    Adding to @Andy95W post above, toothbrushes work well for cleaning seams and tight places. The one thing I wouldn't use is paper towels (you'll never get rid of the lint), use lint free cloth for cleaning. Use good automotive grade masking tape and masking paper (NO newspaper, rips too easy). Once it's ready to start painting, wipe it down one last time with thinner followed by a tack cloth

    Make sure if you get someone outside of the aviation industry that they understand the process fo prepping aluminum and corrosion treatment if needed

    Another issue at higher altitudes is getting dehydrated, so roll that into the mix too

    If your carpet is oil stained or dirty, take it out and go to the car wash, lay it out to fully dry and re-install.

    Get the speed under control, your touch down point is going to be further down so floating past even more runway could put you in the giggle weeds

    Spray on bed liner is very thick (0.100"+), any corrosion that started under it would be hidden until it's too late. And like @gsxrpilot said, it's weight. As a side note, most people tend to apply paint way too thick, which leads to chipping, cracking and peeling and getting to do it all over again in just a few years

    Most of the welding supply companies offer medical grade gasses as well, at least for O2, N2o and Argon.

    I call dibs on black for the wheel wells, I don't want to have to repaint mine

    That's a lot of extra carpet

    My mistake, lol.... I need a bigger screen on my phone or new glasses, or both

    I know you said "NO CRAP" but there are regulations that need to be followed. Hypoxia isn't something to mess with, 91.211 is the rule but it is possible to start getting the effects Hypoxia sooner. As been mentioned above, get a meter and monitor your O2 level, everyone handles altitude differently. §91.211 Supplemental oxygen. (a) General. No person may operate a civil aircraft of U.S. registry— (1) At cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet (MSL) up to and including 14,000 feet (MSL) unless the required minimum flight crew is provided with and uses supplemental oxygen for that part of the flight at those altitudes that is of more than 30 minutes duration; (2) At cabin pressure altitudes above 14,000 feet (MSL) unless the required minimum flight crew is provided with and uses supplemental oxygen during the entire flight time at those altitudes; and (3) At cabin pressure altitudes above 15,000 feet (MSL) unless each occupant of the aircraft is provided with supplemental oxygen.

    Hmmm? I guess I've been lucky, I've ordered 2 sets, 1 for the Mooney and 1 for the Cessna and didn't have any issues with either

    Hard to believe this could happen, Noe Hernandez was a native of Weslaco TX (T65) were I keep my plane, small town of about 38k....

    Electrical is easy, the hard part is putting the smoke back in what ever it came out of
  15. RLCarter
    Very nice
  16. RLCarter
    Where are you seeing water?

    Welcome aboard, Mooney's are great aircraft, not sure how they would be for Alaska. High wing, fixed gear seems to be more of the norm, we both will see what others have to say.

    The the only thing I would add is to stagger the connectors so that you don't end up with a bulge

    Jackscrew is is most likely, but to answer yout question there is a friction lock, it's #14, access is from in the cabin
  20. RLCarter
    1 main rigging tool and 1 nose rigging tool is all that is needed, assuming you have a dial type torque wrench (0~300 in lb)
  21. RLCarter
    Maybe Ford offers a STC?
  22. RLCarter
    Can you measure distance with time, shouldn't you use the longitude? All I know is he has flown a long ass way and I don't like tomatoes

    Pilot side clamp for the shoulder strap is a Double Sum Bitch., was able to get it installed with out removing the side windows, I almost ran out of ways to string swear words together. As for being cinched in tight, I leave my shoulder strap loose untill right before I line up for take off, loosen it up at around 1500 agl, then tighten it back up when entering the pattern.
  24. RLCarter
    nice find..easy fix. Might consider posting on the same thread where you had the issue, kinda completes it if you know what I mean
  25. RLCarter
    The only thing I can see is to remove the inspection panel, drill out the rivets in the filler neck and rotate the neck, then put it all back together....another reason mine is still clocked funny
