xcrmckenna Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 I know having more entry's will hurt my chance of winning. But I thought this was a good thing and wanted to pass it on. It would be cool if at least a Mooney Space member won the $1,000 in parts. https://lasar.com/tshirt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Quote
RLCarter Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 Looking at their new site it seems some of the prices have come way down, LASAR has always given me excellent service and now it seem it will be a little easier on wallet........ Quote

bonal Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Will be bringing mine in for annual tomorrow and had a conversation with Robert about never getting a price break on the flat rate by model even though I do a considerable amount of work and not just little things but many of the more complex tasks. Robert said I stand to do better with the new owners so we will see. What I can say is from what I have heard the mechs they are very happy with the new owners. But that is not meant and a disparity against Paul and Sherry. They have always been great but I have always had a bit of an issue with no price breaks on the owner assistance annual. 1 Quote
gsxrpilot Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 I just always assumed most shops would charge extra for an owner assisted (owner hanging around getting in the way, asking too many questions) annual. 2 Quote
Chocks Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Yep, owner assist costs more, not less. I'm pretty sure they all have the plaque hanging on the wall somewhere. (Check the restroom) Standard Hourly Rate: $75 Owner Assist Hourly Rate: $100 Owner (engineer/technical) Assist Hourly Rate: $200 It will look something like this: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Raptor05121 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Good luck everyone. Maybe my spending 15+ hours a day on social media might help my Mooney in a positive way Quote
Gone Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Clarence encourages us to participate in his annuals of our aircraft. He does not always have the most patience, but he recognises the utility of a pilot learning about their own systems. I will be doing mine this year in his shop after a two year hiatus caused by work. For myself, I do not hold myself to be better than an apprentice - and that is with a Summa Cum Laude degree in engineering. Smart engineer. Smart enough to not fly something I might fix myself. Clarence will tell me if my work is acceptable. My own work is not always acceptable - but when the annual is signed off, I know the work has been done well, including correcting any mistakes I might make. I already have a maintainer like this, but I am fairly certain that others might wish for the same. Quote

I have never calculated how many hours I contribute but is is typically a couple of fun days by myself opening her up, cleaning, and inspecting followed by three fairly hard days with him inspecting, servicing, repairing, and reinstalling everything. A good deal for both of us as far as I am concerned. Jim Knowing ones aircraft inside and out, in my opinion, is optimum. Participating is invaluable to me. 2 Quote
Yetti Posted July 11, 2017 Report Posted July 11, 2017 I always try to pay more than what my IA asks for the annual. He always mumbles something like "you did all the work". Sometimes he will take a little more. 1 Quote
HRM Posted July 11, 2017 Report Posted July 11, 2017 Just give me 11 gear pucks and I'll be happy. 1 Quote
MyNameIsNobody Posted July 11, 2017 Report Posted July 11, 2017 Great marketing idea by Lasar. One organization I do not mind receiving marketing information from... 1 Quote
ArtVandelay Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 Bump....has anyone received their shirt yet? Quote
Raptor05121 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 Not yet. I believe they are shipping them out all at once. Quote
xcrmckenna Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Posted August 7, 2017 Well someone has got their shirts, sadly I haven't yet. Quote
kortopates Posted August 7, 2017 Report Posted August 7, 2017 I got mine too! Except for the conventional neckline, mine looks the identical. 1 Quote

Bennett Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 I'm west coast, and I didn't receive my free shirt, or the ones I ordered to give to Mooney friends. Bummer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Skates97 Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 I don't recall an email but mine was in the mailbox when I got home today! Hopefully the others start showing up at your places soon. Quote
animalmover Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 Got my shirt in the mail today. Thanks Lasar! 1 Quote
HRM Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 A pox on all of you, all I got was a lousy email... Quote
