I gifted one to each of the two instructors I worked with last week during an accelerated commercial course in Waterloo Iowa, and they have promised to encourage all of their students to use the discount code and get one. Your influence continues to spread, my friend. Cheers, Rick Thanks Rick! I wish I had known you were in Waterloo, I would have flown down and had lunch or dinner with you. Did you take your check ride with Tim? Cheers, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Junkin Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yes, and I'm still here waiting for ceilings to lift so I can get home. Probably won't be going anywhere until mid day tomorrow at the earliest, probably not until Wednesday morning. I can get around/above the icing here, but not down through it in overcast STL, so need to wait until I can go under it at a reasonable altitude. No scud running for this old pilot. Cheers, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Rocket seems like it has superb heat when its -10C OAT. But I tell you when it gets down to -30C or below....not enough. Same in my car...car heat seems pretty good...but when it gets to -30C...not good enough. My 231's heater turns my fuel valve into a branding iron. But I have two major air leaks into the cabin so it's not enough at -10c. No CO though! Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llamasftmyers Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I heard a talk at the Mooney Summit in Panama City Beach in 2018 by the contributor. Not thinking about it in the past, the talk struck home and I purchased the Sensorcon unit the next day. We check the CO on every flight along with O2 levels since we fly in the mid teens. Highly recommend the unit and if you were to hear about his ordeal, you would get a unit immediately. Thanks Dan 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of lakes. Oh wait - you said liquid lakes? Never mind. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.... just like the ones I used to know! Well I've gotten some nice cross country skiing 9 days during the last 2 weeks - with my little buddy. We're surviving the cold somehow....
