HopePilot Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah, but don't I look cool? My approach was screwed up by a Ceasna that couldn't get the lead out. I actually found this photo online and didn't know it was taken at the time.
MooneyMitch Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah, sure.............excuses, excuse, excuses!! Vicki is just gorgeous!!
N222VS Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 I always use them when I need them! I love them to get to gear down speed, then I stow unless I need on final.
HopePilot Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 As the attached photo illustrates, Mooneys have been landing with their speed brakes extended since the Civil War.
jetdriven Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 Col. Thaddeus Lowe would have been proud and sad at the same time. Proud you accomplished so much with so few gallons of fuel in aeronaut matters, and sad he didn't pick a Mooney as his personal mount!
Vref Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 Hope, just wondering you have speedbrakes under your wing also..?...I see something sticking out on your bottom RH wing..
HopePilot Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 I believe that antenna is for a handheld radio, but I'm not sure. I was thinking of having it removed at annual.
Cruiser Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 I had one like that, it was connected to the LORAN reciever.

pjsny78 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 I land with speed brakes all the time. sometimes controllers ask what they are.
