    They must have gone to J yoke in 76. or it was converted. My Mongo 75 yoke definitely have the map light on the left side down below the PTT.

    yep two rods. I think the back clips line up with the outside edges of the covers. just behind the last row. Not sure the back clips are that necessary for it all to work. Some how when I sewed my seat up it was a bit long so the rear is not clipped.

    The rebuilt fuel pump seems to run at 30psi at full throttle

    I was under the impression that Mooney test flys the planes unpainted. Then paints them. Best I can tell Mooney painted with all the control surfaces on the airframe.

    If you hook the rear first, then hook the front rod, not so bad to do. Sitting on the seat compresses the spring

    My hooks are put in with #4 screws. The same screws as the covers to the spar area. I have the split removeable seat backs. It is easier to put the seat backs in then the bottom cushion. The seat belts make the two rod thing for the rear retention necessary.

    Being able to stop the flow of thick oil in a down angle seems to be the key to eliminating drips. I cut half off half the flexible tubing. You can bend the tubing to cut the flow along with the valve at the bottle. I learned not to have the dipstick in while trying to add oil

    I think it would make a mess that no one would want to clean up. Moving further south would work better

    I love looking at the pictures of snow.... From Texas

    And I did repair one split on a window plastic with Goop since I was in a hurry. Seems to be holding up so far.

    do you have electric trim? Now I am going to have to look again.

    75F map light button is on the left side of the yoke. Pictures may help. I would not get too technical about the replacement. Digikey has lots of push button switches.

    There is no dual instruction in a F-18. Think about that one. Solo in a trainer., finish up in the mooney

    I thought you wanted a "glass" cover made. For the plastic part. I would be thinking to vacuum bag some fiberglass cloth with resin to the backside. Then vinyl cut out sticker to freshen up the front side indicator. And replace all the screws with stainless. And put in some shoulder harnesses. I was getting on a flight to OKC and a guy with an NTSB shirt was behind me. he asked if I had a plane. Then asked if I had shoulder harnesses. Then asked if I had the gear warning pipped into the headset.

    Of all the places you could stick a camera putting it in front of the horn aerodynamic balance arm would seem to be the worst position on the airplane. But hey to each his own. I have some jack points that will make for really good gimble remote control mounts. Static mounts are so yesterday. This was a fun read. Much of it way over my head, but it was good to know that even the engineers don't really know all the answers when it come to flutter. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/pdf/88390main_H-2077.pdf

    Home Depot They have lots of plexiglass and acrylic sheeting sizes to choose from. Saw, dremel tool and sandpaper will have you going. Make one out of cardboard first if you need a pattern to bring home. Or take a pencil and paper to make a tracing.

    I always thought this would be fun to do in the car. Have a HUD and targeting system use the phone as a radar. Other players on the high way would show up on the radar first shot in range that is a hit wins. Only for the passenger of course. Could work in the plane with ADSB with 978 UAT Plane to plane transmission. This is more real idea. Take the FatShark telemetry from the RC world, use one of the PIco projectors with some plexiglass to create a HUD for GA planes

    Learned a new term today. Horn aerodynamic balance. (While doing company security training of course)

    many of the cessna people do the large washer thing with wingnuts to the tie down rings on the wings. Another eye bolt with 1/4 - 20 threads would fit right up to the tie down ring. The 1/4 -20 threads are what is needed on the bottom of the gopro. Use a nut to cinch down the camera

    The mount on the horz stab. I may be wrong but wind flow over that tab is what helps balance things. Not sure that is the best place to interrupt the flow. The main function is the weight that is there. The paint is missing from the top of mine.

    Heater is probably a lube/ cable adjustment. Front right firewall is where the slide valve is located.

    I believe the weight and balance from the factory takes into account the fuel in the tanks. Assuming you knew how much is in there. My stick is pretty accurate.

    Walking out at the end of the annual I saw some scales and asked the IA if they work. He said sure you can borrow them at anytime. It's tempting

    I replaced my cloth side panels with leather over alum. The leather was heavier weight than "upholstery" weight leather. But it was on sale. The alum with leather was several pounds lighter than the factory cloth panels.
