Hey, nice Mooney. Funny, I recognized Eddie as well as your airport... small world! I have a J model based at Owens in Columbia- KCUB since 2005. I fly into Summerville every now & then to visit my pilot friend Hans, who owns a Comanche.

[@eyesea123]

Love your channel, I'm learning so much. That was so smart of you to work with the mechanic. I hope your catastrophic issue isn't a biggie and you make it back safely.

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

I know the feeling in forgetting to film the wrapping up. It always seems to happen so quickly. Looking forward to seeing you get your aircraft back safely.

[@vince_cb]

Glad 11W is in good hands, Tom, and happy to hear that you didn't have any surprises!

[@577buttfan]

I wanna hear you rock out on one of those axes bro!!!

[@haidercoversynthpianomusic747]

Good video good aircraft

[@terrymeadows2384]

Eddie is a great guy. He has always been super helpful to me when visiting KDYB.

[@hythesailor]

Such a cool video, Tom. Your videos are such an inspiration to me. I am STILL doing my PPL at the moment as I got to two hours before going solo and then got hit with a big medical bill which has kind of sapped funds for flying training for now, ha! Still, all is good and hopefully I will be able to continue soon. I am very envious of the small airport infrastructure in the US which is far superior to that of the UK. Most of our runways are bumpy old grass strips! I do hope that the Mooney repair doesn't end up costing a fortune. Keep up the great work!

[@yankey4]

NICE brother. I live like in the flight path of Berkeley County Airport. Been a LOT of flights the past few weeks. Thanks for sharing man. I love all to do with Aviation! God Bless..

[@Newberntrains]

Any mechanic who is good will allow an owner assistance as it teaches alot of how it works and how to better maintain the plane

[@Mendo707mx]

Glad to see guitars in the background!

[@Jim_Austin]

This was a good opportunity for you to learn a lot about airplanes in general and yours in particular. You are lucky to have a mechanic that allowed you to participate like that.

[@JamesCampbellPPG]

Tom has an engineering degree, it's his life at stake, and he's the one paying. A mechanic shouldn't have an issue, I wouldn't think. But I dunno.

[@oneninerniner3427]

I think most A&P & IA's have more than enough to do so they don't mind that an owner does some of the busy work of just turning screws removing inspection plates & covers etc.

[@brianpulscher6514]

Yeah, a bit of sticker shock on our first one in the 150. Nothing major, but had to replace some parts and they are pricey for sure. We also had to pull the interior to do some inspection there.

[@oneninerniner3427]

Starter huh? Bummer!

[@MikeSparamotor]

Sorry to hear the plane is now grounded but was glad to hear that the Mooney stuck in the power lines wasn't you lol

[@choppergirl]

General Aviation pilots follow the Rules Fully Aerobatic Quadcopter Fighter Pilots break them.

[@glennwatson]

Fun video. I guess you jinxed the aircraft by saying a super easy annual hence the grounding. Hope lesson learnt. In all seriousness hope the repair goes smoothly.

[@rickwetzel6643]

Man, what brand 12 string hanging on the wall .?

[@latgringo3884]

What was the green oil filter change canal / no drip thing called? Changing the oil on my Cherokee 235 is a beating. Oil everywhere!

[@darrylday30]

Holy fork I’m ordering one of those right now.

[@JamesCampbellPPG]

Cool L/J cut at @10:55, man.

[@Tommyflies]

Thanks man 🤙

[@DWBurns]

I know you have the same prop AD as I on my Arrow. What are your thoughts, keep doing 100 hour prop inspections, new hub for $3,000-$5,000? Or are you goin to go big with a 3 blander for $15,000? What was you compressions?

[@Tommyflies]

Considering a new hub but haven’t decided. Comps where 79, 78, 78, 72

[@DWBurns]

You and I are thinking the same. Nice compression. Mine goes if for annual on January 18-20. My last annual and first real one my plane had in 17 years was $39,600, no engine just a ADSB xponder and LED lights all around. And catching up on AD’s that showed completed.

[@reallife649]

where is videos with paragliders which I subscribed for?)

[@SeanAllocca]

What kind of savings to you get when you do most of the work? I imagine 40-50% less than not helping.

[@MikeSparamotor]

I am a contractor and I charge more if the owner helps 😂

[@Tommyflies]

Well.. the Mooney is broken now so maybe soon! Haha
