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

I think I wrote about this before but with all the fuel used gages out there - I have a JPI - they still will not help if a leak developed in flight. You will not know the quantity in your tank. My dad had a fuel drain break off in flight in a V35 Bo. Made a precautionary landing Chattanooga . All the high tech stuff doesn’t measure quantity. The FAA should be ashamed of the Ricky dink systems they’ve allowed in GA over the years. My GMC Sierra is accurate to 0.1 of a gallon. My M20 G reads so so when it gets low in quantity. I stick my tanks on the pre flight.

I’ve been shopping too. Sticker shock is not the word. About 10k increase from before Covid. I’ve talked with Hawk ,Boss and both 26-27k. There is a shop I’m talking to up in Fountain Inn ,SC called Royalty Aerospace. I have also heard about good shops in Mena, AR. Any info would be appreciated. Also how about interior work. Hawk and Boss provide it.

I want to point out that runway condition comes into play. Wet,icey any clutter reduces your ability to stay on the runway. The airlines have charts that reduce the crosswind limits as surface conditions change for the worse. Be careful

Anyone report on the Caravan this year ???

Thanks

What not use on the Lasar one piece belly ????

Be there Monday and Tuesday. Love to hanger fly. 803-463-6043

Just went thru this about two years ago. Prop strike inspection was 11k overhaul 26k. I went with overhaul as it had been about 20 years SOH. Pinnacle did the work . Very happy

Final NTSB report is out. No corrosion found. Metal was over stressed. Maybe a higher tech guy can post it here on Mooneyspace Suspect spatial disorientation as they exited the cloud in a tight spiral. May have been passed out from g loading which was at 8.

Got a new one about a year ago. Working great

Any good shops out there that know how to tune this relic up. Mine works but does not track nav very good anymore. I know I’m a CB so I don’t want to spend 20k plus on a new autopilot.

I’d do an annual. Much better than a pre-buy. May save a lot down the road. Good luck

Thanks guys
