Didnt see it mentioned but make sure to ground your aircraft AND your fuel can (metal or plastic) before draining. Years ago I witnessed what could go wrong.

If still for sale and as described I’ll pick it up and buy it. Pm me or email bluskydtl@aol.com Ed

Since 1995 I had cab ice once returning from Florida during February. DPA ILS ran into some lake effect snow poping in and out of cloud. I noticed a rough run, pulled carb heat and heard several backfires then cleared up. I had a carb temp installed before flying in those conditions again. Never had carb ice during VFR flight, but ya never know.

GPSS = AWESOME!!!!!!

I’ve been building my -7 as time permits over the last five years and have really been enjoying the building process. Will be moving it to my hangar next month so I can start the firewall forward portion. Once you fly one you will be wondering why you didn’t do it sooner.

Update. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your input. I showed the shop theses postings and they quickly adjusted from 9 hours down to two. Yall helped me save $490.00

Thanks all for the clarification, I’ll go pay them a visit tomorrow to discuss. Ed

Little advice / info needed. I currently have my 70C electric gear model in for its yearly inspection at a local well respected shop. The shop said the left gear pre-load needed reset and the nose gear also. The labor on the left gear was 1.5 hours and to set the nose gear its 9.5 hours. Does this labor for the nose gear pre-load sound right ???? Also while I’m In for service my aileron links / bearings are being replace along with the rudder link / bearing . Mooney currently these for $550.00 each with a three day lead time, the shop quoted 12.5 hours for the R&R. Does the labor on all three links sound correct. Thanks for for any input. Ed

I have one, worked when removed 10 or so years ago for S-Tec upgrade.

I’m a 100% in at the discounted price. Do we have a solid 5 takers now ?

I’m very interested in a group buy if price is good.

I have 540 and my auto pilot is connected to a switch. Nav 1 / Nav 2

WOW! Very nice panel, something to be very proud of. Work looks excellent, I always hear great things about the shop.

Spectacular trip. Thanks for sharing your link.

I added a three blade on my C and would never go back. Smooth when ( Properly ) balanced and truley helps a C climb performance on hot days.

Yawn

I did not have a 430 / 530, just a good old GX65. I look around tried them all and decided on the IFD 540, 100, 340 full install. Definitely no regrets. I know many others that have done the same.

No such thing, I have built and flown several experimental aircraft ( checking limits ) above that altitude......

I’ve had my 70C for many years I know it’s a solid airframe 20 plus years in my heated hangar. As the years passed by and as I had the (cash) I’ve done many upgrades spreader out. The engine, prop, bladders, speed mods, windows, paint , interior, S-etc 30, gpss and just last year I put another 30k into my panel, this time to get ADSB compliant and finally get a wass gps plus some other goodies. I did this all for me! It’s what I,like to do. My wife and I love the little C, great IFR cross country and very economical to operate. I’m almost done building my 200hp RV -7 and originally thought I’d sell my Mooney once completed but it’s been such a joy to own and fly cross country we decided to do the upgrades last year and keep it.

Strange. Northwest Flyers does get very busy at times but I never had a issue calling Gene or Skip, rarely it takes a second call the following day.

Gene at northwest flyers 06C, big time mooney experience . Ed

May be a really nice plane, only way to find out is to take a look. The price wouldn’t scare me a bit if It’s a actual 9 or 10.

Sound good, let me know.

Getting ready to pull the trigger for my RV-7, soon as as its ready for my 70C I’ll do that too.
