RIP Erik, your consul and encouragement changed my course for the better. I will miss you and our friendship

The g1000 modules in the radio rack need to be removed and reinstalled. This is delicate as the connector pins are easily bent if mus aligned on reinserting. If you have an avionics shop on field ask them to do this as a check. it’s not difficult nor time consuming but requires extreme care and shouldn’t be done by someone unless qualified access is on the pilot side first verify on the aux system page no red X on anything after AP self test

Does your aux > system show all green checks when it is dysfunctional? sometimes re-racking the modules will address an intermittent issue, but your saying this is repeatable at startup, correct? im assuming gfc700 not stec

He wouldn’t be coming from Florida, but your point is well taken. You simply need a ferry pilot, not a CFI to get your plane repositioned. Perhaps your shop uses a ferry pilot or service and can help. hopefully they have experience in a rocket if Notarpilot doesn’t meet your specifications check with @donkaye, MCFI. He will get your plane there in one piece

Mooney pros has a rocket owner instructor that could do this the week of thev14th kindly go to www.mooneypros.com and complete out new pilot information form which depicts our rates and insurance policy requirements and once this is all in place we can get you scheduled Mike

Seems to me I saw something one that at SNF one year. Something screamed “coy jacobs” when I saw it

Thanks Dan looking forward to seeing you and Fran again!

The Mooney Summit has reached out to Janice, Frederick’s wife. She wants to thank everyone who has supported the Bill Gilliland foundation and our efforts to help down Mooney pilots families.

Glad your experience with us was of the quality we always want to provide! Thanks for trusting us with your training needs!

Congrats on your E! I’m sure www.Mooneypros.com can get you up to speed in short order. Kindly fill out our new pilot info and we can get this set up mike

thx lance

Thanks lance, have been busy working in a m20v. I’ll spend some time to see if he has a widow today

I have been out if pocket training and just saw this thread Rip Fred if anyone can verify Fred’s spouse and mailing address please forward

There is a nice acclaim sn 31-0127 for sale under 400 I have spent a lot of time in

If you don’t bake the unknown/undisclosed issues into your self assessment of its value you are not being honest with yourself for example. If it hasn’t had the tanks resealed in 20 year but no leaks now, well you know they will happen and probably soon so you should discount what you think it’s worth accordingly

Good luck Dan, should be fairly easy to isolate. Have the mx retrace his work and see if any of it could have caused a short also, which I’m sure he is already doing

Check rear baffle seal about half way across the engine. They have a tendency to droop there and let air escape vs being forced down thru the cylinder cooling fins Look at the baffle seal for evidence of contact with the cowl and maybe use a light at night to check for fenstration

What would you buy it for today. Answer honestly. That’s what it’s worth

Solid ^^

The hartwell 5000 latch can wear on the holes the spring axel uses for location, and when it does, the latch can pop open easily. Ask me how I know. Fix is new latch, and for only $47 USD, you can secure a new one sans rivets and labor.

did you go flying in a Bonanza recently?

The Mooney Summit XI dates and venue have been finalized for 2026! Mark your calanders, as it promises to be even better than this years Summit. Great to see everyone again and meet the next gen of Mooney owners. Registration will be announced here on Facebook on X and on www.mooneysummit.com

There was a pro photographer there filming everything. I’m sure the pics will appear soon. it was the best Summit yet! Alex Gertsen and his team really did a fantastic job. I took a pic mid day Friday of some of the people in the hangar

John, if it is determined you need one, LASAR was kind enough to donate one to the Mooney Summit Silent auction. At first glance, it appears it was not bid on and would be available. @toto is correct, your spring breaks, your next purchase is a ferry prop rental and some belly skins. (opps, my bad the 84 J is the year they put on the nicer one piece belly skin) What your really asking is it necessary to change out a part that isnt broke (yet) and of course the answer is It depends. The SB was put out for a reason, as these lil guys do break and do have a life of having their little tangs pulled on. If you decide to go for it, let me or Alex know and we can get it to you. Congrats on winning the Mooney Mover Tug! Another unsold item is a JPI Fuel scan 450 and a John Liskey custom painting of your aircraft. if anyone would like to purchase these great donations to the Mooney Summit to aid downed Mooney Pilots families, let me know, I know a guy who knows a guy and can get them to you.
