Encore Conversion

[Parker_Woodruff]

I just got this text (below) from Mr. Maxwell.  Going on Saturday to GGG to pick up the plane and then hopefully make it to HYI for the fly-in and maybe visit my brother in Austin.  Florida on Monday with a couple stops in between to see some people.

I'm a happy camper.  Just in time for some real travelling I have coming up for work.

 

my old inboard and inner gear doors are still for sale...

Did you have anything special done this time around?

[Seth]

Congrats on finally getting your Encore Parker!

The fly-in is at San Marcos (HYI) on Saturday, the 14th. Although the Vintage Mooney Group is going to be there in force, there is a general fly-in as well. Tour of the Red Bird Sim operation, new restaurant and a chance to fly in what looks like beautiful cool weather.

Congrats Parker.  I'm sure the wait (and the cost) will be more than worth it.

Could he have meant LOL in the test message, seems to be more like a typo than telling you how it was running???

[Parker_Woodruff]

Nope. The plane entered the shop not running well LOP and we fixed the induction.

Congrat's Parker, its good to see your Encore conversion completed!!!!!!!!!!

[fantom]

Parker is in thea air right now and showing off a bit. Up around 17,500 and 235 kts. Still not LOP I suspect, since the engine still runs a little rough.

We'll have to flow match his stock injectors, before buying GAMI's.

Gotta love those turbo Mooneys. 

 

[Parker_Woodruff]

Got it a touch LOP. 12.2 GPH gave me 188-191 KTAS at 17,000. 

 

Gonna strap on the mask and hit FL190 to FL next
