Oh, man...finally. Flew MTJ to BJC at 16,000...55-65kt tailwind and saw 205kts on the GPS! YAHOOO!!!!

No mtn wave. No chop. So rare.

Beautiful !!!   I have often said my J would be perfect if it was TN with manual wastegate.

first time we've seen sunshine in a week. Our hangar at bjc is empty for a few days if you need a place to park.

[Brian Scranton]

Thanks @peevee. Really appreciate that!

@Cody Stallings...I am getting my prop worked on at Aero Prop at KBJC. They have a Prop Saver Program for $1600--they pull the whole thing apart, IRAN, etc...my prop hasn't been touched since 1991 except for 100 hour Eddy current inspections and me replacing the crankshaft seal a few months ago and getting schooled in safety wiring! The shop next door offered to do a dynamic balance for $450 after the prop was put back on. Should I do that? I know the prop shop will do a static balance...

Thanks for your opinion!

Absalutly.

Dynamic Balance is a great idea.

@Brian Scranton My 3 blade Hartzell was balanced at install in '03. Had it checked at annual this year,  it read 0.1 ips. So the IA left it alone, charged $50 for the setup and test. I have no idea what a full dynamic balance costs . . .

@Cody Stallings...thanks man. If they have the time, they will do it. Seems worth the $450.
