  1. We all break rules, have you never broken the speed limit?
  2. How about coating them with grease to make it harder or maybe they wouldn’t want to get their paws greasy?
  3. Buy one if those wildlife cameras that are motion activated, maybe you can catch them in the act.
  4. It’s not OEM and I guess was a repair. OEM are external shielded and the other is internal shielded. Schematic shows extra wire off a starter relay going to another relay, but it’s not labeled
  5. Looking at the starter switch, it looks like one of the magneto (right?) has a thicker wire than the other 20-22 gauge wires, why? The magneto wires go to a small cylinder mounted to the firewall, maybe a capacitor? The starter relay has 2 wires connected to what I call the control terminal, 1 wire would be the starter switch, and the other? Is there a schematic of this circuitry?
  6. Modern avionics all have voltage regulators that’s why they can handle 12 or 24 volt systems. As long as the current is steady it shouldn’t be an issue.
  7. My AV20S reads lower, but not that much.
  8. Wow, I had G3X and 3 servo GFC500 installed for $30K, and that includes new panels. I think the smaller the job, the more the “overhead” costs add up.
  9. If you get a certified EM, you can lose the factory instruments and will have plenty of room.
  10. Find yourself a sports car (corvette, Porsche, etc) and sit in it. If you don’t like the seating position, you won’t like a Mooney.
  11. I live 200 yards from ocean and get surface salt layer on my car, but the airport is about 5 miles inland and it doesn’t seem to get any in normal weather conditions. Salt attracts water so it’s heavy and will sink (dew) which is why you get the surface salt layer. Now if it was tied down during tropical storms that could be a different story. Normally airports insist that all tied down planes be either hangared or flown elsewhere.
  12. When was the last time it was treated with corrosion protection?
