Thanks all, I've acquired a replacement.

Don, Can you send me a link? I may just buy yours and then have the info put on as a decal as mentioned later in the thread. Thanks!

My autopilot died. "Capacitor C222 has blown" Part 065-0042-02. Looking to buy a replacement with the Form 8130 OR the compatible KC-192 part 065-0042-15. Any leads or ideas? Thanks! Roy Millwood

Thanks I'll check with Darwin and see if I get a response.

I looked at previous threads. Does anyone still sell these visors? TIA

I had 3 good leads for partners. 2 of the 3 had to back out for various reasons. 3rd candidate and I came to an agreement, and I'll be selling the plane outright to him.

Congrats! We still haven't run in to each other at HEG, but I'm sure we will sooner or later! Safe travels!

The crack at the bottom of the windshield- I'm fairly certain it happened sometime during the installation of the new avionics and front panel. I didn't catch it so it's on me. The top cracks are very small and almost not noticeable. I put my hand in the frame for reference.

CB panel is on the right, out of view of the picture

Flyable in the interim?

Buddy flew my plane (Mooney M20K Rocket) yesterday on an Angel Flight mission from east coast of FL to panhandle and back. He said these showed up after flying it. Anybody have any experience with this? My A&P is out of town until Monday and I was just looking for more information about Mooneys and windshield cracks. Nothing really in previous threads that I've seen. I suspect the crack on the lower windshield is from the new panel install last year, and after the install, another shop had to access behind the panel to fix some gremlins. Thoughts on whether the cracks are repairable, or a new windshield is warranted? Is it flyable or an airworthiness issue? Thanks for your thoughts... Stetson20

No bulge on the copilot side, so I don't know- but I'm sure the "institutional knowledge" of the board denizens will come through for me!
