Be glad you were not around north of dfw, denton area a 6pm denton airport received 75 mph winds in front of a storm and wreaked some parked planes. Our runway was closed this weekend for resurfacing and i almost preposition my plane to denton so glad i did not! https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/hangar-multiple-airplanes-damaged-storms-in-denton-officials-say/287-01451fe0-02de-4393-bef4-95d8b86c9f9a

Fair enough. Just frustrated. Sorry Eric

I went around looking for some first-hand experiences with 100R. This thread has some mildly interesting feedback, including the apparent fact that the Swift fuel uses no aromatics (which I guess is the source of most of the materials incompatibility issues with G100UL). https://old.reddit.com/r/flying/comments/1h3zdfy/100r_smells_weird/ At this point, “different from G100UL” seems like a key measure of success. Both for certification and formulation.

Thank you

yes! do you have a link for the stl file? thank you!

Mine has a speaker, and two sonalert (gear and stall). The front is hard wired and the plug for the rear lights.

I just dropped my plane off at Barber aviation at KMAE at the recommendation of a friend that owns a bonanza. I'll have to report back on how it goes, he says they do great work, just not fast work, so we'll see. The owner/AP seems like a good guy though and they have a decent sized space.

you are underestimating the barriers to entry

I am so asking for one for christmas when my J arrives.

I would not know where to start on such a search. I'm not sure such even exists. Having said that, I would speculate that many of the ground up restorations were done without benefit of plans, or instructions.

You mean this? It has fans and a power pocket for voltage converter.

Near as I can tell, fuel tank access panels are pn 210099-1. Same part number top and bottom access panels. Same part number in the mid-60s IPC, so there should be some available through the salvage yards, for sure.

Nice success story! Who says you can't get field approvals?

Hard to know how many new topics and posts there are each day, but whatever the number, most people cannot read them all. So if you want to get Jerry's attention, give him a ping like this @Jerry Pressley. He will get a notification. Other posts above also suggest sending him an SMS message.

Not great but that's a story for another time. Still trying to get it home. Also in the headliner I saw those pics on first post. Did they show where the horns and speaker and two lights go? That's all I saw on the cannon plug was 2horns 2 lights and a speaker. Did I get that right?

All true, and it’s not good for ga, I agree. However, if nobody else can enter the market and charge a lower price, then they must be charging the “right” price. We can complain, but what is the solution? Price fixing won’t work either. If it gets high enough, someone will enter unless ga is dead by then.

Hadn't crossed my mind, but that would indeed solve the problem. Any idea on the part numbers I'd need? I've got an old parts manual, but it's kinda useless

not sure why mechanics don't do this.... Do they think we don't notice?

We have had great luck with Jeff at Norcal Aviation located in Reid Hillview (krhv). We have a M20R. I know he does a number of other Mooney's at the airport as well. We've used them for 2 years and been really happy.

Hangtown Aviation in Placerville (PVF). Brandon is honest. He repaired fuselage tubes under the pilot’s window on a really nice J model. It was perfect. LIncoln Skyways (LHM) has worked on Mooney’s, but I’ve heard they can be pricey.

I'm based at Watsonville KWVI and fortunate to have United Flight Services there. Full service shop, owner/IA really knows Mooneys. Look them up and give them a call. You can mention my name. Ken Chambers

Hi Jerry, Do you have any F interior plastic ? Andrea

Can you post a copy of your approved 337?

Hi Everyone - Figure i would ask here first - has anyone designed or found plans for a 3d printed yoke mount for an ipad mini? Was looking at the ones for sale - and want sometime light, with a fan, that just fits. Might just design one - but hoping someone already has! Thanks in advance
