  1. @Htmlkid I sent you a PM. I have one if you are looking for a replacement!
  2. I would say the issue is you are in FULL Fire Breathing Dragon Mode. I never flew mine for long periods of time in full fire breathing dragon mode. Even though it says max continuous is 27.5 inches of MP doesn't mean you have to run it like that. Your oil pressure is right in line for how you are running the engine in my opinion. Oil temp 215, #3 Cyl 398 and TIT 1410 all indicate your everything in your engine while "are within spec" but on the higher side of normal would force you oil to be hotter and thinner thus pressure would be on the lower side. There are better experts than me, but I would run mine at 25 to 26 inches of MP (most of the time lean of peak) and my cyl temps were always under 350 usually like in the 300 - 330 range. Simply my experience in my old M20F with a RayJay Turbo (I am not sure of your brand of turbo in your J model which of course has the better cowl etc).
  3. https://www.controller.com/listing/for-sale/203761075/1976-lockheed-jetstar-ii-jet-aircraft You can still own one!
  4. Here are my two mods I did in order on my 1963 C (pictures of the C are in my profile) Mod #1 - 1976 F model with turbo normalizer Mod #2 I Just did a couple months ago 1994 Ovation with 310 HP STC I couldn't resist. Your post was: Created this post to have everyone share their M20C mods, and pictures. Show them off and let me know which ones you would do again and which ones you wouldn't. Just though I would let you know they both worked very well and highly recommend them. If you can skip mod one and go straight to mod two even better.
  5. Sorry if I missed something, but what is the difference in the 3 units? At least for our planes I know that anything is better than nothing but for such a minor cost difference just makes me think well just buy the best? I bought the classic version but left it as part of my F model that I sold and now need to add one to my new plane. $139, $159, $169? or the Classic version at $129, $149, $159?
  6. Just looked at controller for my usual every once in a while check in to see what is in the market. WOW WOW There are currently only 54 Mooneys listed????? That is half of the number of normal listings!
  7. I was going to add to the thread earlier that says.... REMEMBER everything is for sale. I just closed on mine at the end of Dec. A 310 hp O without A/C or FIKI though. I would resale it for the right price (However, as you can imagine I would be asking well above market value...LOL). After a very extensive pre-buy I think I have a purchased a phenomenal bird and I am sure you will enjoy your new O and congrats.
  8. So my question is a cost benefit etc comparison between twin GI275's vs 7 inch G500TXi or the 7 inch G3X Touch (not to mention the 10 inch) or the Aspen/Dynon Products?. Did you consider these options?
  9. Just FYI... I was taught to avoid using the AP disconnect switch as much as possible because they have a tendency to break off in your hand. The use a quick hit of the trim tab does the same thing and those are not as fragile.
  10. I do not know if anyone can even count the number at KDWH. If someone has a count for DWH I would be interested to know.
  11. I am not sure how to edit the title, but CONTRACT PENDING!
  12. @Ryan ORL Here is a thought with that budget. My 76 F add the GFC 500 and you will have a great plane and be well under budget.
  13. I said I would add more pictures. The one flying was Wednesday this week near Waco.
