Missile=Awesome

I would think Cee Cee at Brittain could get language for installation. It is just an improvement on the remote controller. Jerry wanted to install one in my ‘66 when plane was at Tulsa, but ours was working great. Gentleman that bought our plane with a functioning PC and Accuflite/AccuTrak and Altitude hold pulled ALL out for dual G5 install. The equipment would likely be for sale. I can reach out if you or anyone else is interested...

LOL. I am thinking I was the layman Vance. Your explanation found is much more precise and detailed...and of course correct. My response was as a “user layman” in how I used the system in our old ‘66 E. Pitch and altitude hold were very nice features and worked “pretty well”. Our Accu-Trak System 20 with add on System 60 PSS is far superior in function.

The more I thought about my comment, the more I believe I am incorrect. I did not have the TC100 installed. I had the remote controller for PC with accu-flute and Accu-Trak add on’s installed later...

Pull pitch in a climb or decent and it holds that pitch/decent level. Can also pull in level flight and trim it is “locking in that pitch”. Will stay close to level without pulling altitude hold. THAT will adjust if plane goes a little up or down to the level you set.

I believe that plugs into a DG with heading bug

You SHOULD get excited. You have the makings of a great auto-pilot! You first need to inspect the boots for ailerons and rudder to make sure they are not leaking. Yes the rubber gasket in the yoke button can also need replacement. The main control (you stated not turn coordinator) may also be non-functional. If it is I would replace with a TC100 turn coordinator controller. The accu-Trak will track a GPS heading very well. Or a VOR. The Accu-Flite uses a DG with heading bug and is EXCELLENT! To use altitude hold you pull the pitch and trim for level flight (or climb). Once trimmed you pull the altitude hold and it will HOLD altitude. There is an adjustment in the tailcone under a rubber boot (flat screwdriver) to adjust if the sight window is NOT aligned. Result is that when you cancel the pitch you are out of trim and plane will pitch up or down. Not sure why you are so concerned about a stall with autopilot on? The Brittain stuff is NOT approved for approaches JUST for cruising. The wing leveler alone is a nice safety feature. There is an electric (under panel) solenoid that eliminates the need for the yoke button. You flip a panel or yoke switch and it uses pressure to hold vacuum open or closed. It is OFF no use of solenoid when pc is on (most of time) when maneuvering you flip the rocker and it uses electricity to shut off vacuum to PC system.

I needed a manual and a Mooneyspace member (I won’t volunteer him) helped me out along with his wonder wife. I now have an e-mail version of my Service AND Parts manual which will come in very handy no doubt. The knowledge and kindness of Mooneyspace members is a reaffirmation that good will is out there for those in need. I am grateful to have the resource...

He had stated that he HAD found and purchased the “right” manual that covered his ‘84. He was offering to “help someone out” with the incorrect manual he purchased on Ebay” I believe...

Mine works fine. Guess I am cheating death with a runaway trim without the split control...who knew?...

What is the purpose in having the switch “split”?

I have the System 60 PSS and it is NOT a split trim on yoke. It is just the standard elevator trim. Who made/makes the standard yoke trim switch you see on Mooney aircraft?

Brother, ain’t THAT the truth. Even speaking in code becomes a “steal it” game on a public forum...

Most importantly you escaped demonic possession by five digits...But seriously, this is a time capsule that “presents” very well, but the engine should be considered run out and priced to fly “on condition” based on time since overhaul. The avionics are dated for sure and ADSB and a digital Nav. Com will be on list “soon” as well as G5’s or Aspens that will bump this “buy” by $60k. Deals can be found. Recently purchased a sub-$100k missile with 530 and 430 and 330 as well as functioning STEC with altitude hold and comparable leather...BE PATIENT. This plane is priced HIGH based on engine and avionics IMO. Good luck in your devil free search...

Naw. Nosewheel up, but the mains didn’t break ground I don’t think. Nice wheelie though...

PM Sent. Thanks for consideration Jer. Scott

These individuals need to be hunted down and punished to the fullest extent of the law. This is shenanigans at a level that is no bueno. I hope they string them up by their privates in the public square. THIS shall not stand...

I don’t sweat...I perspire. If you are going to do something do it well...Just a sign of a system working as designed. Now if you stop sweating...THAT is a problem. My dogs enjoy cleaning me up in cool down mode. Nice salty snack

The transformation of old sealant to stripped in a Mooney tank by Paul Beck at Weep No More is quite a sight to behold...

Anyone have a good copy of a 1980 J Parts Manual or suggestion on where to obtain said manual?

Cliffey, My question has NOT been answered. The original poster didn’t identify what model his plane was. NOT every owner has a parts catalog for their model...That’s why they come to Mooneyspace with a question. 1. The first valve (after later clarification) photo is for a bladder on ? Mooney models. 2. Second (Left valve) is for what Model and tank capacity? This stuff can make a huge difference when you are trying to get the “right” part. My take away is that parts diagrams on line often don’t have good detail and get me a clear “answer” to my question. Second take-away, Parts guys at Mooney Service Centers are invaluable. Thanks for your reply.

O.K. What is the first valve that was shown Clarence? Is that a valve for a vintage Pre-J Mooney? I replaced valves on ‘66 and that valve did NOT have the rubber gasket as shown in these photos. This is great information. Thank you.

Deleted because I am not Clarence. Great photo below with part number. My question is: Does the valve change for different vintage planes based on tank size/configuration? Is this the valve for WHAT models of Mooney’s or ALL Mooney’s?

The “devil” is in the details

Economy supported...

So much for a C63S lol...Ended up purchasing a new VW Arteon (2019 SE 4Motion). All wheel drive for Iowa Winters and better fuel economy and function (Sportback will fit a couple of dog crates and clubs with seats folded) made more sense, sigh....Drove into Chicago and got a fantastic deal because...everybody wants SUV’s now days. I had a manual CC and put over 120k on it with no service except oil changes. Love the blind spot and rear alert for nanny’s. The Apple CarPlay is also AWESOME. 268HP and 258torque from a four with DSS (damping adjustments) make it a pleasure. Not fast, but very adequate...and 30+ MPG. Better warranty in ‘19 vs. ‘20 and no changes...Model refresh has less buttons and NO all wheel drive in my SE trim. Looking forward to using as a daily driver in upcoming retirement from Insurance grind...
