    So, it is the trim indicator that is getting jammed rather than the trim itself?

    Most of the flammability is associated with the solvents. In most cases the once the solvent evaporates the adhesive shouldn't be very flammable.

    I'm 6'5" and I have more legroom in my M20J than I had in my M20D (also a short body). In my D with the seat all the way back I didn't have an inch to spare. My knees were just barely clear of the panel. I can fly my J with the seat one notch up from the back.

    It looks like it has only flown 125 hours in the past 8 years.

    Is there any reason an AME couldn't provide this service? They are used to signing off on FAA medicals.

    It looks like some kind of relief valve or pressure switch. Is it connected to that white wire? It's hard to tell from the photo.

    Freshly repaired after the gear collapse?

    Upgrading the 430 to a 430W is one path, but there are plenty of ADS-B transponders available with internal position sources.

    The 430 lets you legally file/navigate direct to your destination. It also gives you access to thousands of GPS approaches. The tablet can't do either of these things.

    Delaware corporations don't remove the legal requirement to pay sales/use tax. They only help you hide from it.

    Have you personally seen inside a fixed gear D? Which parts of the retraction system does it have? Or are you just speculating?
  12. mooniac15u
    I found some very old paperwork from my M20D. "Retractable gear kit" is listed at 20 lbs.

    There was a statement about Cirrus having a disproportionately high fatal accident rate. That claim was not supported by more recent data. I suspect that most Cirrus owners would say you buy a plane with a chute for a reason and you pay for insurance so that you have the freedom to pull the chute. I have no personal affinity for Cirrus. I wouldn't buy one and I have no interest in flying one. I'm on my second Mooney.

    Cirrus accident rates have been trending down with better training. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2016/july/24/how-cirrus-reduced-accidents

    Most of these cellular switches use the same GSM module that only works on the 2G network. AT&T has said they will shut down their 2G network at the end of the year. T-Mobile uses the same GSM technology and has said they will maintain their 2G network until at least 2020. If AT&T isn't working now it might just be a coverage issue but it isn't going to matter in a month. The good news is you should be able to use a T-Mobile SIM card in your switch.

    It's all the left turns in the pattern. The electrons run out of the right wing and into the left.

    Maybe you already know this but Hoskins connectors and Whelen connectors are wired differently. If you swap in a Whelen bulb you will need to swap a couple pins in the connector.

    I think I asked you about the "tach total flight time" when you posted about your plane before and you said it was data from the digital tachometer. It seems like that would only count hours since the digital tachometer was installed rather than total airframe flight hours.

    Are you talking about 23.1353? That is a certification standard.
  20. mooniac15u
    There are airworthiness standards for certification and for capacity testing. Can you point to a specific FAR that prohibits flight with a partially discharged battery?

    Was the HIGH CHT on just one or two cylinders or on all four?
  22. mooniac15u
    Is your high CHT limited to one or two cylinders? If so, which ones?
  23. mooniac15u
    The landing gear extended speed is a published limitation for the airframe. How does one decide which limitations are ok to ignore?

    And here's @Marauder's cat.
