The B-cool system is pretty well developed… Lots of input over the years… The icebox came before it and proved how well a cooler with ice in it works… in low power environments… Keeping the water out of the air and in the cooler is everything… Wifi, and fancy controls are nice… There are even a few home made devices for the deep CBs in the hotter neighborhood…. Great cooling for the times you can’t be at altitude! Draining water back out… the pump can do that too… Some Mooneys have a floor drain for that in the baggage area… Best regards, -a-

Evaporative coolers don't work well unless the input air is dry, so if it's just taking air from inside the space it's cooling it's continually decreasing its own effectiveness. As mentioned, you can make an icebox cooler for not much more than that, or these days you can even buy one already made: https://www.etsy.com/listing/603150517/12v-portable-air-conditioner-cooler-30 I don't think that one has a pump and heat exchanger like most of the home-brew ones or like a B-Kool, but it'll probably make a difference in a Mooney cabin. I live in AZ and even this summer when we've had more than 34 days over 110F, I'm fine in the airplane with the B-Kool. Checklist and startup gets uncomfortable, especially if there are delays, but once the cooler is on I'm fine. https://www.b-kool.net/

Out of thousands of MSers a dozen(?) may have A/C installed... Where they live/fly heavily weighs on their decision... Hundreds may have an Icebox type cooler... they really work and they are not an investment... TKS systems come in two flavors FIKI and non-FIKI... Anyone with an IR that flys year round is familiar with the value proposition... Winter in the NE... Anti-ice is a great benefit... Great Lakes related... ever send someone out to warm the car? Or start the car at lunch time, so it will start later in the evening? Summer in TX to FL... A/C is a great benefit... Have you counted days on the ground over 100°F in a row?...ever send somebody out to cool the car by running the A/C? The decision process to decide A/C vs.. FIKI.... May look like this. Planes don’t fall out of the sky because the pilot is sweaty... Planes can fall out of the sky with extreme build up of ice on wings and props... Have you ever been sweaty in a plane? Have you ever been sweaty with a wing load of ice? Do you only fly in the summer? Do you only fly in the winter? Have you owned a plane before? How long does it take for you to take the plane out of the hangar, run-up, and depart? (Pre-flight is done indoors out of the sun) For Some MSers... this is a ten minute ordeal... for others the Taxi out to the run-up area is 15 minutes... So... looking for somebody that is in a position similar to yours... and give valid advice to help you out... seems like a tiny group... You may find people East of large bodies of water in cold climes really love their anti-ice equipment... The more serious The pilot is about their flying... the easier this decision becomes... the maintenance on the sub-systems is just another part of the process... The more casual The pilot is about their flying... the more they can defer a flight for another more comfortable day... or get going a bit earlier to avoid the heat of the day... So... pick the engine you want to fly... NA, TC, TN’d pick the volume of the plane that fits best... SB, MB, LB... Pick the panel that supports your type of flying... Light IFR, or latest WAAS based IFR... then figure out what makes you sweat more... heat or ice? I would bet you have decided upon what makes the most sense for you already... Now to firm up the budget... 100 AMU 200 AMU 300 AMU more? Count me in the more casual, commonly deferring flights... camp. Weather planning has really improved over the last five years. Much more accurate at avoiding crummy weather challenges... My biggest challenge was planning to be home Monday morning to go to work... Best regards, -a-

Welcome aboard, Mark... Want to do some reading..? There are plenty of reviews of all the icebox coolers... https://mooneyspace.com/search/?q=Icebox cooler&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and Best regards, -a-

The manual gear is fun to get to know... 1) There is a speed that is best for putting them up... slow, but not too slow... airspeed vs. gear doors, and stall speed... 2) There is a speed that is best for putting them down... fast, but not too fast... airspeed vs. gear doors, and gear handle ripping through the cabin... 3) If you have been to the gym this week already, you probably can skip the optimum gear moving speeds. It takes strength, but not a lot of strength... 4) if your arms haven't visited the gym, the optimum gear speeds are easy to follow... useful runway has gone away, gear goes up... 5) going slowly aids when putting the gear away. The plane likes to accelerate so doing it early is better than waiting... 6) If you wait too long and you are going too fast.... simply raise the nose, the plane slows down and climbs while the gear gets easier to move... mostly what the Mooney bob is about. Doing the bob quickly, involves some momentum of the gear and weightlessness of the plane... use caution near the ground. 7) WOT...wide open throttle. The setting many Mooney drivers use from T/O to approaching the traffic pattern... Some adjustment in flying, for the yellow arc of the ASI, may be needed. 8) Under MGTOW the 180hp engine isn't terribly taxed. We would climb to 12,500' on a regular basis. Our bumps in NJ run out usually before 5,000' 9) Stuck under cloud cover, in summer, in the bumps, at lower altitudes would be uncomfortable... get an icebox cooler AC device... How is that? Best regards, -a-

On my C... I would pressurize the fuel system with the electric pump. Pump off. Then watch the FP decline with each pump of the throttle... The accelerator pump (listen up, Alex ) dumps heavy fuel droplets around inside the carb. Waiting some time allows for evaporation as Hank pointed out. The excess fuel heads for the drain and front tire. I used to turn on the fuel pump after it fired... I also didn't want to wait for the fuel to fully evaporate, knowing the the fuel I wanted in there was trying to leave the carb... using the fuel pressure to limit the amount of fuel is being delivered seems to be a good way to add some consistency to the procedure. +1 Shower of Spark maintenance make sure it is working properly. Spark timing for start is critical. +1 Magneto OH at 500hrs. Spark strength is critical. +1 Fine wire plugs. Getting the mixture to wear the spark occurs is critical. +1 cleaning out the lead balls that form in the lower plugs... Warm weather starting of the O360 should be pretty consistent. Once you define the right procedure that works... number of pumps of the throttle, throttle setting, time to wait Cold weather starting for me was a graph of OAT vs. number of throttle pumps. Old fuzzy PP memories of my M20C... Best regards, -a- For Alex.... Trivia: How many pumps does an M20C have... Answer: 8 Electric fuel pump mechanical fuel pump oil gear pump Prop governor's gear pump flap pump Left brake pump (cylinder) Right brake pump (cylinder) Accelerator pump (actuated by moving the throttle in) Option 1: de-icer fluid pump Option 2: icebox AC cooler (bilge pump) PP knowledge only, not a mechanic...

If anybody is interested I have an icebox brand cooler that I'm looking to sell. Not because it doesn't work, it works great, but because I have a second one and don't need 2. The one I'm selling has the wireless controller and you can separately control the fan and pump. If I don't sell it before leaving I'll probably bring it to Oshkosh to sell there, so easy delivery for caravan folks. As for draining, I always just pull the return hose out the baggage door and turn on the pump to drain onto the ramp. This is also how I gained my caravan callsign "Puddles"

I used one similar to the one on the left. I had an issue with it "moving" in the socket and losing contact with the base. I run into similar issues with the icebox cooler cigarette lighter plug. I don't know if it's a weird cigarette lighter socket; a lot may have changed since 1965. lol. Anyway, I have a pma450 with a usb slot, and it's been a Godsend.

Like a swamp cooler on the roof in Texas? Requires lots of evaporative cooling. Which needs the moistened air to be blown overboard. The weight of the water is quite a bit. The change in weight will effect WnB over time... And.... the reason it gets called a swamp cooler is it has a tendency to grow things. The interesting thing about this suggestion... As far out as it sounds, the icebox was pretty far out just a few years ago... All it takes is an energy balance to determine the energy that can be removed and how big the unit needs to be... An energy balance is similar in complexity as a WnB calculation. Challenging, but not too challenging. Helps to have an engineering background, but not a requirement... Am I even close? Best regards, -a-

37.5 @24VDC.......still a pretty high, thank goodness for the icebox cooler and a good climb rate.

There may have been one reported done around here. With the invention of the icebox air cooler there has been little demand for real ACs. The price of real AC is similar to a small car for your kid to drive. The real need for cooling usually ends a few thousand feat above the ground. Expect that the place to get such a complex job done would be an MSC. Parts and data supplied by Mooney. If you are at a large airport in Texas, or similar, real AC can make a lot of sense. A small airport in NJ, not so much... Best regards, -a-

Well I don't see much need to run the cooler much longer after liftoff, I mean usually I get very decent cooling by the vents, so it is mostly for pre-flight, taxi and after landing... So I think the 90 min battery that comes with the Icebox kit should be good enough, or if I can run a wire and plug it into the cigarette lighter, that would be ok, as long as there is no permanent wiring.

I ran a harness from my battery into the baggage compartment for my battery tender. It is a common 2 prong plug, fortunately. I then found a 12v cigarette receptacle with the corresponding 2 prong plug, and simply plug it into my harness when I need to use the icebox cooler. Works great. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Lately I have been leaving the icebox cooler in the plane in case I just wanted to show up and go I can get a bunch of cubed ice from the FBO, which will last about an hour. If I'm planning to fly more I load up a smaller cooler with blocks of ice from my freezer to take to the airport. They basically fill the entire smaller cooler and after 45min there's barely a drop of water in the bottom. The key is to not add the water until you're ready to use it. The ice blocks last a lot longer that way.

Here is my parts list- 1) Pump: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O8B7VO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think I would go with a lesser capacity pump because this one moves a lot of water. I'd recommend you keep it around the 200gph mark at most. 2) Plumbing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UOUBW4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also bought some 1/2" ID tubing for the outlet. The inlet is 3/4" ID 3) 12v cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Z0HVHA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 4) Fan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F7ANK7S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I went with this one to keep the noise level down but I would recommend something that moves a little more air. 5) Heater Core: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009DK66RO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 6) Icebox: Marine grade ice cooler from Walmart for 30 bucks. 7) 3" intake hose from Autozone for 20 bucks. I ran mine today with some ice in it and it worked well. The ice did not last very long because my pump is moving too much water so I may look changing it out. I may also replace the fan with something that moves a little more air than what I have at the moment.

Hey guys, You all helped launch the IceBox air conditioner last summer. It did extremely well and its part of our line up with the winter "SwitchBox" and more airplane tech products coming out. We sold about 200x IceBox last year in two months and now its placed in catalogs for Aircraft Spruce, MyPilotStore, Mcfarlane, Sarasota Avionics, etc. Thanks for helping develop the product and kickstart it. 1) Off-Season Discount == We are getting a bunch of orders from King-Air and Twin Cessna guys in Australia and South Africa right now! Wild but true. They are pre-cooling the cabin before engine start + factory air. So we are in full production again. If you'd like to get an IceBox for the summer send us a PM or message. We'll take 25% off all the items (IceBox, Battery, Gel packs, Pilot Cable, etc.) Starting soon it will go back to full price and might increase depending on new parts/supplier arrangement, but 25% off for now until it ends. 2) Bluetooth Thermostat with Free App === We developed a really really great accessory! I made the IceBox power cable removable so that you can adopt new accessories and add-ons we create. We made the IceBox fully bluetooth now with a huge feature --- automatic thermostat. We've stretched the cooling time to HUGE values, data coming soon, but its truly remarkable. The IceBox is now fully controlled by a micro-controller and you dont have to do anything. As you climb through the altitude levels it will regulate the output and save your 'fuel mix', and lasts a really really long time now. Interface provided FREE with included Iphone/Ipad/etc app. More details soon, but Im going to run an intro-price on this for $99.

Hey guys, Ive been testing the new 'collapsible cooler' to transport the cold fuel from the House/Freezer to the plane. I froze 12x gel packs for 24hours and they went solid blocks. I put all of them in the insulated collapsible style cooler, and zipped it up. It was subjected to constant 90-95F for 18 hours. Just checked on the gel packs and all of them are still frozen solid . Maybe down by 20% on some packs. ** I put some 'high quality' gel packs in there also.. 3-4x just to see... they are sold at a SuperMarket for transporting expensive Juices and those are all mush right now. So ours are holding up really good in my test *** Bunch of current IceBox users and customers from the competitors, have been writing me to sell accessories like: sunshades, collapsible cooler, the "goo tube" metal coil, etc.. If you guys are interested, I can get 25-30x of them until they sell out. Let me know how I can help. Pictures below. My new current setup will be to bring this insulated bag to the plane full of Frozen gel packs. The extra ones/unused can be saved for the return flight or ask a passenger to throw a few in during the flight. Stays frozen and will elongate the AC time more and more.

Pirep from 7/14 flight: Flight plan was KMJX to 20N via the Hudson Corridor (over NYC). A Yankee's game over the stadium/TFR created a low level flight with plenty of ATC hand offs throughout the NYC Bravo. OAT: 97 (feels like 103 it said.. felt like a swamp) Fuel: 40lbs of Gas Station Ice Cubes Recipe: 1 gallon of Water, 40lbs cubed ice, no insulation lid I got to the plane which was tied down in transient parking (KMJX) and tried a new flow with the IceBox. I opened the baggage door, took the icebox out... filled it with the water and turned on the water pump (connected to Aux Battery + Pilots Cable). It took a few start & stop rounds before the air was pushed out of the lines and water in its place. Then I dumped all 40lbs into the cooler (probably 38lbs) and made room for the fan on the left side to go into the mix. I lifted the cooler into the plane, attached the hose and started the baby up. Pre-Cooling for 5-10mins while I checked out the outside of the plane. (I felt that filling the cooler outside the plane was much easier for me than trying to bring bags into the cabin/baggage compartment) Sasha/dog and I jumped in the plane and it was heavenlyyyyy. The best pre-cool cabin Ive gotten so far. Outside the plane was barely tolerable and inside the plane was FBO-quality to me. Dog fell asleep immediately and I opened an Ice Tea. I ended up spending 30mins inside the cockpit, sunshade still in just hanging out. Ha. I checked the flight plan, weather, emailed you guys and took pictures. I had no passengers, only the VIP in the back, and felt no pressure to taxi or start the engine or anything. Finished snacking and dilly dallying and started the engine finally. I loved this sense of slow-down summer flying, never had I experienced that kind of pre-flight during a hot July month in NYC. Taxiing to the departure #s, I remembered to reach under the seat and make a quick flip of the Pilot's Cable to "Plane Power". Nice, i see the ammeter read 4Amps higher. I know that Im on plane power. 1. I turned off the fan. Mannnnn.... Scorching immediately. Right behind your ears. 2. I tried turning off the pump and used my IFR watch to count how many seconds until the exhaust temp got warm again... I calculated 3.5mins and I wanted the pump again. 3. I turned the pump on.. moved some more freezing water into the "radiator chamber" and then turned off the pump again... Again 3.5 mins of nice cool air and then warm. Sometimes I would forget if the pump was indeed ON or OFF. An easy way for me was to just unplug the cigarette cord from teh plane. Then everything was 100% off and when i plugged back in, I did On and On, for the Pump & Fan. And I knew where I was at. ** Do you guys see where Im getting here... I need to build you all a small Arduino/Bluetooth box with an external exhaust temp sensor and an internal water temp sensor. It plugs into your IceBox and then your power cable plugs into it. Score for a removable cable design! Then.. I need to make you a FREE Tablet or Phone APP (a la SwitchBox) which has a graphical user interface. It asks you "What temp for your Cabin?" You set the temp... a picture pops up with a recipe for this setup (3 gel packs + 15 lbs Ice + .5g water... foam lid... 20 lbs ice) and 2x switches (app/software) which control your fan and pump. In the Auto setting you got a THERMOSTAT ! Pump on... prime the radiator with freezing water, pump off. Fan ON. Monitor cabin temp at the desired user setting. Cabin temp is getting too hot... pump ON.. displace water in radiator for 5 seconds.. primed. Pump off. Guys, the AC will last for 10 hours this way. Probably more. Climb to alititude. Cabin temp is 70 degrees. Unit goes to sleep. Start your descent, cabin temp rising, water temp is still low = available for cooling ... turn On unit and max it out for the hot descent. No more thinking/work needed after this box comes out. I think I can do it in a few weeks ** 4. Cabin vents ON. OAT says 97 but lets try cabin vents on anyways. You know what, I like it. All the vents come on, every door. Sasha likes it. We fly the rest of the flight like this, even though it doesnt make sense. Flight was easy and cruising. 1.5 hours in, I imagine the IceBox is mostly melted. I turn off the IceBox to see if its doing anything. Yep.. back to swamp land. Turn it back on, much better. Approach field, short field landing with a steep bank in the base leg (curious if the huge amount of water is gonna spill out the top slats = 45 degree bank) landing... OAT upstate NY at 20N is 88F. Landed and tying down, switch the pilots cable underneath my seat to Battery mode. Leave Sasha in the plane and he's comfortable and its cool in the cabin. No water spilled out, I click in the black drain hose with the nice snap-couplings. I turn on the water pump and its the dog fountain again. I get the pooch and he's drinking from the black hose, then flips around under the shade of the wing on the wet surface. Other pilots come over, curious and wondering why the plane is leaking water. Ha One pilot, a Diamond guy... was skeptical. He flies in the "Hot Greenhouse" he calls it, bec of the large glass canopy. He flies ONLY with his shirt OFF in the summer. Ha. He was about to take off and I offered to lend him the IceBox for the flight if he took a bet... I bet him not only would it fit nicely in the back of his small plane.. but... he could fly WITH his big English Setter, and keep his shirt On. Ha. lol He took the bet and went home to get his dog and buy the ice. Diamond guy told me he usually keeps his car running for 2-3 hours while he is gone, with the A/C running and keeps his dog in there on the field. Thats nuts and I was happy that he was gonna try flying with his pet now instead of that dangerous situation waiting to happen, and terrible on the exhaust fumes. So he took the bet and I took some photos of him putting his shirt back on. Haha. We plugged everything in and Nothing worked! No fan, no pump, nothing. We tried again. nothing. * Fail * I tried it and it started then stopped. * Fail * I said, show me your Voltmeter reading. He shows me.. 23.8 volts. 24 volts into a 12V icebox!~!! Immediate death! We unplugged everything immediately. I dont have any spare 24V adapters laying around but I do have my Aux Battery in my plane. I fetched it but its been used for at least 1-1.5 hours over the past 2 weeks. We plugged him into the Aux Battery setup and it was running perfect! Amazing... over voltage did not fry my own personal IceBox. Good to know, if you do this on accident. Dog and 2 big men are in the little Diamond/HotHouse and the IceBox is on one of the back seats. They are smiling and happy and they close the canopy. I get on my portable radio and talk with him, as they taxi away and depart the field... ... I won the bet!
