  1. Not owner assist. I generally don't like owner assist unless I know them. I usually spend more time answering questions than inspecting. I use the Mooney checklist. If the owner wants to accomplish things like changing oil and washing the engine before hand that will save him some money. My rate covers looking at the aircraft and doing the paperwork. Oil changes and wheel bearings are extra and billed by the hour. If the owner wants to do them then they save that cost. If they do all of the panel opening before I get there I will knockoff for that time. I always close. I have gotten bit by an owner who closed up a screwdriver in the belly panel so that is not going to happen again. I know it seems petty but once bitten twice shy as the saying goes... Mark
  2. I generally charge 2500. 2000 if I have done it before. Mark
  3. Usually their face when they face plant on the wing. The only thing holding them up is a spring and they will go down when stepped on. Mark
  4. I have the 2500 setup in my Baron. I am very happy with it and would do it again. Only change would be another Aspen on the right side. Probably would not have room for that in my Mooney. Mark
  5. It could be either depending on the flywheel part number. Best to count them. Mark
  6. I am an hour south of you. I can come up and take a look at it when the weather clears if you still need help. Mark
  7. Mooney aircraft use a 35 series battery (12 volt). You cannot use a 25. I would never put a wet cell battery in an airplane. Just my opinion... Mark
  8. You should be twisting first and then push. Mark
  9. Aircraft spruce has them. Standard part.
  10. I work in a shop in Carbondale IL. I can send you information if you are interested. Mark
  11. It is possible that there is air in the system. A very aggressive rpm check would probably eliminate most of it. Sometimes it just has to work itself out. Mark
  12. I am not sure which Bracket filter you have but the one I have uses the 6108 filter which is the same as the one used in the 172. it is about 12.80 from spruce. I change it at 100 hours or annual. Mark
