@DXB thanks for youre post , it was of great help. Will take all tips in consideration towards my flight . Any specific ,good And well priced pre heaters to buy? Going to sun n fun and ill take a look at those . thanks Bruce

@bluehighwayflyer thanks . The previous owner scalped both landing gear doors in order to get a more acessable angle when putting air into the tires . Brake line is fine ots just a bit longer in order to have some margin if streched out buy any problems and brake lose . It has come like this since I bought it . had questioned the mechanic before but thats the answer I got. safe flights Bruce

thanks hank , appreciate your help. i was reading other forums and some say all engines do need pre heat under 30F including wind chill factor . Is this temperature correct? Some prefere to prime other than pumping as lycoming does not recomend pump staring. Thanks , youre info was great . Safe flights Bruce

Good evening fellow mooney pilots . Id like to hear some tips and opinions about cold weather ops with a M20B. I do have some concerns about my mooneys. “Carb air” , does it only work as a secondary “normal” air option ? or does it relocate heated air? how would this alternative air system work in cold weather ops? I live down in Brazil , never had a problem w building up ice in my carb. Im looking forward to fly down to Bariloche, Argentina mid june where temperatures are between 46/30 F. Usually it starts to snow at this time of year . I would love to hear and understand better about the “carb air” .Any tips and opinions regarding cold weather ops in my O-360-A1D are welcome . Thanks for your kind help safe flight Bruce

Thanks friends it was of great help. Just found the part at a repair shop here in Brazil . fly safe best regards Bruce

@carusoam thanks for youre post , Ill check the out . Im in Brazil , if I cant find it here then I will get in contact with lasr. best regards Bruce

@Andy95W thanks for youre post. The problem on mine refers to the bearing end on parts 20 and 16 displayed on the parts sheet . Is it possible you could post another snapshot of this parts catalouge without the red circling so I can make sure its either 16 or 20? And the part. number for those .Thanks Andy it was very helpufl best regards Bruce

Hello folks , Does any one know where can I buy this ball link that somehow got bent on my M20B’s nose gear. It joins the gear to the jhonson bar . Thanks

Thakyou all , sharing a bit of your experience up high was of great help . safe flights. Bruce

Hello Fellow mooney pilots I would love to hear from other B or C model owners regarding performance. I have a 355 NM trip on monday and looking forward to fly 9500 or 11500, anyone who has flown at 11500 could share their performance experience. Thankyou Safe flights. Bruce

Hello friends, Coming back once again to hear from you all.This time regarding B models endurance. For B model owners what would be a safe endurance at 9,500-10,500 ft with correct leaning? Iv never flown more than 2 hours in my B model.Would like to know whats safe to fly, can a B fly 380 NM on its MTOW , top off and considering a 10kt headwind? thankyou my friends Fly Safe.

Thanks , I have to agree 100mph is easy to remember in case of an emergency.. Ill try power offs with this speed. thankyou

Thankyou for the advice, I will be looking at the C model POH on the downlod section. Do you know if there are any ruddder differences on the B towards the C? thanks Bruce

thankyou my friends .. apprreciate your time to help me out . Ill take a look at the M20C poh and jot down the 100mph glide speed. The mais gear doors probably were cut out to have easier handling while filling up the tire with air . thanks Bruce

nice one..

Hello Friends, I own a 1962 M20B . Have it for 5 months and still looking for precise speeds. Can any member help me with the Best Glide speed for this B model?If anyone has a Speed table will also help.The Manual is to old and with incomplete speed description. Thanks to all Bruce.
