Okay so I flew my Cessna 172 for roughly 12 years and always wished I had a little more feedback from my engine other than oil temp and oil pressure. Specially when climbing high on a hot day. So that got boring and I found my way to a Mooney M20J 201. Did a firewall forward and went through it tip to tail. Love the handling and speed for sure. Put 70 hours on it in three months. A good portion of that time was figuring out what the indications on the gauges were telling the truth or a lie. Cylinder head temps, exhaust gas temps, fuel flow and fuel pressure doing funny things. I spend all my spare time flying and reading all the good stuff on this sight and have learned a ton about my new ride. It sure seemed a lot easier however when the engine in my Cessna was running smooth as glass and you just flew. We all have a ton of money invested in these awesome machines and hope these gizmos are helping us get the most out of it and fly safer but I can't help but think they are also making us a little crazy! Just throwing it out there.
