Marc_B Posted December 23, 2024 Report Posted December 23, 2024 @George Braly Certainly don't want to let this offer pass by. If you were serious, how can we get this set up? Would definitely be interested and I know that others would as well. "Here is a modest proposal: If the Mooney folks would like to learn more, GAMI will offer to host a "Mooney Delegation" here at Ada. Maybe anywhere from 3 to six participants ? I will print out all of the material compatibility test data that the FAA has approved and we can sit down around a conference room and review that. I will answer any questions. In the process you can get a chance to see the engine test cell and maybe have an opportunity to observe while it is run on G100UL vs 100LL vs "other" PAFI/EAGLE type fuel chemistries. There may be some additional items of interest. Let me know?" Quote
KSMooniac Posted December 23, 2024 Report Posted December 23, 2024 I reached out to him directly last week and offered to drop in so that he could inspect my fuel tanks with a borescope since he put out that request recently. I think this offer is an expanded idea. If you've never been to GAMI, it is worth the effort! Especially to see their engine test cell. We're going to talk again after the holidays and see if there is a convenient window for at least me to visit... I'm only ~75 minutes away. 2 Quote
M20F Posted December 23, 2024 Report Posted December 23, 2024 I mean why don’t you call or email him directly versus posting on a public forum? Quote
Marc_B Posted December 23, 2024 Author Report Posted December 23, 2024 @M20F Already done. But Mr. Braly mentioned this on the forum and I thought this was a good way to open up to others on this forum. I also thought it was easier to separate the thread to make it easier to just keep this independent of any other discussion in the other thread. 1 Quote
Pinecone Posted December 24, 2024 Report Posted December 24, 2024 I would love to be part of this, if the timing works for me. 1 Quote
Paul Thomas Posted December 24, 2024 Report Posted December 24, 2024 I do hope that some members who attend have technical knowledge, are inquisitive, and represent the group well. Quote
Coachella Bravo Posted December 24, 2024 Report Posted December 24, 2024 I attended the Advanced Pilot Seminar held by them a few (7? maybe) years ago. I was totally impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail and the general warm mid-western hospitality that is evident at his facility and even to the coffee shops in Ada. The test stand was incredible, as was the class/seminar. My only wish was that we could have had the class last another day to further cover turbocharged aircraft. If they were to begin offering the seminar again I would seriously consider attending again as it is learning via firehose. Quote
