  1. This scheme actually matches the Cessna TTX scheme.
  2. Here is an example from the Mena, AR shop: Rose Aircraft. I did not ask the price but I am sure it was high. I picked this up from paint a month ago for the owner. This 1999 C172 not only got a new paint job but a Factory New engine, new leather interior, and everything Garmin (touch-screen) avionics you can install in a single-engine piston minus the GFC500 autopilot.
  3. They have two avaiable: Mooney Part number (crazy expensive) and their own model (like $49/pair). I had one come off after post flight tire change that was too damaged to replace. I called LASAR and got a new pair that were primed and ready to install.
  4. O2D2 for me, too. LIke others (above), the electronic monitor of O2 flow is nice.
  5. I was able to remove my Ki256 with oversight from my local A&P. The glareshield will most likely need to be removed. The input and output of the vacuum will need to be removed and the electrical vacuum switch will need to be removed. Also, my Ki256 had a backing plate that will fall if you were able to disconnect everything and remove the insturment.
  6. I would be money that your vacuum (circled) has failed. Your local A&P will have extensive knowledge in finding/replacing and appears to be easy to get to. Past the pump, inside the cabin (generally), there is a suction regulator that can dial the exact pressure. The fact that your vacuum gauge is zero, I would bet money this is the source of your problem.
  7. Yes, dimmer controls on the dash are getting power and varrying power correctly on dimming.
  8. I have the same problem. I think it is the light controller in the avionics bay. Mine still not fixed. Sometimes they flicker.
  9. My DPE said last week he names planes based on its manufacturing year and the First Lady of the current administration at that time. His was Eleanor. If mine followed that logic, it would be Hillary. Nope.
  10. ALL Sold. thanks
  11. One pair has sold.
  12. I have two used UFlyMike Harmony Pro headphone sets that are lightly used. Each set have a pair Bose® QC25 headsets that can be included for an extra $100. Both comes with protective case and Dual GA style plugs. $225/piece + $100 if you want the Bose® QC25 noise canceling headsets = Total (single) package: $325 Both (2) for twice the money and express shipping included.
  13. Yes sir - it is great. I use it for Ground Power Unit (GPU) for updating databases or anytime I need to power on the aircraft bus without the engine running. It also, as I said, manages my battery. It has specific settings for Concorde, Gill, and other types of avaition batteries. Built-in is thermal sensor, as well as polarity and other protections. I use the Anderson SB-50 to Cessna-style aircraft interface. I had bought the Airframe Interface Kit but after talking with their tech support, figured out I did not need it; only the Cessna-style plug listed above. You'd think they would have a function built-in to select 24volt or 12volt but it appears it is made only for the 24v systems
  14. I have the BatteryMINDer® 28252-AA and use the GPU function to close the relay while plugged in using the Cessna style three prong plug to the aircraft. Then, switch to the charge/maintain mode to condition the battery. No issues.
  15. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/phillips08-13850.php?gclid=Cj0KCQjwsvrpBRCsARIsAKBR_0LpaagWEOhGWRwlU6DH72MRkRYIETe6l9w3ziN0x_HtdMLuC499N-MaAmVAEALw_wcB
  16. Situational Awareness! Note the runway depected on this RNav 36R approach in the synthetic vision into KPWA. Number 2 to land behind another Mooney on short final.
  17. I used EAPanels. My panel was signifcantly less than $3500, like 3rd less. That included design, proofing, test panels, and final with custom matched powder coating and laser etching.
  18. yes, original post has been updated as stuff sells.
  19. I have a good condition Robotow for sale. It comes with the towbar, two 28v batteries, and a charger. Moved up to a nose-tow'er and don't need this any longer... works as it should. $900 + shipping (can deliver to Oshkosh for free ...or Madison if you are flying with the Mooney Caravan) -Bryan
  20. @gsxrpilot just moved to that area and flies a M20K LOP a lot. I bet he would go up with you to explore LOP operations in your 231. He has a great panel for displaying TAS along with FF and MAP settings. My previous bird (231) did LOP great. Can (somone) say the Mooney is still putting out 200HP at 16000, yes, at full power setting. The critical altitude for this is much higher and you will not be losing MAP at 16000 under normal circumstances. However, pulling the MAP back, RPM back, and FF back, you will be crusing at less than 200HP.
  21. I am not trying to mis-lead anyone. The OP asks why a 252 over a Bravo. As Don states, his Bravo is a 2-person airplane, full baggage with full of fuel. Mine is 3 person airplane with full fuel, full bags because I don't need as much fuel for the same mission. I have two kids that equate to another adult (single) so our 252 is perfect. Yes, I don't need to carry full fuel but I do... because I can... because I don't like buying fuel at my destiation for $7/gal. I'd rather fill my tanks at home for half that and when the line guy asks as my destination, do you need fuel.. I can say no. I think Don hit it on the head: If money was no factor (aquisition or operating), I'd have a pressurized Mooney: TBM
  22. Does the M20M have an aneriod adjustment like the TCM engines for full power fuel flow? Mine was a little low, according to Savvy, and got with my MSC and we got it adjusted in just about the time it took to take the cowl off.
