    Make sure headset and miscellaneous cords are up over controls so you don’t get tangled up in these while exiting and entering. Door all the way open facing forwards your left foot steps all the way into left side of cockpit then lower oneself down and slide in pulling your other leg into position. I do it so often and I’m six foot tall. I have to make a you tube of the various ways to get in and out of this machine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Either the brake cylinder or caliper. Have you checked the hydraulic reservoir level ? I would suspect since your hearing the sounds in pedal actuations that you brake cylinder need attention. Could be air in it if somehow the level became low but not likely since reservoir is plenty big for system. Check level first though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wouldn’t sweat that unless you caused a problem with traffic. ADS-B is not widely referenced by ATC yet. All depends on which airport and their disposition. Never hurts to talk to them. B airspace is the one you need to stay clear or be cleared. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Citation X I fly now has a pressurized baggage compartment. I’d flow CJs for 23 years and no problems with water in nose and sodas. I always kept crew bags in nose and pax bags in tail baggage compartment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Robinson had tanks behind passengers at shoulder level. In the event of very hard crash fuel would be all over occupants. Not sure it’s of much crash safety in a Mooney perhaps it might be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Check current draw and if abnormal replace switch. LED bulb used much less current so an old Klixon switch can normally power an LED and not pop open. As posted by pervious posts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Overhaul don’t mess around with your mags unless your a reputable shop. That’s the heart of your machine. You’ll be glad when it’s up and running smoothly. Money well spent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any good mechanic should be able to help you and you deductions sound spot on. Start with cleaning injectors. I’m in Camarillo CA so no local recommendations for Manchester NH. Best of luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    There is only one impulse coupling on left mag. The fact that the right position will allow you to go to start seems odd and I don’t think it should. Sounds like switch is worn. If that switch allowed you to crank it over in left only it would start. Don’t try it in right only because if you do get a spark from the mag at cranking RPM it will fire at about 20 degrees before top dead center. It will then kickback and might get an induction fire. Only crank in both. All sounds okay as long as you don’t try to start in right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Higher RPM = more power Think you have 400 more power cycles per min happening at 2700 versus 2500 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
