I was leaving my mother's house and started the car. She came out and flagged me down concerned there was something wrong with the engine. Despite how it sounds, it still delivers 24 miles per gallon and doesn't use a drop of oil. I could only imagine a V8 would be a lots more refined but use twice as much fuel.

I take the pleats and wash them in a varsol bath in a Ziplock container, then move a neodium magnet from an ID badge all though the varsol and across the interior surfaces for several minutes to draw any ferrous particles. This collects absolutely everything. When the magnet dries off I get a tiny bit of microscopic fuzz or just a small amount of ferrous mud stuck to the magnets. Lyc allows up to 9 pieces of significant size metal particles. I then agitate the varsol and dump it into into a black plastic shallow tray, let it settle, then drain off the varsol leaving behind varsol/oil residue and any non-ferrous metal, like panning for gold. Non ferrous particles are visible against the black plastic. I usually get some random tiny speckles of what look like aluminum, probably wrist pin plug wear. Pretty much the same result every time.

Very simple answer to that question: keep your airspeed right. I loved to fly M20J 201s when I was active. Never had difficulty controlling speed and glidepath. However other memebers of the flying club owining two examples did not think the same, so just a few of us flew the Mooneys, so few, that when rationalizing things, the club sold out the Mooneys, to my sadness.

Best things I ever added besides my IFR ticket were radar altimeter and speed brakes. Flew several times to Ocracoke. Great little airport for a day trip. Trip home (W00, outside DC) was always half naked with sand in inappropriate places. Try flying to Chesapeake Bay’s Tangier Island for crab cakes. Better hurry before the runway disappears.

Look and compare the new XeVision XeTreme LED Par-36 size with active cooling. 2.5 to 3X the Candela ( cd or CP ) comparing the output of EVERYTHING currently on the market, even the "newest" products. The units are "future proof" upgradeable, repairable, modular. A long term durable investment ( not throw away ) Anti reflective (AR) hardened glass lens, premium largest optimal TIR optics, (landing or taxi beam or combo) nitrogen flushed and sealed optics (no condensation inside) CNC'd and anodized aluminum parts, water proof IP-65, No significant dimming as warming up, never hot to the hand. Patented heat management technology. 3 selectable output modes but still requires only a 2 wire connection for 100 watts 12/14 or 24/28 Volt systems. 1Lux at 1/3 mile, this is phenomenal disruptive performance. About 11,000 sustained Lumens output. Finally actually comparablbe to high output and performance HID landing lights. FAA RTCA DO-160 certified tested EMI and RFI, the strictest levels passed. Just Google search this new recently unveiled aviation product from XeVision, USA made, US and Swiss designed.

On the question of is it worth the money, that will be up to each person to determine. I can tell you that those LED lights are significantly more visible than the old lights. Since we needed to replace the wingtips due to the cracks developing, it made sense to put in the LED at the same time.

I finally pinpointed the root causes of my floating issue. Of course, it was higher-than-proper airspeed, but that was being caused by how the Mooney _feels_ so tail-low at landing speed (compared to Piper or Cessna). That “leaned back” feeling, in a Cessna or Piper, would mean you’re in slow flight, just a few knots above stall. In the Mooney, that’s just how it feels when you’re going slower than 90kts. I have to constantly reassure myself that this is the speed the POH calls for and keep glancing at the amount of white arc still remaining.
@btflync3 жыл бұрын
Joe - I think you’ve got it. Once you get comfortable with the pitch attitude you need on final that’ll take care of your fast approach speed.
@jemenake3 жыл бұрын
@@btflync I think another aspect is that, when you throttle back and put the flaps down, Mooneys require a lot of back-pressure (compared to other planes people get used to when working up to a Mooney). This can also give the impression that you’re holding it right above a stall.
@btflync3 жыл бұрын
@@jemenake That's a great point. Gear deployment/retraction and flap changes all require running the trim switch at the same time to anticipate those pitch changes. Coming from a 172 or Cherokee those pitch changes are certainly different. What always amazes me is how quickly they descend on short final at 71 knots and full flaps.

Right on man. Speed control is paramount. Mooneys can get in and out short runways if a person flies at the proper airspeed. When I first moved the plane a 1966 m20-E to Fallbrook (L18) airport in California I found it quite the challenge as it sat on top of a hill with drop offs at both end and a 2160 foot runway. After about a year there and continually slowing the plane down I found I found I could consistently pull off half way down the runway. Next conquest? Lake Wolfort (8CL1)(with a 1,344 foot runway also on top of a hill with sharp drop offs at both ends of the runway. Being light on fuel and only myself onboard I decided to go for it. I came over the numbers with the stall horn blaring but I made it. Made it out without a problem as well. What a confidence builder. If you can poke a Mooney into a 1,344 foot runway, you can go almost anywhere. Point is, with proper airspeed control, a Mooney can get into very short runways. I now live on an airpark in Arizona and daily I see planes coming in so fast they look like they are making a high speed flyby. So silly and my current runway is 5,500 feet long. Get proficient with proper airspeed control and you can get most aircraft in very short runways with safety.
