It could be connected to a gtx 345r if one is installed.

Yes. It will have the same drain and housing as the main tanks now.

Price should be $4,995 for all kits. It does not have to be installed by a specific shop however there are a few people who have done them before and it is recommended to have someone with experience in Mooney fuel tanks do the work.

The long range fuel tanks have been brought up a few times lately and I wanted to let everyone know the STC is going to continue to be available. Don Maxwell Aviation along with a partner has purchased the STC from Jose and is currently putting kits together to be available by the end of the year. Our current run of kits will be a total of 30 and if you’re interested in purchasing a kit you can contact myself at Don Maxwell Aviation or Kellen Kester at (812) 240-6223. We hope to have these available as soon as possible.

72 gallon tanks. It was a k model wing bolted where the short body mooneys were attached. It has a Porsche tail cone and a mustang tail.

300hp at 2700rpm. We are looking at mag options now.

Engine is overhauled. Can’t wait to fire this thing up.

About 600 feet. He turned 45 degrees and landed on the other runway.

Still learning about it. Tom Bowen said they didn’t get the contract because the roll rate was not high enough and later they tested some other positions with the friese ailerons which allowed a 7 second roll rate but caused the airplane to be dangerous at slow speeds. The airplane was flown after Tom and some other employees put it back together. It was flown regularly by some of the Mooney employees. The configuration it is currently in would be too dangerous and it will be either converted back to the slower roll rate or maybe even a regular aileron and flap. We are still waiting on more data to make that determination.

We picked up the Mooney predator this weekend so we can make it fly again. Out of all of the restoration projects we’ve done this will probably be the most exciting Mooney we’ve worked on and I’m going to keep this thread updated with our progress as much as I can. With the help of some former and current Mooney employees who have worked on it we hope to have it flying soon with maybe a few updates along the way and hopefully those who have dreamed of fly it will get a chance.

I don’t think it’s available for the bravo. It does support the 4.9 terrain database which is required when you upgrade. It has the software where you can add the Mid continent SAM backup instruments and a the keypad. Also the gdl 69a Sxm. Flight stream software was not included unfortunately.

Plane has tks. Poh explains difference in blue pitot heat lights and amber lights.

Mooney owns it. It can be bought and installed through a service center. List price is $799.

Its finally available for those interested.

Looks like the elevator controls need to be checked. If there is just a little resistance in the controls it will cause the trim Servo to kick in to relieve the tension on the elevator servo. Most of the time this resistance is due to dirty or dry yoke shafts. Moisture in the static line is also a common reason for oscillations. I’d lube the yoke shafts and go try it. Then check for moisture.

Full refunds will be given this next week for the convention. Rooms will be Refunded through the hotel. If there are any problems getting the refunds call our office and talk to me I’ll make sure it gets taken care of. Paul Maxwell 9036439902

Looks like it’s at the splice plate where the inner spar connects to the outer spar. It’s repairable by replacing the spar cap and maybe the doubler. Requires drilling down the bottom wing skins from the belly outward knocking out the huck bolts and drilling out a lot of rivets and detaching everything in the way. We’ve replaced four spar caps in the last year. Although a lot of work at 120-150 hours still cheaper than getting a new wing and transferring it. If you have some questions on it give us a call be happy to give some advice to whoever decides to tackle this.

We repair them for a flat fee of $350.

Surefly is also available for turbocharged engines in the fixed timing mode. The aml covers the engines it has been approved for and the stc tells requirements for advanced timing mode installs. There are dip switches on the timing housing for the various configurations.

Looks like it's only one skin in the picture and dent isn't deep enough to hurt any stringers and was between ribs. That skin is about 1k and takes about 45 hours to replace reseal and paint. Stall switch bracket is probably busted and tab is obviously no good. Probably looking at 5k-7k for repair depending on the stall switch and labor rates much cheaper than a replacement wing.

Amsafe estimates installs will be 4-6 hours. The price $2580 includes both front seat belts with shoulder belts. The sensor has a self test mode and does not need the amsafe test tool for install. The wires are one length only limiting where the sensor can be installed to under the left or right seat. I would suggest installing with nutplates in the floor for easy removal in the future. I asked the rep to join mooneyspace and introduce himself and he said he would. He did say they have a Facebook page and can also answer questions there.

Both GIAS have to be the same. The latest Mooney s/w -34 is only available for WAAS. It is possible to go from -34 to -30 s/w the problem with doing it if needed to be done is the GMU is updated to s/w 2.05 during the -34 update and a GMU loader card has to be used to revert back to s/w version 2.01 for -30 to work. So the Gia 63 nonWAAS does have some value in a worst case scenario.

We have not installed one but the time for install will depend on a two point or three point install and depending on if the current three point mounting bracket can be used. I would guess for two point about 1.5 hours per seat and the three point could be another 30 min if the existing mount is used. One of the sales members gave out the wrong price ($2580 I believe) during Oshkosh and amsafe is sticking with that price as an introductory price and said it will go up in 2019. It also doesn't need the testing equipment so any a&p can install. Here is the install manual. Hope this helps. https://www.amsafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/IM-Installation-Manual.pdf
