Innoviator - Flight Science (www.innoviator.com) is soliciting interested Mooney Flyers for a STC panel upgrade that will look similar to the attached photo.

Good Evening Mooneyspacers How are you? Innoviator - flight science (www.innoviator.com) performs gear swings per Service Manual 32-31-06. We support aircraft at four points (2 wing jacks, tail tiedown weight, engine loop support) during swings, and substantiated by the following: If one considers the M20j is 2740 gross wgt. and most fwd aircraft c.g. is locate at 45", then 90 lbs of horizontal stab down load is applied when flying straight and level. That means if the tail hook structure load path is capable then 90 lbs can be hung as the tail weight mimics flight loading. Next, determining engine loop load is by simply considering the wing jacks as a fulcrum, then solve for the moments. We get 200 lbs and have verified with a load cell. Lastly 200 lbs is less than the weight of the engine statically. Hope this is useful information. Steve

Thank You Gentlemen, Very good explanations.. steve -
Manifold Pressure line.....weep hole

Does anyone have an explanation for a MAP line weep hole? Typically weep holes are near the bottom of lines, not the top. -
Radio Static Problem
steve@innoviator.com replied to steve@innoviator.com's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
TO DonMuncy See initial post 1-26-14 and attached photos Discrepancy: Noticed radio static during run-up, after annual completion. Apparently, at some point maintenance crimped the wiring common to the Master Switch terminals.. Thanks steve -

Thanks Mooneyspace Folks, Radio Static problem fixed.....and no noticeable radio static during LED Landing Light on. Sincere Thanks -
Radio Static Problem
steve@innoviator.com replied to steve@innoviator.com's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
Thank You Folks, Great feedback...... To: N201MKTurbo I agree, and I will order a new Master Switch with terminals having screws. For a switch as important as the master switch, it should be a standard electrical practice To: Bumper I do use an equivalent to DOW DC4. I will pay attention to Radio Static while operating the LED landing light......and report back to you. To jlunseth: Thank you...I did try the squelch switch, and it did not remedy the problem. Sincere Thanks to all responses...I appreciate your insights Steve -
Good Evening Mooneyspace folks, Discrepancy: Noticed radio static during run-up, after annual completion. Background: "high low volts" problem discovered during night landing 4/10/2013 (discovered 24V landing light installed in 14V system, R & R with PMA LED Landing Light. Replaced voltage regulator, Oil Pressure system and Fuel Pressure system amplifiers, CHT and probe R & R’d….returned to service 5-11-2013 (cost $3500) "high low volts" problem 1/13/2014 (see Annunciator Troubleshooting) Radio Static Repair: After researching Mooneyspace, several forum posts recommended checking master switch first for corrosion. While inspecting for corrosion all “male terminals” on back of switch were clean. However one “female” terminal appeared burnt at locations where previous maintenance had crimped vinyl heat shrink. The wire run appears to go to voltage regulator Notes from attached photos: 1) Burn marks common to crimped locations 2) Discoloration of 0.25” female terminal connection 3) No discoloration of 18 AWG wiring. (0.1 milliohms) 1-27-14, I will install new pre soldered AWG 18 terminal end and heat shrink to R & R wire terminal end. Question: Has anyone else seen burnt wiring and do you know what the root cause was? Thank You Steve

Good Day Mooneyspace folks, I look forward to any insights related to the following issue: Fresh annual, engine run-up to validate a tachometer replacement. Prior to engine shutdown, noticed "high low volts" flashing on annunciator panel (s/n 24-1580, 14v electrical system). Problem fixed by replacing female electrical terminal at Master Switch. Thanks
