That’s what I’ve heard as well and it makes me a little nervous about the two 24v regulators in my 252!

You might need to define this issue a little more, because that is potentially normal depending on what you mean. Anytime you change engine power or speed, rudder trim will change. Obviously you need right rudder on takeoff at full power/low speed. But less at full power higher speed. In cruise, you might even need a little left rudder at high kias. In descent, again, left rudder. And then likely neutral rudder on final, slow and configured. Do you mean you have to keep changing it even at a constant speed and power setting?

I can’t make that case, but I also live in a pretty dry place and I was planning to either get a factory reman (roller lifters) A1A or get dlc coated lifters if a factory reman wasn’t possible. Of course many engines had lasted a long time - yours, my A1A was 24 years/60000tt, 1500 soh when i sold it. However, I would personally prefer one of the two “fixes” even though my cam hadn’t been destroyed. How much extra does the dlc cost?

Unless you have an engine with roller tappets, which sounds like you don’t since it hasn’t been OH in 35 years, why wouldn’t you do dlc coated lifters? They have been around a good long time now and seem to help the cam spalling issue.

A bunch of us have been having dns issues with it for maybe two weeks. Where possible, changing dns has fixed it though.

I agree with all of these, but 1 & 3 don’t work together. You have to richen somewhat to do the runup, but it can still be very lean. The bottom line is that for low power settings (like 65% and less), you can’t hurt the engine no matter where you put the mixture as long as you maintain CHTs in proper temp with airspeed (cooling airflow). Doing a lean runup is very low power. It stress tests the ignition better than a full rich runup. Target egt in climb is great. I just descend at cruise power when it’s smooth and enjoy the speed!

Sometimes the minimum radio reception altitude is an issue as well and you don’t always know what it is.

Just make sure you got a thorough check for corrosion. Other than that you can fix most things relatively easily (in airplane terms). Congrats on the new plane!

I think that’s possible too. While I was flying, I messed around with the MP just a little bit while keeping the ff at 10.4 for 65% power. By increasing MP (and thus being further lop), I was able to lower tit by about ~25 degrees. Obviously, you eventually start running rough as you get to the limits of your gami spread or ignition. I was a little surprised that I could manipulate the tit that much while maintaining the same 65% power (and TAS). I didn’t mess with the rpm, but I think lower rpm would also reduce tit.

Over Blackrock desert just north of Reno. Awesome visit with my parents, brother, nieces, nephew, etc. good tailwind down from Spokane to Carson city and back too!

Im still surprised that your tit ends up that high, but maybe Im further lean of peak? Here’s an example from today…

I’ve used both airports in Kalispell, and you’re right to be careful with the downtown one, but it’s not terrible. Well the parking on the “city side” isn’t much more than a three car driveway, but it’s really nice to park and walk across the street to restaurants. I have a nice picture of my wife changing our son’s diaper just behind the wing at that airport! Beautiful mountains there for sure. GPI obviously has more amenities. We have been there twice to get a rental car and get into Glacier NP. Very convenient. I parked over in the self serve area across a (small) taxiway and don’t remember any fuss about fees. The fbo was pretty easygoing with us. Glad you had a smooth flight! Below is at the downtown airport but is not the diaper picture!

Maxwells is doing some tank work as well and they’re in Texas. He could give you a good idea. I’ve also heard that Houston tank specialist is doing mooney tanks but I have no experience with them. What actuator are you asking about? Landing gear no back spring?

You guys are late to the party! I was having this issue on my home (centurylink) internet two weeks ago. Exact symptoms! However, my TmObile cell was working fine. I changed the dns to the google free 8.8.4.4 and all was resolved. Changing the dns of your verizon cell service might be a tad more complicated…

Wait a second, your wife fixed your Mooneyspace for you?!! I have questions…
