  1. I use the sensorcon. It wasn't a huge amount more CO or even enough to trigger the alarm. But it wasn't enough to make me look around. I don't recall exact numbers.
  2. I see different numbers in climb vs cruise vs descent. If the cowl flap is fully open on landing the alarm will sound. Generally I see 20 in climb and 0 to 5 in cruse. This is over two mooneys. I did have elevated numbers for a bit and found a missing camlock on the front of the belly pan that was causing it.
  3. Seems like we are all happy with our choice and we are all having a good result.
  4. There was one single follow up visit after surgery and no discussion about locking anything in.
  5. I have the Vivity Toric multi-focal in both eyes. First eye done a year ago and second one done just this September. As a pilot and engineer with high expectations, I couldn't be happier with the choice. I only use reading glasses for extended reading. I do not need reading glasses for incidental use of my phone or activity such as reading a restaurant menu. I have no halo effect at night. I see better now than ever before.
  6. I got mine done yesterday. I decided to go late in the day and avoid the expected morning rush. That worked well, I walked right up to the desk and was out in 5 minutes. And the STC refund was promptly applied. It will be very nice to be able to buy fuel at my home airport again. Lack of fuel was a real pain. Finally something good happening at RHV. Larry
  7. I'm not in the business of making aircraft parts, but I'll share the files. See the dropbox link below. There are two versions of the arms, one with a power box and one without. The power box is designed to hold switching voltage converters to power the iPad and the fans. If you want the power box version then you can print the lids as well. The power box is designed for 4-40 brass inserts for the lid screws. Fans are 40mm standard muffin fans. Using this design will require some electronics expertise to wire up the fans/power and make it look pretty. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/v5htpg56mo4smumeulxxf/ABkeXx0_cIr6Co371xzlSHg?rlkey=7rvebe53si4h88tquenz13h7a&dl=0
  8. Yes, it uses fans. It has ridges and vents designed to direct the airflow over the entire back of the iPad. The yoke mount has an upper and lower half with integrated screw holes and captured hex nut so it screws together tightly around the yoke. Once the upper and lower yoke half's are attached the iPad mount itself is screwed to the yoke mounts. There are 3 separate printed pieces in the design.
  9. 3D printed mount with active cooling. I had overheating once in a while before I built this. Not one overheat since.
  10. If you are just a little bit technically inclined it's easy to check with these automated testers. Lots cheaper than having a shop do it. And less down-time as well.

  11. While I don't know the innards of the KC192, replacing a capacitor on a board is not difficult for a skilled electronics technician. The particular capacitor is not generally critical. Just match the capacitance rating. Voltage rating can be >= the old part. Pretty much any replacement capacitor that is able to physically fit should work. www.mouser.com has thousands of different capacitors in stock. I would try to find a technician willing to do it before buying a whole replacement unit.
  12. What’s wrong with 180 knots?
  13. For me the source of that problem was the pillow bearing for the trim tube in the rear avionics compartment. Just needed a shot of tri flow.
  14. The panels and pumps are different as already mentioned. When I was shopping for my own TKS Mooney I wanted FIKI only. I figured if I was paying to own and maintain it, it may as well be full FIKI. I rejected a couple candidates that were not FIKI.
