The key would probably be to see if you have a Squat switch over on the left wheel.

You don't have a "Guns" button on your throttle do you?

We want to provide you with the latest updates on Operation Airdrop as we mobilize to support the communities affected by the recent events in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. Here’s everything you need to know to participate and support our efforts: Staging Base at Concord Regional Airport Storage Hangar Address: 8605 Aviation BIvd NW, Concord, NC 28027 Our operations base is now set up at Concord Regional Airport, where we will begin accepting flights for donations starting tomorrow, Sunday, September 29th, 2024. We anticipate full-scale flight operations beginning on Monday, September 30th. Volunteer pilots, please start preparing for Monday's launch! Multiple destinations have already been identified, with the largest being Asheville Regional Airport (AVL). We are also working to reach additional locations that have significant need, including remote areas where rotor operations will be essential. Volunteer Sign Ups! Fuel Discount for Pilots We are also excited to announce that pilots flying in support of this mission will receive a $0.75 per gallon discount on fuel. Simply inform the FBO that you are flying for Operation Airdrop, and the discount will be applied. We also have secured some hotel rooms in case anyone needs to stay over night. Civilian Supply Drop-Off Location: For those delivering donations by ground, we’ve partnered with Miracle Movers, who will be providing moving trucks at our civilian drop-off location at Walmart (just near the airport). Walmart Near Concord Regional Airport 5825 Thunder Rd NW Concord, NC 28027 Drop-Off Hours: Starting tomorrow, Sunday afternoon.

Erratic sounds like wiring. Grounds should all be shiny bright. There should be a ground strap from engine to the firewall. Check the battery ground in the Coms Bay Port side behind the wing.

NOT LPS. Use contact cleaning fluid. Red can. What year F Model? Exorcise the micro switch while spraying with contact cleaning fluid.

Well that's not right either. It really depends on if you have a squat switch. on a later F 70s F the Sonalert is triggered by the Squat Switch on the Port wing. The Gear Pos light is triggered by the Down limit switch in the belly. Even with your statement, the Gear Pos Light and Gear Warn are on separate circuits. The fact remains that the mostly likely cause of the OP is the throttle sensing limit switch since those are the most likely to get out of adjustment. The two two circuits are Left wing Plug and Electric Gear plug. Knowing it is two different circuits is important because the numbering scheme on the wiring changes. Where the power comes from is less relevant. One CB can power two different circuits. I learned a long time ago to leave off the last paragraph.

What they said. The gear warning and lights are different circuits.

I think also that is a smaller diameter shaft than in the later model Fs.

If this is the passenger yoke, I would also guess getting bumped and grabbed during ingress and egress to the plane has something to do with the stress cracks. I would have to guess Mooney did not plan for cast aluminum from the mid 1900s to not crack. Sent this to Jason at the FAA. Jacob, for the Mooney Control Wheel ACS I noticed it covered all the F models. The later F models I have a 75 F do not use that kind of control wheel. Those are the "slim" Wheel which are on earlier models. Mine has the "mongo" control wheels More like on a J model This is from the Parts Manual #105 The "mongo" control wheel have different design for the Control Shaft interface. The interface hole sits more in the body of the yoke so there is more material to support the control shaft. I noticed in the ACS picture the set screw threaded hole was starting to crack around it. Someone has put way too much torque on this poor wheel.

Not sure what Goop is made from. Probably hog fat renderings or something natural. I have also got it at Home Depot or Walmart. Good for cleaning your hands also

The sprayer that you use with mineral spirit works pretty good on the engine and the belly. Goop hand cleaner and blue rags is cheaper.

I believe that is just a raspberry PI in a 3D printed box. Dremel tool is your friend. Then just follow the steps to redo the micro SD card. https://stratux.me/

gives a new meaning to hot swap.

Wing drain or colator drain? Try exercising it. Then replace it. Rubber seals get old and fail.

Like died how? You might be able to get a new micro card with loaded software on it for the raspberry pi

Depending on how much was done. I will do one or two fast taxi. Then come back and check everything. Then circle up over the airport. land and check things. Then the bird is ready to fly.

You can unscrew the plexiglass cover. Clean out the gunk. Check the tightness of the indicator (piece of plastic) on the Bowden wire. Make a new one out of a plastic cutting board from wally world and put it back together.

I took my strobe Nav lights off my 75 F model last year, One was not strobing, never tested it assumed it was the power supply. Would sell both sides as a lot.

considering the whole northwest of 1/4 of New Mexico is Reservation and most of the Eastern half of Oklahoma, it is hard not to travel through Reservation Lands on State Highways or Interstate Highways. Knowing the history helps to understand how things go. Like in the 50s (mid 1900s) kids were taken to white man's school to destroy the culture. So the elders kind of don't like white people. They would believe the reason for destroying the culture is due to most of the Reservations if the blood line gets diluted enough the land will revert back to the US Government. Also when you go to places like West Texas it's just a couple of generations removed from bad things the Government did to them. That culture and heritage still exist today. Most of them will tell you giving up their guns to the Government was a mistake.

When ATC calls with an urgent voice you can hear beeping in the back ground and telling you to climb Immediately. I believe I went right also as well as climbing.

It's like going on a cruise ship, once you are 8-16 miles offshore the US laws are not in play. Works both ways, now that his plane is back the odds that the tribe can seize it are very small. The FAA is in play with federal statutes. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/32

It's not much different than my standard mid 45 entry to downwind. Those are flown with the runway 1/3 under the wing from the tip. Hit mid field 500 ft high from TAP reduce throttle a bit. Then reduce throttle more when you are at threshold on downwind put your gear down. (this is standard for me) Keep turning add flaps as needed. I usually land half flaps only if I am high or the airport demands will I be full flaps. Or if the Mooney Safety instructor demands that I land full flaps. No turns under 90mph without flaps. It's kind of just a cool circle to land learning to manage energy. I would say it is safer than going wide to mix and do a mid 45 downwind entry. You can always break it off and enter an upwind and fly the whole pattern if someone else shows up.

If there is a straight in and less than nobody in the pattern, It's time for an overhead break or as the aim calls it an overhead maneuver. I announce what I am doing. "overhead break joining the downwind at mid field" "Break overhead the field, Turning for left downwind" "Turning Downwind from mid field" makes for a nice circle to land. Gives me a chance to check things out and improve SA.
