  1. I am travelling as soon as I am back I will
  2. I did install one in my M20c. Not difficult at all. oscar
  3. I have the same issue in my M20C. I was told it is a design problem
  4. I installed Bob’s door seal. Call him. He may even give you a discount if the original seal (most likely) was his. It is easy to install. I did it myself under the supervision of an AP.
  5. I am in the process of upgrading my M20C to a M20E. I was able to get the engine, the fuel pump, the STC and the rest of parts. What I need now are the throttle, mixture, prop and ram door cables. My M20C has a power quadrant so I will need the cables for a M20 E with a power quadrant. To get the cables from MacFarlane i need the serial numbers of the M20E with a power quadrant. Any ideas? Oscar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  6. I have been talking to them. It was quite an adventure. They had a flat tire in Canada, lost gps in Rusia and had avoid Moscow’s high rise at 1,000 feet. really fascinating experience. it seems that the Rusia route is very attractive as it avoids long over water legs. oscar
  7. Yesterday during my run up on my JPI 900 oil pressure went dead... A big red cross across oil pressure. Obvioulsy no flying. But any idea what may have happened? The sensor went dead? connection? or de unit? Any advice more than welcome.
  8. Good point once I get all the hardware I will send in my JPI 900 to have it reprogramed Oscar
  9. I am in the process of doing the upgrade based on the LASAR STC. I got a 0 time IO 360 for a very good price. So I decided to go for it... You need: new cowling upper and lower (E model), new engine mount, new electric fuel pump, prop, mix and Throttle cables and I am not sure about the air intake. Once I get all the parts I will proceed with the upgrade and report back... Oscar
  10. I was told that the E mount is stronger than the C mount due to the IO 360 engine. I am in the process of upgrading my M20C to an E and I need to get a new mount.
  11. On my M20C I get around 9ppm on the ground, 4 on climb and 0 in flight. Oscar
  12. Sometimes this happens when I have no GPS fix. Once I get the fix the message goes disappears.
  13. I get around 158 mph TAS, which translates into 137 kts at 7,000 to 8,000 feet. My fuel consumption is at that speed (about 73% power) 8.7 gph. If I go higher I can get the speet up a bit or less fuel. My main limitation are my CHTs. Oscar
  14. Thank you for the feedback! I have become a bit lazy lately, but work and family life have been overwhelming. But I promise I will get back to producing some more videoa oscar
  15. Nice video and nice home !! congratulations...
  16. From what I understand flirestream 510 creates a wifi network but does not connect to internet, so you need to use XM or whatever other source you use for weather. the problem you may have may be solved if you go to your map set up page and look at the overlays. There you can opt to use Internet, or XM as a source. May be that helps. oscar
  17. I do have an aspen evolution 2000 installed. It works really well and integrates nicely with my garmin suite (750 and 650). oscar
  18. Nico I had a similar problem with my Stec55x. Navmode worked great but hdg… not. I solved it by reworking all the harnesses. It seems it was a bad connection. btw on the ground it worked well let me know how it goes oscar
  19. The other day I had landed and Tower told me: you are transmitting on 118.30 (tower) but also on 121.90 (ground). 118.30 was dialed into COM1 (GTN 750) and 121.90 into COM 2 (GTN 650). On COM 1 the "tx" sign came up when I was transmiting, while on COM2 the "Rx" sign appeared at the same time... I reversed both COMs (COM1: 121.90 and COM2:118.30) and transmitted on COM 2, same problem. And then I transmitted on COM 2 on 121.90 and COM 1: 118.30 received the transmission... I changed frequencies and the same thing happened. Any idea what may be going on? Oscar
  20. Yes, I am trying to understand what are the benefits of replacing the second mag. Better performance? getting rid of the 500 hr ovehaul? Anybody has a response?
  21. I was always looking forward to the new editions of Flying and Plane and Pilot. When I started to learn to fly I got introduced to IFR, IRF refreshe, Aviation Consumer etc. I subcribed to all of them and loved them. Overtime they became more and more repetitive. I still read them... but the only one I really look forward to receiving is Aviation Consumer... the rest, well most of their content is out of my league... oscar
  22. It added some drag and some nervousness factor. oscar
