Thanks Hank. Mine are hydraulic on my 68 with the 125mph POH speed.

Here is my big question. I just help resurrect a 67 M20 F. It gives 105 mph as flap speed in one document and 125 mph in another. I have a 68 G and poh says 125 mph. Did something change structurally between 67 and 68??? Look to hear fro the experts

Remember it is loading dependent. The cg will determine the exact trim required. We don’t have a chart like large aircraft so we have use the TLAR method. I’d rather be a little nose down than a lot nose up. Only takes a seconds to adjust on rotation.

Just flew an F. One place it says 105mph in another 125 like my G. What’s the story? I heard it changed between 67 and 68. Was it a mod or just a pub correction ??

Pilot mall sells the POH. Not the best manual compared to newer aircraft. I bought one to have at home.

Anyone ever used Wilkerson Tires ????

I have little red buttons on my ptt which is attached to a plate screwed to the yoke. The buttons pop off and then you are left with a pin you push. It works but not the most comfortable. Anyone know a source for the buttons. I ordered several recently but they don’t fit. Thanks

Cole has great reputation. I have used Preciscion in Manning and Freddie is excellent. I currently use Koening at KCDN. Small shop but one of the best mechanics I have ever known. I’m and old guy with quite a few rodeos under my belt. Saluda has a nice small shop as well as KCUB.

Just ordered a few little caps to pop back on my PTT - which is almost a needle w/o the little button from RS services

A totalizer will not indicate a fuel leak. Unlikely but it can happen

I think I have written about this before but my ww2 B24 pilot dad was flying from SC to MO years again in his Bonanza and saw the fuel gage in the right tank on E. Made a precautionary landing in Chattanooga. The fuel drain cock had broken off and the tank was indeed dry. No FF monitor would have caught this. I have an old G model Mooney and would like to get my gages wiring better. Anyone know a good shop that specializes in tuning up the old stuff ??? Thanks and fly safely

Have replaced the oil cooler once since 68 G model purchased in 2013. The housing around the cooler has had lots of work done over the years. I see a 6 inch beef plate on one side. I am finishing the annual and A n P had to make bracket for one of the bolts to beef it up. We suspect the weight of the oil and all the vibration contributes to this area getting beat up.

Thanks

Do all m20s have two senders per tank ?? I have a 68 M20G. I’ve sent the inboards out for work before. Thanks.

While we are on fuel gages do all m20s have two senders per tank?? I have a M20G. 1968 model. Thanks
