    What do you think about this plane (Old wood wing Mooney)?

    Hi Dave, The report that I had run across said that it landed gear up which started a fire (I found it a month or so ago when this plane first appeared on Craigslist), but not I'm looking for it and can't find it. At one time I went through the list of M20s and googled them all. Now I'm...

    Blacked Out

    I work in the film industry and my own DVD distribution business has come to an almost complete halt, but I would be daft to blame it on piracy. Piracy takes some money out of our pockets, but the amount really is a small one. Where we have lost it is that everything is moving online and the...

    What would it cost

    Looks to me like there are enough steam guages to put a panel together, the Blue Mountain stuff might be more trouble than it's worth. Firewall back will depend heavily on your engine choice. If I were doing it, I could complete it for less than 10k more (but I wouldn't pay more than 10k total...
