If anyone is at the airport and can take a few pictures and send them to john@skyportservices.net I would appreciate it. It’s for a friend of mine looking to sell it for a customer. Thanks in advance It’s south of the big hangers on the grass. N195QB Bonanza , it hasn’t flown in a while. I also have a phone number if that’s easier, let me know and I’ll give you the number. Thanks again

The Mooney is a nice airplane on the used market . To build new ones at the price approaching 1000,000 dollars , there is a lot of competition with more utility, used or new. It is a very niche market and in most cases just an expensive toy. I wish them luck and hope they make it , I think it will be very tough, the economy has been very good and still no sales. I hope manufacturing isn’t headed overseas .

Remarkably Bad experience with Avionics shop
quik flite replied to blakealbers's topic in General Mooney Talk
Here in the Northeast We are very fortunate to have the best shops in one spot Weber’s Mooney Service Center. Lancaster Avionics and Sensenich Propeller all at KLNS Lancaster PA It just doesn’t get any better and they are honest ,fair ,courteous and knowledgeable. It’s always a pleasure to do business with all of them. If you are anywhere close I highly recommend it No tax in Pa on aircraft work -
I’ve had both in different airplanes They are both excellent in my opinion

Double Check your Batteries are Secured after Annual
quik flite replied to Mooney_Allegro's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
I have had excellent results with Weber’s at Lancaster Pa a Mooney Service Center , I hope as the older guys retire , they will take the time to show the next generation the things they learned. All maintenance if done properly requires a very smart, knowledgeable and diligent person willing to work fast and cheap (go figure) I hope we can all continue to find good, safe places to get our planes worked on ...anyone can make mistakes, get distracted and forget. Take the time to look things over...especially after maintenance , I must say unless something in that area needed worked on it would be easy to miss. -
Capehart Lifetime Machined Aluminum Oil Filter
quik flite replied to Bob_Belville's topic in General Mooney Talk
I apologize for offering mine for sale when what you really wanted was some real experience. I think you’ll be happy with it ,the MSC I used didn’t mind it at all , but when I did my own oil changes it didn’t save any time ,I had to take it in the shop disassemble it ,inspect it clean it and reassemble and install it . With the regular filter I can install and check the old filter when I get around to it -
Capehart Lifetime Machined Aluminum Oil Filter
quik flite replied to Bob_Belville's topic in General Mooney Talk
I used it for a couple changes but didn’t like cleaning it then assembling it correctly and then always concerned about a leak or the filtration. If I remember correctly it does have magnets in it. I never had any reason for worrying never gave trouble , I have seen similar filters on race engines , I believe it is for ease of inspection for metal and wear particles. -

Try advantage interiors at N71

They need a few good dealers across the country. So people can see the airplanes. With a company this small and desperate for sales dealers would need to be sure the factory does not end up selling direct to the public anyhow in an attempt to keep the extra cash Mooney needs a few dealers and sales people with an incentive to tell people the benefits of there product. Just my opinion

NY/NJ Area Shop Recommendations for Annual
quik flite replied to glenv6's topic in General Mooney Talk
Webers is excellent and fair highly recommend them. Dorm and Steve are both very nice , with different jobs and personalitys. call Dorn and ask with any questions , I usually dealt with Dorn always extremely knowledgeable and super nice to talk to. You will be happy with your choice. Also Lancaster avionics and sensenich propeller in one place. It does not get any better -
Had the same problem , the alternator had an oily film all over inside it. As usual a trip to Webers took care of it. Call Dorn at Webers if you have not done so ,he will be glad to help.

Garmin Aera 500 - Price reduced
quik flite replied to LANCECASPER's topic in Avionics / Parts Classifieds
Do you have everything it came with including a yoke mount, power cable all manuals. I am interested and a quick look online shows a yoke mount comes with the kit. Also how old is it and does it work perfectly? -
Every boat has covers on the battery posts , not sure if they are approved or require anything special, someone who knows may speak up.PROBABLY NOT FOR AIRPLANE USE.

I agree, we are very fortunate to have Webers , Lancaster Avionics and Sensenich Propeller all at one airport, It just does not get any better than that.

I just wanted to let you all know how a great Mooney Service Center does business. I have done business with Webers @ KLNS for years, and a friend of mine who is working on his 1981 or 1982 201 calls and tells me his plane is on jacks and the manual gear extension is hard to use. After talking for a little while, I tell him I think my flap motor was serviced , but I could not remember ever needing to service the gear motor (mine was a later model). He knows I have had Webers doing my maintenance, and does admit that they are very good. He asks if I would call and ask if they might know the problem. I called Dorn who was very helpful and he let me know a little about the gear motor and the rigging and said if there was a problem ,it should not take long to fix and he would be happy to help in any way he could. Before he said goodbye, he let me know of one other thing that may cause the problem, something about only pulling one circuit breaker ,for the gear motor. Well when I called my friend back ,I could tell my friend had done the two circuit breaker pull. The reason I posted this is because, there is a big difference in the maintenance at a fantastic Mooney Service Center and I actually feel bad for calling Webers, when my "friend" may have had no intention of ever using the great service a MSC can provide, for fear they may find something wrong. I can tell you from a few years of ownership, a good Mooney Service Center provides you with a safer, smoother, faster and better resale, airplane and it only cost more if they find something the other shops did not notice. Webers is a Fantastic Mooney Service Center. They are the experts.

Continental Motors and Camguard follow-up
quik flite replied to PTK's topic in Miscellaneous Aviation Talk
PTK , It appears to me you are correct and I think a little bit of , lets see proof , is a good thing. I have used camguard for years, since around 2007. I appreciate your posts and a lot of others who post here so we all can learn a little. One more lesson learned. Now we will see if those couple dollars are well spent. Keep up the good work. I also have met and talked to Ed Kollin at Oshkosh and found him to be very knowledgable and a nice guy to talk to , he may have wanted to get some news out quickly and I can understand that . He has developed and tested his product and is justifiably proud and excited about it. Again, Thanks -
Sounds like your airplane is in great hands, let us know how you like it.
