I like the iPod on the panel!

Thanks for all the resources and descriptions! (also thanks for the google doc someone posted in another post -- couldn't find it now but have it downloaded) To coordinate a time with my A&P to do this, have an estimate for how long does the whole process of removing and replacing the wire take (already have new steel wire)?

37 hours labor for nose pucks is crazy. Even completely removing and rebuilding NLG won’t even get you close to that. -
Al Mooney numbered all his planes, from the M1 up to (don't recall what the last one was). The mooney mite was the M18 for example. I recommend reading his biography, interesting history: The Al Mooney Story: They All Fly Through the Same Air

the taxi down to south 40 was awful. great experience otherwise!

Also, I carry a small runner rug to roll down over the wing-walk. Some doggies don't like stepping on it so the rug helps. Make sure it's red

That's awesome! Flying with PnP is super rewarding, you'll have a blast! Large crates don't fit in my F (I haven't played with removing the back for the rear seat, maybe then I can fit in something larger). So larger dogs have gone uncrated in the back seat. Smaller dogs always crated. Also, if transporting uncrated dogs I strongly encourage to bring someone along to help. If pups are crated then you're ok solo. Happy to chat more if you have any questions! Feel free to DM me!

I'm curious, picture?

Found it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7093747 Very helpful! Though the eyeball vent part is for a beech-style old vent. wonder if anyone might update the file for the standard round ones one can get on spurce?

Debating whether to go to OSH this year, would love to go and camp -- get the full experience. Forecasts looking kinda crappy though, so will decide closer to the date. I was thinking of requesting camping at GAC-N (GA Camping, north 40). Wondering if anyone had any suggestions? PS: would love to do caravan but can't make it that day plus need to do their training, so not an option this year.

Bot may be onto something, we might be missing an important step in the preflight checklist: - Fuel - Weather - Pay United’s change fee with an Air Canada confirmation number and a Southwest voucher via Turkish Airlines support chat - Weight and Balance...

FAA CARES: block ownership info on aircraft registry portal
Nico1 replied to shawnd's topic in General Mooney Talk
Not going to happen, no requirement for 3rd party sites to take down. Like everything online, once posted its there forever... That doesn't rule out asking politely for them to take down the info -
I'm pretty sure the instructions that came with it mentioned placing it near the remote switch for the ELT on the panel (that's where I ended up placing it). Just renewed mine a few days ago.

Did a few years ago. Fbo under new ownership now tho. Flew in/out ifr no issues
-
Last one was 1 week. Could have been 5 days but delayed for part. Easy and quick annual (in part thanks to sourcing parts over the course of the year that were flagged as eventually needing replacement - bearings etc.)

Will dig it up and post it, didn't know yellow tags were obsolete. Thanks!

Help settle marital paint scheme dispute!

I think #1 but with #2's colors would possibly look nice -
This. Depends on part (and on your A&P's comfort getting parts from salvage, etc.) Lasar/MSCs, Aircraft Spruce, etc. Parts manuals are available somewhere here. When in doubt searching the forum helps (I found using google to search MS works better than its built in search engine, for example: "[part number or name] site:mooneyspace.com"), many times others went on similar expeditions to find a specific part. If that fails, posting about it here also can help. Good luck with the search!

Bendix S4LN-200 Magneto (p/n 10-163005-1) Overhauled by Columbia in 2021 (yellow-tagged). 0 hrs since overhaul. Overhauled the engine in 2021 and sent them a Surefly too late (they had already overhauled the mags). A local mechanic advised to hold onto it for a bit just in case the e-mag failed. A few years and hundreds of hours later, I think I can let go of the mag. Asking $1,100 obo

if it was online already, will probably be posted somewhere for ever -- just like anything online. -

Same!

Am building my own engine dehumidifier, closed circuit. One question i didn’t find a good answer to: are there any dangers of any byproducts the silica gel beeds that could potentially be harmful to the engine? Dont want the medicine to be worse than the disease…

Please post the after scraping photos, will be interesting to see! (And of the process too if possible!)

This is exactly how I was taught. Keep hand on gear lever until panel green, then confirm with floor indicator. Then several checks at different points. Same procedure putting gear up or any config change really. (Helps with not forgetting boost pump when switching tanks too!) also a popped CB is quite noticeable even from peripheral view in my experience.

Checking previous landing that day, approach speeds were quite similar and just as slow about 1.5nm from threshold. Of course ADSB is ground speed so without wind aloft info hard to tell actual airspeed. Going from near idle to full throttle can sound like that, esp if pushing the throttle abruptly with the governor's lag in adjusting the surge in RPM. Very sorry for your loss, and their families. Very sad.
