Well I'm glad to hear that this wasn't me.. if they indeed were both replaced would that even be legal? I would assume they have a different part number and without an STC I didn't think you could do that.

Thanks for the reply Jim, im not sure how this happened but they told me the one they sent me one off of a 1963 M20C which is exactly what I have but I guess that's not true.

Good morning guys, so I had a little incident putting my plane back in the hangar and bent the trailing edge on my left elevator down a bit, not bad but bad enough it needs replacement, I found an airplane salvage company that will remain nameless for now, they had a bunch of mooney stuff and they had the best prices, so I call them, tell them I have a 1963 mooney M20C and need a LH elevator, the guy says yup we have one and gave me a good deal on it, cost me 150$ to ship it here but whatever, it shows up to my shop, I spend hours stripping it and alodining it and epoxy priming it, I brought my old elevator down to the shop to weigh them both and at that time noticed the new one they sent me is corrugated and my old one is smooth, never even thought twice about it until I saw them side by side, so I call the company as they have several of the right ones thinking they will apologize for the mishap and promptly send out the correct one and refund me for the incorrect one but I was mistaken. There is a price difference between the 2 the one I need is more money which I'm fine with but they are telling me I have to pay to ship the wrong on back and pay to to ship the right one down, so there's 300$ more in shipping plus the 150$ I paid to ship the wrong to me, I'm really not satisfied with the situation and the way they are handling this, so I'm going to talk with the owner of the company tomorrow and I need some good info as to why THEY made the mistake and sent me the wrong one. They said the one they sent me came off the identical plane as mine so the question is when did they use the corrugated control surfaces and on what? From what I can tell the E and later models used them but all the Cs I've ever seen have smooth surfaces. Need some ammo for the battle that's going to ensue tomorrow, maybe I'm wrong here but I'm not seeing it but I need facts to present him with and hopes they make this right instead of telling me I'm on my own like they already have been, thanks in advance!

How does it get info for roll steer and intercept info? And what's a DI exactly?

Well guys ive done the impossible, I found the unicorn valve! Now I just need to straighten out exactly what other components i need for an accuflite system i guess is the one i want, and according to Brittain ill need an DAC 31 something or an Icarus for the roll steer capabilities, anyone have anything for me there?

Good info guys! Thanks for the feedback, Im on the cusp of pulling the trigger on a GTN 650 with the GTX 345 transponder and flight stream 210 ect, so what is needed to make it work well at that point, its just money right?! I dont see the value of a 20k autopilot in this plane and i already have the PC system works great so why refit all this new stuff when this old stuff works great. Hopefully I can find what i need soon, i am on the list with brittain also

Hey everyone, new mooney owner here looking for the components to convert my PC wing leveler to an accutrak system capable of flying a course from a GPS which is a looming avionics upgrade for me, i know these are like a white whale but worth a shot, thanks everyone!
