But, but no pilot relief tube yet??:( 

It comes with a 2 year supply of Gatorade and you get to pick the color (ingress/egress determination).

Hartzell needs to supply a spinner with about 1/4" larger diameter.  There has been a step mismatch with the cowling for years...

Now would be a good time to get it righter....

Wow that's sweet.  Would sure be nice to squeeze BRS into it though.  I think that's one of the most significant advances in aviation safety to come along in a while.

In an emergency evacuation, nice to have two doors with which to exit.

(an extra step might cost a couple knots though :))

Retracting step would be good.

I know an MSer with an STC for a linear motor application that could be used to remotely raise that step. It's current application is   automatically adjusting mixture...

Hmmmm, maybe the new Mooney could use automatic mixture control..?

- automatic mixture control for climb (blue box EGT)

- Peak

- LOP

- ROP

How is that thought, Rob?

I like it!  They could be the first OEM on the block to have the system!  How cool would they be then?  Actually talking to an Acclaim owner and the FAA about possible installation.  With tight GAMI spread, it would read TIT and manage mixture that way.  Have heard from a number of K owners as well, but no takers to date.  I have drafted field approval paperwork to piggyback on the STC for anybody not covered.  I would also consider broadening the STC if there was enough interest in any particular models.  With some additional software work, the system could also help manage TIT redlines.

It's right where mine was installed in 1970, except the panel is taller so the switch is a little higher.

Where was yours (mis)placed???

What is that white thing next to the gear switch?

LOL! I asked him that exact question. It is some sort of lever you need to move before you can activate the gear. Never saw one before until his plane. Didn't ask if the gear lever has a detent like most of the rest.
