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.

I don't touch the mixture from cruise to landing. Just leave it set. Looks like you have your answer you over riched it. if you need more power then add throttle.

It was a bad several seconds for the Bravo break up. Slowed down the video.

It's like "No littering in Park" as if it is OK to litter outside the park

Well at least they kept it out of the water runway. DWH has been known to have gravity surges about once a week. Looks like the registration changed hands in May. So might have been purchased earlier in the year.

I believe before it was filled with a plastic panel the ash tray used to go in that cut out. Seems to be about the right size as the ash tray in my 75 F model

Start with the plugs. Think about leaning. Mine is land, stable rolling, lean, pop the door.

I have started having fun with the line "My family policy does not allow for that" Or "that would go against our policies" It's kind of fun to watch them short circuit when their whole career has been following the policy. And now they are faced with another policy. If they press the issue, then I just say "well um we would have to run that through the policy committee and it may take some time to get approval" "I will write up your proposal and get back to you"

I narrowly missed working for that company when they acquired Northern Natural Gas. The good news is I see Galveston may get more commercial flights to support the Booze Cruises. I have a travel ban on Spirit.

They trust you with millions of dollars of equipment and negotiate million dollar deals and makes lots of money for them, but they don't trust you to get there in the conveyance of your choosing. Ask if you can ride your motorcylce to the customer site.

I recently went to paint the markings on the helipad we put in by the station. I took a square to try and do a good job. After placing the square on the corner of the slab, i gave up and put it away. Better not to know and hammer to fit, paint to match like the ones before me did.

I just charged them the car mileage and enjoyed being home for dinner while the others sat in traffic. The way I saw it the boss who never could figure out why I could not pop over from Houston to San Antonio for a day (7-8 hours of driving) should not care that much. He lived in a Northern state where you can cross 3 states in 15 minutes. Texas is bigger. They not did ever say I could not take my motorcycle either. Nothing in the policy manual about not flying.

Looks exactly like is what is on my 75 F model

I have the pdf for the 74-76 F PM me your email address. I will send you a Google docs link

still sounds like wiring. Would still check the grounds and such. All connections should be shiny bright. Try jumping the solenoid from battery hot to contact. in my parts spreadsheet I have this. here is some info: http://mooneyspace.com/topic/3437-spec-sheet-for-cutler-hammer-6041h231/ and if you can get your mechanic to agree it is a "standard part" (It has no TSO, PMA, or Milspec) and the 6041H105 meets or exceeds the original specs, then the 6041H105 may work. Master Relay eaton "6041h105" Oh look when I search the Eaton part number I find this. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/solenoid_6041H105.php?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwmrqzBhAoEiwAXVpgokHVB0I9c-9YozfNvSmlGTZJzP5fLZNCXGUuRe-E-QhAfqTq_vYQoBoClf4QAvD_BwE

I tried all sorts of drains. Now I just go get all the old blue rags that I wipe bugs off and stuff them below it. Then just move fast. I let other people change my truck oil since it started looking like a murder scene after I was done.

There really is no room for another alternator and to be redundant it would need a second belt, which would mean a double pulley on the crank shaft. Keep current on your battery tests with your electronics. If you have panel space consider adding an AV 30 to the panel. I am not secure in the lithium battery in the plane yet, but a SLA battery plugged into the cigarette lighter would power the avionics for awhile and be a lot cheaper.
