Can't wait.

Thank you. I'll check it out right away.

Hello all, I might get sent to Palo Alto or Irvine temporarily but long enough to want to bring my plane along. What's the hangar situation like around there? I'm willing to commute up to 1 hr each morning if that means living close to a hangar. Thanks for your help.

Is that true that you need to pay to use their ATC but you can only pay inside Mexico and at a Mexican bank? Thanks.

Sorry, I don't feel like arguing with you. Google it for yourself. Anyway, reread where I said "my guess". It was a guess. Everybody here is sharing their opinions/guesses. If you're not happy with my guess, ignore my profile, and you'll never see me again. Live long and prosper.

As a lowly 1600hr CFI with no jet experience, I watched the videos numerous times. I noticed that the right gear was lower than the left gear: that's a sideslip to align the fuselage with the runway. All other videos I've seen on airliners and the times I was a guest in the Gulfstream Sim at flight safety, the technique was to either land sideways and then align or to kick in the rudder while in flare. So my guess is that the plane landed on the right gear first and the wing tip touched the runway. Due to runway ice and slush, it didn't just skid but rather got stuck, so the wing fell off. Maybe the hard landing collapsed the right gear, exacerbating the wing touching the runway. @Andy95W please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm glad all walked away from this unfortunate event.

Hi, could you check the part number of the hose next time you open the cowling? It should be imprinted in the metal sleeve. Thanks. Thanks.

Hi Andy, thanks. Per that spruce site "The Aeroquip 303 and Stratoflex 111 are equivalent to each other, and some have used parts interchangeably". One reason I asked is that these hoses are rated to 250F. Isn't that tight for oil temps if the red arc is 240F? Which spec? There were no Teflon hoses in this plane in 1967. Teflon is type D. Type C is good enough for these planes. Sorry, not spending 4AMU on an oil hose.

Hi, Are oil cooler lines made of stratoflex 111? The mooney part number doesn't specify that. Thanks.

Guys, Ssp-885-2 requires the use of POB or equivalent gasket sealant on the Donaldson oil filter adapter gasket. I can't find POB on aviation sources. People mention POB ( Perfect Seal #4 for that matter) on marine sites but boats are for rich people. I'm a cheap mooney driver. What can I use? Thanks.

$250 each. Any takers?

Can you post a picture?

Bumping up. Any takers?
