    Especially if you’re going to be flying IFR, get a G5 or GI275. I have been flying with a G5 HSI now for a few months, and I don’t see any reason to get the fancier model. If you have the money for it, get the G5 AI as well. Then you can delete your vacuum system, and you will have full attitude redundancy.

    My expertise is more in the way of writing checks than anything else, but here’s my advice: having seen some awful DIY touchups, find a shop to do it for you.

    GA has been "dying" for 50 years. I guess all the young folks buying airplanes didn't get the news.

    Downtown or Spirit of St. Louis are very GA friendly. We’ve used both, but mostly KCPS. It’s very easy to get into the city from there.

    Why not have Duncan install it? I’m not sure many shops would be enthusiastic about installing a full autopilot system purchased elsewhere.

    You are very lucky indeed. That part is obsolete and should have been updated a long time ago. Replace it with Part No. 660051-005. "Engine Control Rod End Swivel Joint." I bought mine from Maxwell.

    You might find that your insurance premiums go down a bit as you get more recent retract time.

    McFarlane.

    Do you have engine analysis data to share?

    Get an A&P to do the repair using patches.

    Your friend needs to get his Mooney into a competent shop. This video show normal function. It works the same way in the air, assuming you're not trying to raise the gear over 90 mph, in which case it's a little more difficult.

    If a company provides a free service, you are the product. Usually.

    To my cynical eye it appears to be a data-gathering exercise in preparation for a new business for them.

    Some people just enjoy filing lawsuits. https://casetext.com/case/iceberg-v-king-cnty-superior-court-1 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-waed-2_22-cv-00332/USCOURTS-waed-2_22-cv-00332-0 https://trellis.law/case/53061/24-2-08710-31/scott-iceberg-vs-grandview-management-services-inc https://case-law.vlex.com/vid/iceberg-v-martin-case-885597779 https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/51609048/Iceberg_v_Brookstone_Landscape__Design_LLC_et_al https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20210426j05

    That's fast. Must be light and well-rigged.

    Check the left magneto to see if the retard points are working properly. We recently had this problem during an annual and there was a broken part in the mag preventing the points from closing. The mag was 400 hours post IRAN.
  17. Rwsavory
    Yes.
  18. Rwsavory
    Should make it go a lot faster.

    You will need an IFR GPS unit to do any useful instrument flying outside of training. And for all practical purposes, you really need to have training on that as well.

    KNEW is your best bet. Find a place to stay within walking distance of the museum so that you don’t have to mess with a rental car. Flight Line can arrange transportation for you.

    Looks like some good, recent maintenance. ADSB-Out installed 2023 (a plus!), but no flights recorded since then per FlightAware. 38 hours of tach time between 2018 and 2023.
  23. Rwsavory
    Plus 3 months (minimum) to get a shop opening, plus a month in the shop, plus 5-10k for the problems they find, wiring, static system, antennas, etc.
  24. Rwsavory
    That instrument panel has neglect and disinterest written all over it.

    Find a mechanic experienced with wood construction to do a pre purchase inspection. Have them review the logs as well.
