  1. It seems to be .5 -6.0. Let me know if this is what you have. pascu123@yahoo.com
  2. Can you email me your info please so I can contact you directly? pascu123@yahoo.com
  3. Does anyone have a Manifold Pressure / Fuel Pressure gauge combo for a 1962 M20C? Ours have been sticking and would like a functioning one. Thanks in advance!!
  4. Thank you all for your responses and suggestions. I suppose I should have been more clear on where in the Fort Worth area. As it stands right now, I am looking to be in the Keller, Haslet or Roanoke area. I am hoping to make a trip there within the month to look at some properties. Assuming I am in a position to solely own another airplane, I was eyeing Meacham (KFTW) or Alliance (KAFW). I didn't even consider Hicks (T67). So I appreciate that suggestion. I guess I also wanted to get an idea on hangar fees, wait list and maybe any oddities at those airports such as fuel availability or if they close runways often. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Ideally, I would prefer a sole ownership which is why I wanted to look into a good Airport Home Base. However, time, availability to fly and finance suggests that may not be the best idea right away. So if anyone knows or hears of an available share of any airplane, Please keep me in mind. In that case, I understand that I would be at the mercy of their home base. Thanks again for all your helpful input. Ya'll are great!!!
  5. What do you mean by a Hangar Home on the field? If it's what I think it is, are there any for sale at the field? I hope that wasn't a stupid question.
  6. Hello all, I am expecting to move to the Fort Worth, TX area this fall. I recently sold my share of a 1962 M20C. Is there anyone in the area that has been or may consider selling a share of your airplane? It’s doesn’t have to be a C model. What airport is the preferred general aviation base in the area? I suppose I’m just checking out some options or checking to see what’s available. Thank you, Ryan
  7. Thanks Clarence! I appreciate that. That’s very helpful information.
  8. Sorry I’ve been responding all out of order. I’m kinda new to this. I greatly appreciate all the info everyone has given so far. I suppose it would have helped if my initial post was a little more clear.
  9. Thanks Hank! Once we get a chance to convert to oil filter, I’ll definitely refer back to this for reference.
  10. Good to know. Thanks. Sounds like the oil screen is a PITA. Probably why I haven’t been able to find much guidance on oil screen system. Conversion is definitely something to consider in the future.
  11. Thanks for all the info. Any idea on what it takes and a ballpark cost to do a filter conversion?
  12. Sorry, I should have been more clear on the initial post. I have a screen. I was aware of gasket, part #61173. What about the lock washer? Any idea what that part number is?
  13. So, we’re finally getting a hangar. I would like to try and save some money by changing our own oil in our M20C. I notice there’s a handful of discussions that covers the topic but they all seem to be M20E or later that refers to oil filters. Our M20C does not have an oil filter but an oil screen instead. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  14. Hello All, What is the speed limitation of the manual retractable step in a 1962 M20C? Assuming the shop that has my Mooney now will not have the issue resolve by the time I have plans to pick her up. Additionally, I would rather have my regular A&P address the issue. Can I fly her 2-3 hours back home with the retractable step down without causing any additional issues? I have the old manual with minimal information, maybe I missed it but I did not see anything in the manual about speed limitation on retractable step. Thanks in advance, Ryan
  15. I used a label maker. Clear label with black print. Lots of design to choose from. As long as it can fit in the width of label. l I've been tinkering with my panel. I dream some day I can get them redone. For now, remove vinyl, spray paint, relabel.
  16. Has anyone installed a rudder pedal boots from Aero Comfort? I have recently ordered a johnson bar boot and rudder pedal boot from Aero Comfort. The install for the johnson bar boot and the co-pilot rudder pedal boots has gone well. Since the co-pilot side does not have brakes, the boots simple went right over the rods. I have yet to install the pilot side rudder pedal boot. It seems that the boots opening is not big enough to go over the entire pedal assembly. Does anyone have any experience with the installation? Do I have to remove the pedals itself in order to fit the boots over the rods? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ryan
  17. Thank you all for your response. The windows themselves seem to be in good shape. I just don't want the leaks to lead to a bigger issue, which I imagine is the inevitable. Considering the time it may take to clean, assuming I don't break them during removal, it might be worth buying new ones. Thanks again for everyone's input! Ryan
  18. I have a 62 M20C where the windows doesn't have a good seal and draws some moisture in. Can I remove, clean and reinstall them or do I have to replace with new? If I can reuse them, what is the recommended seal? Can I use 3M windo-weld, Ribbon Seal? Has anyone done these without the help of a shop or A&P? Any tips? Thanks, Ryan
  19. Hello all. I recently purchased my first airplane and excited about my 1962 M20C. I am fairly short, only about 5'3" with shoes on. I know there's been threads about rudder Pedal extensions but I was wondering if there was anyone that has the 3 inch extension available to sell. It sounds like it's fairly simple to make but I would prefer one that came from Mooney with all the hardware. Thank you! Btw, I'm open to any advise to a new mooney owner too. Thanks again! Ryan
