I love this! I have a buddy that is gonna print one for me. I have a couple dumb questions. 1. Will it also work for the copilot side on the right side of the yoke? 2. You got the part #7400K111 ?

Not a mechanic but that sounds like a battery issue. Have you tested the battery to see what the cold cranking amps are? Not a mechanic so I am probably wrong but it’s where I’d start. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not an A/P but I agree with Savvy, that looks like cracks in the deposits. I'd have your mechanic clean it properly and thoroughly (per Savvy instructions/advice) and see where it's at after.

I personally like having the option of an analog backup. When I did my panel upgrade, I purposefully kept my kx-155 with GS and had it refurbished just so I could keep the VOR/LOC/GS functionality. I may never need it but it's a little peace of mind just having it.

Yup, McFarlane all the way. Also while you're at it you should go ahed and get the prop cable too. When I got the McFarlane TPM cables, I also had them rearranged in the more standard throttle, prop, mixture arrangement.

Glad to hear she's back in the air Don! I know it's been more than a month (and probably seemed like 6) but that has to be the quickest "rebuild" of an engine i've ever seen! Congrats!

A very important detail, kind sir is that I have a 1967 M20F, not a C. :-)

Well fortunately for me, I don't have the doghouse. But from what I understand, part of the aluminum baffling has to come off and according to the mechanic, the alternator also had to come off. So, that along with the Power Boost inlet and the oil cooler the bottom cowl had to come off. idk but after looking at it more closely myself that seemed accurate. To my untrained eye.

Yeah, after taking the cheek cowls off and looking more closely at what would need to be done, I agree. It's more involved than a few simple bolts/screws. For those that say it's only a couple hours, I'd like to see a full uncut video of someone removing and replacing the cowl on an unmodified 67 F.

Yeah, I agree it's more work than I thought.

The shop rate is lower than average. I had a pwc worked on recently and their hourly rate is 50% higher than my A&P. I know I shouldn't complain.

Do you still have the power boost intake, cable and oil cooler on the front cowl? I watched a guy drop the bottom cowl on a J and it was super easy. Only thing to worry about was the landing light.

Yeah, I'v wondered the same thing. The only thing I can think of that would be in the way is the power boost intake boot. Not sure though.

Yeah, I didn't think about the intake duct. You're right, that would be a bear.

Yep, the 172 I fly occasionally has the same starter which is the reason I went with the SkyTec. Looking forward to it. Wonder if the high speed starter will make any difference in hot/warm starts?
