I was just at the airport for the airshow over the weekend and saw that derelict twin sitting along on its own patch of asphalt. Any idea what the type is? I don't recognize it.

Awesome demonstration of the GFC500. I’ll have the 4 servo installed in my J model in about 2 months and can’t wait.

Hold up…that’s not greenwood lake airport bro…wtf. I think that’s Orange County? Definitely not greenwood lake I live in the landing pattern

I wonder if you can call Flight Services and tell them you can't reach C/D and see if they have another frequency or number for you.....

Ingredients may be the same but one soup tastes way better. The execution is as important as the ingredients are. Not saying any one brand is better but some people may prefer one brand over the other due to the execution and how its packages. Me personally, I’m learning to fly in Garmin products and since that’s what I know I will most likely go for because I know it well. Despite the added cost.

Looks like y'all had a wonderful time! Thanks for sharing. :)

Sorry, I did not notice but what autopilot do you have?

👍🔊🌐🇺🇸

Dynon Skyview 👍

On top of what? 😂😂 it’s SCT at best

I had the pleasure of stopping at KPOU on my journey from KBGR to KSHD in my Cherokee. Paula’s Cafe was open, I ate lunch there after ordering fuel. I had a chicken salad wrap, my meal was excellent,the service was very friendly and professional, I was very pleased. As I ate my lunch, I checked weather on WIFI for the next leg of my trip. I give Paula’s Cafe 5 stars and I give KPOU 5 stars as well, the controllers were excellent.

tl;dr , budget $1500/month for the year, wet. And over that time you’ll build up a surplus hopefully, for your MOH. And / or you’ll have a couple thousand saved for maintenance intervals, paint touch ups, etc.

The Ovation is the best bang for the buck in GA...

Best co-pilot ever.

This is super helpful for someone like myself researching. You make a good point in hobbies. Fishing is almost as expensive for me and it will go by the wayside for this. BTW, your Mooney is beautiful!

Slowing down without speed brakes means power to idle. Advise you passengers that you are going to pull up and that it is normal. Once past the FAF get to the lowest part of the glideslope and pull up at around 10 degrees and watch the airspeed fall. Once below Vle drop the gear. Then get back on the glideslope. In my E it would take around 150 feet to get the gear down. When the controllers want you to keep the speed up they will appreciate that you can comply. Without doing this you will never get below Vle.

That's beautiful..

Thanks for the reply to my question. it looks like you bought well with the 750. Good Flying to you!

Thanks. Do you know the difference between an Ovation, Ovation2 and Ovation3. I can't get the dealers/sales folks to tell me. Thx.

What's the cruise speed/GS of this unit?

Hi. How does the garmin glass cockpit compare to the dynon setu p? I know that it's generally better but dynon is also cheaper. Is the price difference worth it or Dannon is a good budget option? Thank you

Hi. I've only flown G1000 and the 2nd screen serves as the MFD. I'm planning on getting a cessna and this is a cheaper route than buying a cessna with g1000. Is the 2nd dynon more for redundancy because the avidyne serves as gps/mfd correct? Thank you.

Hi. Where did you get all these done? And how long did it take to get everything done? Thank you

201 driver here…I know in your Ranger you had the Dynon and Avidyne running which is the direction I am leaning since Dynon is now actually working on the certifying the AP for the mid body Mooney. Would you go with a single IDF550 or two IDF 440’s with a single HDX 10” screen? Thx

nice!

"the AC is pretty cool to have".... aint that the truth

merci

Looks like you're putting those new avionics to good use!

this is beautiful one, I hope i can find mine m20

If you want to raise your YTchannel to the next level, find out how to add your plane's real time data to show on screen as we watch. I keep trying to see your temperature gauges, and if they were on screen 100% of the time, I'm sure you'd attract many more viewers because other channels aren't doing it either. Start the trend, reap the rewards. If you replace all those cameras with a single Insta360 setup at the location of the one that gives the view at 55:50, with instruments displayed along the top of frame, I'm certain your channel will thrive and you'll ease your own media nightmare of storage space and the Insta360 doesn't overheat like GoPro.

Dynon needs to get the main display certified for navigation as well. It makes no sense that a little crappy nav unit costs way more than the main display that already has the functionality. It's only legacy thinking to have multiple instruments. It's trivial functionality that the main display can easily do. It gives them an advantage over garmin and saves you a lot in the installation. Also the display should be double size. They are missing obvious opportunities to defeat garmin and the others.

Dynon Ducks. It's a disney product :)

280hp...jeez...that's some oomph!! No wonder these are so fast!!

Where’s the Ovation for comparison? 😃

New sub, sorry about all your recent losses. Look forward to the upcoming content.

O1, G1000 free! Very nice… 😃

Love the glass panel. I just got a1967 M20f ... need to upgrade the panel at some point. Yours has me inspired.

Love that panel! Mooney speed and fuel efficiency is awesome!

Nice work Chris! 😃

Tim, Doing the math real quick…. Chris is… 1) cruising over the ground at 159mph… statute miles vs. nautical miles, plus a bit of a head wind… measured using his GPS. 2) Burning 11.1 gph 3) Netting just over 14mpg 4) Not bad mileage compared to an ordinary Ford F-150 that usually cruises at 65mph. 5) Consider how well things will get on the return flight…. When he has a tailwind instead of the headwind… 6) If the pilot really wants to stretch his mpg numbers… he can slow things down to 90knots (approach speed). Nice work Chris! Thanks for sharing… Go O!

For us on the ground 15.6ish mpg?

Curious about your call “Anybody short base to final for 22?” as I saw that if your other video too. Reminds me of the “Any traffic in the area please advise” call which is like using the word “irregardless”. Curious if this was taught in training or something you developed? Asking as I’m a new pilot and wondering if it could help increase safety. My first thought wonders what if I make that first call and step on someone trying to announce their position on short base or final? I watched the Sky Acres video so thanks for posting that. I’m based out of KHFD with an M20J and looking to get out there for some cheap fuel and what I hear is good food. Cheers and safe flying!

background music is too distracting!!

Calling the FSS number listed in Foreflight might get some movement on the clearance delivery. I imagine the FSS can contact approach control to alert them to the issue. Just discovered your channel and working on IFR currency. Thanks for sharing the good and the bad. It's how things go sometimes.

What made you do 2 blade vs 3?

is this before or after bankruptcy due to the laser cut fiasco to save a few dimes?

Its pronounced (Standing) Ovation- OVA-SHUN

22 year pilot, 15 years A&P/ IA. Leaving your aircraft plugged in continuously is a terrible practice. You might be getting away with it flying weekly. For anyone else plan on replacing your cam and lifters before long.

Def would not want to keep that plugged in. That warmer environment will retain more moisture and condense the moisture in the engine that is part of the combustion process

Makes sense. I would do the same. I do the same. It's crazy how many pilots do not take proper care of their aircraft.
