  1. Thanks! That was what I was thinking... remove the headliner and hope for the best.
  2. Okay, I got the Alpha mounting kit from Spruce and the Hooker shoulder harnesses themselves. So, today I pulled the window trims out and got to work... Took me all of about five minutes to get the passenger side mount installed, but the pilot's side is turning into a real pain in the posterior!! Has anyone done this and know any 'tricks' as it's getting close to me running out of four-letter words? The damn thing just won't slide around the frame tubing without the mount 'ear' hanging up on the roof above the tubing. Any advice, help, new four-letter words would be appreciated!
  3. Really sorry to hear of all your issues on a new to you plane. I'm a new M20F owner myself and, knock on wood, I've not had any avionics issues. I'm going to be the heretic here and suggest you get a quote on having the transponder fixed. And, at least have them take a look at the GPS issue. As a new owner we need to FLY our planes awhile before having them AOG for expensive upgrades Since I haven't had avionics issues I have no first hand experiences, but have heard Affordable Avionics at Chino is good.
  4. BINGO! Again, be careful what you demand.
  5. Best post in the whole damn thread, IMHO. Those that think their PPI/annual fee entitles them to free repairs regardless of what is later found are really looking for a cheap "extended warranty" Not the way it works. And, if pushed we may find ourselves without mechanics even willing to touch our 40 year old planes. Be careful what you demand.
  6. Thanks, everyone. I'm going to order up the Hooker fixed type and the Alpha clamps.
  7. Has anyone LEGALLY installed these as a minor mod without having to go through pull-test/structural analysis? I've tried to read up on the Advisory Circulars and Policy Letter, but am still a bit unclear if these can be installed legally. I don't think Hooker has an STC for Mooneys, and I don't want to stumble down the Field Approval path... Thanks in advance
  8. KSBP sounds good to me, but I'd be up for any of the suggestions!
