    Mine too. Is that a factory option?
  2. Fly Boomer
    Min Kao and Gary tried to tell ‘em.

    If I understand your question, the only advice I have read on MooneySpace is to use something broad and flat. A screwdriver will likely bend the cover.
  4. Fly Boomer
    Can’t speak to the pieces and parts, but most Mooney people find anything larger than the Mini to be cumbersome.

    Good man! I don’t agree with everything Mike Busch says, but replacing cylinders “on condition” if, and only if, they can’t be saved just makes sense.

    Beechcraft.

    Sell your stock, and sell your Mooney. Get out while you can.
  8. Fly Boomer
    All true. I would only add that many or most 231s have had enough aftermarket pieces added to be close to a 252.

    I would pass on the mechanic/shop/cylinder provider OR examine how it was flown. Ham Fist=Many Cylinders Especially Continental TSIO.

    Is that from the POH with your serial number, or from a generic POH for your model?
  11. Fly Boomer
    Sorry. Clearly, I didn’t start at the top.

    Anybody know what’s involved with the GTX-345?
  13. Fly Boomer
    Jake to the rescue AGAIN! Thanks for your contributions.
  14. Fly Boomer
    Gorgeous!
  15. Fly Boomer
    Yikes! Gotta look that one up.

    I don’t know the model number, but these PreciseFlight speed brakes are activated by mechanical cable that runs through the MLG wheel well on both sides. I believe there is a diaphragm or bellows in the fuselage that converts from air power to mechanical power via the mechanical cables. I too am interested in documentation of any kind and, given the response the OP got from PreciseFlight, specifications and source for the rusted out cables.

    My new word for the day

    I think it was Mike Bush who said “if it’s warm, you probably over-primed, while if it’s cool, you probably under-primed”.

    I noticed that most of his examples were brand “B” but figured my Mooney would do better.
  20. Fly Boomer
    This is pretty far out and long ago, but I once had a cable that looked perfect, but I cleaned and tightened the connections to no avail. In desperation, I replaced the cable — problem fixed.
  21. Fly Boomer
    More please! MooneySpaceCadets love pictures.
  22. Fly Boomer
    Sounds like an argument that favors a stopped clock over one that’s fast or slow. The stopped clock is on the money once each day; fast or slow is almost never right.

    ^^^This is really good!
  24. Fly Boomer
    This is good. The WOT recommended by Braley and others assumes yo will limit percent power by going lean of peak.
  25. Fly Boomer
    You probably don't. Carburetor engines usually won't do LOP. But the monitor would tell you if your leaning technique is causing elevated temperatures. Mike Busch says 380 max for Continentals, and a little higher for Lycoming.
