Crossing the USA in a Mooney M20J. Part 1 of 2: Westbound 

Thanks for the nice comments, but I cannot take the thanks for my service. A NYPD Aviation Lt. gave me the shirt. We did some paint work on their heli. We have donated work to local law enforcement though!

i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any help you can give me.

@Grayson Rocco Instablaster :)

@Ishaan Andrew thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Ishaan Andrew it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account :D

@Grayson Rocco you are welcome xD

Other than the Ovation.

PilotFun101 please tell me what kind of cruise speed you get and what GPH. Thank you

Left me ears bleeding!

One of our overnights on the way back is Cheyenne. So the next video will have a takeoff and landing there. Cheyenne was the highest altitude max gross takeoff we had. Takeoff roll was longest of the trip.

Naw - it's ALL good ....

Great video but I’d recommend losing the picture taking sound effect. Thanks for posting!

It’s called a Neutral Density Filter or “ND Filter”

I am doing the same with my X-plane11 , How do you like MSFS?

There is UV and thermal reduction in the windows, I don’t believe I ever have worn sunscreen in the plane unless I already had it on. I don’t think I’ve ever worn sunscreen in my car either if I am at driving with the windows up in the air condition.

It’s a 1987 205 SE. Which is a modified 201. See the link in the description for more detail.

No power flow, yes Gami’s. 160 kts true at altitude 50° ROP I cruise 24” at 2400 rpm. Full takeoff power is 2700 rpm.

Thanks, what improvement did you get from Gami ? My mechanic said, you dont need it on my io360

Honestly I don’t know. When I did the Avionics that has the Engine Info System, I decided to just do it figuring it would be more precise. I didn’t own it long enough or have the precision prior to the upgrade to compare.

I see.. Thank you. Have you though about putting a power flow on your Mooney? Some say it wouldn't change much on a J, but on the C or F Mooney it does alot!

Yes we did the panel. About $100k

For my videos it’s editing. The primary audio track is the headsets. Then I overlay the engine sound in the background at a reduced audio level.

@@RMAG I think you'll agree that your engine sounds very nice. It just purrrs.

Considered it but left it due to weight restrictions. Contemplating if we had to do a hot, high altitude full fuel takeoff. Although we planned conservative airports with long runways.

Because I did not film this with RU-vid viewers in mind, I filmed it for my Dad and my posterity. Sharing with RU-vid was an afterthought.

Because he's not national geographic. It appears to be a.video for themselves, not everyone else's entertainment. ;)

160 kts true

?

@@RMAG .. Walk around .. engine.. mods.. features.. Etc..

No 19 is right, it’s actually very efficient for an airplane. The GPH is approx 10 GPH depending on altitude, temp, and power settings.

@@RMAG okay I wasn't thinking math through very carefully lol. Thanks

Because it was about the fun journey; not the destination. We have other aircraft that fly high that are much faster if we needed to get there quickly. See 57:20

Maybe they wanted the fun of the journey and not the speed to destination. It's like taking old Rt66 instead of I40. For a one time fun trip I would do what they did.

We have a Little John Pilot Urinal jug to pee in. If you have to poop, you do it when you land.

I agree wholeheartedly, especially that camera behind me that I can't even see. That one in particular often causes spontaneous complete loss of flight controls.

Rmag haha

@@RMAG Heh heh

I think that since you were not in the cockpit and have absolutely NO idea how busy it actually was... you could lose your silly comment. ;)
