Love the option of having these e-bikes/scooters but not so much the larger lithium batteries inside the plane w me. Maybe I’m paranoid but you might store the battery in one of those fire bags and in a cushioned container? Or at least have it within arms reach to deal with it?
My wife and I were just getting ready to depart KCRE when I saw you get the bike out your plane and start pedaling away on it. I told my wife that this is the new bike for flyers. We enjoyed your video. Nice surprise!
Another great video and all that jazz! Finishing my instrument rating next week and really hoping to make the move to ownership to build time for a year. Got my eye on a couple M20's.
Oil temp isn’t usually an issue (I have an oil cooler) usually tops out at 195ish maybe (but that’s where it’s measured so add some for max temp)… CHT will want to break 400F in the climb which is when i start to take action to cool it down. For a Lycoming, anything below 410 is okay.
Been watching your Mooney adventures for a while. What would you say are some notable differences in handling between the Mooney and the Cessna you used to fly besides the increase in TAS?
Oh man, too much to mention in a comment but the Mooney is a lot more to do compared to the Cessna. Variable pitch vs fixed, retracts, airspeed, engine management, etc. Glad I learned on the 150 but I love the Mooney.
@@Tommyflies Thats alot of adjustments to be made but sounds hella cool. How did you learn to fly constant/variable pitch props and how long did it take to get adjusted to that?
@@anthonyhui9891I hired a Mooney specialist to teach me in my plane. Didn’t take long to get used to honestly but I took it slow and was careful not to put myself in situations that were beyond my ability (still am).
I started off in 172’s long ago and watching some of @Tommyflies videos was part of what leaned me towards Mooneys. I’ve had a M20J for about 4 months now and couldn’t be happier! They are fantastic planes! I find them easier to fly overall once you learn the complex part.

Really enjoy your content. Keep em coming!!
welcome to grand strand. I saw my plane on the ramp in ur vid :)
Tommy, what is the furthest you have flown in the Mooney? Good cross country?
What did you like better? Bike or Scooter? Thanks!

lol. “All that Jazz”
Nice job Tommy
Cool, I love my foldable ebike!
What does your oil temp and CHTs look like flying in that heat?
Oil temp isn’t usually an issue (I have an oil cooler) usually tops out at 195ish maybe (but that’s where it’s measured so add some for max temp)… CHT will want to break 400F in the climb which is when i start to take action to cool it down. For a Lycoming, anything below 410 is okay.

The Mooney is much ‘tighter’ too. Pushrods vs cables.
