    Stop Start Stop Here we go again

    I was in a club for a few years with 3 planes, 120 members (70 or so active), and rarely had scheduling issues. If you flew 7-10 hrs you usually made the top 3 for the month. Sw Florida.

    Any tools for helping me set personal IFR minimums?

    Get time with a cfii in actual minimums and don't let them help with radios, etc. Make sure you have a good alternate with much better weather if your destination is close to minimums. Carry extra fueL too.

    Real world cruise speed differences - M20E and C182

    Mooney m20e will get 142-150ktas all day long. It gets close to book speeds unlike some a/c. http://flyblueridgeaviation.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/N3354X-POH.pdf

    M20C vs M20E

    I have about 75 hrs in each and they are pretty similar. The c has a carb, e is fuel injected and runs smoother. Full throttle and 2400 rpms, 6k feet the c was around 135kts and the e is 150kts. If you're really concerned with cruise speeds fly the actual plane first. The older C models...

    My father-in-law flipped out at me for taking my wife up during an Airmet Tango

    If LLWS isn't in the forecast the turbulence airment is almost a joke. Sounds like he's been pushing buttons for too long and is grumpy that you're out having all the fun.

    Building an RV12

    Really, we never heard of any issues with the spars. We started a second kit too, I'll check that out. Wait till you see the AD list that you need to go through. Take a look at it before you install avionics. There is a wiring AD that applies to a Fuse not being wired properly to the elt...

    Best credit card with rewards?

    check out thepointsguy. Chase Ink, Sapphire both good when the bonus is 50,000 or more. The sapphire reserve is good if you will spend $300 in travel (reimbursed). If you spend the points by transferring to partners you get a better value then using them on chase travel portal.

    Good restaurants in/near Oshkosh?

    A good breakfast at the hilton beats most of the food inside the show. Only worth it if you are already in the n40.

    What To Expect At Key West

    Ive crossed the adiz a few times vfr. If you're on flight following they dont mind. Flown direct naples-keyw. If you call ahead they will leave scooters for you at the airport. The best way to get around key west until you're too drunk to operate it!
