  1. Is there a "How to post video" somewhere on the site?
  2. Trying out the new engine monitor on a recent cross country. Not sure about lean of peak operation, any leaner and it got pretty rough.

  3. I was advised to replace the entire panel in my C, was told old radio stack mounting would not support the weight and bulk of new stuff 1D9EFF32-0541-4D57-A4EB-3C33D1EC2BEA.MOV
  4. The 3bladed prop had a vibration that we never could balance out. Had it below .04ips and still shook in flight, worse at higher power settings. 2 bladed much smoother. Balanced to .03 ips its a night and day difference. Performance wise the take off roll is noticeably longer and climb rate noticeable less. The big gain is in cruise speed. Plane is a 75 M20C At 75 percent power at 5500 ft I am seeing 149kts true. A couple of weeks ago saw 152 kts true at 24in/2400rpm but have not been able to duplicate it since. With the 3 blade I would be lucky to see 140 kts. I can run higher power settings without the plane feeling like it’s shaking itself apart. It’s almost turbine smooth full throttle and prop all the way forward in climb. Also autopilot works much better with less vibration.
  5. Just removed a 3 blade Hartzel top prop and replaced it with a 2 blade hartzel HC-C2YK-1BF and now when shutting down engine prop comes to a stop vertically, 12 and 6 oclock. After reading it appears i may need to remove the prop and move the bushing that orient it. I have read the 3 Blade install instructions and they dont mention moving bushings. Just seems odd that prop would end up vertical at shutdown. Prop functions fine and balances down to .03 ips . 1975 M20C O-360-A1D
  6. jetdriven, If you have visors for sale I would be interested. check messages
  7. Is the tkm mx11 in the bottom of one of the photos available?
  8. I think I probably have 6-8 hours in the harness and at least 25 in the plane including gps antenna install. This includes cleaning up old wiring. I sent the avionics rails out to be tig welded. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. A couple of pictures of the finished install Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. G5 Hsi install would have required a magnetometer be installed and would have also needed a gad29 module installation to be able to talk to the autopilot. Using the gi106b made a much simpler installation. If I want to move to dual g5's in the future i will probably remove the narco radio and replace it with a garmin nav/com and use the indicator with it.
  11. I used a new gi106b. I could have used the old king indicator but decided to get the new garmin instead. The gps will work with many older indicators.
  12. Recently installed a new Garmin gps175 in a 1975 Mooney M20C. I removed the ADF, Loran, Kns 80 and indicator. Before beginning After opening up panel Building the harness was pretty straightforward. Harness configured to connect to stec50 providing nav and approach functions, no gpss. Laying out new stack Had to have all the old holes in the radio rack rails tig welded closed to allow new holes to be drilled. Ready to go back together I have a short video of the finished product but not sure how to post it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Have been trying to chase down a vibration in my 1975 m20c. Is fine on the ground but vibration starts after taking off and climbing. Goes away when power is pulled back to decend Have dynamically balanced prop(3 blade Hartzell) Noticed the engine baffles are starting to rub on the battery box. Thinking the engine mounts have allowed the engine to sag and rub. Mounts are old, 20 years if log book is correct. Planning on replacing mounts and shimming engine to match cowl. Can I expect envy improvement in vibration level?
