I have dual mags. Tks

I have a 1989 M20J with the IO360. I have attached two photos showing the bracket the propeller control cable is attached to in the engine compartment. One end of this cable goes to the prop governor and the other end goes inside the cabin compartment. One photo is the entire bracket. The other photo is a close up of the same bracket showing a notch that was cut into the bracket by a cable rubbing on it for a long time, almost severing it in half. The bracket is now severely compromised. I am hoping someone can help me with the part number AND a source for a replacement bracket. Thank you.

Does anyone have a 12 volt Bendix King KX-155 NAVCOM in good working condition, including the display, that they would be willing to sell? A friend of mine has one and several of the digits on the display are not working. He doesn’t want to buy a brand new replacement so I’m trying to help him out.

I had all four servos in my J model replaced last week. Now, on the second flight I get two error messages. One is “yaw damper hardware fault” and the other “AFCS preflight test failed”. I pulled the circuit breaker for the auto pilot and waited 30 seconds. I then pushed it back in. The error message about the AFCS preflight test failed went away, but came back shortly thereafter. Now, even when I reset the circuit breaker, I get the message and my auto pilot will no longer engage. My shop just swapped the 4 servos. Is there some adjusting of tensions or software settings they should have done in addition to the hardware swap?

Mine is 28 volt but the Home Depot Socket idea is brilliant. Is that in the aviation section, near paint?

I have a 1989 M20J. It has strobes on the forward wing tips, which also contain a green and red nav light. On the trailing edge of the wind tip are my white NAV lights. They are not LED, they are old-fashioned incandescent bolts. One of them works, and the other one is intermittent. I can only get it to work by holding the bulb and bulb socket in my hand and wiggling it slightly. See photo. That leaves me to believe that the problem may not be in the socket, but actually in the wiring behind the sock. But that’s hard to get to as I would have to remove the entire wing tip. Has anyone had any experience with this and any positive results you can share. I’ve included a couple of pictures for your reference. Is there a modern Whalen or some other company replacement for this trailing edge white wing tip light. I would prefer not to have to spend thousands of dollars for an entire new wingtip lighting system just because one incandescent light isn’t working. Does anyone possibly have this socket which holds the incandescent light that they’d be willing to sell me?

My mixture cable needs replacement and the McFarland replacement cost about $800 according to my mechanic. It’s a 1989 M20J. Could that be correct? Seems expensive.

I went to the attorney who created the trust. Thanks all

I have the dreaded servos from China in my GFC 500. They are failing. My shop has informed me that Garmin will supply replacement servos for no charge and allow 2.5 hours of labor toward the removal/replacement. Is this the deal that others recieved from Garmin. Did it take longer than 2.5 hours per servo to remove/replace?

I know this is a little unusual to be posting here on Mooneyspace but there are so many sharp minds and great resources on this forum, I decided to give it a try. Additionally, after 50 years as an aviator, I’ve come to learn that there’s a camaraderie amongst pilots and most of the time a level of trust that can be expected. I have been appointed the trustee for an estate of an elderly friend. It’s not a huge amount of money and she doesn’t have a great deal of assets. Nevertheless, I would like to find an attorney who practices in Connecticut to assist me. This is not my first time as a trustee. Instead of just picking a name out of a hat or in the old days we’d say from the “yellow pages”, (you young guys have no idea what that means) I thought I would see if there is a member of this group who would be able to assist me. I’d much rather deal with a fellow pilot and perhaps even a fellow Mooney owner than someone completely out of the blue. Please text me if you can help. 917 297 1111.

While doing the before flight checklist the AP button on the GFC 500 would not make the AP engage. The light above the AP button would not eliminate. The errors in the attached photo displayed. Tried turning it off many times. Tried pulling the circuit breaker, then resetting it many times. Tried turning off the avionics and then turning it back on many times. None of that worked. Has anyone had this error message and how did you rectify it?

The manifold pressure in my 1989J model fluctuates. This is being displayed on a Garmin G3X. What might be causing this? No other anomalies on any other instruments or gauges.

My friend, Jose, has a 231 with a recent avionics upgrade. He has a number of items that were removed which are for sale, including standby vacuum pumps, NAV, comms, autopilot and other parts. I’ve created a link to a photo gallery with all of these items. if you are interested in any of these items, please call Jose directly. His phone number is (772) 633-1616. All of the items are located in Vero Beach Florida. Link to gallery : https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-GMk3Px
