  1. I'm also looking to have the same thing done to my Mooney. Remove KT76a and KLN 89B and install Garmin GNX375. Not sure where to have that done. Looking in southwest within 400 miles of Las Vegas.
  2. Got my registration yesterday.
  3. Bought my 231 on 10/24/2018. Sent my registration in on 10/24/2018. Got a 120 day extension on 01/09/2019. Still haven't received my registration card.
  4. I'm still going. Weather is good at Havasu. Wind from 140 at 6 kt, 10 miles, clear at or below 12,000.
  5. I'm planning on going.
  6. I flew down to Havasu today. Practiced the VOR/DME-A. I'm ready for Sunday. Forecast to be windy. Had lunch at Hangar 24.
  7. Lets hope the weather holds.
  8. How many people are going? I would like to go if the weather is not bad.
  9. I was wondering if you couldn't put the lycoming 350 horsepower TIO 540 out of a piper Navajo in the Bravo.
  10. Engine overhaul was done in 2003 with new crank and new Millenium cylinders. New 3 blade prop (no more prop AD). Tanks were resealed in 2011. Landing gear pucks are in good shape. Everything is up to date, all ADs, annual good till Nov 30th. The oil and filter gets changed every 25 hours. Airplane is hangered and flown regularly. I have all logbooks sense new. For more pictures or information you can send me a message with your email or phone. The aircraft can be shown in Apple Valley (KAPV) or in the Las Vegas area.
  11. My M20B is for sale. I would be happy to give you a ride. It's based in KAPV right now.

  14. I'm selling my Mooney M20B. Asking $36,000.00. 3800 hrs total time. 600 smoh.

  15. If I had a 430 I would go with the IFD440. From scratch the GTN650 would be my choice. I have the 650 now and it has a slightly larger screen than the 440.
  16. I switched to the BY plugs and haven't had a fouled plus since. The same price as the standard plugs. Much better choice than the expensive fine wire plugs if you have a cylinder that's using a lot of oil.
  17. I'm in the High Desert. I could give you a ride. Maybe meet in French Valley F70.
  18. I go into Big Bear (L35) all the time. I have taken off at gross wt. with DA above 10,000 in the summer. Taking off to the east over the trees you turn left about 15 degrees and fly over Baldwin lake. West bound you can circle over the lake to gain altitude if you need to. If you lean for take off and don't expect climb rates above 300 feet per min close to gross wt you won't have any problems getting into or out of Big Bear. Engine out on take off is the same as any other airport. Heading into the trees you just fly the airplane between the trees. Sure, the wings will get sheared off be will be survivable. Over the lake you ditch close to shore. Both conditions are not great but survivable. Better than a lot of airports in the Los Angeles area where you have houses, buildings, streets with lot's of power lines to try to land around or on.
  19. I'm in for Vegas in Dec.
  20. The air blows the oil through the filter medium. All filters have a anti drain back feature so none of the contaminants go back through the engine.
  21. I just remove the oil in the filter before taking it off. Makes changing the oil a lot easier. I have posted how I do this a number of times.
  22. I had Corona hone and re ring cylinders for me. They do good work and their prices are reasonable.
  23. I just bought the 660. Does everything the larger 796 does. Perfect size for the Mooney mounted on the yoke. Like the screen size and brightness.
