    @Hradec did — has a thread on here showing him doing the work - he is an A&P…

    My daughter and her husband both own Teslas. They don’t do a whole lot of long distance travel (unlike my wife and I). For them it made sense and they figured they could rent a gas powered vehicle if needed. Not for me but if my driving was local, I can see the benefits. Lots of chargers here in DFW so it works for them - if they need a supercharger vs home charger. Traveling long distances- not ready for prime time… -Don

    Glad to hear the corrosion fix is done! The one on my Mooney was installed years ago and looks like it was ~$1500 at the time of the gear up fix (2006). Not sure who has them now besides LASAR. Maybe @Alan Fox might? -Don

    PTT ready to go. I'll have that hooked up during annual (after Maxwell's does the swap). Pretty easy to do after I figured out how to route the wires through the PC tubes. After I got everything done, I was able to push the PTT switch into the cavity where the PC switch was. I used a vacuum cap and cut it, put it in the opening, and after the switch was soldered and shrink tubed, was able to push it in after confirming the fit. Fit is real nice and the PTT switch is in very solidly set -- can be removed too if need be. -Don

    lol. I wasn’t too concerned. I told them I like the original mock up anyway… -Don

    Not on purpose, just how it was stitched… -Don

    And posted videos on YouTube too - if it’s a real accident, how did he get all those camera angles to post? No brainier for the courts on this one… -Don

    See if there is a local steering wheel shop that leather wraps steering wheels. I used a local shop near me and they turned out great: -Don

    For his only fans channel? I know - shouldn’t say that… -Don

    I did look at this one but the schedule part is very tough for the same reason, traffic from Carrollton. Thanks! -Don

    I’d like to fine one here in DFW! -Don

    This may be a good place to start: https://themooneyflyer.com/cfi.html -Don

    @gwav8or, I’m in Mesquite but that is a no brainer flight for me ;o). I flew out of GYI before I moved to Mesquite. I’m flying tomorrow and could pop up there for a meet n greet… Mine goes for Annual mid January. All for helping each other… -Don

    While not on your field, SWTA @ 84R is a 35 minute flight west. J.D and group are excellent and know Mooneys… and of course Maxwells is north/north east of you @ KGGG - about and hour flight. Just in case no-one has a recommendation on field for you… -Don

    I fixed my 66 Mooney. You will want to take off the panel. Some are 2 piece. Mine was one piece… scroll down a bit on my thread and you’ll see where I started… -son

    Ran 22 gauge wire in the pilots yoke to install a PTT switch -- unfortunately, I ordered the wrong PTT -- and need a SPST NO (normally open) switch -- the one I ordered (not looking closely when I ordered this one) was NC (normally closed) -- not a good thing for a 'mic'. So, once that gets in, I'll get the switch done and have it ready to be installed during annual. Have enough 22ga wire to run to replace the existing Velcro switch when the time comes. -Don

    I’m doing that with Maxwells. I’m 50 hours away from the required time. Don told me they have a legal way to check without having to fully remove the pins/yokes. Since I’m having leather yokes installed, I figured it was a good time to do both while the yokes are off… -Don

    Alright! Scheduled for 12/12 with Maxwells to do the 500 hour shaft inspection and install my leather yokes (as long as the weather holds out ;o) That will give me a good chance to try the new yokes out! -Don

    This is my ‘66 Mooney M20C @ 2400 RPM, 21" WOT @9000 ft: 173 MPH true (150 KNOTS) leaned to 8.2 GPH block time - very consistent. Does have speed mods: just an idea to consider… -Don

    Well, Good timing on the control yokes - the ad is due in 50 hours so I’ll get that done at the same time… played with the ICARUS, very nice unit… When there is no ‘noise’ can hear it buzz a bit. Works like a champ - can’t wait to use it… -Don

    Bumping this - does anyone have the torque spec for the pin and set screw?` -Don

    I have this now to do simulated IMC; https://www.icarusdevices.com -Don

    I do this on every flight when I’m outside of my home dome, for the reasons you listed… -Don
