Hello all, I recently had my 1974 M20C Ranger in for its annual inspection (a new shop, not an MSC, but some experience in make and model), and they noticed some play in the nose gear. I’ve attached a video link for reference. There’s no ground shimmer during taxi or landing, and everything feels stable, but the play caught our attention. I’ve searched through the maintenance manual but couldn’t find any specific tolerance limits regarding nose gear play. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15VBGaubPO-E5mtGMee9vACe65R7zJ1XG/view?usp=sharing Has anyone else encountered this? Is this level of play typical for the M20C, or is it something that needs to be addressed? I appreciate any insights or advice. Thanks in advance for your help! Best, Kurt

The two best upgrades for me have been the GFC500 and the sidewinder tug. I flew many years hard IFR without either, but it's like a hangar; you would not consider not having once you have—the reduced work, safety, and ease of use are transformative and appreciated on every flight. Also, I have the EDM830 EM, and while I value the detailed information for optimizing the engine performance, early ID of problems, and troubleshooting, it would be further down my upgrade list (revisit this rank after actual inflight engine failure). Good luck with your upgrades, and fly safe k

Hi VL, I had a similar experience after installing a new Knots 2U door seal on my C last year. The problem corrected itself after I let it sit with the door latched for three days in the hangar. However, if I leave the door open in the hangar overnight, the problem can reoccur even 9 months after the installation; ask me how I know. I had to cancel a recent trip. On the positive side, no more air or water leaks, one step forward, 2 back . The other positive is that I am not stuck inside without a door handle and a door that won't open. Good Luck k

Hi, I might be interested, I sent you a PM. Thanks k

10/10/23 Hi everyone, my plan 9 installation of the LHS did not work out, need to clear out items I no longer need. It's still new in the box as received. Is anyone interested? details below. thanks. k Greetings, I purchased the LHS-200-C new from Microkit Solutions in March 2023 for $1,165. The plan was to install it during my fall annual, but I have had to divert from those plans. It’s still in the box with all the paperwork and needs a new home. The warranty doc in the box states it’s not transferable, but I will accept returns for 30 days; 20% discount on the price—free shipping in the USA.

Hi All short-body flyers. Here are some recent savvy flight data from a cohort of 77, M20(A-D) for comparison to your personal numbers. Don't laugh or judge me for my lower power/TAS choices. Best wishes, k 20230305 Trend Analysis Report N7763M.pdf

Hi, sorry @Alan Fox and @mwavionics; for some reason, your messages did not flag on my inbox, but yes, I have the original 337, 8130, and it sold very quickly after posting to the main forum. Thanks for your interest. k

Sorry @PeteMc, at least they are aware and have a history of addressing issues as they develop in a reasonable time. So hopefully, they will have your patch soon.
