    My start procedure is different: I leave the electrical pump on while pumping manually the throttle then turn it off then start. Yves

    The sponsor should provide enough for the food and drinks however we will still accept donations that will be split evenly (like we did last year) between MooneySpace and The Mooney Caravan safety foundation. If we run short we will use some of that money but I would be surprised if we do. Yves

    Those "ad hoc" practices are always fun. We did a Canadian one over the Gatineau hills a few days ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buZeivkwumM Looking forward to fly with you! Yves

    Sorry folks I was busy taking care of my IFR renewal... this is done now. I will publish later today an updated list of MS folks planning to show up. In order to ensure I can produce the name tags, I have to set a deadline for this to be Monday July 17th. People can still ask after but will only get a hand written name tag. And keep in mind that they are cheap (throw away) ones! Yves

    I went to plane plastics web site and looked at the carpet options. Anyone knows why they only offer up to 1964? Yves

    It is with great pleasure that I have to announce that Van Allen Airmotive (Mooneyspace member dva) will sponsor the 2017 MooneySpace social gathering scheduled to happen in Oshkosh on Monday July 24th, 18:30 at the Mooney Caravan tent. Here are sone details about this business: Van Allen Airmotive is located in Allentown PA at Queen City Airport KXLL. We provide major airframe and engine services to GA singles and twins with light airframe and power plant to turboprops. As a Mooney owner, Dave Van Allen has a passion for the brand and offers special rates to Mooneyspace members on annuals and fuel tank reseals. Dave will be in Oshkosh for the entire show and looks forward to meeting forum members. Yves

    Lance, one option you have if you want to park your airplane near the Mooney Caravan folks is to adjust your arrival time so it is close to the one of the Caravan. Check the schedule on MooneyCaravan.com Yves

    About that Canadian shop, I got a price last year from them for an O-360 and they were at $30K + Tax CDN which is about $26.5K USD Tax is 15%. If you can get out of paying that it would be even cheaper. It is about time the dollar conversion rate can be used to the benefits of Canadians workers! Yves

    Here is a Canadian shop that could do it for you: http://www.aeroatelier.aero/en/aircraft-engine-overhaul Yves

    Some of you participated last year. It was a first for us to get this going. - Lessons learned: Buy more pizza, buy some beer. We managed last year to collect donation money for the MooneySpace site AND the Mooney Caravan safety foundation. After paying for the pizza and the tags, the remaining money was split evenly between the two. From memory we had TWO donators who donated $50 USD each: Hector and Drapo. Thanks for this folks! I I forgot someone, please let me know. I am asking you folks how much interest we have. This is what we are looking at: When? Monday July 24th Time: 6:30 PM (No End time) Location : Mooney Caravan Tent, North 40 Pizza will be ordered Beer will be purchased Name tags (cheap ones but they work) with MooneySpace call sign will be prepared in advance We will ask for donations again to pay for the Pizza and the beer. Any remaining money will be again distributed evenly between the two entities mentioned above. Please let us know if you plan to attend and how many persons. Yves and Ned

    CNV9 (Neuville) is also an option for Quebec city. I have not used it yet... it is been years since I flew to Quebec city. Last time was 5-6 years ago to see a Madonna's show. That is when I realized that standing-up for hours in a crowd not fitting (squeezed like sardines) is not something I like at my age. Yves

    Cyril, where was that in Quebec, was it the city of Quebec? Yves
  24. yvesg
    He took off a few minutes ago.

    Ned, his call sign is Pinky. He flew with the Caravan two or three years ago. I recall him well. Yves
