  1. I bought a new one from Precision Propellor Service in Boise last year. Was about 3 AMU as I recall, didn't strike me as too outrageous.
  2. The friction lock is good, in climb the rpms are still coming back even with the lever full forward almost like the prop was on the stop and it was running out of power.
  3. Hello all I own a 75F and at takeoff with prop full forward and leaned for max power I am still only getting 2660 (should be 2700). 24-25" mp indicated. As I climb out that rpm is decaying to where I'm only making 2600 or less. My home field is at 4500'. Prop governor is new as is prop cable. Prop has recent overhaul. Engine only has about 120 since OH. Any thoughts on what this could be?
  4. Haven't got the final bill yet but was told to expect about 3.5k. But that was also nine months ago. We shall see...
  5. Unfortunately ended up not being able to use the used bracket. The holes were just far enough out thar upsizing them wasn't an option. Had to wait for Mooney to make it for me, which ended up taking 9 months. Just got the part last week, still not airworthy yet.
  6. I have been talking with David, thanks. I would say the odds of all the holes lining up are probably close to zero given the hand made nature of our planes, however we should be able to modify it to fit somehow.
  7. I sent them an email and have yet to get a response...I imagine it isn't much more than a skeleton crew down there.
  8. Tried every salvage yard out there no one is willing to part [emoji38]with it. Our suspicion is that the gear was rigged incorrectly and it fatigued that bracket over time. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk
  9. Notice the failure point on the left end. Been chasing this part for 6 months now. Mooney keeps telling me they're working on it but can't provide an estimate for completion. PN 950099-001 Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk
  10. Does anyone have a source on technical schematics for metal work in the F model? Specifically my mechanic is trying to fabricate a landing gear bracket but the details in the IPC leave something to be desired. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

  11. Sent him a pm already, waiting to hear back thanks
  12. Aside from the obvious failure what makes you say that? We did have a suspicion that the gear was rigged too tight but our mechanic couldn't find anything obviously wrong until this happened.
  13. Here's a pic of the failed one. I'm unfamiliar with IPC is that another pn#?
  14. Hello all We recently suffered a failure of a landing gear bracket (pn#950099-001) for our 75F and have been unable to source a new one. Trying to get one from Mooney and they can't even tell me when they could ship it. I've tried the usual subjects but does anyone have any recommendations on where I might be able to source one? Being grounded for months is no good.
  15. Day job is 747 Captain for an ACMI company but the real fun is flying my Mooney.
