Thank you for your interest in our amazing planes, Larry! I’ll bump your request up the chain to get the word out to everyone. You’ll get some great stories.

Sedona is ON Hans! I hope to see you again this year. You’re becoming more of a regular than some of the owners, so you NEED to bite the bullet and buy one of these great planes. Mr. Lyon’s Red Menace was just added to the for sale section of the website…

The post for the fly in is making its rounds for edits and should go live tomorrow.

Welcome Andy. I took am glad that Flip’s plane is in good hands. I hope that you can make it to Sedona to meet some of your new family in September.

Your trim indicator needle should have full travel up and down the full range of the dial. I do this occasionally just to make sure it stays limbered up. It is very minimal travel with each twist,…[Read more]

Hello Mark! Hope to see you in Sedona, buddy. If Tommy T. Didn’t fix you up MAOA’s own President Mr. Ross Warner has everything that you need. He did a good deed and bought a huge stash of all types of placarding form a former owner’s estate (can’t remember the details) who’d had them printed up. All great/original quality.

Hey Dan,

Work on Jamon Pruitt. Think he’s going. Only question would be ability to take 3 with AZ density altitude in September…

Windows that are thicker than standard are also heavier, which is likely why there’s an issue with the FAA.

Code 4, disregard my post – I have ‘particular’/thorough wrench and IA and that’s great – however, since I posted this, I’ve again realized, a tail boot for our OTW is rarely available. Although I do fly off grass, I just do a thorough pre-flight focused especially on the tail wheel area. It’s grear to have particular mechanics by the way!

Global made a presentation at last year’s fly-in in FL. They hired a market specialist to actively search for a buyer. Their plan was to keep all of the assets (TC, fixtures, parts, M400, and 2918T) together as a package sale. If they were not able to sell the entire package, Nin George said they would contact our Association prior to d…[Read more]

Mark,

I believe I have one in my stash of parts. I’ll check next trip to my hangar in a week or so. Do you need them for the mains as well? I’ll let you know what I find …

Have you asked Joan Diver about them?

DIck,

Did you get your boot?

R, Tom

Thomas,

I’m not familiar with a noise certificate being issued for the M200, but Marv Rogge had to complete noise testing when he installed the IO-550 with a 2 bladed prop on his aircraft. He or Steve Bauman may be able to answer if a “stock” certificate exists.

Mark,

Sounds like your elevator trim is now correctly rigged. It should require 4 half turns (2 full turns) from full nose down to set at take-off position.

VR, Tom
