Mike can confirm the details, but I believe the sat/sun seminars are restricted to those who registered due to space constraints. 1 Quote
Alan Fox Posted September 28, 2018 Report Posted September 28, 2018 I have arrived at the summit , 1) Took the Bonanza 2)arrived with Mooneyspace royalty AKA Carusoam 3) had too much food and too many Margeritas last night , 4) communicated with Anthony and assorted controllers , in a mock , and annoying Boston accent , 5) so far a good trip.... 1 Quote
kris_adams Posted September 28, 2018 Report Posted September 28, 2018 So we didn’t end up making it down last night but should be headed that way in the next hour or so. Not quite as long of a flight as 201ers yesterday https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N4679H We are looking forward to seeing everyone!! Quote

Actually, except for a cloud layer in ATL, a scattered to broken cloud layer at ECP, and minor deviations around small buildups we were VMC the whole way at 6000. Perfect for a wx coward like myself. 2 Quote

However im thinking of you all, while sitting here in Sunny London having Breakfast at Smiths of Smithfield. (Thats a place to add to your contacts if you are ever in town.). Have a great summit. Dont forget to keep Alan Fox under control Off to choose wedding rings later Andrew Around the corner from my favorite hotel in London (The Rookery) and a few doors down from one of my favorite restaurants (Comptoir Gascon, although I'll admit that Smith's is fun too)! Wedding rings? Are congratulations in order !? 1 Quote

What caused the 500’ spike in your FlightAware altitude record? Something funny happening there... just an observation... Best regards, -a- Quote

Seth Posted October 1, 2018 Report Posted October 1, 2018 Thank you all for a wonderful Mooney Summit! Please continue to post pictures, suggestions, and follow up. We’ll take it all to heart in planning Mooney Summit VII next year! Sept 27-29 2019!! -Seth 2 Quote
carusoam Posted October 1, 2018 Report Posted October 1, 2018 Some Mooney found escaping KECP. photo zoomed a maximum amount. The photo ship was not able match the speed / fuel burn of the Mooney speedster... Go iPhone photography! This could only be made better by converting it to a Bonal original! remove some of the reflection from the photo ship’s windows... Best regards, -a- 3 Quote

Best regards, -a- You need to get a polarizing filter that will help to remove the glare form the windows. I'll be sending you some of Alan's plane. Oh and I was holding back on the Mooney and y'all still could not keep up with in the Bonanza. Quote

The altitude spike is interesting...certainly didn't do a climb to 11.3k' for 1 minute. Not sure how to explain it-no GPS loss or xponder loss or anything--nothing said to us by Atl approach. 1 Quote

Now that is a sweet ride , You should have seen us on the way home.... The whole plane was packed from the back of our seats , to the hat rack , with Mooney parts... 3 Quote
carusoam Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 The vertical fin is critical to keeping the plane going the right direction... By observing the world class Mooney in the first pic, it is a challenge to see the speed and efficiency... one thing that IS clear... New Orleans is That Way! <———— See if we can find a good vertical fin for the Reaper-Mobile... Best regards, -a- Quote
Alan Fox Posted October 8, 2018 Report Posted October 8, 2018 And Anthony has "Flipped" for the V-Tail.... Quote
