Flap switch. Oil filter cutter, speed mods, vinyl placards. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well damn, I got a few bits and pieces like this when I bought my F and didn't get a lot of info. Sorry if I mislabeled this. I found the paperwork in the box with the spinner. Anybody have suggestions on how to identify the real part number and suggest how to flip? Thanks, Charlie Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi, Is this sill available? Ho much? Thx Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nick at Keithareo is a mobile AI or has a shop in Pekin, IL. He's familiar with Mooney and very thorough. www.keithaero.com Regards, Charlie Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Shawn, Any chance you can send me a pdf of the M20F POH? (I couldn't open the Dropbox link) Thank-you so much. Charlie Charlesual@aol.com Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this sold yet? What model? Thx, Charlie Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi, I'm interested in this. Thanks, Charlie Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Carl, Thanks for asking. She's presently finishing her last semester of her aviation degree and flight instructing in Denver. She just finished an internship at United and made some great connections for later. Guessing she's get hired by a regional carrier by year end. How are things going with you?

John, Have you found a mechanic and or CFII in the nova area yet? I have a mobile AI I use in the area that's familiar with Mooney's. He lives near Winchester but will travel. Also, while I've let my CFII lapse many moons ago, I'm very proficient at teaching the nuances of Mooney's and Boeing if you are headed that direction as well.[emoji6] Charlie 303-246-0644 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Welcome aboard Gary, So glad you're tapped in. You've embarked on an incredible journey with finding, operating and maintaining a really awesome dream. You're going to find mooneyspace to be a really great resource. Don't hesitate to ask questions just like you did on any number of subjects. You'll be amazed how smart and resourceful these guys (and gals) are. Welcome aboard Captain. Charlie Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I hear you. I found it hard to believe 5 seconds useful consciousness myself until I saw training videos that show what I say to be true. I tried to find them on YouTube to no avail but I saw with my own eyes a video where a guy goes from completely conscious to night night in 5 seconds in an rapid decompression video. Made me a believer. Probably the reason for the FAR that mandates one pilot at the controls be continuously on supplemental oxygen FL410 and above.

You mean this one? I think it owns me though. [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it's highly probable that if one goes unconscious due to lack of oxygen it becomes more then a little nap till a lower altitude. I would think the brain shuts down and there's no coming back and that happens fairly quickly. When we practice high-dives from FL430, (simulating loss of pressurization) if the oxygen masks don't deploy or activate by pulling the mask to your face, people will die. That's why in the safety briefings they say put your own mask on before helping others. At those altitudes useful consciousness is about 5 seconds. Even diving at Mach snot takes several minutes to get to thick air. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So incredibly sad. By all appearance our fellow mooney space brother had the skill and the equipment to fly in the flight levels and IFR. I don't want to diminish his or anyone else's ability but say this from the perspective of a guy that flys for a living. I wouldn't do what some of you guys do with a whole lot less experience. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Your risks go way up when things go wrong. In this case Michael was in thin air, weather, single pilot, one motor, time pressures and probably oxygen issues. Even for Chuck Yeager that's a lot!! It's so seductive to have these planes with all the incredible capabilities. It's very seductive to catch a nice tailwind and get above weather up high but not without risk. Let this tragedy serve as a reminder that we all need to get honest about the exponential risks of flying high, near mountains, in ice, at night or low IFR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know how to setup a wigwag switch for the led lights? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Grasshopper, I want to encourage you but also warn that the airplane junkyards are littered with mooney's and other complex airplanes that each have a sad story that is based on too much too soon. I'm in the camp of go for it "if" your are humble enough to spend ample time under the mentorship of a sage mooniac instructor (not a snot nose time building cfi that doesn't know mooney's) who will spend the time in the air and on the ground teaching you primary stuff but also the nuances of a mooney. If it was me, I would immerse myself and live and breathe flying for about a month. A mooney can be a little temperamental but very predictable and eager to please. (Sounds like my first girlfriend) I would hope you are a hands on kind of guy with a hanger and a willingness to pick up some stuff like airplane jacks, torque wrench, basic tools and a bunch of different lubricants, filters and hardware. If the plane doesn't already have one, better get a descent engine analyzer in the budget. Not too early to start figuring out how to take care of your investment and do it efficiently. For gawd sake stay tapped into mooneyspace. There is a wealth of knowledge here and so many are willing to guide you. All you have to do is ask. Personally, I've let CFI expire long ago but I'm still a very capable instructor. I'm certain there are many among us who would be happy to have a grasshopper join us on our mooney journeys in exchange for a little fuel or a cool frosty. Good luck in whatever you decide.

Reading some of these posts on ALPA, it's easy to come away with a really bad taste. While I don't agree with everything ALPA does, (including this issue) they do A LOT of good things too. Collective bargaining for better work rules, pay and safety is their primary imperative but their political objectives include lobbying to keep our skies safer. My point is ALPA isn't all bad and members of ALPA don't necessarily agree with every ALPA position. From where I stand, ALPA does way more good then harm. Charlie Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow! I'm convinced I've got to do this after that summary. I'm going next year for sure. Charlie Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
