If you are going to do it. Make them out of urethane. They wou1d 1ast 1onger. There is some pretty good info on getting the right hardness. A fiberg1ass mo1d and you are in business. Write a spec sheet to fi11 out by owners.Then is an owner suppi1ed part.

mine are sti11 pretty springy. I get to count 2 1andings tonight. No carrier 1andings in a Mooney

It got taken out by some guaquamo1e and some picante sauce. O1d schoo1 wou1d know that there was no 1 on a manua1 typewriter and you just used an 1. Amazon shou1d have a new one here tomorrow.

I have a purchased this year Ha1o headset for sa1e. http://www.quiettechnologies.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=66_59&product_id=51 It has the music in jack on it. 2 of the earp1ugs were used. Case and 6-7 other sets of earp1ugs come with it. Nothing wrong with it, I am just more of a headset person. Say $275.00 takes it

And it is no fun when they ca11 you with a hit of urgency in their voice and have the beeping going in the background

mine had a nut on the back side due to cross threading. You have to grind down one side of the nut to fit up against the angle alum. You also have to pull the access panel to put the nut there. Once the nut is placed the angle alum holds the nut so you don't have to put a wrench on it.

I am 260 with dry fur. Wing walk seems fine so far. Did note that the pilot and copilot seat plan had aluminum tears in them from previous usage.

Just get a better airport with better surfaced runways and taxi ways

75F Epoxy painted structure tubings from factory. Many of the ADs were fixed from the factory. With larger paws, you can put your paw on all the quadrant controls and fine tune everything at once. On a go around all things go forward. Possibly a gear actuator that is harder to find.

Last week I had a tone change in the exhaust that sounded like flapping. Seems like the tail pipe broke right behind bell pipe swell. It was my time to pay another monthly honorarium to the maintenance gods. Check for loose stuff that should be tight.

There are several names: door edge trim. U trim, U channel . I just left the old on and painted it with the panel, but it has hardened and shrunk so It would be nice to get something new. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=plastic+edge+trim&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aplastic+edge+trim If you went with a thicker than is on there now you may have to trim the panel

So just to be sure if it is a Duke pump and it goes south, they will throw lots of plastic downstream. There should be a filter right after the pump to catch it if the AD was done There should be a screen right in the Fuel servo. You have probably been flying it with the pump failed for awhile.

nothing beats the smell of leather. I was thinking it might smell like glue. The fit could be a bit better. It looks like Mooney hand cut the panels and let the carpet cover up the gaps. I just traced the panels. I think should have gained some usable load back as the leather/alum panels were lighter than stock. Good Bye Antique Moss.

People who say pulling a cylinder is a good thing have probably never done it.And then all you learn is that the cam/lifters look good now. Does not mean they will last 10 or 50 more hours. It would be an all day job then you have to do trust flight hours. Pull #3 if that floats your boat. The nice thing about an older engine with original parts is that the metal in the components is better than the 90s metallurgy. Fly it till it makes metal in the oil filter. New engine or old engine you are going to have to drop some coin on it at some point. When were the mags done last?

About 7 feet for the baggage compartment. A lot more for the door

This guy on ebay has windlace. The foam core is at an angle not round. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-8-INCH-CORE-PREMIUM-STITCHED-CLOTH-BLACK-HEADLINER-WINDLACE-BY-THE-FOOT-/121262448442?hash=item1c3bce1f3a It's not a tinnerman clip as that would show to the outside. but a wood screw "nut" McMaster Carr refers to them as speed nuts. Although a standard bevel head machine screw and nut would do as would the pop rivits I used needle nose pliers to hold the nut. Use an awl at an angle to cinch up the windlace and put a hole in it. Hold in place. remove awl replace with chosen fastner. repeat. Should take about 2-3 hours standing by the plane...... Leather... hum I bet I could take some scrap and make my own to match the interior.

Mine seems to do pretty good in a hard landing. Eventually I will get it to be smooth

Pics or it did not happen

Luggage compartment bottom panel The aluminum panels take about 30 minutes to make, it would be faster if I had a brake instead of a hammer and edge of a table. All in for the panel creation and install should take about 8 - 10 hours. Things may slow up for the side panels. We will see. Cutting for the rest of the baggage compartment panels. All in it looks like it should be around $750.00 including the floor carpet by the yard ordered this morning. Maybe 15-20 hours labor. Have not seen a full leather luggage area offered. I would have had to pull the panels anyways since the people in the business did not have patterns available.

I have (was given) (about 15 hours in a complex) MP to 15. On threshold check airspeed, if high pull up, slow down, gear down, Then gumps. Always gear down on threshold. For straight ins,here will have to be a new "always gear down point"

My transition instructor was. "Hey isn't there a plane in the pattern" I start looking. Instructor pulls breaker. Then waits. Then asks another question on gear down point at threshold. I caught it at base that the gear was not down. Reached over and pushed the breaker in. Gave him the "ha ha that was funny" look.

You wonder what the Mooney Marketing Department was thinking of when they decided Antique Moss was a carpet they wanted to put in their planes.

I think it is skipping a step in the checklist. How many times have you skipped a step in any check list? Finger slid too far down. the last step took too long or needed more attention. then you go on to the next step. which is actually a couple down from the one you last did.

Do all the electric mooneys have the floor manual indicator? In addition to checking the green light, I think I check the floor about twice. The manual gear indicator would seem to be bombproof on reliability of knowing.
