You can't even practice partial panel approaches with that thing!


I had twenty years of partial panel practice. Time to move into the 21st Century.

I missed the whole painting thing.  What color scheme are you going with?

Haven't decided yet. Have been looking at a lot of Mooney photos. Some pretty nice planes out there. My paint is solid, but looking for a different look.

I did for 12 years.  I sold it last Fall and took over the C my dad has owned since 1982 that I learned how to fly in.  The sentimental attachment was too strong to let it go.

How's the interior coming along?

$30,000 panel and he just follows the magenta line on the iPad just like everybody else!! :lol:

No wonder the whole thing isn’t even worth $25,000!

I think you missed a gizmo, and completely left out installation charges in that guesstimate.

And no, "everyone" doesn't navigate with an ipad, or even a tablet. I use that fancy, overpriced Garmin WAAS box mounted in my panel, not a cheap, short-lived piece of consumer-grade electronic garbage with untested, unapproved software. My tablet isn't named after a fruit, and is sometimes inside my suitcase way in the back of the plane during flight (or in the seat of my truck . . . .), and that doesn't bother me in the least.

No, I don't mind calling a spade a spade, either.

Hi, Rob.  I don’t remember where I was with it when you helped me out with my placarding questions.  Physically I have only completed the cabin and baggage doors, but I have made a lot of design decisions that took me a while to nail down.  I’m doing a mix of Aero Comfort and Airtex and am modding in the nosewheel well cover and hat rack bow from ‘66 and later models that I prefer to the ‘65 treatments. 

The annual on the C ran out today, though, so the interior project is going to have to go on hold for a while.  On that front so far I know I am replacing the landing gear down lock block and nose gear steering horn with LASAR parts and who knows what else.  I haven’t taken the plane apart yet for inspection.   I had my J dialed in pretty well but with the C I am having to reaccomlish a lot of same tasks.  The advantage, though, is that the C is basically new firewall forward whereas my J was a runout.  Good times!

Jim

Hey, a passenger ashtray! I only had one on my side, and now there's an ashlight there, 4 little red LEDs powered by one AAA battery.

Is there insider information on this plane someone new to the forum and looking for a Mooney should know?  Are those pics of the current owner?

This thread is very confusing.  Feeling ‘left out’ of the jokes.

Welcome aboard Curious...

You should have been here yesterday! :)

It is a bit more obvious, when you recognize the date of the post...

Best regards,

I’m slow to the punch.   That’s not the F Exec 21 currently on Controller.  Understand!

It better not be my F posted on Controller! $25k couldn’t cover the cost of the avionics...
