jelswick Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 The boost pump wasn't pumping this weekend and going in for annual this week... Since I couldn't fly, I instead worked on video stuff from the flight to Smoketown, PA a few weeks ago. Over 50 kt headwinds coming home, but 205 knot ground speed on the way there. Quote
Barry Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Did you eat at the "Good and Plenty" Resturant ?? Quote
scottfromiowa Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Great video Jim. Enjoyed it! Beautiful plane/panel. I'll take one just like it in red. Quote
jelswick Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks Barry and Scott. No Good and Plenty restaurant this trip. There's actually a great pizza place within walking distance of the Smoketown airport and I'm not nuts about pizza, but theirs is really good...and the Amish buggys are tied up at the hitching posts just outside it. A pretty area of the country. We were too anxious to get back home knowing forecast was okay, but not improving either. And I'd love to help you with one Scott! While I'm not thrilled the boost pump cancelled a days flying for me, it really has been a gem from a maintenance perspective. I was used to a lot of maintenance from my '63 C getting it to the state I wanted it, but this one just goes annual to annual with just oil changes so far for about 4 years, so even though I uttered the words to myself "Mooney Pit" when it wouldn't pump, I'm overall thrilled with her. Her nickname will remain "Beautiful" for the time being. Have a great week! Quote
Sector95 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Sorry if this is a silly question, but why are there what looks to be 3 GPS moving maps on the panel? Quote
Barry Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Jim ... Next trip to Smoketown, try the Good N Plenty Restaurant. Family style eating of GREAT Amish food. It was (may still be) owned by Amish and the food (both quantity and quality) was fantastic. I used to be a microwave and HF carrier engineer for ATT and this was my stomping grounds. If I would stop for lunch there, the rest of the day was a gonner ... (burp !!) ) Quote

thinwing Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Nice editing and music....nice aspen panel also...thanks for posting...kpc Quote
jelswick Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 In case I can't find one of the moving maps, there's a few others to find! Seriously, I just really like the redundancy aspect. If I get lost with this setup, I really can't claim any valid excuse. I WILL make the Good N Plenty restaurant a planned stop next trip out there. I have a feeling the guy I ferried from dropping his aircraft off for paint is likely to want a ride back out to get his aircraft; so I'll likely get the chance. And thank you Thinwing! You're Bravo is looking awfully sweet as well! The video is not via any of my talent...the app called Muvee Reveal is just excellent in simplifying the process. You basically pick your pictures and videos to include, sequence them in the order you want, pick a song to include under it from your music library (itunes or whatever), pick the style presentation, add intro and trailer text and it does the rest. So simple even I can do it! (I'm an IT Project Manager and hopefully good at it, but they don't want me touching lines of code!). Quote
jelswick Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 Just saw your photos Nick and you have quite the sweet 201 there too! Would love to have a few of you participate at the Indianapolis Air Show Mooney Ambassador event this May and hope to meet a lot of you at OSH this year! Quote
