    Roughly $1600 if purchased by an entity that has a business account with them.

    Then Spring of 2026 it is then.

    Well stated, sir

    Have you considered what your plan will be for maintenance at these two locations? Are you willing to stock some parts at each as well? I've owned and flown both aircraft. You're absolutely right, the Acclaim engine runs very smoothly. The Bravo's Lycoming is more reliable, IMO, but parts can be difficult to get at times. I'm very curious about your planned route on this flight you describe. Would you mind elaborating? Alex

    I followed Don's instructions and I found a leak that others had attempted to find and seal three previous times. Here's a few photos: BTW, the external location of the leak was several inches away from the internal origin. Alex

    Perhaps his avatar has not been updated since a purchase or he owns two aircraft?

    The Bravo has Lycoming

    Are you referring to the engine for the Bravo, the TIO-540-af1b?

    I had occasion recently to need the voltage regulator for my 1994 Mooney M20M. MooneySpace really came through! I read other posts about Consolidated Aircraft Supply in NY and I decided to contact them. They repaired mine and shipped it back to me in 12 hours at the originally quoted fee of $350 plus the cost of one transistor. Very friendly and efficient people. Here's their website for those who may need their services: Consolidated Aircraft Supply

    Just to update those who are interested, Textron just shipped the new 40D23255-340M coupling I ordered in January. Current ship date if ordered today is October. Price is $1947.98 retail (shops are able to order at a modest discount).

    Please search this Forum for "exhaust clamp" or "V-Band clamp" or "coupling". You will see that there are none to be had anywhere. Write your Congressman. Pray. Repeat. That's about all that's left for us to do.

    What happened that necessitates this IRAN?
  16. alextstone
    Take the price of both units and then double that and you will be in the ballpark

    May I ask, why did you sell the Acclaim?

    I own a maintenance shop near New Orleans. We had two aircraft, a2005 Ovation and a 1995 Bravo in our shop recently both of which had previously undiscovered causes for extremely stiff trim, one elevation and one rudder. We were able to determine the cause and repair. If you're willing to come as far a KPIB in South MS, I weeks like to have my guys attempt to settle your issue for you. Two other options, of course, are too either take it to Maxwell or to the service center at the Mooney factory. Alex Alex Touchstone Divided Sky Aviation Cell: 601-470-7092

    OP, you should do some honest self assessment. How comfortable are you with the Archer you currently fly? Do you feel like you're "behind the plane" a lot or so you feel like you're waiting until the right time to make the next input? Are you a fast learner? A Mooney M2C is not a HUGE step up if you're already secure in your foundation. Also, congrats on jumping into this wonderful life expanding skill as a "middle aged" guy (coming from a 56yo who's feeling his age) Alex

    Questions: did you also change plugs and wiring harnesses and if so, how long has the old ones been in service?

    I called John Paul at GAMI just now. They are a long way off in that they are developing the smaller diameter of the two clamps they will offer (ours will be the larger one) first. They will have a prototype of ours soon. Then they must clear FAA approval, THEN they will start working on the AML one aircraft at a time. He said EOY at the earliest but I would not hold my breath.
  22. alextstone
    Do you know of anyone I could "collude" with?
  23. alextstone
    Just for grins, anyone hear an update on the ETA of these clamps?
  24. alextstone
    Milwaukee makes a great one
  25. alextstone
    I keep my TIT at 1550 or below.
