Unfortunately this is becoming a common thread: Looking for an ITT landing Gear Disengage unit. Part 125182A or 40609A, The complete assembly is LA11C2110 or LA11C2114. Will consider Dukes units if you have a complete landing gear motor assembly. We have tried all the usual MooneySpace and Mooney parts suppliers. Tim

May be the same one I posted for sale back in August 2017 (see the ad in the planes for sale section). If so it was located in Logan, Utah at that time. The work was done by the A&P program at Utah State University and was very well done. The new pictures look like some new radios may have been installed but hard to see in the photos.

When was the last time your gear doughnuts were replaced? I have found old ones can contribute to shimmy.

Every time I watch this video the voice in my head is screaming turn left and land on the cross runway. It would have been so much easier.

Both fly very similar. The F is slightly more stable in pitch, which is nice in cruise and landings.

I may have one if you haven't found a replacement yet. I have been traveling. Will be back home about the 18th if you are still looking.

I would check the plugs, but I am +1 on the carb ice. A chunk of ice ingested would have the effect you describe. Sounds like you were in the correct temperature range to produce ice.

Most are exaggerating unless they have major mods. If you review the Mooney test articles standard is 135 knots for a C, about 139 for the F, 140 for the E and 150 for the J at 50 degrees rich. I would love to see proof on a claim for a stock F that can go over 150 knots at 9 gph. Mine is consistent at 139 knots at 9 gph.

Definitely the upper latch not catching. Need to check the adjustment and your technique for closing the door. As part of our check list the door must be pulled and held tightly closed, latch pushed forward until both latches engage, and then we push on the top of the door to confirm the top is latched.

OK, time to get out the popcorn. The internal search engine is limited in Mooneyspace. I like to use Google search with mooneyspace added to your search request. Try: mooneyspace oil recommendation

Llya, When I bought my Mooney it was out of annual and stranded at an airport that was difficult to get a PPI or an annual. If the plane passes your first inspection it is possible to get a ferry permit to move it to a location to get a qualified PPI and annual. Depending on how long it has been out of annual and how recent the last flight time was this might be the best option.

We don't have an MSC in Utah. Many of us have our own mechanics that have taken care of multiple Mooney's for a long time. The one I use has cared for B's to Bravo's for the last 20 years. He is located in Logan, 80 miles north of SLC. PM me if you need contact information. Tim

The classic quote is "I have sold a lot of planes with eBay, but none through eBay". It is cheap advertising, but the deals on planes are done off of eBay.

Please let me know how it worked. Mine started falling apart yesterday. Super glued it back together, but likey won't last long.

Is the title of the thread a Freudian slip? What happens in Nevada, stays in Nevada?

, Can't wait for the pictures.

You can relax your mind, running lean of peak did not hurt your engine. The pressure and temperatures for your engine are lower LOP when you are running less than 65% power at altitude. I fly about 90% of the time at 9 gph at 8500 to 10500 feet. Running LOP does not mean trying to run at Carson numbers, jut more efficiently. I see about 139 knots at 9 gph or 144 at 10.5 gph. This is the difference of 15.4 nm/gal versus 13.8. That amounts to about 5 minutes more on a 300 nm trip, but a savings of about 3 gallons of fuel. Leaning to roughness on a fuel injected engine is not the best way to get LOP. An engine monitor and fuel flow system is much better. I hope you can find the issues and it is not too expensive to repair. Don't beat yourself up over leaning the engine.

We used GLP, order the rear windows for the 76 F, not a newer J 's. They are trimmed slightly different because the J does not use screws to hold the windows like the F. Don't get the windows until a short time before you are ready to do the project. "Green" as in very new windows, are less brittle and can be drilled and trimmed with much less chance of cracking.

Chris - Those are the parts we used, from the 1976 F parts list. It was about $250 for both. From my invoice from Frank Crawford (1/10/2013) Item number Quantity Price each Disc. pct.

No STC required, we did it under a log book notation. There used to be a thread that had a letter from Mooney stating that there was no difference in structural strength. Your mechanic may prefer a 337. I recommend not using the J analogy, but the 1976 F as the basis for comparison. That will allow you to use the same model. We ordered parts directly from Mooney.

I live in Utah at 4500 feet, and fly extensively in the west. I would recommend looking at an E/F rather than the C. The C can be flown well here, but the fuel injection and 20 extra hp are nice to have on very hot summer days. It helps with take-off and clearing high mountain ranges. The ease of leaning at higher altitudes is also a benefit of fuel injection. I owned a C for several years, but when it came time to replace it, I knew I wanted at least an E. We decided with younger children at the time the F was the best fit. Now that the kids are grown, I would think an E would fit our mission profile well.
