  1. Yup, both tanks were looked at and had some preventive sealing applied. I’m using Scheme Designers to help in developing a good layout. I should have something from them in three weeks or so.
  2. Received word from my MX shop that they will fit me in prior to paint. All worked out after all. Thanks to all replies
  3. Hi Don, Glad this post is making the rounds again. If you are still making them or have a pair handy, I would appreciate it. I have a 1997 M20J. Thanks Angelos
  4. They will have the plane for three months while I’m out of the country, that’s why I’m considering doing the annual at the same time. I just haven’t heard or read anything about their maintenance operation, plenty on their painting.
  5. I have a reservation in early May for a paint job at Hawk Aircraft Services. My Annual is due by end of May. Thinking of having them do the annual while they have the airplane, less down time. Has anyone used them for an annual? Thanks
  6. On the way back to Melbourne from Marathon. Beautiful evening.
  7. I had to have the maintenance shop change the plugs, but I was right there ready for the next time.
  8. I have Tempest Fine Wire. Thank you all for the advice.
  9. During Annual I was informed they performing as required, and since then I’ve been having starting issues. So…
  10. First time changing the plugs on my 1997 J, anything special I need to know?
  11. Mags were removed and sent back to the shop that rebuild them. Received them yesterday and were reinstalled. I was told that “brushes” were changed out on the starting mag. Airplane started up right away, and I turned it off and waited various time lengths for restarts. All went well. Question, Is a 90 to 100 RPM drop acceptable for rebuilt mags?
  12. The mags were taken off during the annual and sent away for the 500 inspection, then reinstalled. Same mechanic did the work. They were sent to Maxwells Magnetos, Palm Coast FL
  13. Tried to do some trouble shooting today, couldn’t even start the engine. Normal, hot, even flooded start procedures would not work. It would turn over, cough like starting a few times, never actually starting. Really frustrated, memories from when first bought it.
  14. Nope, definitely not acceptable even though it’s within POH margins. Sounds like it they will be going back to the shop. Thanks
  15. Can a MX shop check both internal and external timing, or does it have to go back to the shop for internal timing adjustment?
