C&K 16amp SPST switches available at any electronics retailer (digikey, mouser,etc).

No, the problem is the space the extra switches will take up. FYI, The long body Mooneys have a larger (higher) panel, mid and short bodys don’t.

I went with modern mini rocker switches, and there’s plenty of room for CBs without old legacy engine gauges.

The GFC 507 doesn’t use the high speed bus, neither does any of the original experimental boxes (G3X, GDL50, G5), I think there’s a GAD 29B box in there as well. I put in a AV20S to serve as a tertiary AI backup, it’s completely self contained and doesn’t require any Garmin connections.

That’s about a 120% inflation rate. But if you need it…although I don’t think many are going to do the 1000 hour service just because.

Probably, I wonder why?

Flightaware shows this tail number belongs to a Cessna 310 and hasn’t flown since 2006. So that brings up a lot of questions. Such low hours (41 hours per year) is not considered a good thing. Asking prices have dropped about 7% since last year, but it’s not like the market has crashed.

I use a cable tie, the fat end I think will prevent it from falling in. Also you’ll need a small funnel if you don’t want to make a mess.

I would keep the stripes/secondary colors off handles and control surfaces, to reduce extra weight on the surfaces and touch up around the handles easier.

Some don’t even have that, just have to have something soft to rest it on if doing it singlehanded.

You’re assuming it’s about the facts, the jury pool will probably hate the airport too. I can see it now, the slick lawyer during summation, “lead is harming the children and these 1%ers are literally poisoning them with their toys….”

Maybe the mechanic had very little Mooney experience, so did it by the book without any shortcut knowledge. I imagine a experience Mooney mechanic could do it in less time.

Yes, but you’ll need it lowered because of the left side of the panel turns down, probably to the yoke shaft cutout. Cut a piece of cardboard of the same dimensions and verify for yourself, or there’s a pdf you can print life size copies. Also having it shifted to the right makes it easier to work with, my left hand flies, my right hand does all the avionics controls. I didn’t want to have to the yoke interfere with my right arm.

Mine isn’t, but it does result in the HSI being centered when in dual screen mode, which I always use. This was by choice, it also allows me to push it up higher.

My case had a crack (it was leaking oil) around the alternator area, was told it couldn’t be repaired due to location and size. I just bit the bullet and got a new one. The difference between a reconditioned one and new was about $1000, I thought it was a no brainer, also had a new camshaft installed.
