Hi All- Does anyone have any old four or five point harnesses they want to donate to a County SAR unit? We are upgrading our Helo dunker trainer, and would like to replace the two sets of harnesses that we use to practice underwater egress. Thanks, Norm

M20J Main Gear Tire and Tube Recommendations
SARNorm replied to SARNorm's topic in General Mooney Talk
Thanks to all for the good information and logical explanations. Very helpful. -
I am a new Mooney owner (1979 M20J) and want to replace the main gear tires and tubes. A friend (who doesn't fly Mooney's) suggested the Desser Retread Monsters. Does anyone have any experience with these tires? Will they fit in the M20J wheel wells? If not the Desser's, other recommendations? Any recommendations for tubes? And, what valve type (straight, 90 degrees, etc.) works best? Thanks for the information and help.

Copy that. Thank's very much for the info.

Thanks Don for the reply. How long until you notice the seeping again?
-
Don- How do you apply the material, and what does it do to the paint?

Thanks Clarence. The listed work was done recently and the description on the bill says, "engine disassembled, cylinders honed, cleaned and inspected. Camshaft reground under CCS009 process specification. 8 each Tappet P/N:72877 exchanged, reconditioned under CCS798 process specifications. Crankcase R & R only. Bendix Fuel Servo complied with SB-PRS-107. Reassembled using listed parts under WO #19991. The engine has been test run and is approved to return to service." The compressions are 78, 78, 78, 77 cold. What do you guys think? The engine starts right up and sounds smooth.

That is my concern. There was corrosion discovered earlier this year. The engine was disassembled, and "reconditioned" after removing some corrosion by Central Cylinder Service in Omaha. The paperwork looks good, and the compressions are great. But, could this still be a problem?

So, in going through the logs - the aircraft has been flown only 80 hours in the last ten years, and 3 hours in the last 3 years. It has been stored in a nice hangar throughout that time, and annualed almost every year. I am concerned because of the lack of recent flight time. What specifically should I be looking at because of the inactivity?

1979 M20J- No mention in logs of any fuel tank work, resealing etc. Looks like original sealant. Airplane has been hangared all of its life.

Good stuff. Thanks.

Hi All- I am looking at a M20J to purchase. Both wing fuel sumps have blue stain around them, and I am assuming that they can be repaired with new o-rings or seals. But there are also a few ( 5 or 6) rivets under the left wing that are outlined in blue (see photo.) When is it time to address such an issue? What is your experience in the progression of fuel leaks once it is first noticed? Thanks very much for your input.

I just saw this thread, and also travel with my canines for SAR work. I would be interested in the PDF if it is still available. Thanks, Norm
