  1. I will post pictures of the baffels soon. I changed them last year. Also, I have a manual cowl lever. I use the JPI 830 so I kinda agree with jlunseth about managing. I will go back to my AME and see what we can do about the fuel flow and also what we can do to open the cowls 1/2 way.
  2. Please do. Thank you!
  3. Would flying with the cowls open hurt the engine. I went flying on the weekend. Cowls close and EGT up to 400 on the #6. Lean the mixture, still increased in CHT. Open cowls to cool down. Temps down to 320 or so but #1 down to 240. Any help/advise JT
  4. Thank you Don
  5. Good day. Hope all is well. Can the M20K have a single instrument panel? I’ve seen a picture here on the forum of a single panel for another model. JT
  6. Hey Hank I have a M20K that I handfly approaches due to a partialy faulty autopilot. I am also a single engine / multi IFR instructor. Send me a pm any time with questions or help. As mention before. This is a tough rating to get. But worth every hour. Good luck and enjoy. JT

  8. Thanks for the info JT
  9. I will go up this weekend ans set the ping to 10min intervals and see.
  10. The spot’s tracking was bang on and reported every 3min. Only thing I can think is that the signal the spot send, over powerd the GPS signal. JT
  11. All the best for 2018 to ya all. I’ve just got back from flying to Mexico/Belize. I have notice that the SPOT( search and rescue tracker) interfere with the GTN650/750. I would turn it on and have the footnote active. A few minutes later I will loose all gps signal and the GPS will tell me to DR. We have moved the SPOT around the inside of the cabin and was able to leave it on the back seat with only one GPS compromised. Have any one else experience the same interference?
  12. 1. Belize 2. Yuma 3. KOSH 4 . Train more students 5. Family fun flying 6. Get my Wife to fly ME places.
  13. Do you have a photo of that installed?
  14. Any thing on the youtube clips. JT
  15. I will look at the spring and see if I can get it tighten.
  16. Any pictures of the mechanism or the coil spring.
  17. Push/pull type. I will look at the spring that is on there.
  18. Hope everyone is geared for the holidays. Plane went in for the annual last week and got her back. Went up for a flight to take her home. Notice that the cowl flaps dont want to stay close in-flight. On the ground I can open and close it but in the air the airflow pushes it open again. Any suggestions? JT
  19. My flights is about 3 hr legs.
  20. I have the GTX33 remote transponder. Im not close to US signals
  21. Not sure if this is the right column. Im trying to see what I can use for traffic and weather on Foreflight or on a GTN650 in Canada. I use a stratusS2 plus looking at a GDL 52. But I cant see if the GDL works with Foreflight nor does the Stratus work up here in Canada. Both devices works great in the States. Any suggestion to get traffic up here. JT
  22. Great. Learning a few things lately.
  23. So that will be the screws on the inside of the cowl. Will get it done tomorrow. Thanks
  24. Good Evening Hope everyone is well. How do I adjust the landing lights on the M20K? The lights look like they have a specific way to get installed and tightend with 3screws. Left side is shining into the future and distance. The right side is shining onto the runway lights. Thanks JT
