Thanks. Probably a GoPro mount based on consensus. Seems like an odd thing to take a picture of to sell an airplane.

this one is not that high on my list

Bumping this thread because I'm looking at 201s and not thrilled with the twinsey mags. Does the Electroaire really improve the situation? And what's the installed cost? Per comments above, it sounds like it could pass $10K. Am I making too much of this issue? Thanks!

It looks like the outer "blades" can move, but not any kind of speedbrake I've ever seen (and the listing doesn't call out speedbrakes). It appears to be painted the same dark metallic blue elsewhere on the plane. Plane has TKS, but don't think you'd put a not-aerodynamic element like that on top of the wing.

no idea. it's on a pic of a 201 I'm looking at......

I see Delaware registration, but where is the plane located?

New panel looks fantastic! How much was the panel from Superior? Asking because I'm under the impression this alone is $4 - $5K. Also, what went into the decision to make a single panel vice multi-section panel? Thanks!

Trouble is the yellow tag, or lack thereof. Of course, if nothing bad ever happens, nobody would know. Here's a vid about how to install. A little more than just plug and play, but nothing difficult.

Hope to dig into it today. I only looked from beneath the panel, not from the top through the avionics access panels on the cowling. Hopefully it will be way easier to get to from the top!!!

I was thinking of the orange solid silicone tubing from Gates, but had the exact same concern that it would slip off the hose barbs. FWIW, the Brittain manual calls out A-10 and A6 Corbin clamps, which are like the spring hose clamps Chrysler and other car makers use on water lines. Representative pic below from the Brittain service manual:

Thanks, Kevin. Very good of you. Just found the Gates tubing locally. Question: My tubes do NOT have clamps on them. Are they needed?

Anybody have thoughts on using silicone hosing?

I wonder if this also could be due to the servo valve 'favoring' on direction. When last working, I had a pretty strong knob setting to the right on mine. Will report back after replacing the hoses. Thanks all!

Thanks, gents. My A&P/IA wanted to get the right stuff, but thought the hard plastic Poly-Flow hose would be a PITA to work with under the panel. I did say I might go down to the auto parts store and get some regular vacuum hose, and now it sound like that is what I should do.

The hoses on the servovalve and related components of my Brittain positive control system are disintegrating. They look like regular black soft rubber vacuum line and are dry rotted. Looking at my Brittain manual (Mooney Positive Control Operation and Service Instructions, 11968, Issue C), all the hoses appear to be labeled as 3/8" OD Poly-Flo tubing or 3/16" OD plastic tubing. None of it appears to be soft rubber vacuum line that's been installed in my place ever since I've owned it. I'm thinking a prior owner or mechanic just swapped in the rubber tubing. Anybody have experience with this? Thanks, AJ
