  1. there is an earlier thread about repairing this duct rather than replacing it. I Recently use the method of painting on RTV then two layers of fiberglass cloth. I'm going to inspect it frequently to see how it holds up
  2. at the cowl end. An A&P had "repaired" it. but I found the nut just bouncing around in the cowling. It clamps on to the stiff piano wire that extends out of the cable housing. Mine does not have any type of locking mechanism in the cockpit. Other models have a locking mechanism at the handle rather than the over center mechanism in mine
  3. in my f model I had a similar problem with the Ram air. Mine works by moving the lever connected directly to the ram air "over center" so that outside pressure holds it closed rather than pushing it open. It may be as simple as loosening the nut on the end of the cable and moving it to where it goes over center when the control arm is moved to the closed position
  4. Avare is a free EFB for android, Has W&B. I like it
  5. Mine is tucked between the two rear seat cushons
  6. I had a similar issue, found fuel at the inboard senders in front of the rear seat. I just gave each of the screws a quarter turn and the smell went away
  7. Andy at the air frame company in Woodland (a very short hop from Placerville) cleaned up the mess that Lasar left behind when they bugged out of California. He is an expert on Mooneys and I think he does pre-buys. Highly recommended. andy@airframe.company
  8. If your ram air is like mine, the cable is easy to adjust. May need to disconnect a light to reach it. Just get is so it goes over center when closed
  9. I have this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B28HRSBP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 works great.
  10. Strange happenings with the electrical bits of my 69 M20F Some times when I do my preflight, the stall warning fails, but if I go back and cycle the master switch, it works again. The pilot side PTT failed while on a flight, I had to switch my headset to the copilot side and reach over to activate the mic. When back at the hanger I tried tracing the wire to find the fault, but never did. I didn't fix anything but the next time I went to use the plane it had fixed itself. The transponder shows antenna fault, but if I push on the face or turn it off then on it starts working again. The electric trim failed (clicks but does not roll). This week the GNS530 failed (powers up but does not acquire satellites or send or receive via the radio. Does anyone have an Idea of a single point of failure that could tie all these glitches together? thanks
  11. Slip for airspeed? My F has speed brakes,,, that are broken and I'm too cheap to send them back for repair. Slipping for altitude is easy, did that plenty with my CFI, but I can find very little written about using a slip to loose airspeed, in lieu of the speed brakes. At what speed can I enter a level flight slip and not put too much stress on the airframe?
  12. I still have all these removed avionics. If any thing I send you turns out to be a dud I'll take it back.
