Also concerned about this. All the others I’ve seen have been goofy looking when installed bc they are so long.

Me too. But I’m not as chicken about it at altitude. So, I pay very close attention to how much fuel, in gallons, remains in each tank. Im doing math with the fuel totalizer and backing it up with expected burn. I practically burn one dry before I start my descent. I’ve never gotten below 2-3 gallons and thus never had a pressure drop or sputter, but the conservative math I use shows I’m right on the edge. Then, when I make my final tank switch, I have a pile of gas in the active tank which will be the one I approach and land on. My fuel flow meter is out of adjustment by about 4 total gallons over the full 64 gallons, on the conservative side. Adds a little more margin and probably why I’ve never ran one dry. the cirrus I fly is calibrated perfectly, down to the decimal.

As has often been pointed out, not having to stop for gas is the best speed mod. If I’m by myself and the weather isnt crap near destination, I can really stretch it out. Pee bags and snacks, good to go. I have a bad lower back but for whatever glorious reason, it does not bother me sitting in my airplane. It’s a real serendipitous suprise actually. In the car I’m aching after a few hours. I’ll accept a lower airspeed, around 140 deep LOP around 8.5GPH bc going 160 and stopping for gas is still slower. sucking on O2 really helps too. Even if staying at 7-8k

I did 800nm in an 18 Kt headwind, 6.5 start to shutdown, had 12 gallons when I landed. friend did 850 from KOSH to near Jacksonville FL last week in a J if the winds are right, 1000.

Like an F. it’s the same concept as above, more or less.

I will buy some if somebody has a 3d printer

Heresy. J bars never have issues. -Anyone on the internet with a J bar

@Danb I had the issue. Before stripping out the screw, uninstall it and put the joint in a vice. It will tighten up the clamping ability ever so slightly where the tightening screw can do its job without fighting the loose tolerance of the clamping block. Fixed.

Wow….

Would the manual extend cable even be an Eaton part? I would think their contribution stops at the actuator itself. Doubt there’s even anybody to talk to about a Mooney actuator at such a huge conglomerate

And it’s got loctite in the little crown.

That’s a long way to go in between forums and events for lunch….

My 77 J has a tiny bulb and socket just above the indicators that shines down on the indicator. It’s a small metal shrouded screw-in with an opening only in the direction of the flap/trim indicator. Both the bulbs and the sockets are off the shelf parts with a little digging. My map light under the yoke is the same, I just replaced both the bulb and socket. another thing you can do when hunting parts is open up the IPC in an adobe reader and search for words within the text. “Light” or “bulb” or “indicator” and it may reveal what you’re looking for. Pretty cool that the computers now understand the text in scanned documents.

I agree. The food at the north and south clubs on the line wasn’t bad. But it’s like $150 ticket. I felt like the food court was just A&W burgers X 30. More cow bell. More A&W.
