Thanks Skip, I'd never reverse bled a brake system, but alas, this old dog has been taught a new procedure / technique ( I hate the terminology of trick}. After reverse bleeding the "bad side" I had to do my "good side". NEVER have i had such solid brakes in many years of flying. Thanks Again & Merry Christmas !!

Are there any special techniques to bleeding the brakes, other than the depress pedal and open bleeder, close bleeder and release pedal? Thanks in Advance !

Fellow Mooney folks, is this the correct spec for the Brake / Hydro Fluid Hydraulic Fluid MIL-H-5606A ? I've got a 94' Bravo. I'm about to order it from Aircraft Spruce. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving

Hey Steve, I am interested at a reasonable price point. If even ballpark figures become available, please post. Thanks Dave

Gary D Welcome to Mooney ownership. Please keep us posted on your adventure during your trip back to OK. Also with your first day trip with your wife. I've owned 3 Mooneys, over the past 24 yrear, a 68' C, a 231 / 262 and currently a 94' Bravo. Loved them all, especially my first, the C. Wishing you all the luck and CAVU. Dave

Jim just completed my propeller balancing about1 mo ago (Late Sept 25) I noticed quite a bit smoother ride. He's a real pro !!

I thought someone would have posted about this salvage. BAS began Monday parting a M20 R Ovation..Lots of parts available for you Ovation drivers. https://baspartsales.com/blog/new-in-the-bas-disassembly-hangar-october-2nd-2025?_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8pVQavTMSiZYhyIkRZXxsBUYdhDXcSOEBB0VI99aFG-29Fcg89aVQ9BHixlChwZO_HwA_GUvJBj-NNgm5WhaSEZQibcw&_hsmi=383596616

No Truer Words ever spoken ! Preflight, even w/ someone standing around makes the hairs on the back of my neck curl. I HATE it !! Now I demand total silence, and go stand . . . Over There.

Better yet, is replacing the 10,000 plus belly panel screws !!!! ;-)

Just downloaded and saved my copy, thanks so much Jeremy. I spent about an hour scanning/ reading. Now I think I'll go fly my M20M Bravo TLS !!! Go Mooney !!

I learned to fly 45 years ago at KTRK, not far from South Lake Tahoe, in fact that's where we went to get out introduction to a control tower. Remember, the engine is Turbocharged, not the propeller or the wings. The engine will perform like it is at sea level, however the prop and wings are acutely aware of their elevation. ;-)

As I recall back in the 80's the legal begals got a hold of the aviation industry. They figured that product liability was a field worth pursuing. Thats when aircraft prices spiked, along with tort lawsuits, etc, etc. The problem is that the USA, especially here on the Left Coast, the gen pop has become so litigious. Why the lawyers can barely keep the lights on!!!

I got my pilots license at Truckee in 1980. Regardless of routes, the most important factor is to travel in the AM, the earlier, the better. Truckee has an awesome airport !! Now even a CT and atis !!

I wouldn't be surprised. We sprayed quite a bit of that back in the 80's, only to find out later that it and imron should be used with a full body protection.
