Folks, about 6 months ago a member emailed me asking if I had a prop hub, I finally found it, he can have it for free if he is still around and needs it. also have the rubber part in front of the carb box (goes to cowl) for an m20a (it's new). mike at 514-620-4900 mtl

Folks, I installed a 2nd radio in my old m20a, it's a king ky97a I have no manuals with it, searched internet and bendix king web site , no luck, I am unable to get channel 122.775 I can get only 122.77, I tried to pull the little knob out but cannot get the '5' is this radio too old, also how do I adjust the squelch. thanks for ány' answers. Mike.

Folks, got an old C and on a budget, my com 2 is an old garmin gps with com(no map), I want to remove it and put in my handhelp 296. I bought the adapter for $100.00 , I think I can just cut the wires from it to the unit that switches radios/speakers, use the power wire and bolt in the adapter. has anyone installed this type of modification? is it harder to read/use the small gps in the middle? I have a good icom handhelp as my backup radio, no ifr flying, and no problem with my AME, in Canada we get away with murder on our planes. Thanks Mike.

attached pics at home, too far to drive for a car/plane pic..but enjoy, all 3 rebuilt, tooo may toys now..

Folks, the insurance has paid me for my m20a, now it's up for salvage bids, the engine has a total time of 535 hours from 1986, if I won bid what can I expect to sell engine for?, I will have the logs with it, tips were bent about 3 inches in, the front wheel saved most of the prop. is thereany market for a prop strike engine? Thanks Mike.

sold to Ron, a few days ago. Mike.

Hi, I would take $100.00 plus shipping if u want the rigging tools. Mike.

I have them both, make on offer to autoalain@yahoo.ca

Folks, after total loss of mooney I am putting stuff on ebay, cannot finds any add's for the tool to adjust the landing gear, how much are these 2 tools worth, is it a waste of time to put on ebay?

Hi, I have a perfect on for sale $130.00 Mike autoalain@yahooo.ca 514-620-4900

Thanks for comments, what really pisses me off is the error in winds forecast, at 7am when I checked the weather was 6 klms from the SW, forecast for the next 6 hours was 8 klm again from the SW. well coming in on final i was surprised to have 25 klms from the north, direct x wind, should I have gone somewhere else, yes, pilot error, yes. wind shear yes, ashamed, yes. after 500 hours on her I still made some bad decisions. Mike.

Insurance guys, say total loss, adjuster suggested I make a bid, it's back in my hanger, I wonder if a $1.00 would be too high. AHHH. engine has 510 hours on it.

Well, my c-frlv just went to plane heaven, winds picked up badly on way home, weather man said 6 knots sw, well came in to land and they were 20 knots from north west, I knew it ws a little much to try and land but onroute I heard a different noise that sounded like an exhaust leak and was worried about fire, so wanted on the ground soon, about 200 feet from touchdown the wind shifted about 40 degrees, so hard that my passenger hit his head on the roof, the plane sank very fast, tried to pull back but landing gear collasped r/h side, I had a new partner with me and he was watching my speed like I was, I was at 85 200 feet from the number, but landed, or touched down I should say 100 feet from the numbers, it sank like a lead ballon, rear tank was empty, I do not know why it dropped so dam fast, well we walked away, after about a 500 foot slide, solid plane (was). now just trying to get the sick felling out of my gut. pics to come. Mike.

Hi, I'm asking a big favor, I was unable to get a copy of stc for the laser cowl mod, my AME in canada would accept just a copy of stc and he would sign it off, I bought a complete m20c with no logs and just need this copy, would there be any chance you could send me a copy? Thanks Mike in montreal.

Hi Jim, yes I have 2 of them, also have the rubber part in front, $100.00 and in nice shape, autoalain@yahoo.ca or call 514-620-4900

My m20a with the guppy mouth, got a new cowl with the laser kit to make it smaller opening, so how would one get the paperwork (STC I guess)? another question the oil cooler on the new cowl has a back plate about 2 inches back of the fins, same size as the oil cooler, my m20a has no plate, what does it do? should I add it on the my present oil cooler.

Folks, we had to cut the wing in half, only way it would fit in truck, she is now sitting in storage at the museum in st ann de bellevue. yep we truck all the planes in, no runway. have a look at our website, we are 40 working members, and everything has been donated to us, no government help at all, just a love of planes. www.cahc-ccpa.com

Folks, here are a few pics of the dismantel of a nice m20c in montreal, real shame. if anyone needs some parts let me know.

Hi, not an electic gear, and YES will have a few pics in a few days when the guy downloads them for me. Mike in montreal. AND a question for you guys, the lower cowl had a part added to it to make the opening smaller, looks professional part, should I put this part on my m20a with the guppy mouth, what does it do? speed? cooling?

Well folks, 3rd time I've cut up mooney, breaks my heart to take a saw to them, the owner had a tear, he was told it had to go this week, so no choice, all the parts are in the museum stock, no engine though, it sat for 2 years in the grass. If you guys require something in Canada (montreal) let me know, and still looking for a muffler for my 20a ( it has 2 mufflers on this model) Mike. www.cahc-ccpa.com

Rob, make 'em, so darn easy, put your old over a new sheet and drill away. MIke.

Hi, m20a 1959, I have added a pic, if you need any parts I have a bin full of stuff. Mike 514-620-4900

1st. Thanks to both members here, Dash/gauge plastic covers sent to Mike, they are great, thank you, and DG at a very good price, and one of these guys included prop covers(not sure who). so now, I will pass on to others some parts I have (just pay shipping), if any of you guys need parts for m20a/b/c I have taken apart an m20a 1959 and have tons of parts, let me know what you need. Mike in montreal, of course no 'yellow tag', parts as is. Mike.

Hi, if this is the one that was redone at corwall a few years ago, I've seen it, the owner put in lots of $$$$ on that bird, you will be a lucky guy, I own the white/green at St Lazar in a hanger, m20a that I rebuilt in 1995. I know mooney's very very well, good luck on your purchase, and it's probably worth every cent. it's beautiful. Mike c-flrv

Folks, I had a gear up in year 2000, went to lower my johnson bar and it broke at very bottom due to rust, my AME never removed boot to check at annual, he said it was not on his mooney annual check list, so if u have some rust underneath maybe have a real good look if u have a manual gear system.
