  1. It’s about time! I see nothing wrong with 150k early high end M20’s especially when I’m constantly seeing 150k for early 172’s and Warriors, they may advertise low time engines but most are very outdated / original.
  2. I’d be inline too.
  3. Ordered my intake boot (C model ) from Lasar last January and just received it. Pretty much 6 months to the date.
  4. Down low 2-5 was higher. 6-8 was ok. I set it to fixed so it’s more well rounded especially in summertime.
  5. Incase this helps another M20C in the future. I recently installed the Surefly with the variable timing option on my carbureted 0360. During the test flight my CHT’s were noticeably higher than normal. Next I pulled everything and reset to fixed timing CHT’s returned to normal or a tad better. Very quick starts both cold and hot and much smoother running engine.
  6. So it’s been a while since many of you switched to SureFly. I’m in the process of installing Surefly on my 70C . I’ve heard a few rumors the C models CHT’s may run hotter when selecting the variable timing mode. Have any other C drivers noticed hotter CHT’s ? Is it worth setting a carbed O-360 to variable timing or would you stay fixed like the right mag ? Thanks Ed
  7. If it’s above your ability or your local mechanics ability you could also visit your local EAA chapter, this would be easy for them since most have built aircraft and have a good amount of metal experience. Many are retired and some are A&P’s / IA’s.
  8. Hello, I’m interested. How old is the unit and battery?
  9. I installed the YD and like it. After establishing climb I turn it on and my feet can go to the floor if I like. Really nice on rough climb out’s and or long bumpy flights.
  10. I installed my tips back in the late 90’s I think I still have the drawings, pretty easy to install. I’ll look later when I get home. After my install I did notice a tad more roll response during the landing flare which I like during turbulent landings. They sure look cool, I thought they were worth the purchase.
  11. I’m building the -7 Tailwheel / Slider. Just moved it to my new place so I can proceed with the fire wall forward.
  12. When I use to be in the aircraft window polishing business I used thin CA for customers with minor cracks like this, had good results.
  13. I had the Tanis system installed 8 years ago with the sump and intake bolt adapters, works great and warms the entire engine.
  14. A dimmable automotive led strip light that plugs into a 12 volt cigar socket works nicely under the glair shield / dash pad. Blue works good, lights up my entire panel when needed. Amazon has many options.
  15. Very nice.
