For lower cowl installation on a F, used a bottle jack with 2x6 with a hole the size of the top of the jack drilled in it. Put some cushioning on it. then just jack up to position.

Sound like the upper limit is being hit which would be a loose wire or a short

is the epoxy stiff or flexible. If stiff you can roll the leather and it should pop loose. On most glue/errant Paint I have found that fingernails and rubbing with fingers and thumbs works. A little leather balm and you should be good.

Same model year. Same quadrant. Yes the switch is connected to the lever in the throttle quadrant with a rod and pins. I looked up the switch number on digikey and got no hits. Maybe mcmaster car would be the next place to look. Maybe the switch connects left to right side letting current flow. Which would make it not a double pole.

This should get the EE heads spinning. Let's label the positions 123. It is a double pole three position on switch. Basically I think it reverses the voltages to the relays hence the crossing part of the diagram. Up Position 1.12V both sides TO Only sees momentary voltage never continuous Down Position 3 12V both sides continuous View from copilots side View from pilots

The lever on the quadrant is connected to a switch via rods and cotter pins that you can see from the when rolling around on the copilot floor. That is when I saw it last

I am back in the same town with the plane. Hopefully tomorrow I can get over to the hanger and get you a real life diagram of the flap switch and how it works

The type data sheet says a 4 ply nose and 6 ply nose both weigh 7 lbs

Tires is one of the things listed in the Type Data Sheet 6.00-6 Type III 6 ply in the mains 5.00-5 Type III 4 ply in the nose http://www.67m20e.com/Mooney TCDS 2A3 Rev 52 dtd 9DEC10.pdf Looks like an F model uses a 6 ply in the nose.

This was the same thing you used to do to fix IBM Mainframes. The tech would come in and reseat all the cards. Usually fixed it. In a less gracious manner I put myself through college doing two way radio work during the summer. For some radios that were in mixer trucks they would get coated with cement dust and it was a high humidity environment (inside the cab, no air conditioning). The edge connectors would lose contact. A wack with a hard hat would reestablish the board edge connectors. Re seating cards is pretty much SOP for lots of things.

Another way would be to put it into fault condition then use test lead to complete the circuit with a test lead or wire across the limit switchs. When it moves you found the offending limit switch. It would be possible the switch attached to the flap lever could be going bad. Check that first. Probably 12v to the center.

To find which one is the R relay trace the Red wire from the flap motor to the relay. It is easier to figure it out with a VOM than to explain it online.

So because flaps are Not coming up = the R Relay(top one) The Top right pin of the R relay should have 12volts on it. Follow that down and the "UP Limit Lower on Shaft" limit switch and the "take off UP limit switch" are the places to start checking. the part of the drawing that is missing is the Flaps switch which is off the bottom of the page.

Both relays have to actuate for up or down to work. See how the red and black come out of the R and L relays. (does not mean that all the contacts in the relay are working) The bottom part of the circuit is the position indicator. The best way to see what is not working is with a VOM and a alligator clip on the negative lead. Clip the neg to a good ground. Get it into a non working condition then see where power is not flowing.

This was highly suggested. I saw them when replacing the panels. There is that old let sleeping dog lie phrase and if it aint broke don't fix it. They will get done some day. I would think National Aviation Part of America would have replacement. Looks to be the same size hose as the oil drain back hose from the rocker covers maybe a size bigger.

IF you look on the Sams website you will see that some stores carry Aeroshell 100 and 15-50W

And in other news $7.00/quart BMW brand Motorcycle Oil is repackaged Castor Oil Branded

Well it does say CB question. I would not know how much to change the oil on the truck since I do that myself. oil and filter from wally world. Take me less time than driving it somewhere. I am on the edge of switching to walmart brand lubricants I would be $2.00 that they are produced at the same packager as the name brand stuff. First time to do the plane seemed to take about 1.5 hours. Not sure why everyone wants to wait for the last drop. There is still about a quart in the oil cooler. If you buy your w100 oil from Sam's Club it is about $5.5 a quart.

permanent magnet motor on the flaps. Runs one way when the positive and neg are set,the other way when they are reversed. The Relays reverse the polarity First picture is relays. There is probably an up relay and a down relay. or a current interrupt relay The second picture is probably the current interrupt for flap position middle flap position. There is also a double pole single throw switch that is connected to the flap position lever in the cockpit. Third and forth picture are up and down limit switch. When activated they would only let the opposite current flow but not the current flow that would allow you to go past the limit.

So I really don't want to do Garmin and I really like the fact that I can do ADSB in on my phone with a $100 Strautx thing( I think technology should be cheap). So Aspen needs a GPS source right? Why could I not have say a Freeflight Ranger system with WAAS as the source? Looks like it should be ARINC 429. I sent an email to Freeflight to see what they have for ARINC 429 output. No one really makes this easy to understand.

Hmm one blue and one black prop control. I have a black one.

Remove one windshield wiper and take the stainless stiffeners out. Sharpen one end. Bend the other one into a 90 degrees. Oh wait I have said too much. It works pretty well on a 4/5 pin master lock. just saying

For that money you should at least get a USB charging port.

On topic going back to Austin Executive there was a very nice King Air behind two of us. Everyone was talking and working it out. I think there was even a "no worries" from the King Air. Everyone helping everyone be safe.
