I’ll write a lesson learned in the next few weeks unfortunately it will include the challenges of divesting what you currently have in your panel.

Sad cause I’m at the end of a great story and just trying to sell the stuff I don’t need. I learned a ton from y’all on MS.

Well I have learned a few things along the way. I thank you ZZ for the smarter way to conduct my future sales. But what I gather is even on MS it’s a scorched earth policy for those that fail to pay.

Wow, I ship an item at my expense. Say return it if it fails to meet your expectations. No money, no item. Been a long time. Two sides. Yep that is true. I agree I will live in a world that I will trust you till proven wrong. (OK I’m a fool). This is going to be interesting.

Hack 30 days. Thanks everyone for the support.

Still is. Just a lot more expensive

Shad this is a great place to be still.

The individual was online when this thread started. Has since dropped and I’m hopeful he is aware.

MS is really a great place.

Thanks man. Been really trying to let the person do the right thing.

If the mods look at the pm traffic there is no mistake in what is going on.

I agree trying to to eliminate plausible excuses. However no pay will be no love.

Not sure quiet is the message at this point but thank you. Not trying to disturb the Mooneyspace karma.

Just asking the mods about any prohibitions on public shaming I guess.

Many multiple attempts at communication prior to this public outreach.

Member in good standing prior to this.

I agree. Discounted price with me paying postage. Payment only expected with acceptance of the delivery. Excuses post delivery.

I have a member of MS that has something I sold him in June. He has failed to pay. Suggestions? Thanks

I would agree talking to RAM is worthwhile also. They are very helpful as well as knowledgeable.

The 3 Mooney shops I have worked with are all familiar with Rockets and Missles. .

Mooney shops (at least shops with a lot of Mooney experience) already have a level of knowledge dealing with the idiosyncrasies of the brand. Otherwise you’re paying for them to learn on the job.

I used the new Gee Bee hoses. The overhead ducts had holes in them and everything under the panel was split and corroded. If you are interested in doing the overhead ducts DM me as I learned a few things along the way. The quality of the new ducts are outstanding.

I am in the process of doing a top end on my rocket. They went 100 hours past TBO. The failure that precipitated the rebuild was a cracked exhaust port on #3. It warped the exhaust flange. Parts and timelines for repair have been brutal. Rocket rebuilt the exhaust. Main Turbo overhauled the turbo. Overhauled nickel cylinders from Sal in Prosper. Controller was overhauled and all the required consumable parts/gaskets from RAM in Waco. Turbo was impossible to get rebuilt for about 4 months and it took an additional 3 for the cylinders. Exhaust valves were hard to come by and intake valves were impossible. I hope the supply chain has eased up for you. We found the cracked cylinder as part of an avionics upgrade so Garmin supply chain issues have further delayed progress. It’s in its third set of servos and has not flown yet. My plane is at a non Mooney repair facility so that also delays things a bit. Their parts guy did not have a good parts supplier so I did the research for him. It saved me thousands in parts by me doing it. If you are in the planning phase I recommend getting ALL the parts ahead of time and schedule with your preferred MSC otherwise otherwise I recommend an investment in aspirin, Miller Lite, and TUMs. Good luck.

We went with overhauled cylinders, rebuilt turbo and exhaust. The supply chain issues combined with labor shortages have really made this painfully I appreciate all the advice.

Will do.
