DXB Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 Let's get him on his way! Welcome to Mooney ownership. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk That's more jarring than the first 10amu repair bill. So much for a honeymoon period for this hapless new owner... 1 Quote

ryoder Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 So I now know how to land a Mooney perfectly. Just never use full flaps. And make sure you don't cruise around LOP because a guy at the hangar has a friend whose engine disintegrated while flying LOP. He was also using an iPad for primary navigation and it shut off forcing him to land in the same golf course the Millenium Falcon went down in. The worst part was that his airplane wasn't serviced at a MSC and he had no transition training other than watching repeats of Top Gun. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Jeff_S Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 You guys are going easy on the newb. I think he should have to write a composition on the relative merits of flying LOP while simultaneously slipping down on final with full flaps and a 25 knot crosswind. Then we'll know whether or not he's drunk the Kool-ade. 2 Quote

FTFY, and he must be watching ADSB traffic and the AoA indicator, and running Tempest fine wire plugs with Camguard and Corrosion-X for protection, wearing flame-resistant flight suit and has 3 days' of survival supplies in the baggage compartment. We won't mention the short, obstructed grass field that's responsible for the hard slip . . . Or the coyotes and gopher holes . . . Oh, the joys of being the FNG! 1 Quote

Brandontwalker Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Posted August 21, 2015 And so it begins. Would someone like to remove the fat lady now? This was the first thing I saw after eating dinner. I'm not knocking you if you're in to that, but... Quote

Oldguy Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Welcome to the neighborhood! I know of at least 2 other Mooneys at KEET and there are about 10 over here at KPLR (Pell City). Maybe Hank's right - we need an Alabama Mooney gang. John 1 Quote
Hank Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 There's two of us at Tuskegee. One left a couple of months ago. Quote
Brandontwalker Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Posted August 21, 2015 I met a couple of Mooney guys at KEET tonight. I have family that lives on the lake and frequent KPLR. We do need our own club. Quote

Marauder Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 I feel a big one coming... You guys need to stop sticking sticks in the elephant habitat. You're going to start a stampede. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

One of them is a co-worker of mine and mentioned he met you yesterday. Give me a shout if you come over - I'm a whole 5 minutes from the airport. Plus, the mechanic there is a Mooney-trained one from a former MSC. John Quote
PMcClure Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 +1 on maintenance at PLR. We have a house on the lake. Let's get together sometime! Quote
