If you do not care about a shop taking responsibility when they screw something up then by all means, go to a certain MSC at Daytona Beach. However, after watching a friend's aircraft get totally screwed on major work, I would not let these people work on my kids bicycle, much less an aircraft.

Good afternoon Mooniacs, I have an AOG situation and am in search of a mag. We need a: Bendix Model S6LN-25P Part # 10-79020-118 I will take anything that is serviceable and ready for install. All of the parts shops are showing a two week wait time. That is giving up too much of my spring time flying. Thank you in advance, Walt

Good Morning Mooniacs, I find myself needing to replace our Concorde RG35. I am curious as to if any of you have tried any of the newer battery brands with better technology. I have always bought Concorde over the years and love their reliability but I am wondering about advancements in battery technology. Thanks, Walt

Good afternoon Fellow Mooniacs, Iam on a parts search. Continential pn 646243 is a fuel line for the no 3 cylinder on the TSIO-360-LB. I am going through annual and our IA says he can not find a replacement. Apparently, ours is cracked. If you have a used or new one on your shelf, please PM me. Thank you in advance, Walt

Awesome turn out of some awesome people. Joey Cole is "The Mooney Master" for organizing such a cool event. Thank you, Joey.

Good morning. Redline on this engine is 40 inches. I usually set it at 38 to 39 for take off and she seems to hold just fine. Neither intercooler nor an automatic wastegate installed. And, as per my engine builder's recommendation, I run ROP all the time. I enrichen it back about 100 degrees south of peak TIT.

Main Turbo in Visalia, Ca. They could not be more helpful and knowledgeable.

Well after talking to the shop that overhauled my turbo last year, they feel like it is a failing pressure relief valve. And have offered to take care of it.

When returning home yesterday, I was cruising at 11,500 feet and had a setting of 31.5 and 2400 rpm. The MP was cycling between 31.7 and 30.5. It seemed to be every 3 to 4 minutes.

Good afternoon, Our engine was overhauled about 9 months ago. In that time I have put about 40 hours on her. I have noticed that once cruise power is set, Usually 75% AT 12,500 feet, I am getting MP variances by as much as .8 inches. And it will cycle back and forth. Does anyone have any thoughts on where to look here?

I have the 830. So it is showing all the time. I didn't notice the voltage in flight but there were no red alarms showing.

Update: Old / Current 3 year old battery shows 12.3 volts on external volt meter. Whereas the JPI voltage indicator was low at 11.7. New Battery on the shelf shows 12.85 Proceeding with solenoid troubleshoot. Also calling JPI regarding the voltage misreading.

Thank you for all of the insights. I need to mention that the low voltage lights were extinguished after start up. The Am meter was in the positive at all times during the flight. There was never a point, at which, either indicator showed a lack of charging. One electrician friend has suggested to check all of the grounds associated with the system. I am also going to have the shop check the alternator and alternator clutch to eliminate those.

I forgot to mention that this is an Energizer Starter, Part No. 646238.

So the same results on a brand new battery do not negate that diagnosis? What about the fact that they could then turn the prop on the old battery when it was reinstalled?
