If it's adjusted properly you should not need that. The O rings on the shaft should prevent water intrusion. but if you feel the need HDPE sheet and exacto knife should have you going. https://www.amazon.com/Density-Polyethylene-Standard-Tolerance-Thickness/dp/B0070Z8PDW/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3MEVJOPLHL7H8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.nqtE7lGqNuaPmPfS2B_ipA4dZAJMDcF_mvn3aMBMJA0PiM5-PDmAev4qo6Q7JhyZHdyJ_Tr5w25TwgCIK2ShbDrJzN_ZHqh2-XHY3at_JHfszyvdSSHr7pwRcW9WStgMSSz5jwZjg_9yNGHv6MI1cN-GOquGny3QJNM2uurqfAbJIGBrtJaS16ZSyX5qxRAlezP9yUJvZTz4ubKtkq0W1k8ZGO8pXMCITte4HS7dYQM.GoWziuZIfEnEW8Tor4rro9Smvl06mczWPQ6G_AOuEV4&dib_tag=se&keywords=1%2F16%2Bhdpe%2Bsheet%2Bblue&qid=1721843532&sprefix=1%2F16%2Bhdpe%2Bsheet%2Bblue%2Caps%2C283&sr=8-2&th=1

You can also look at the instructors and see if there is one around you and get some training time from them. I happen to have 2 around me and try to fly with them and take them to lunch. Probably want to do several sessions since they have lots of information to share.

Order the CD from the FAA https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/aircraft_certification/aircraft_registry/copies_aircraft_records Do a or find a AD list for the plane Expect to spend $10K I would say somewhere around $110K Does it have a working Auto pilot.

So the last track had it heading for Dallas after it crossed over Brenham. It was interesting to watch the Hurricane track models fail when two fronts came through Texas in July.

Part of the Aviation Weather.gov site. Good if you do your own weather forecast before flying. https://aviationweather.gov/gfa/#progchart

sounds like your pucks are in good order. Hold back on the yoke after the mains touch. Do a less steep approach. How hard are the mains hitting the ground?

It's weird. The Later Ovations have the STC in them because Mooney Bought it from the guy. There is a case to be made that earlier Ovations could have the STC done to them. The Eagle is a different model so it probably still needs the STC. But it may not exist since Mooney bought it. A call to the factory may reveal more information. A talk with your A/P may also be helpful.

y'all need more circuit breakers. Any ways the cat's meow is the pockets that go across the front of the seats. Hold way more stuff and easier to get to.

Should be fine. Many seats as they have been recovered received more or less foam. That changes things a bit. The Rudder pedal extension drawing is in the download sections.

Those look like the felt/leather tensioner thingys. I would get some hole punches and make some new ones out of leather. Reinstall with new leather ones and and report back.

New hoses call PH hoses in Tulsa get the fancy brown ones Aero LED Rebuild Fuel Servo if has not been done If you want an engine monitor, then go ahead and do a 7" screen Dynon EMS on the co pilot side. That's a quick $15K You are welcome.

take a flashlight and see if you see any drips hanging when cool. valve covers, drainback tubes are starters.

It's kind of not possible if I am behind you. You would not get sleep anyways since I move every 5 minutes and your back will be jostled.

Progressive Charts says nope. That said Bryan College Station or Brenham are decent options. Far enough inland to have things less severe.

Back in the day cops would pull over a Rolling G. think about how a G would roll. ie drunk driver. If they did not want to do the paperwork, they would just put the car key ring over the radio antenna. You have to be pretty sober to get them off, so kind of self service punishment.

how hard could it be? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiller_ROE_Rotorcycle

In Mountain Biking we had this saying OSB..... Other Sports Beckon.

So many ways to respond to the pictures. Wow glad it did not get to the fuel tanks. How did it burn if everything in the cockpit was burn certified? That sucks a $40.00 battery took another Mooney out of the fleet. How am I going to report this to the insurance company? Hey Chief you are not going to believe this one.

Funniest thing I have hear is the Tesla truck is just a Pontiac Aztec in a stainless wrapper.

Type ratings on the Honda Jet. Here is the weird thing I am finding out. Honda Jet, TBM 900, Gulfstream IV all 3 million dollars. I get it a brake job on the Gulfstream is $100K and 2 pilots and training of 70K a year. So let's go down to the next level $1.5MM. 1980s Cessna Citation, TBM 800, Husky. It seems cheaper to buy the Citation and hire pilots for a trip. Put it on leaseback. Trying to rationalize the cost of an Ovation. Seems like the market has been messed up by a particular seller. Everything is $250K But they are all original engine near TBO on time or hours. People bought them as their last plane and now they are timing out as pilots, but want their money back. Or I can get a Turbo Commander.

Could be a relay

I would say Marvel Mystery Oil is the same vintage as the design of our engines. Most likely you have a bit of coking going on. MMO may get you a few more hours before you have to ream them. We had to ream mine twice. The Grumpy IA uses air pressure to remove and reinstall the keepers. I got pretty good at using the prop and top of cylinder and one of these https://www.zoro.com/craftsman-flexclawr-pickup-tool-cmmt14112/i/G604105016/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=surfaces&utm_campaign=shopping feed&utm_content=free google shopping clicks&campaignid=17303393492&productid=G604105016&v=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwydSzBhBOEiwAj0XN4Hnaulkf2ZGlLkrzzh_QnNrmhDLUePjXyRs7LLe2KaClopkqrfjbPxoCwSwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds The trick my other IA did was cut off two apposing claws. I can get the valve back in with just pulling the spark plug going in the bottom hole with the grabber and a flashlight in the top hole.

Most people here miss the flaps as required in the Operators Manual. That said I was taught this by my transition instructor. Who is a Mooney Safety Instructor, IA/AP, Mooney E Owner with same engine. I also don't follow the Hot start procedure in the Operators Manual because it will flood the engine. Shut down at 1000-1100 with mixture. Just Crank to start and add mixture when pops. Is the way. That's quite a feat. Baby jar test should be your first step.

I don't have pictures, but drilled the holes and routed both EGT outside the exhaust tubes. Used cordage to tie them together. The biggest thing is to see if you can get them all to the center of the engine when you go to the firewall. Less movement that way. It's pretty low voltages so keeping them away from the spark plug wires would seem to keep the transients away.
