Call the manufacturer and see if they will repair yours.

What is the AP/IA comfortable signing off on is the best answer. We used to run high amperage solenoids to switch the power to high amperage radios. The metal cans would fail at a higher rate than the black plastic ones.

No liability if- "adjusted landing gear preloads to factory specifications per maint manual section xxxx" I'll bet I could check 10 Mooneys and find the gear or elevator settings wrong on 50% of them.

How is the safety wire secured between the gaps? Just twisted? Do you have any pictures?

While people that don't know call everything a solenoid. In reality a solenoid uses electrical force into physical motion. Starter (what ingages with ring gear) is a solenoid.

A '64 C model I worked on several years ago had this same problem. Turned out to be the master switch itself.

@Rsmithref +1 MKC is a great airport to fly into. No tiedown fees at City Parking over by the self serve fuel pumps. You can call Avis MKC 816/931-1039 and they will drop off a car to Atlantic and you can walk around the corner to pick it up. Last time I was there airports were landing south and coming from west I flew right over midfield MCI, then turned south for a straight in Rwy 19 looking right at downtown.

Because taking over an existing lease with 20 years remaining and the availability of equipment in place is a whole lot better than auctioning off said equipment. Not sure how LASAR fits into that possibility but it is at least hopeful.

Does anyone know where to find a pressure switch? PN 880013-505 All of the normal / listed sources are 'sold out'. Are there any replacement systems to explore? Thanks, Alec

Agree, I love the 900 in my plane.

I don't know why you feel better. The "Aviation Property Network" posting "For Lease" is current. Look at the post - it says "2025 Copyright". They just happened to use an old PowerPoint slide pack from one of the many times that Kerrville County/City has needed to worry about Mooney as a tenant.

My home town had an old fruit of The loom factory with about 500k sqft. When the textile industry left there were no takers. it cost the city about 800k a year to do the bare minimum in maintenance. they were so desperate for someone to take it they offered huge incentives hoping someone would at least cover the expenses. it is not cheap to maintain that size facility.

That makes me feel a lot better! (Glad I didn't see it back in 2019)

XM weather will give you the METAR for any airport and the FT.

Why do you want to go to MCI? MKC is right in town and they have cheap gas. I have been there twice once in 1995 and again in 2001. It was OK back then.

Headed to Kansas City this Friday 9/19/25, any recommendations for parking? Preferably MCI, I have not flown in there before, so am unfamiliar. Thanks

I typed Lasar, my IPad changed it to Laser. It actually did it again while typing this. I will try to proofread my posts better before I hit Submit.

Kerrville had the Annual Joint Airport Board meeting on August 20, 2025. One week later on August 27 they had an Airport Board "Special Called" meeting. Events • Agendas and Minutes - Kerrville, Texas • CivicClerk Tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM there is another Joint Airport Board meeting which is open to the Public. Can someone in the Kerrville area attend and find out what is going on? Kerrville-Kerr County Joint Airport Board Meeting • Agendas and Minutes - Kerrville, Texas • CivicClerk

If we are going somewhere far it does make sense to go to 15-17k however my local flights 200 or under I stay at 6-8k. What do most Bravo drivers get for TAS under 10k?

If eBay didn't charge so much commission, I'd buy this thing and list it there. This is a great price for a great engine monitor. IIRC when I bought this same system for my J a couple of years ago it cost closer to 6 AMU's. Somebody buy this! It's primary for everything. You can take out all your old analog fuel gauges, tach, and MP.

I'm curious why you recommend those two, I see no specs on those links. so while yes, they 'look' the same, without specs how can you compare? I know other people have probably already done that, but other than mounting brackets, if the specs are the same but one is 1/4 the price...... it would be nice not to have to remount it but that's not worth the extra price to me. BUT, if that's simply the better choice, then that's what I'd go with. the one I listed is listed as the pma replacement for the cutler hammer according to lamar.

Sadly, that 'brochure' looks a whole lot like what industrial auction houses publish before an asset sale. While Mooney has risen from ashes countless times, if the equipment gets auctioned off, it may well be the end. I fervently hope that is not the case.

Same part number, why wouldn’t that work?
