I ran down the battery trying to get her started in the cold (40*) weather -
I bought Donald Kaye's video about landings and it helped tremendously. I have also found that the best range is 70-75 mph over the numbers and it'll settle in nicely.

Passenger on Rudder Pedal . . . during landing
Wildhorsesracing replied to Seth's topic in General Mooney Talk
We were giving free rides to children at an airport function. An 8yr old child during the flight grabbed the yoke pulling and pushing all the while squeezing the PTT and yelling "I wanna fly it! I wanna fly it!" - when on the ground his mother apologized that he didn't take his "meds" because she was worried he would get sick. The other pilots had a good laugh afterwards as they all heard the screaming on the radio! -
I am based at Stanly County, (KVUJ) Albemarle, NC - just east of Charlotte, NC. There are a few Mooneys there - I have met some of the owners. We should plan a "Mooneyiacs" meeting somewhere at the Carolina beaches every few months for lunch. I fly down to Southport NC, Ocean Isle NC and Grand Strand, SC regularly for the fun of it.

Sheet metal screw back-up clips
Wildhorsesracing replied to dcrogers11's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
I agree, the screws are always getting jammed or stripped from being taken out and put back in. Since they are so cheap there is no excuse for trying to reuse marginal screws. -

Taking off from KVUJ you get this gorgeous view of Lake Tillery -
Check the Magneto timing as well - if it is off it might not show up until higher RPMs.

Phew! I thought I was doing good when I hit 200 mph the other day!
