    More likely that someone made an arithmetic error 20 or 30 years ago.

    My biggest problem is usually the nut at the control knob end.

    I agree with Skip. This seems like a solution looking for a problem.

    Byron’s a straight shooter. If nothing else pans out, I’d have him do it, just ask that a different mechanic do the inspection (maybe even Byron himself, if he has time, after one of his guys opens it up).

    It was 20 years ago, but I was always very impressed with Triad. Also did props.

    Yes, but depending on the aircraft installation, it may need a source of fuel pressure before it will run. The POH should explain its use.

    If it doesn’t “turn on”, it’s possible that the reset switch has to be pushed. That’s the little red button to the right of your picture with a couple of wires going to it.

    I didn’t know that- thanks. My C’s boot has metal reinforcement, so I assumed the E/F did also. I think this would certainly qualify for installation under the new MOSAIC rules if the “real” part wasn’t available. I would certainly consider it if I owned an E/F. When will you begin work for the carbureted B/C/D/G intakes?
  12. Andy95W
    That certainly looks good! Could you embed a wire in the ribs to prevent collapse, like the original has? My biggest fear would be inadvertent flight into icing conditions that ices over the air filter- which then collapses the ductwork which kills the engine.

    If you have a Johnson bar, you will definitely want the inertial reel and push button release mechanism from Alpha.

    I use this one: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/lgpages/aero_06-03303.php 70° stem and uses the air-stop butyl rubber. I don’t use the dust cover hub cap anymore, but the valve stem looks like it should fit nicely under it.

    The M20 stands for Al Mooney’s 20th design. It is the straight M20 with 150 HP engine and wood wings and tail. The M20A was called the Mark 20, it was after Al Mooney sold the company. It was an M20 with 180HP engine. The M20B was called the Mark 21, it was a Mark 20, but with all metal wings and tail. They improved it slightly and made it the M20C, but still called it the Mark 21. In 1964, they put a 200HP fuel injected engine onto a Mark 21. They called it the Super 21 (obviously!) That’s the M20E. In 1966/67, they stretched the fuselage 10” and called it the Executive 21. That’s an M20F. In 1968, they decided to give them Texas-sounding names, and that’s when they called the M20C the Ranger, M20E the Chaparral, and the M20F stayed the Executive.

    And I completely agree with Jim and Don as well- I really enjoyed my MAPA membership and would still be a member if they were functional. And I miss seeing Trey and Lela in person at OSH or in the offices they used to have in San Antonio. I really like hammdo’s idea. Scan the old magazines into PDFs and make them available for a nominal fee to download.

    I don’t agree, I think it has been a dying commodity for the past 5 years. 10 years ago, here at MooneySpace, people talked about their MAPA memberships in the same breath as their AOPA and EAA memberships. That hasn’t been the case in the past 5 years. MAPA has been replaced, like so many other outlets, by free stuff on the internet. Questions about your Mooney? Go to MooneySpace for free. Want a Mooney magazine? Get the Mooney Flyer for free. Trey and Lela ran a good organization, but I think they saw the handwriting on the wall and sold before it was too late.

    Thanks! Learn something new every day…

    Hi @bcg. Please post your reference from the G5 installation manual for this. I haven’t been able to find it. I installed my G5s about 4 years ago and only connected it to my GPS175. I never saw that restriction when I installed it. I was thinking of connecting it to a NAV source also but won’t if it’s not allowed. Thanks!

    You said this twice and I don’t think I understand. My Lightspeed has a pushbutton that keeps the input volume constant regardless of intercom or radio traffic. I do wish I could set it once instead every flight. I don’t normally listen to music but I do have my headset connected to my Garmin audio that warns me of traffic and terrain.

    @slowflyin- thanks for posting. I’m close to buying the Bob Fields seal. A few questions if you have time: -How was the installation? Easy/straightforward? -What adhesive is used to install it? -Where did you mount your bulb? - How effective is it inflated, and is it still somewhat quiet if you forget? Or is it so loud that you can’t forget to inflate it? Thanks!
