carusoam Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I really like the video that follows... Vettes on the boardwalk in OCNJ. 26N... Being only one man, it would be tough to fly and drive to OceanCity for the event. -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmag Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 @Little Dipper That was a very cool video. Definitely put a smile on my face. A lot of guys at SureFlight are motor heads I'm definitely sharing this one! It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday and playing in the Mooney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I bought the M20C to keep things from happening with the Vette.... Put one of these up on the glare shield near the fancy instrumentation... -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danb Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Great film at raceway, how much horsepower that rascal put out. My SL 550 would look like it's in reverse. sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Dipper Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I heard my Mooney possibly could be done this Friday. That would be one workday short of three weeks. My A&P who recommended someone else didn't it could happen in three weeks. This isn't a race but no matter what happens I am pretty pumped. I've read all 600+ pages in the 750 manual. Don't know how much I've retained but this trucker is ready to get back in the air and go Space Trucking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Dipper Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 I am very pleased with the workmanship. She is most ready to go space trucking... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Dipper Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Flown 10 hours since the panel completion and very pleased with the Garmin product and Chris's workmanship at Sureflight. I have it pretty much have the 750 figured out but haven't tried the voice recognition/commands so far. I'm probably going to get rid of the I-Pad on my yoke as it no longer serves any useful purpose. I have a business trip to KAVL tomorrow and am looking forward to it. I will be looking for a buyer for the equipment removed from my panel as well as my prop that was replaced last year when I upgraded to the 310 hp. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIm20c Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 What type of approval was necessary to mount the G5 on the copilot side? Thinking of doing that myself. Did you install the magnetometer and gad 29? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is also hooked into the pitot static system. I'm looking very forward to right seat flying with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A JPI EDM 900 would easily fit where you have those panel blanks and take out the old gauge cluster above. Check out @Marauder's panel. There's plenty of room for a Stormscope as well. We love to help folks spend their money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esentially, the flexible clear pvc hose that was used later on for vacuum lines from the back-up vac pump is made by compounding PVC plastic with an oily plasticizer. This oil seems to be coming out of solution when used in our application... Another place where this used to be common was on automobile dashboards. The oily deposit would show up on the inside of the windshields.... Could be heat and or vacuum related... Read the thread, people were reporting some drops of liquid being found. Best regards, -a- I shouldn't have ignored your thread.....My backup vacuum pump failed due to oil in the vanes. My the backup vacum pump has been replaced and the clear pvc hose is going to be completely replaced from the front to the back on Monday. The plumbing and the pump was installed by the factory in 1997 so it lasted a long time. Glad the failure was caught on the ground.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
