  1. And here is the rest of the story. great guesses too
  2. Down to D. Maxwell's place a few days ago and He has this strange Mooney part out back. Anyone know what it is?
  3. I was ferrying a Mooney from Herrera in downtown Santo Domingo to Cap-Haiten, Haiti. It is a trip of less than an hour and I had a local passenger along who I had given the normal warning of go to the bathroom before we leave. Oh NO I am ok he said. We were about 15 minutes before landing when he said "I have to go no. 2" I said we will be on the ground in just a few minutes but he could nor wait. He found a paper bag and hung his butt over the back of the rear seat. In my life I have never smelled such a stink. My face was totally framed in the vent window but that was not sufficient. Upon landing at Cap-Haiten he wrapped it up and placed it into a trash can by the decrepit old fence. I tried to avoid looking at the kids that normally hang around there looking for any discarded articles they can use.
  4. i have good flaps for this along with a used hartzell hcc2yk jerry 423 231 3491

  6. ooops next week durned autocorrect
  7. am listing next an F, two E and a C. all very nice and sensibly priced.Jerry 423 231 3491
  8. I fly mostly airplanes now with problems. On any takeoff I do in one that has a chance of engine failure {don't remind me they can all quit}. i get off the ground and with a little altitude i make a slight turn to the right and climb out pretty steep but always keeping speed. When sufficient distance from the runway I parallel it. If the engine quits while I have enough runway left to get back on it is simple to line back up and set down. If not enough to do that then i have enough behind me to get back there. I am always watchful for loss of engine and immed. push the nose over to keep my speed and with the nose down a 180 is easy and safe. Done it quite a few times and never a problem or question I was going to make it.
  9. Last new prop I bought was a Hartzell HC C2YK-7666-2 COST $850 NEW. Still looking for another one but in the last 45 years still haven't found one. Still lookin
  10. picked up an arrow out of a cornfield. Windshield broke. pulled 2 bushels of corn ears out of it.
  11. Just nt through exactly what you are experiencing now. You have to Call vantage and give them an n number and Tonya will match it up for you. Their parts pages are all xvdtykdy
  12. $450 for flap for your airplane
  13. With Bob and Coy and Kevin gone it looks like the whole crew is no more. Worst thing about getting old is that you keep losing your friends..
  14. any idea WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOODIES AT HIS SHOP?

  17. Does anyone know how to contact Bob Meyers of Wymauma Fl? He is the gentleman who started all the Mooney mods. Coy worked for him. jerry 423 231 3481 pressleyjerry@aol.com
  18. send please pressleyjerry@aol.com
  19. You ae a good idea but I fond out that wont work . I have one scheduled to go to the Dominican Republic to be painted. I did an international operations registration on it. Did the red ink and all required. They informed me that if the registration had expired it cannot be done that way. In the case of n5783D it had expired. So for those that do not take serious the re-register required periodically the you are grounded until the 3 months or so that it takes now for registration. Ad hauling a 21 is not as simple as a earlier one. Longer so engine removal in some cases. lots of avionics stuff to be routed through that 1 inch hole n front of the bay access cover.
  20. Cant get a ferry permit till it is registered. FAA keeps asking for same information over and over. They say they now are in a position to register it but of course the paperwork went to the bottom of the pole again. They are running 3 months minimum behind so sometime in November it will leave Morristown, TN. And they have a new system for issuing a ferry permit. Done online now and even more complicated. 3 airplanes on this one little airport sitting unregistered because faa is working out of home and communication between workers screwed up. I am sorry for those folks who make a living buying and selling as it is almost impossible to move one legally now. Regs require you to immediately send in your old registration and must be registered in your name in order to get a ferry permit if needed and minimum 3 months wait. Of course some of us think that the plane doesn't know if registration is onboard. Other option?????
  21. any idea on shipping to usa on ailerons?
  22. i have a step and since yours did not originally come with the crank is best to use the electric retract $100 for step jerry 423 231 3491
