I recently found myself in the same situation. I have the Mooney PC system on my 1968 Exec. Recently it stopped picking up the right wing when it was low. It will level a left bank quickly, however. There is an Avionics/instrument shop in Howell, Michigan called Preferred Avionics. They tell me that they can overhaul the Brittain turn coordinator for the Mooney PC system. I have not had mine done as of yet so I can’t speak to the accuracy of this but you may want to give them a call. (800)736-6143 Good luck!

I'm probably going to regret this post but here goes: I have a 1968 M20F Exec which I bought a few months ago after a 10 year hiatus from flying. What initial power setting do you recommend for abeam touchdown to start the landing sequence?

I love the GTN 750. My brother just put one in his Baron. It's amazing. Truly the benchmark of touch screen navigators. Congrats!!!

Andy, Thanks for clarifying this for me! I couldn't find anything on their site about GS on the G5. However, I should have been more specific in my post. The G5, to my knowledge, will not display GS info from anything other than a GNS or GTN series. The Aspen will accept GS input from older equipment, like my KX-155, which makes it work for me. I'm on the fence about just adding a GTN650 and then I could use the G5's. I so still like the Aspen better. But I think I would need to replace the sheet metal on the pilot side of my 1968 M20F to get the Aspen to fit. I wish Garmin, like Apple, wasn't becoming so proprietary in their products. As an example, I have the GDL 52 portable ADSB/Sirius XM/ADHRS receiver. It is amazing but only works with Garmin portables and the Garmin Pilot App. You'd think a more open architecture would sell more products.

I can’t wait for the release of the Aspen E5. I think this is a better option than a pair of G5’s for my situation, at least. My VOR/LOC/GS CDI is in need of overhaul. The Garmin G5 HSI doesn’t display glideslope guidance (hence HSI). Furthermore, I don’t believe the G5 configured as an HSI will accept VOR/LOC input from anything other than a Garmin navigator. I have a GPS 400, which is just the GPS portion of the GNS 430. The Aspen will accept vor/loc/Gs input from a KX-155 for example, and according to what I know about other Aspen displays, many other sources as well. From what I’ve read, the Aspen E5 should be an STC installation, meaning an AI can install it. If anyone knows anything contrary to this, please advise.
