That’s pretty slick, and a whole lot better than bringing hoses, gauges, and raw fuel into the cockpit. -dan

Perhaps the Apaches were triggered by the overflight?

100% satisfied customer of 2 years. Once the lens got dirty and it went intermittent, but a quick cleaning got it back to normal. Would buy again. -dan

Sadly, it only takes one…. https://youtu.be/5ldTsqbwZm0 a lot of the free-fall danger relates to bullet size and shape. Falling birdshot is harmless. Evidently a 60+ grain bullet falling at terminal velocity isn’t. -dan

Maybe have a look at a gallery of finished Mooneys. For example, https://tejasaero.com/gallery/ or https://hawkaircraft.com/#gallery (which isn't working for me right now) Or Scheme Designers: https://schemedesigners.com/project-category/retract-singles-mooney/ You should find something that grabs you and your SO. -dan

An engine monitor and fuel flow gauge is all it takes to set power :-) -dan

At our base in FL, they are actively working to evict non-aviation hangar tenants, too. It is win/win for aircraft owners and airport businesses to police the hangar use. -dan
