose’s Mooney drives the vac for the piss hose!

    Why look that far? Whoever gets Monroy’s Mooney is going to have his used piss tube included no charge!

    According to the article, it’s actually “A Cessna plane crashed in the desert just northwest of Buckeye Municipal Airport near Interstate 10 and Palo Verde Road just before 7 a.m. on June 18.”

    But then he can camp with the RVs

    No. Taking a pass this year. Planning on doing the Summit. You go to every Mooney event of the year, don't you?

    Not gonna rough it camping under the wing?

    In a Mooney, pretty just much like that. Piss bag or Jose’s fancy vacuum piss hose.

    Sounds like they landed in a field ok. The FAA will be investigating whether or not a flight plan had been filed.

    On a scale of 1-10, how good of a pilot do you consider yourself compared to other GA pilots? On a scale of 1-10, how good of a pilot do you consider yourself compared to the pilot you'd want to be? What are your flaws that could use improvement? What are your strengths?

    Cool. Sounds like a much more enticing reason to donate. I’m sold. I bet @carusoam will be so excited he’ll donate a second time over, forgetting that he just donated a couple days ago.

    I thought the swelling on long flights is due to lower air pressure keeping your meat pressed in? Less pressure, more bulge.

    It used to be a slow one. 140-148 cruise on 8-8.5gph. Now 150-160 cruise on same fuel. A lot of small mods over the years that didn’t seem to add up to anything but then when I got it repainted, jumped about 8 knots. But it wasn’t just paint. New windshield, windshield cap, body work, etc. It all came together since.

    This whole DVT thing…. Is this from not moving your legs for a while? Is it just as dangerous to sleep at night then? Or is it the low pressure at altitude? Or the posture of the legs with the knee bent sitting in an airline seat?

    Don’t be coming anywhere near my birds at Oshkosh with that thing!!! Thanks for taking the time to write up and share the details. Do you have any guess as to what altitude it could have occurred at?

    This should help keep you guys from hijacking my flying threads. And we'll get to find out if this is the latest Mooney flyers fashion.

    Is this you flying a Mooney?

    Philly couldn't send me to Modena yesterday for the first time ever. But they still managed to find some waypoints like SKITL and FROSE to get me as close to Modena as possible for the big loop around Philly instead of direct Linden. They kept me as close to the inner ring of the TFR as possible without being inside it.

    And Chris’s socks?

    Working around thunderstorms to Florida and back both times. At least a tailwind for the return. Instrument approaches at both ends. About 12 hours flying this weekend. 18 last weekend. Gonna need an oil change.

    Having proven that my Mooney is faster than @jetdriven I guess I may as well head back. Part 4 https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N4361H
  23. 201er
    Part 3. Racing @jetdriven to Florida? https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N4361H
  24. 201er
    There’s only one way to find out… race you to Florida today!?
