Hi Chad, Ketti, and Nathan, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the work you just finished on my Malibu with the TSIO 550C, and 3 blades. I arrived thinking I may have needed some cylinder work on the 720-hour engine. Once we started examining the cylinders, we found worn cylinders, rusted pushrods, pi...

I have used Malibu Aerospace for the last 2 years, after determining that my AMO did not have the required capability to properly service my 2004 Piper Meridian. I was tired of trying to source parts more efficiently myself and continually having our mechanics call the MMOPA maintenance line. After an initial trip...

My 1987 Malibu had already been converted to the 550C engine, but the plane still had major departure issues until I took advantage of Chad Menne's propeller conversion. Flying out of the hot Mid-Atlantic in the summer at gross weight was uncomfortable at best. The 550 engine was of great help, but the two bl...

I converted 62CA to a JetPROP in June-Sept 09 and stopped at Malibu Aerospace on the way home from Spokane. Chad stayed late Friday to check several issues and offered to fly me home to South Bend, IN in his plane, while 62CA stayed there awaiting parts. The staff at Malibu Aerospace is outstanding. They respo...

The cooling mod worked wonders for my 08 Matrix. Unless you know what you're looking for, you won't even notice that the mod was done from a cosmetic standpoint. CHTs dropped by 30-40deg across the board. I think Piper should buy the STC and incorporate it on the line. It's that valuable!

I love my M-5 conversion. I've owned my plane for 6 years. When I got it, I had my 520 rebuilt. As it came time to rebuild it again, I checked out all options. This option made sense on all levels. With 20 plus years of Hindsight, this is what the Malibu wanted to be in the beginning. A little more engine ...

Today I flew back from SJC (San Jose Intl) to FNL (Fort Collins-Loveland) at FL250. My Malibu has the TSIO550 engine mod, it's Hgh-Speed Cruise is 32.5"Hg. In the past, I was never able to run at 32.5" manifold pressure above about FL220: the cylinder head temps were right on the red line on my analog gauge...

Recently, I purchased a 2001 Piper Meridian for use in my business. After going through the aircraft selection and purchase transaction, I can say with total confidence that using Malibu Aerospace was the best decision I made in the process. Chad Menne and the team at Malibu Aerospace are the P46/PA46 type special...

On November 27, 2010, we lost power at FL180 in our 1995 Mirage, the following minutes were filled with descending to 12,000 ft quickly, selecting an airport to glide into in hopes we would not be faced with a fire. Just thinking about this incident brings back uncomfortable memories of the engine oil sliding up t...

LED Lights! The way your LED taxi lights came very handy on my first trip after installation: I was flying into KPDK late in the afternoon, with the sun low on the horizon, directly on my tail. There was oncoming traffic at my 12 o'clock climbing out of KPDK and ATC called him to advise of me. About 3 seconds ...

The plane flew like a charm. I did the 65% 70% and 75% power for an hour each as you suggested. Had to use higher fuel setting than usual to keep CHT's below 380 but it was hot out down south. The CHT's were slightly higher than usual as you mentioned. I couldn't believe the engine on run up and takeoff roll - t...
