Seatbelt (Re-webbing): Who have you used/What to look for
201Mooniac replied to Paul Thomas's topic in General Mooney Talk
I had mine rewebbed at an annual a couple of years ago by Aviation Safety Products https://aircraftseatbelts.com/ (recommended by Top Gun). They did a great job with a quick turn around. They have many color choices. I'm not sure but I think I paid $250 for the two front seats lap and shoulder belts. -
That's a really good idea, I'll check with my IA to make sure he won't have an issue at annual and they I can start carving away. Thanks!

If anyone has one, please let me know, I'm interested in a new wheel handle as mine is showing some cracks. I carry an easily accessible multitool so I'm sure it won't be an emergency but it would be nice to get a replacement before this 45 year old one falls apart.
-
Is that a new switch or also a new wheel handle? I’m looking for where to get the wheel handle as mine shows some small cracks and if new ones are available I’d consider replacing it.
-
I had too much trouble with the one from Vantage so I got one from Mooney. The two speaker grills would not fit and the center section with the switches and air flow control didn’t fit right either. If all of the parts had been available from vantage I expect they would work but mixing the Mooney and Vantage parts didn’t work well.
-
Mine was in bad shape so I ordered one from Vantage but it didn’t fit properly and I found that Mooney will make one. Expensive but arrived in a few weeks.
-
Agreed, especially those parts that are formed using jigs and pressing forms.
-
If you are friendly with an MSC, you might want to ask if they have one around from an LED upgrade.

FAA CARES: block ownership info on aircraft registry portal

It's been a couple of weeks and I'm still waiting. I'm glad to hear that even if it took awhile they did follow through, this makes me hopeful. This thread has been really helpful with this otherwise opaque system. -
Yes, I know, I was just making the case that it isn't only Mooneys that they could support this way as they have type experts for other types as well and it could be larger opportunity for them and GA.
-
Yep, that's the one.
-
I don't know, I never flew one. I flew a 252 with Chris W. from CA to NY and we took that one as high as FL250 but no higher.
-
Unless you are in a 252 :-), certified to 28,000ft, I've never flown one above 25,000 though and that only once and with another pilot on a separate O2 source, maybe I'm chicken but 25,000 is a little too high for me to feel comfortable alone given how rapidly hypoxia can set in with an O2 failure.
-
I would certainly attend a clinic by Paul but maybe this is an opportunity for Savvy, they can use their type experts to run them (for more than just Mooneys). I was actually going to send Mike an email asking them to do an in person boroscope clinic as I still take lousy pictures even after watching their video.

I've come across many who will do a transition, not many who will do primary. Les did my transition tot he M20K (his).
