  1. http://www.lasar.com/w/id/278/new-plane-details.asp 75 F for $35,000 History Shows a deadstick landing in a field in 1990, but the price is right. Here is another F https://www.eastcoastaerogroup.com/1976-mooney-m20f
  2. It is a nice bird, that is for sure. I just noticed it had the 225 HP STC is all. I am happy with my 1975 F. I'm not interested in "trading up"

  4. What's the cost of a turbo normalizer? I would guess this STC is significantly cheaper
  5. Well, the FAA gave it the okay with a 2,000 hour TBO. Plus, I believe the experimentals have been doing fine with the setup.
  6. Do you find it does a good job cooling? My F has no cigarette lighter so I would have to solve that problem. What size cooler is that?
  7. Does the B-Kool work as advertised? PIREPS?

  11. Just ordered the inspector monitor w the 20% off plus free Shipping.. Thanks!
  12. I have located and purchased two fully articulating seats. Thanks folks for the help.
  13. I have located and purchased two fully articulating seats... thanks for the help.
  14. Welcome from a fellow F owner!
  15. FWIW... The company I fly for allows +10/-0 on the ref speed during a stabilized approach, fully configured, engines spooled on glidepath and course by 1,000 AGL when IMC. No flap changes below 1,000 feet VMC or IMC.
  16. Dodson.com lists one in their inventory.... 30B641-1 SWITCH, TRIM CONTROL MOONEY
  17. OK, that's one blurry picture. It gives me a direction to go in though. Thank you
  18. Has anyone modified their baggage door so as to be able to open it from the inside? I have heard of it being done, but would like to know more if anyone has done it.
  19. georgematthews on here is looking for nose gear doors....
  20. I land with the speedbrakes extended when it's windy. There is little to no floating when you pull the power off, it works quite well..... My F came with speedbrakes when I bought it.....
  21. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mooney-M20F-Wheel-Control-LH-W-Trim-Mic-Switch-P-N-917010-509-/252732067856?hash=item3ad8015010:g:oTsAAOSwNnRYgUZL&vxp=mtr or call Jerry Pressley 423 231 3491 acpartswhse@aol.com or Dan at LASAR.....
  22. F's don't have the dual mags either + 1 for the F.
  23. Well, if I need anti-ice then I will be driving that day. I don't fly my M20 in "challenging" conditions. Dual alternators is an interesting idea. I saw where one can replace the vacuum pump with a small backup alternator, it bolts right in the same spot the vacuum pump used to occupy.. For now I will stick with the vacuum pump setup and 1 alternator. I read on here alternators from Kelly are low quality? Can anyone vouch for that? What brand is best?
  24. Well, the vacuum pump did die on me in November while VMC (thank goodness). Got a vacuum light and a flag so it was obvious. My engine is off the airplane and out for overhaul, so that brought the alternator to my thought process. I just looked through all the logs. Nothing anywhere concerning the alternator, so it may be OEM. It was charging fine prior to the engine removal at least. My mission on the plane is that I will soon use it to commute to work. I will also be flying it out to KRNO this fall. How long do these alternators last? Anyway, thanks for the input. I like the idea of buying one and just putting in the cargo area to avoid waiting a week for one to be shipped should I need one while out west.
  25. You obviously don't fly the Bus at AA with the Flaps 3 nonsense they have going.
