  1. Dan, I'll hunt down the company who supplied me with one as it fit well. I used glue gone and mek to clean well, and 3M "gorilla snot" to adhere the new seal. Expect closing difficulty until new seal is "broken in" to the frame. A few days in the f47 Sun will expedite this
  2. Dear Mooney Enthusiast, We had nice weather for our last event at Fort Pierce, warm, windy, and a high overcast. Twelve Mooneys and one Piper brought 22 people together for good conversation and food. We totally filled the space the restaurant gave us, so it was perfect attendance. Our next event will be this Saturday, March 9 at the Flightline Cafe at Winter Haven (KGIF). Foreflight shows their price of self serve 100LL at $4.87 at this time. All events start at 11:30. Future events: March 9, Winter Haven (GIF). April 13, Flagler, (FIN). May 11, Lakeland, (LAL). Please let me know by Thursday if you are going to try to come so I can give the restaurant an approximate headcount. If you tell me you are coming, and can’t come do not worry about telling me, just do not come. I do not want anyone flying for any reason if they shouldn’t. Hope to see you soon, Dave and Ruth N46DT 352-408-3343
  3. Ah yes,,,the secret to selling Mooney's I have found is to teach the CPA department, herein "the wife" how to gracefully get in and out of one. While not a Mooney salesman nor have I ever been one, both at Osh and at SNF more than one Ultra's were sold after I took the time with the prospect to demonstrate to the wife how to get in one without embarrasing oneself. Fran on the other hand, had this skill, so it was appropriate to fortify her intellectual CPA gene
  4. Ah yes, A proud new owner! Rob, here is what I use on the plastic lenses https://www.amazon.com/NOVUS-PK1-8-Plastic-Scratch-Remover-Bottles/dp/B002UCYRZU/ref=sr_1_8?crid=29OBJW8FFN9AI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.rEfS2Z0Nh7cGsY1LXpJOpim-1k9KW-iZwHMOJIEA1n7erCEsiVxOEt-l_I_3hc-3B7TGTI3JxAiH2XwcZhGjt9mke4pCfzUL_y0cvYEuyrcBL7B7C29wEoEtwnJ8SM-1uI4GqnUPPzJG4VsLD_qsDnIXj4Zsrp36AjGUcnLEB2mtGHg4eCA8AFMP54WNSg4YilHiEBFgCEHwH04Ljju0l71-lUwOz2U9lD6ea-ViaJ7N1HGA4ZkQ7f991Gb1EttUR-Jwlr1nZ6Euh5KpBu8-8vUPEuxlxCMYgFVTNBIm13Y.3o9EWgB8tx-d-46VuzJwSw5VtgFxT60ZjLC0WrX-aUw&dib_tag=se&keywords=plastic+polish&qid=1709159045&sprefix=plastic+polich%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-8 and if your J has a polished aluminum spinner, this stuff cant be beat for ease of use and for shine longevity https://www.amazon.com/CALIFORNIA-CUSTOM-Products-Deoxidizer-Stainless/dp/B0BD1FHV8F/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3NQOQT76EB7V8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ld7IYfdD7kUshjrbI5QrU14i5Ur4YefrqcNWWyBTVHE618fG10MamFXnpjS2pi7VCejwlTyUPNAL_cFMvMVWBbbLzgXxUvkXqlbPXozc_wHySKsEoRjgrwn9XSDM5k5bslzwgIL8QUYLTNS9zQDvaPnDJl4eKjjXH61XNtV0nNDaoJJZaAPRwZD0IMrYi2ul7-ltKNzff6uTXgRY4v2mtHKWH27bTzpe8znH-Mwm3EGF-LdXLru_6Zc2YU3f1Z9jEk2UW2F3DaRyzXAdjyDqDPzI7EKwT4s1sWkOetMXUUQ.rd3UkKdFgBPtE0Oqm6mkiV5ZBwCmGA1_IfiK4pxnv3I&dib_tag=se&keywords=california+purple+metal+polish&qid=1709159193&sprefix=california+purple%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 You have my contact info, let me know if I can ever help you in ownership or flying concerns. I hope we will see you at the Mooney Summit next Oct!
  5. sure do, which model Mooney are you seeking instruction in and when are you needing training? This makes a huge difference on who to have do your training
  6. Agree with Rich, just have your mx yank the suction screen if he's up to the task and check if any part numbers are found on metal shavings if present. A failing tappet will leave parts of itself there Everytime.
  7. Regarding pulling a cylinder. You are willing to purchase a plane with an at or near tbo engine. You already know there will be wear on the tappets and cam lobes and you already know you will be replacing and overhauling soon. You already have a discounted sales price for this I assume. If I were the owner I would not agree to this after fully disclosing all known engine conditions anyway. All kinds of new issues could be introduced for no reasons not previou$ly mitigated by price You need to focus on the quality of the airframe and corrosion condition. If acceptable go for it knowing your going to have to spend the big bucks on the engine soon. If the tanks haven't been resealed in 20 years, they will need it coming up. That sealant, like bladders, don't last forever Have someone who knows how to pre purchase inspect a Mooney do a proper pre buy, you will get your value there. The Internet opinions are for us old armchair quarterbacks to enjoy reading
  8. It will be the effect of being slammed shut a few times. get it adjusted and always brief pax that you will secure the door. Did I mention groping is allowed in your own plane
  9. Glad to hear it was easy, Dan
  10. This^ Many intrinsic and subjective advantages to getting your fingernails dirty. Coms and decisions are also not shelved or postponed on improvements, deferrals, or adjustments. You will also decrease billable times by up to 1/2 if your a contributor and not a hindrance
  11. following the maintenance manual 100 he inspection by a qualified experienced with Mooney IA and researching AD's, one would be hard pressed to do it in less than 3 man days
  12. The Summit will be First weekend in Oct, Dan. Did I mention the Hard rock casino is nearby?
