You should check the cost of new cylinders for the IO-390- I have heard less than glowing reports also

I am looking for the switch parts numbers for the ETA. The maintenance manual says see 800 330 (E7) for my serial (1443) but the copy is not legible. Can anyone help me with the part numbers for the foll0wing? I am trying to the part number, contact rating and amp rating for each.

wow-quite a collection but my bird has ETAs Thanks

I am considering replacing the the stock ETA rocker switches in my 201 with ETA's 3120 series. Has anyone tried the 3120s? Thanks

Hi Glen I hear you like your Mooney. I love mine. I am about to have my panel updated and am trying to replace all of the switches. Finding circuit breaker switches sounds like it should be easy but it isn't. There is company called Shapeways that prints new covers. My bird has ETA switches like yours probably does. I may be just replacing the covers. Having a 40 year old switch give up the ghost on a trip would be a bummer. I am thinking new would be better. If finding new circuit breaker switches turns out to be a giant pain I will go with just the covers. I have also thought about changing to toggle style circuit breaker with stainless switch guards-kind of a retro look. The guy who has the hangar next to me just completed a Velocity and has them installed with the same avionics I am installing and they look great. Good luck with your new bird. Curt

I am get starting the annual on my 1984 201. I want to treat it with CorrosionX. Does anyone have any instructions on treating the control surfaces and the horizontal and vertical tail? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Hi I will be working with an A&P/IA on an annual for my bird at the end of the month. Where is the best place to buy a digital copy of the maintenance manuals and parts manual? Is there a list of what hardware I should have on hand before the annual starts? I want to use corrosion block or boeshield during the work. Are there any writeups on the procedure? Thanks!

Yes I did my brother Jim was his engineering assistant on the Avtec 400. What a man! I visited him in his home near the Mooney plant.

Thanks very much- Roy was an awesome human being- I miss him every day.

Thanks for the picture of my Dad. He started putting me in T6s and T33s before I could walk. I never really had a chance! I worked with him on the development of the 201 starting in 1974 in the experimental shop. I had a customer surfboard business prior to moving to Kerrville and was good at shaping things and making molds. I built some of the original 201 mods-first slopped windshield and some of the fairings. I then worked in the flight test and structures department while I was getting my engineering degree. Mooneys are a part of our family. I was very happy to finally get my own. Curt PS I just saw your post today.

I am thinking I will probably do it. Thanks

Thanks I will start with him. Appreciate you help!

Thanks- I will have to deside if it is worth the effort.

Good point. I think the auto has been in the bird since it left Kerrvile. Any idea of the value for parts?

What about the auto pilot?

So the mechanism penetrates the spar web and also goes into the fuel tank?

Do you have the complete system?

Thanks I contacted him about them.

New territory- wish I had some pictures of the installation.

It was a big gulp for me- but at 65 the dress rehearsals are over!

I came to agreement with an avionics shop that will be installing a 750,G5, G3X , 355 , GFC-500, a new panel and hopefully new switches in my 201.They offered me a trade in for the stuff I am replacing, a complete KAP-150 system works perfect, 530w,GDL 69, KX155 and head , KR87, Altimeter,VSI, A/S , turn and bank, cluster gage. Also all the antennas. Any opinion what this stuff is worth and how hard it be to sell them?if someone was converting an E or F to a J this would be most of the pilots panel.

Have you ever seen them installed on 201s?

Thanks- have any contact for the salvage yard? Do you know if anyone has installed them on a J model? Regards

Really don't want to add cb but I may have to

Thank you every much for your help!
