  1. Must be a semi-clever script containing a list of user names. It was less than 60 seconds after you blasted "sweety" before I got the first one from markjoedsr546.
  2. Sure. Just depends on the quality of the build, quality and quantity of maintenance, how often it's flown, who's been flying it, and probably a bunch of other things.
  3. Maybe you can re-do these Rudder Extension Drawing 720115.pdf
  4. I wonder if the later airplanes have some sort of bracket welded into the tubing?
  5. The attached PDF appears to specify PX329 transducers, but the DWYEROMEGA web site comes up empty when I search for "px329 pressure transducer"?
  6. https://mooneyspace.com/topic/42213-plexiglassplastic-cover-for-ice-light/
  7. You can draw the hangar and move cutouts of the airplanes around, but sometimes you just have to put the airplanes in and move them around.
  8. I appreciate the share. Wasn't trying to be snarky with you. Help says prop control doesn't work. Might be other things.
  9. I must be missing the point -- with the throttle pulled all the way back, and mixture at cut-off, I am still making 60 percent power, and burning 11 GPH.
  10. Is the PI filter high-pass or low-pass?
  11. @A10haSnackbar ^^^^THIS^^^^
  12. The early M20Ks (231) offered the opportunity to fry engines with a less-sophisticated "waste gate", but some aftermarket solutions made them better. For the later M20Ks (252 and Encore), they have absolute pressure controllers so you don't have to think about the wastegate. It's one of the reasons the 252 was so popular when it first came out. Mooney 231 drivers could hardly believe you could just go balls to the wall on takeoff with no regard for over-boost, overspeed, or huge temperature excursions. It's always possible to fry cylinders because of inattention to temperatures, but, in spite of their reputation, I don't think the more recent turbo Moonies are more prone to problems than normally aspirated. One new thing you have to be aware of is that if you fly in the low- or mid-twenties (or even upper teens), there just isn't much air up there to cool the cylinders so you may have to pull the power back a bit, or add fuel if ROP, or reduce fuel if LOP, or run with the cowl flaps open -- whatever it takes to keep temperatures under control. A modern engine monitor is your friend.
  13. Many or most of the later models have FIKI. I wanted serious all-weather cross-country (maybe I should say "most-weather" because these are all single-engine pistons) so I was, and continue to be more interested in TKS than a flashy panel.
  14. You didn't say what your budget is, but for serious all-weather cross-country flying, think turbocharger and TKS anti-ice. That translates to M20K (with aftermarket TKS), M20M, M20TN, or M20V. Can you go cross-country without these things? Sure. But it increases the pucker factor, and you need to prepare to RON at unplanned stops.
  15. Great data. What document is this from?
  16. Nice PIREP! Welcome to MooneySpace.
  17. Others may have better info, but I believe this is both an operators manual and maintenance manual https://www.lycoming.com/content/operator's-manual-TIO-540-PARALLEL-VALVE-CYLINDER-HEADS-60297-23P

  19. If you are responding to a particular member, you can select a few words or a phrase from that member's post, and then click the "Quote Selection" pop-up (that's what I did here), or you can include the member's handle like this @PeeJee. Either way, that member gets notified that someone is trying to get his attention.
  20. Refer to duplicate post at https://mooneyspace.com/topic/52000-ads-b-for-1984-m20j-with-original-equipment/
  21. As with most businesses, it appears to be a "get all you can get" strategy. Unlike most businesses, they don't have to worry about what the flying community thinks.
  22. I don't know anything about the costs, but I see a huge number of GTX-345s -- either going in to solve a problem like yours, or already installed in airplanes on the market.
  23. Not suggesting anyone ignore them. But if you didn't land (as some have reported), then a phone call or email seems appropriate. Maybe if they get enough "false positives", the administrative overhead will convince them to improve the algorithm that determines whether you get a bill or not.
