Hi Group.

I have recently moved and all my manuals are packed away.

I am hoping that someone here may have a part number for a Lycoming IO 360 A1A Oil Pressure Relief Valve.

I will do a deep dive search in the next few days but I thought I would ask the collective minds here first.

 

1967 M20F Engine Serial # L-1201-51A

Thanks in advance.

MR

If no one has an answer for you by Tuesday,  I am heading out to the airport then and will jump over to Dugosh and ask if they have an answer. 

Thanks so much for responding.  We found the needed part and all is well.  

Hi group.  I’m replacing my flap actuator cable assembly on my 67 F.  I’m missing a part of the cable assembly that sits behind the interior plastic in front of the j bar.  Does anyone have a link to a parts manual that you can share?

the part I need looks similar to this one but larger. 

Hi,

Not sure about who local to you to recommend for a Mooney-specific pre-buy inspection.

If anyone has a resource in the So-Cal area that would be great to know.  In regard to transition training I hear that Paul Kortopates is highly recommended.

I have worked with Donald E Kaye (he flew down from Nor Cal) and Mike Jesch out of KFUL for my transition training.  Both are really great to work with.

Michael,

You might want to describe your technical challenge… what problem is the mechanic trying to fix…?

If you have the mechanical gear…

There isn’t much to the wiring diagram…

There is a switch up inside the down lock block under the instrument panel…

When the switch is activated, it turns the green light on…

When not activated, the other light is on…

If your mechanic is really young…. He may not recognize the push to test lights, with the twist iris dimmer…

 

The POH has a basic wiring diagram… not sure if it is so detailed to have these lights included….

The Maintenance manual would be the next step…

 

Check the download section around here… there are plenty of POHs, MMs, and parts manuals that apply to your plane…. The C, D, E, and F will share the same manuals…

PP thoughts only, not a mechanic…

Best regards,

-a-

Thanks.  The issue is that my gear up and gear down indicator lights are not working on my panel. 

Hello.

My mechanic is asking me for a wiring diagram for my manual landing gear position indicator lights for a 67 M20 F.

Any help is appreciated. Michael@WestCoastMooneyClub.com

Ross, you are not alone on this, it was stated that the tail section wasn't moving, yet I am happy it was a simple fix for him and the worst part was a misunderstanding.

Sorry for the confusion.

Wow! glad it broke on the ground and not in the air.

Me too.  Apparently, it happened after my landing when meeting friends for lunch at CMA. All good now.

Hope you are well.

Glad it’s working. A bit confused about the remedy. I thought that the tail was not moving when moving the trim wheel.  Was this just an indicator problem all along?

Yes, it turned out to be just an indicator problem.

Simple explanation would be the chain link that connects your wheel to the trim tube is disconnected, broken link, etc.  belly panel right below the wheel needs opening.  Part 11 on the diagram.

Opened up the belly and found the issue was a broken bolt holding the wire to the trim indicator.  Mechanically the system works fine but the indicator was not working.

All fixed now.  Thanks for the input, everyone.

Sounds like you'll have to open up the belly and see what has failed. The trim tube will be immediately obvious, as will be the U-joints that connect it to the wheel mechanism and the actuator in the back. Look for broken pins or tiny cotter keys in the belly panels as you remove them.

Hi everyone,

My trim indicator was not working on run up today.  I parked the plane and looked at the issue.  The trim wheel turns freely but the tail section does not move at all to retrim the airplane.

After further review, mechanically the trim is working fine but the indicator is not responding)

Don Maxwell advised me on how to inspect the issue and thinks that one or more Clevis pins may have broken.

Does anyone know what the part numbers for these pins might be? 

Has anyone had a similar issue and if so what did you find? 
 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Michael

Mike Jesch would be the one to go to.  While he doesn't own a Mooney, he has trained a number of people in them.  He is an American Airlines 787 pilot and a really good guy.  Tell him I recommended you call him.  I would come down and do it myself, but with Covid, I'm not taking on any new students at this time.  I'm doing engine break-ins and ferrying for the time being.

714-588-9346 or mcjesch@gmail.com

I second the Mike Jesch referral.

Hello all, is there anybody in the Reno area that would be interested in showing me their Mooney?  I am just entering into the market, and would like like to take a look at one in person and/or talk to an owner if possible.  I'm mainly interested in the C-F models but willing to take a look at anything in the area.
 
Thanks for your help

Robert,

Go to our West Coast Mooney Club Group
Facebook page and pose the question. I’m sure someone will reach out to you.

This is 'Yesterdays' flight and my official goodbye to Mooney ownership (but I will always love Mooney's). Taxiing to the hangar after an 8.5h flight (SRQ➞03NC) with three stops--and his is where I will really miss The Mistress, she would have done it in half the time. I knew that tree was going to get me at some point, but after 6.75h in the air, fatigue sets in  The photo illustrates why I won't miss The Mistress, that hangar rash will buff out, it would have been an expensive A&P only repair on the E. 

...and I really need to paint a centerline on the taxiway...and no, I am not cutting down the tree.

Perhaps you can move the tree to a new location. win/win. 

I am so happy that our West Coast Mooney Club was able to donate to the Bill Gilliland Foundation.  I hope we can raise even more funds next year.  Many thanks to all who attended the Sunriver conference and to our wonderful sponsors and presenters. 

Is there an rsvp list so the cafe knows we are coming?  How much are hotel rooms and where are folks staying?  
 

It’s planned as just a day trip for lunch at the airport...etc. There is camping available at the airport and no charge for landing if you are an aero club member. It’s a great value and supports the conservancy who maintains the airport and other facilities. Numerous hotels in the island as well.

Mike, thanks for all you do. I just sent in a donation that should take Alan up to his $200 pledge.
[mention=7207]Alan Fox[/mention], I hope you still have a little money leftover for some cobbler and ice cream at the next Summit.

The West Coast Mooney Club just sent $566.00 from our recent fundraiser in Sunriver, Oregon. Hope that helps any Mooney family members needing assistance.

We had a wonderful time last weekend in Sunriver, Oregon at the West Coast Mooney Club Summer Conference & Retreat.

Thirty one of the forty five registered attendees joined us as the wildfires and smoke kept some away.

Sponsors and presenters included Don Maxwell, Jan Maxwell & Jolie Lucas (Right Seat Ready Class), Richard Simile (Thunderbird Aircraft Sales), Parker Woodruff (Airspeed Insurance), Aaron de Zafra (Crewchief Systems), Brett Stokes & Dan Riesland (LASAR). We had a catered lunch and finished off he conference day with a Parade of Planes where everyone could show off their beautiful Mooneys.  Saturday evening we had an awards and outdoor movie night where the movie "Flying the Feathered Edge" (The Bob Hoover Story) was presented.  We had over $2,500.00 of raffle prizes donated from Aircraft Spruce, Lift Aviation, Lightspeed, Bruce's Custom Covers, Tempest Aviation, Baker Avionics, JPI Instruments, King Schools, Crewchief Systems and Pilot Outfitters.

The raffle ticket sales generated over $560.00 of proceeds that are being donated to the Bill Gilliland Foundation c/o The Mooney Summit. 

I am so happy that we had the opportunity to share the weekend together with other Mooniac's in such a beautiful location. Many of us enjoyed the resort activities including golf, river rafting, swimming, spa treatments and some wonderful meals. Thanks to all who joined us this year and I hope to see you all gain in 2021.

Best,

Michael Rodgers.

10 minutes of pucker time over the ocean blue...... yikes!  

No need to pucker. If you need to ditch just aim for the biggest boat and your pick-up ride will be waiting right there.

Let’s see if @MrRodgers is around...

Question above...^^^^

-a-

@JeffMirs @carusoam

Hello,

I am glad you posed the question above.  

Yes, @JeffMirs is correct. In Oregon there is a limit of 10 people for "indoor social get togethers" as defined by the State. • 

From the State Covid-19 website:

“Indoor social get-together” means a group of individuals meeting for a common social or recreational purpose indoors. Indoor social get-togethers include dinner parties, birthday parties, graduation parties, celebrations of any kind, potlucks, game nights, and other similar indoor gatherings. Indoor social get-togethers do not include gatherings.

Statewide, no matter what phase a county is in, the maximum capacity for an indoor social get-together is: ▪ 10 people indoors.

In regard to the Summer Conference event, I have been working very closely with the Sunriver Resort in regard to making sure that ALL guidelines and health protocols are in place for the Summer Conference. We have been designated a large conference room which easily holds up to 300 people per event.  They have very strict guidelines that they have enacted including limiting pool use to only two hour sessions and then the area is completely cleaned and prepared for the next group. Baggage handling and other social interaction situations are also be under new guidelines as well.  The bottom line is that if there was ANY question that the resort was not making every effort with regard to the Covid protocols the event would be cancelled.  

At this time the county where the Sunriver Resort is located is in Phase 2 of their state opening criteria.  

Our Event is not considered a social get-together. 

The Summer Conference & Retreat falls under the definition of "public gathering" by the state and resort guidelines.

Here are the current guidelines for Phase 2  public gatherings in Oregon taken from the Oregon State website..

Statewide Gatherings,

Indoor Social Get-Together Guidance

This guidance applies statewide to gatherings and indoor social get-togethers Effective Date: July 24, 2020

Definitions:

For purposes of this guidance: • “Gathering” means a group of individuals meeting for a common purpose including faith-based, civic, cultural and other purposes, indoors or outdoors.

Maximum Capacity Limit: • For phase 1 counties the maximum capacity for gatherings is: ▪ 50 people indoors ▪ 50 people outdoors •

For phase 2 counties the maximum capacity for gatherings is: ▪ 50 people indoors ▪ 100 people outdoors

Our Event.

We have 39 reserved attendees and no more reservations will be accepted at the Summer Conference. 

Each attendee will have their own individual 6 Ft Table to sit at during the Friday conference session and each table will be a minimum of 7 feet apart.  All food or beverages will be served by a resort staff member and all resort guests are requested to wear masks indoors throughout the property. Our club luncheon and other shared group meal times are all going to be outside and served as catered plated meals.  NO Buffets are being served anywhere in the resort and some resort amenities have curtailed the use of common areas as well.

So, as you can see, the Summer Conference falls well below the state guidelines for gatherings of this kind and every effort has been made to make certain that for those who have chosen to attend that everyone's safety and comfort will be the first priority.

Here are some links that you might find interesting.

#1 is the Sunriver Resort health protocols that they have enacted property wide.

I hope that you found this information helpful and that it answered any questions or concerns you may have..

All the best,

Michael

I didn't notice the tiny print "first 12 months of service" in the flyer before, but if this rate lasted longer I would sign up right now.

It’s a great opportunity for you with a $200.00 savings the first year. I LOVE the service they provide me as an aircraft owner. Try it for a year at the discount and see how you feel about it when renewal comes up. I think you’ll find value in it.
