    Stranger things have happened. It wasn't a Mooney, but I know a guy who got dinged during annual for wrong wheels. Expensive.

    I'm trying to imagine what could goober up the interior?
  3. Fly Boomer
    I assume just cleaning the exterior?

    I don’t have a Hobbs. I think they are primarily used by flight schools in trainers.

    It’s not critical. If you don’t have the original, just choose a label size and font that fits the space it’s supposed to go in on your panel.

    I would get some made by a custom shop like SheetLabels.com. You can probably get an entire sheet for less than the Mooney price. There are a zillion of these places online and locally.

    Air Hawk is made by McCreary. Personal preference is Michelin AirStop inside Goodyear Flight Custom III. For me, any failure in, on, or near the nose gear is catastrophic. Or at least potentially expensive and time consuming.

    The documentation for my engine upgrade specifically prohibits McCreary tires. Also, here is an article from Aviation Consumer that documents the Goodyear Flight Custom III as the best value tire -- expensive, but they last longer than others. https://aviationconsumer.com/maintenance/aircraft-tire-burnout-goodyear-is-tops/

    Thanks. If there was any doubt before, this answer eliminates that doubt -- pretty sure you have studied those schematics more than anyone else on this board.

    I just looked at BAS and, as @varlajo pointed out, they say they have 15 on the shelf for $150 -- way cheaper than new.

    So, is the avionics master subordinate to the aux bus breaker? In other words, if I pull the aux bus breaker, does that kill everything on the avionics master as well as all the other breaker/switches on the lower panel? I could try this, but I'm not near the airplane right now.

    Thank you. Cool map. I couldn't picture the relationship between "15 to 30 miles between Starlink satellites" and "about 196 miles between them".
  13. Fly Boomer
    Is that different to an Avionics Master or Radio Master?

    Rachel is your A&P?

    Room Temperature Vulcanization -- comes out like toothpaste; sets up like rubber.
