Pinecone, Somewhere someone posted his accurate filling details. I plotted the results and as expected found that it is definitely non linear - from empty until the bottom is filled, then until the inside rib is filled, then to the top. I worked out some really good quantities to enter into my JPI for maximum accuracy. The idea is to choose calibration points with good linearity between them. IIRC, the JPI allows 5 calibration points, so I have chosen 0,10,25,42.5,52.5 for mine. Have not done it yet. Aerodon

I'm not using this anymore, but it is still quite a useful device. I have a 'bare wire' cable to wire into your airplane power, or I might be able to find the cigar lighter power cable. No battery.

I have a couple of extra kits (new), also a 1/2A CB if you need one. Aerodon

Here, I have one for you, wired up and ready to install. Aerodon supercub180@gmail.com

I just did this 172 with a belt sander / rotary disk sander. there were some residual lines on the inside that I could use as a 'final' target, but just sand / check / sand until you are done. I also managed to use the front drum of the sanding belt to grind away the perimeter of the hobbs rectangle. The round holes were good from the factory. Aerodon

I have several, including one with the wiring harness still attached for a quick replacement. Aerodon

Such a nice plane, put LED's on now.

Paypal. And if you are comfortable with the seller, use the 'no-protection option'. If not, use the protection and suck up the fees, the buyer is getting the protection. Side rant, it amazes me how some people get hung up on small charges in shipping, PayPal fees etc. when buying a nice new or used component typically at a bargain price. Just look at the total and decide if its a deal you want to do or not. Aerodon

You need to look up the gami test to get the gami spread - the difference in fuel flow between the first and last cylinder to peak. I think the target is 0.5 GPH, but it may be less. The MB/SB engines should be good out the box, but Gami can help you refine them. Don

In the M20K, the gear warning CB also powers the gear unsafe horn through the throttle switch. And there are diodes in the wires near the sonalart. Diodes hurt my head. I would look at what is not working and start there: 1) gear unsafe annunciator 2) gear down light 3) gear unsafe horn - via up limit switch 4) gear unsafe via throttle limit switch. I would start with the gear unsafe light, it easiest to access. You are looking for a short to ground. Aerodon

For those of us that want to go above 18,000, I have too many Aerox oxygen masks with microphones. I don't think some of them have ever been used (who takes passengers that high?) ACS has them for $650, I can do $300. I also have repayment 'oxysaver' canulas and associated flow gauges, connectors etc. Let me know what O2 system you have and I can see if I have the right connectors. Aerodon

I'm looking at the KX155/165 IM. If it is wire for a KX155 with glideslope, I am not seeing any extra wiring. The composite output and G/S wires should already go to the KI209. If you install a KI206, then yes, the composite output loops back to the other connecter, and a new set of wires to the KI206. I'm thinking it will work without modification Don

MT Propeller bragged about this too, but it turns out that their props are infinitely repairable as long as you bring infinite amounts of money to completely replace anything that might look like it is thinking of wearing out. Aerodon

I think you are referring to the 'radial indicator' feature. The KX 155 needs an indicator like a KI209 that has the internal decoder. The KX165 has this decoder in the radio, and needs an indicator like a KI206. Last time I looked, I think you can slide a KX165 into a 155 position and it will work. But not the other way around.

Hoot, I have several EDM700's that I have taken in trade on newer systems. If you are on a budget, an EDM700 with fuel flow is still a fine instrument. It does not take up much panel space, you can add quite a few different transducers and there is a future upgrade path to an EDM830 or EDM900. Aerodon

i do have it and it is the correct part number

You are overthinking this - if the engine has 1500 hours, consider it 'almost time to overhaul' and budget accordingly ($70k?). The 252 and 262 are essentially the same performance and weight wise, except the 252 can get the Encore upgrade that is sorely needed (230 lbs) if you want to fly far with one other person. The 252 will have more options installed, speed brakes, standby vacuum, dual alternators etc. These might be on the 262. The price seems pretty good, you will not find a similar 252 for under 180k. Aerodon

A shout out to Scheme Designers. Even if you are duplicating a factory scheme, it is well worth the process of trying different colors and having a spec sheet that you can give to the paint shop. And you can even get paint masks made up. If you are messing around with curved lines, you do not want to rely on the paint shop guy 'eyeballing' it and laying out curves. You will end up with some clunky lines. Aerodon

they are mine now Aerodon

Its on TAP for $295k

This is a 70A alternator for the 252 or Encore with the 2nd alternator. It has been freshly overhauled, tagged and ready to install. The parts manual also shows as an alternate to 649280 (maybe 60 vs.70 A versions?). TCM charts also shows this as a Bravo alternator. Aerodon

I had a bunch of 'NO STEP' 'NO PUSH' 'ELT LOCATED HERE' made at a local sign shop. Also registrations etc. Hardest part is choosing a font and font size, I think Helvetica or Helvetica Bold are the ones to use. This is what I put on my Cessna 172/180 conversions, it was quite hard to find the font that looked like the original 'SKYHAWK II'. Aerodon

The 'go to' documents for this are the Type Certificate, The Supplemental Type Certificate and the Owners manuals, later called the Pilots Operating Handbook. The TC list airspeeds in MPH and Knots from 1955 on. It seems to have everything listed except the stall speed, required to setup your GI-275. Now it gets a little interesting, prior to 1967 there is no requirement for an Owners Manual, so for all intents, whatever you have is an 'information manual' and use it or not at your own discretion. (Sure I would like to have the performance charts matching the ASI units). Then Note 2 lists the Placards, it is very specific, somewhere in the middle of M20J/K production Mooney changed from MPH to Knots. The Placards are very specific, with speeds listed in MPH, but if you had new ones made in MPH (KTS) showing both, I think they would still be acceptable. So because your plane is prior to 1967, I think the installer can use the speeds in Knots, redo the placards to show MPH and Knots. I do not know what stall speeds (with and without flaps) to use, other than converting from your old ASI? Aerodon

OK, here's how I would go about it: According to this thread (below), the 'new engine' is on the Type certificate, check that it is and your serial number is in the correct range. This allows you to install the different engine. Then get a part manual and start comparing your engine installation parts vs. say a late model M20J (hopefully the M20J towards the end of the line had separate magnetos?). Aerodon

I would be worried if the guy doing the installation could not get his head around hoses without a part number. These are normally replaced every 8 years and at engine changes. If the STC is not clear enough, then use the original installation for guidance. Quite probable that things move a round a bit, and easy to order hoses with correct fittings from aero hose shop.
