    There used to be a STC to put a one piece belly panel on like newer aircraft had. Maybe LASAR?

    I picked up my precut baffle material from Guy Ginby. Here is the picture. I run take off to cruise full rich cowl flaps open and climb out 500fpm. That keeps the temps in line. If I climb at a slower speed my oil temps get high and cht. The baffles are tight so I think this is as good as it gets. I’m using a EI 30 P+c for engine data so I think I’m getting good numbers.

    I have one on my plane. The servo that retracts the step went bad soon after install. They replaced it fast and I have had no trouble since. I like the product and I think they have great customer service.

    https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/windowsealant.php?clickkey=4115 3m strip caulk is sold at aircraft spruce. Works great for this. The product doesn’t harden.

    I have used Gann Aviation in LaFayette Ga and Twin in Newnan Ga. I would use either of them again if I needed engine work. Gann posts prices on his web sight.

    Alex, John has helped me out of a pinch more than once. I honestly can’t get over how much Mooney stuff he has. Allen Fox is another person to keep in mind.

    Yes I went 64 gal. I think you would be fine with less capacity. No way at my age could I stay in the plane that long! You could always add those last two bladders later if you needed.

    I had to replace my wing. The parted out one had spent ten years in a hot hangar empty. The sealant was coming off in chunks. I stripped off the pro seal and was just about to start in replacing it when I had a moment of clarity. I bought the bladder STC and have been happy with my decision. I never want to strip sealant again. I did the install with supervision and it is working out well so far.

    I replaced the wing on my F. It was a big job and the only other option was parting her out.

    How many deg. Nose up gives you a Vy climb? Mine is nose low in cruise and nose high when going slow. I want a garmin A/P so I can use the flight director.

    On my 67’ the cable had slipped. It moved just enough that the door would always let heat into the plane.

    Guy’s stuff is nice. I have used them on 3 airplanes and 4 engines. Satisfied customer.

    My 67’ F runs hot oil temps when I’m running hard. The oil pressure also falls off at 215*. CHT’s are always good but I don’t have the dog house. I have the aft mounted oil cooler. I’m thinking about adjusting the cowl flaps a turn or so more open when in the closed position. So far I just power back or open the cowl flaps.

    With that much time on the motor and that you are putting cylinders on it why not do an O/H now? I never had a turbo so thats why I ask.

    10% of the yearly cost of having your airplane is tax. That is crazy.

    I painted the wing on my plane. It was a huge PIA. I think it’s one of those jobs you want to pay a shop to do. I had some trouble with primer blisters. If the primer was still gassing off it lifted when I painted. This was my first try at painting. Epoxy clogs paper fast. If you can’t get the paint on fast I think I would scotch bright and clean then paint. I watched a ton of videos about painting before I did it. I also have some issues with the clear sticking on my stripes. The photo showed the worst of it.

    My plane was done at that shop and 7 years later I was putting bladders in. Beechcraft may have been onto something when they put them into the bonanza. He does good work but it doesn’t take much to leak.

    Here is a hint for builders. When you cut the feet save a chunk of that 3/8 scrap and put it under the center where the jack goes. It makes a small gap under the ram that helps when the floor isn’t level. After you weld one side remove the 3/8 scrap. I have made about 8 for friends over the years and so far everyone is happy.

    https://www.csobeech.com/floor-jack.html The one by Russell S is what I made. It’s the second example on that link.

    I think Tony sold that shop to a long term employee. I have had work done with them and been happy with it. Not inexpensive but good quality. I wouldn’t mind taking my plane to a shop farther from my home but they would need to have a stellar reputation.

    Mine is doing the same thing but I haven’t had time to let the avionics shop look at it. One guy I talked to thinks the startup voltage of the roll servo is high. Post if you come up with a solution. Mine was working fine but started rocking back and forth on a 4 hour flight.

    I haven’t been able to find anyone willing to do the cowl swap. The STC is dead.

    I started keeping a log book of work I did under supervision of an A&P. I haven’t updated it in a long time. I’m thinking about building a Van’s. I will take a lifetime logging the time for the A and then the P.

    Did they do one on the J?

    Here is how I spent my money.
