M20C Tommy

My go to place for hardware is Aircraft Spruce. Just get a box of 100 for a few bucks. Its the proper structural screw and way more affordable than Ace.

I have a 65 M20C and had a similar experience. Theres another schematic that shows all the access panels. (I dont have the drawing on hand but I could find it for the exact number panel) If you go under the plan on the passenger side right under the front passenger seat, thats the access panel for the flap pump. (On this drawing thats shared, part 1 located near "cabin tubular structure ref". Remember your oil for your flaps is also the oil for your brakes.

That's simple quick math! Thank you for your help

Thank you! Solid Panel! Twin G5s is great.

I have seen the name Lasar many times in regards to Mooney but have yet to get that far. I'm using a 1966 M20C Mark 21 POH. I'll check out the 77 POH! I met some people while I was at Don Maxwell who live close by me. I'll set something up. I have a company that specializes in high end doors and windows where most of the windows I work on cost around the price of my plane lol. The go to lubricant by the manufacturer is corrosion x and we use it for corrosion resistance. Its the red can. Much appreciated for all the help in such a short period of time! This really is a cool space.

It worked smoothly and then got stuck. That would make sense because when I went to pick the plane up, it had some water in the left wing and the sump drain hardly dripped. The A&P pulled the drain plug and replaced it since it was rusty on the inside... It flew fine the 1st 2 flights with 4 hour legs, swapping the tanks every hour.

WOT was giving me 19MP. I retarded to 17 since there wasnt much of a change in speed and I needed to conserve some fuel when my fuel selector got stuck.

Yes, 135 MPH on the air speed indicator.

I need some assistance on this question. I have a 1965 M20C Mark 21. This is my 1st Mooney and 1st complex. I've been trying to fly the plane by the numbers in the POH and I'm getting drastically low speeds. Take off and climb seems to be by the book but a little less with climb out 115 mph at 650 FPM. Cruise is where is gets interesting. I level off and keep the same settings for a few minutes to stabilize then adjust my settings. Mixture is leaned out RPM set to 2400 at 17 MP at 9500 feet and I'm flying at 135 MPH. Not the 175 MPH in the POH. I played with the settings and went down to 2200 RPM, 2300 RPM, and tested the variety of MP setting in the POH and was getting the same low numbers. The last Annual said all 4 cylinders had between 74 and 78 so I dont think it's a compression issues. Anything is possible. Also my fuel selector worked like butter for a few flights and now its stuck on the left tank. Is there a way to free it up or am I stuck buying a new fuel selector? I sprayed it with corrosion x to see if that will loosen it up.
