Welcome to Mooney ownership.

That's more jarring than the first 10amu repair bill.  So much for a honeymoon period for this hapless new owner...

VERY NIICE... Welcome to the club...

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.

It ain't over until the fat lady finds metal in the filter.

Don't encourage him, he'll post another picture!!

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.

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!

I think ya'll scared him away!

None of those things are even remotely an issue as long as you have your Cam Guard in

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...

And don't forget to include the finer points of Swiss watches...

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.

There's two of us at Tuskegee. One left a couple of months ago.

[Brandontwalker]

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.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo...........

I feel a big one coming... You guys need to stop sticking sticks in the elephant habitat. You're going to start a stampede.

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.

+1 on maintenance at PLR. We have a house on the lake. Let's get together sometime!
