    Looks like my switch is not working. Did anyone have one of the repair kits that they would like to get rid of or know where I can find one? I've check controller and ebay, and there doesn't appear to be any for sale a the moment.

    I use this spreadsheet: https://themooneyflyer.com/Excel/AircraftStatusSheet.xlsx

    Thanks @EricJ. That definitely looks like it.

    I'm still troubleshooting an intermittent problem starting my 1979 M20K but suspect the starter relay/solenoid. The two part numbers (24059 and 6041H-105A) in the ipc do not look like what is installed. Can anyone identify the part in the picture? I assume I'm looking at the right part, it connects directly to the starter from the left terminal.

    I also use it to switch on a dehumidifier. I'd probably put the lights on the 4th channel, the light switch is on the wrong side of the hangar.

    I've been happy with mine, although I would buy a 4 channel instead of the 2 now.

    My 79 POH says 2000, I was instructed in transition training to use 1800.

    LOL. Yeah, long day. Monoxide, dioxide, trioxide, whatever it takes.

    All good ideas listed above, especially the CO2 detector. With winter on the way, if you live where it drops below 40 deg you will want a way to warm the oil. If you don't have installed pre-heater, one of these and a couple of blankets work for me. https://www.amazon.com/Twin-Hornet-22-Airplane-Engine-Pre-Heater/dp/B00F8MCWDI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

    Yeah, there are a few trade-offs living here. We don't want to make it seem too attractive or everyone will move here.

    I did a one pre and three post flight tests. The first showed slightly slower, the second showed slightly faster and the third was slightly slower. In the end, the average of the three post flight test showed less than a knot slower on my K. The weight and CG of each flight was similar but may of had enough difference to influence the numbers. I did float down the runway more than normal on my first landing, there is a noticeable effect.

    My local shop charges me $78/case and $26 for a filter. I don't mind him making a few bucks and it's always in stock a few hundred feet from my hangar.

    I found that changing the angle of the seat back makes a difference in comfort. In the right position, it can minimize the amount I have to twist my shoulders.

    Everyone is different but if you have good attention to detail and build good habits, you'll be fine. I purchased my first airplane about two years ago (with about 130 hours), a M20K and I really enjoy it. I didn't rush the transition and have learned a lot here on mooneyspace. So far, so good.

    I have the QT halos and Zulu 3s and use the QTs most of the time. Both reduce noise well (although differently) but the QTs are just much more comfortable.

    JPI lists starting points here: https://www.jpinstruments.com/FAQ/tranducer-k-factors/ But it can vary greatly and should be marked in the sender.

    Technically not my flight, although I did work my plane into the video. A U2 was taking off just after my flight while refueling. Pretty impressive. 20210720_090110.mp4

    Not a scoop, but try searching naca ducts. Racing suppliers will have them and they might work for what you are trying to accomplish.

    I was surprised at how well a dehumidifier works in a t-hangar. I picked one up for under $200 on amazon and it has worked great.
  23. spistora
    Inflation?

    Reviving an old thread, I have essential the same situation. Installed an 830 and the JPI OAT was about 8c higher than factory OAT. I rechecked today after ambient temps were normalized in the hangar overnight and the JPI OAT matched CHT/EGT temps and factory gauge was still about 8c lower. @NicoNdid you find a solution? I haven't checked factory probe connections for corrosion, that is my next step followed by an ice water check.
