  1. There you go. Do you miss my smiling face. LOL
  2. I was luck. I ended up working at that Mooney Service center and just walked over to the parts bin and grabbed them. Wish I was still there. Ended up moving across the country to be near family.
  3. I did mine with everything still in the panel. Having fingers like ET helps, but it really wasn't all that hard. The hardest part was putting the micro switch back on the throttle cable.
  4. Now is the time to replace them. Yes it is possible, I did mine last year. You have to do some of it by braile with your head in the passanger foot well but it can be done in an afternoon.
  5. That sucks. Mine broke at the other end last year. Wait till you get the price?
  6. Great idea, can you please send me the link.
  7. Very nice story...Ive had many dealings with the mennonites. All have been genuine and honest. I sometimes wonder who has the better lifestyle with as crazy and hectic ours can be.
  8. You got me beat.. mine is a 1961 serial number 2040
  9. I like it. just don't get one of Marauder's girls for the art....the cowl won't be big enough. LOL
  10. Try Canada. Your dollar goes a lot farther up here. My local MSC (Tri City Aero) does a great job at maintianing quite a few Mooneys. I highly recommend them to anyone.
  11. Would have loved to have mine lazer etched but will have to live with the labels for now.
  12. I have a job in aviation. That's why I have to do this myself. On what we make, can't afford to pay anybody.LOL
  13. I was going to use a label maker or Letraset (showing my age). The panel is pretty basic but cost me less than a hundred bucks so far (and a lot of time). Old panel was a terrible mess and all chopped up. Didn't get to work on her this weekend due to family commitments (gotta keep the wife happy. LOL) Hope to get back at it this week.
  14. It is the original ARC unit installed in 1962. Still works. Pretty basic but fine for a VFR aircraft.
  15. y latest project on the old girl is to install a new panel. The old left side was the shot gun style and was original form 1962. The right side had been butchered a few times over the years and looked REAL ugly. I removed ALL of the old panel back to the tube frame work. Layed out the new one in auto cad and cut it out of .063 aluminum. Bent the side return into the left side panel. Here are a few shots of the project so far.
  16. Go for the higher timed engine. I did that when I bought mine 5 years ago and still going strong.
  17. I'm willing to put in loooooong hours working on them. It's a sacrifice but i'm willing to do it.
  18. Personally, as a composite "technician" I LOVE working with composites. lol
  19. Her landing gear looks pretty good too......
  20. With pictures like that, I don't need Viagra
  21. We could keep this one going for months. LOL
