Guy, Any hopes of intake ducts for the Mooney line up, opportunity knocking. Clarence

Isn’t it time for Gee Bee to start making these? Clarence

Calgary: Piper Navajo lands on city street
M20Doc replied to Dan at FUL's topic in Miscellaneous Aviation Talk
The voice I heard on the news sounded like a female, not a male. Don’t know if it was a two crew operation. Clarence -
Need advice: overhaul high time engine that is running fine before selling?
M20Doc replied to SpeedyJoe's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
It’s like painting and replacing the carpets for the next owner. When the time comes sell it as is. Clarence -
I noticed that too, I didn’t think anyone even did channel chrome cylinders anymore? Clarence

From the C model type certificate here are the approved governors. I don’t know if a Garmin is the same as the Edo Air?

I’m not sure, you’ll have to phone Ron and ask. Clarence

I’ve seen several calipers crack at the tapered pipe threads at the fittings. Clarence

Shoulder harnesses installed!

I hate the be critical of your metal working skills but that is a horrible looking cut out. More effort is needed in smoothing the edges and adding a radius to the corners. Sharper jagged edges are the start of cracks. Clarence -
I’m guessing you’re missing the humour of WD40? Clarence

How would you find your carrier if you are airborne for some time and it steams away some distance? It’s position isn’t on a chart. Does it have its own VOR for you to find it, assuming you could be hundreds of miles away and out of radar coverage? I can understand that once within radar range you can be vectored through an arrival pattern to final, does it transmit an ILS. Clarence

Your GNS 480 will make it even easier. Clarence
-
I understand this for IFR over land, but how do you Navy guys fly IFR out at sea during carrier ops? Clarence
-
Yes, but they are becoming quite busy now that everyone send their pumps to them. Clarence
-
Except that the wing is loaded to the negative G which is much lower than the positive G limit. Clarence

Looking for a Canadian registered mooney
M20Doc replied to digits's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
Apex Aircraft in Toronto has a number of F models listed. Clarence -
Perhaps the contact cleaner damaged them, have you heard of WD40? Clarence

There are two J models for sale on the field I’m located on. One is listed here, it’s a 1978, Owned by Steve Dawson, the other is a 1981, pm me for details. Clarence

The IO550-N engine in the Cirrus SR22 has the highest rate of cylinder cracking of any engine I’ve seen in my 35 years of maintenance. The airframe is not a problem. I think that Cirrus would sell even more if they installed a nice grey Lycoming engine. Clarence

Expected approximate cost for prop overhaul
M20Doc replied to tfagin's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
Yes, that or the fact that the market is so small there is only enough work for only a few shops. Clarence -
Perhaps he doesn’t know it’s a retractable? Clarence

M20Doc replied to Paul - M20C's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
Paul, I would drain/check the sumps. check the fuel caps for O ring condition and sealing. SB M20-229A applies to caps and O rings. take a rubber hose and hold it over the vents under the wing and blow by mouth into the tank, you should hear air enter the tank with the cap removed. Check the gascolator for contamination. Drain the carburetor bowl, and check the carburetor inlet screen. Clarence -
This guy still repairs them. http://kx170b.com/ Clarence

That would take some special skills to put the belt on inside out. Clarence
