Really need a picture of the piece to which you refer. Mark

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

What upgrade are you interested in?

I generally charge 2500. 2000 if I have done it before. Mark

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

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

Looks like a bolt for the baffling

It could be either depending on the flywheel part number. Best to count them. Mark

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

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

You should be twisting first and then push. Mark

Aircraft spruce has them. Standard part.

I work in a shop in Carbondale IL. I can send you information if you are interested. Mark

What is your time frame?? Mark

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

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

Yes it was at CPS. I do not have any pics of the interior just yet. I am not actively seeking to sell it yet, just seeing what interest there is in the aircraft. I have someone interested in it. He is local and is going to look at it tomorrow. Mark

I am considering selling my 63 M20D/C. I have not decided for sure to sell it. I have my eye on another aircraft and I might sell my Mooney. I can keep it but I dont really need 3 aircraft but I like them. If anyone is interested I can provide details. It has about 3800 TT. Engine has about 400 smoh 3800 ttsn. Prop has about 300 smoh. B hub. Several speed mods. It is not a museum piece but it is a good solid aircraft and I would fly it anywhere. Hangared since I know of. Older avionics but they all work. ADSB in and out with Stratus transponder and 3I. I am thinking 65K but when it is time to sell I would entertain offers. Let me know if you want to see it. Mark

In my physics class we had to figure the speed of sound in furlongs per fortnight. A lot of the students did not even know what a fortnight was.

When flying from a 4000ft paved runway I rarely use flaps. It is easier and the controls feel much more solid. I establish an approach on final at about 80mph and just hold it a ft or so off the runway and just let it quit flying and settle onto the runway. Nice and smooth and if I need to go around it is already trimmed up. When flying from my 1800 ft grass runway I always use full flaps and bring it in about 70 on final and 60 to 65 over the numbers. We'll it doesn't have numbers but you know what I mean. It will take just about all of the trim and if I go around I have to hold a lot of down force. At these speeds it very seldom will bounce. Yes I use mph, but it doesn't matter what the units, I just look for the right numbers. It could be furlongs per fortnight as long as the pilot is aware of what the number should be. Just my opinion mind you... Mark

Might it not be faster and cheaper to simply replace the condenser? Mark

I have really short arms and have to slide the seat back to get past my hangover. The tank switcher thingy is my best bet.... Mark

Cost me 20 bucks for 3 keys when I took the switch to a locksmith Mark

Keep in mind that there is more airflow into the right inlet than the left one during high angle of attack. Descending blade and all that. Same reason you need right rudder. Mark
