  1. Just bought this same part from Paul Loewen for my M20K 252 a month ago and had a great experience, quick shipping from CA to MA.
  2. Did you also install it on the Pilot side?
  3. It would be nice to see video of the new devices in action.
  4. Had my Magneto upgraded by Eagle Magneto in New Smyrna Beach, FL. Lycoming IO-360-A1B6D The mag was the Bendix D2000 dual mag. Great price and quick turn around, even upgraded to D3000 specs.
  5. I use it all the time. All my electronic devices including office computer has Windy installed.
  6. After looking at some pics, the gearbox is attached to the wheel without the wheelhub? The wheelhub is 5 bolts and the wheel pattern is 4 holes.
  7. Didn't realize the motor was 24V.
  8. Why did you go with 2 batteries? I know there cheap but wouldn't 1 be enough or do you think the power draw is a bit much from the motor?
  9. What did you use to switch between Forward and Reverse?
  10. I'm new (09/20)to the field KTAN but both airports KHYA, KOWD are no more than 15 min flight time from KTAN.
  11. Welcome Cory, I Subbed couple of months ago after watching the "4 first airplanes to own" video.
  12. I know its long shot being how long ago this was posted but do you have any pictures?
  13. https://preciseflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/2000-Series-SpeedBrake-Service-Guide-8.1.20.pdf
  14. Today my pilot side was slow to retract. I've read there suppose to be serviced. Anyone knows where to get the specifics on servicing them?
  15. I came across this aircraft back in June/July 2020 and from what I was told it was sold!?
  16. Got my Instrument ticket in this Mooney.
  17. Tucson Aeroservice Center @ KAVQ did my 252 PreBuy working alongside Savvy.
  18. I remember that post, it was actually revived some maybe 2 weeks ago. I keep up with yourself and other here on MS, Gsxrpilot also as a 252 owner, even watched his youtube videos .
  19. Had the shop follow the Mooney 100 hour inspection at prebuy which included a borescope check of the engine, plane had regular maintenance, oil changes done on time, annuals on time, Blackstone oil analysis was done, went through the logbook. I've also read service bulletin SB03-3 but I am no A/P, just wanted to educate myself. I purchased the plane with a strong over TBO engine and lack of modern avionics but that was all worked into the purchase price.
  20. I've been following you here on MS because I knew the day was coming when you would post about doing the Encore conversion. Just bought my 252 and she has 1881 hours but the compression are all in the 70's except 1 cylinder( 64). I guess I'll have to start searching for the necessary parts to do my conversion but if you don't mind I would be glad to get as much info about the parts list. Also on my way back I tried your 25/25 and lean to 9.9GPH 13.5K East bound last week and I could only get my plane to 10.1GPH before a bit of noticeable vibration. Then again I had to contend with the winds from the storm.
  21. How long did it take to gather up the landing gear parts needed for the Encore conversion?
  22. What about the O2 ports on your What about your O2 ports on your K? Or did your K not come with built in O2?
  23. Do you have GAMI injector's? I'm picking up my 252 this week and the seller said he runs 30" MP, 2500 RPM and LOP to 10.5-10.6 on the Shadin FT101. SO good to see that M20J numbers are possible to get out of the bigger 252 engine.
  24. I hope that means there's parts available for the 252------Encore conversion.
