  1. It’s a Scott/Avox altitude compensating regulator - the altitude compensator can be very finicky and is expensive to replace if it’s bad. When was the last time the system was bench tested? Do you have a flow meter that you use with your cannula? That will tell you f you are getting enough flow….
  2. I bought 1533 from Jimmy a year and a half ago. Very similar spec but w an Aero Comfort new interior. Happy to share my experience with you if you want to chat. Cell is 860-866-6750. scott
  3. PM my your RMA number and I'll throw some Aerox swag in the box when they ship back to you.... Scott
  4. This is a big reason why I bought this airplane. It’s what you expect for a high end aircraft. Don’t hesitate. You won’t be disappointed….
  5. Just put a new cap and harness on order and we are starting over with new points and condenser and harness. Hopefully we will know more next week….the harness looks like original ‘85 vintage so if that’s not it we are out of ideas. After three sets of points failing after five hours each, we’re thinking an issue somewhere else in the system…
  6. More trouble today - four hours after replacing the mag with another exchange unit the left mag points were failing again. Pre takeoff mag check was perfect, and flight test yesterday was perfect. By the time I got to altitude and set up cruise flight, I couldn’t get it run LOP and then tried the In flight mag check and the left side was super rough with a big RPM drop. Got back to base and did another mag check on the ground and it was super rough on the left mag and the tach was bouncing around - same symptoms as before. Third failure of points in 12 hours since replacing the original mag with 750 hours on it that worked fine. So the saga continues.
  7. No it was under warranty....flew it today and yesterday - fired right up and ran great. Did the Savvy in flight mag checks and they looked good too. I pulled the data from the last flight and you could see where two cylidners went awry mid flight.. I'm hoping this is the last I have to think about this for a while now....
  8. Not to belabor this, but we did pull the mag and returned it to Kelly - they found that the points on one side were bad and needed to be replaced after only 3 hours TIS. Ugh. Anyway, she's back flying now and running great and only 497 hours until I go full dual electronic!
  9. Well done - there is nothing out there but trees and the CT River. That's the second emergency landing that track has hosted. What was the issue that caused the landing? Glad you are safe and that you found that track.
  10. On one mag, one and two dropped off and three and four acted normal. Engine backfired a bit too. With that I’m leaning toward two bad plugs. They are getting pulled tomorrow so I guess I just have to wait and see. It actually gives me hope that they don’t have to pull the mag again.
  11. I just had my dual mag exchanged with a Kelly dual mag after 750 hours time in service with the old dual mag on my 201 . The First flight or two after the exchange were great and the Savvy flight test profile that I ran showed everything well matched regarding the in-flight mag check. went to go flying this morning and on the run up, the left mag showed little drop and the right mag dropped over 400 rpm, though it continued to run. On the second run up the engine was backfiring during the run up. is it plausible that the timing on the right mag “walked”. The mechanic who did the install will look at it on Monday but I’m curious as to what’s going on…. thanks Scott
  12. Try Southern Cross in FXE. Was just there and they have shelves of them. I’m headed there in the morning to pick one up coincidentally after leaving my master switch on (long story) and it was time for a new one anyway….
  13. Welcome Scott. I’m in Naples and there are quite a few Mooneys down here, and several Acclaims.
  14. If you remove the screws, the lens should slide off of the wingtip exposing the strobes. The back of the incandescent light has a rectangular spring clip that you have to work out so you can slide the light out through the front. Cut the wires, splice in the new light, and reinstall and put the clip back onto the back of the new light. - make sure you run the wires THROUGH the spring clip!
  15. I have had my J for over six months now. Just flew it today and stood in the hangar door just staring at her after I put it away. It’s a great feeling and a great airplane. Congratulations and best of luck! (get an account at Aircraft Spruce…you’re going to need it!)
  16. Steve I’m happy to help you off line and can go through all of your options to get you what you need. Feel free to call my cell tomorrow - 860-866-6750 scott@aerox.com
  17. @81X that was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
  18. My too….we need little mooneyspace stickers to put in the booth somewhere small…iykyk kind of a think….
  19. Does anyone have a G5 installed as their HSI while keeping the King AI above it? I’m considering going that route to get GPSS with my KAP150 and IFD540 and would like to see what it looks like if anyone has a photo…. thanks, scott
  20. Yeah I see that now. What a crappy situation all the way around for everyone involved....
  21. THe shop probably feels that you conspired with the avionics manager to defraud the shop out of a rightful sale and their earned 20% commission, and sees you as complicit in the fraud against them. You may not have realized it at the time, but you effectively bought stolen property from the manager in a back door transaction - a situation you created by agreeing to circumvent the avionics shop in the first place. I’m actually surprised the shop haven’t held your logbooks or your plane until they got paid for the unit. You will probably have to end up paying the avionics shop for the full price of the unit in order to get clean title to it, and move on. Maybe you can initiate criminal action against the shop manager, but that will get messy because of your involvement in the transaction to begin with…
  22. Thanks everyone….I’m going the paint match route and will let you know how it works out….
  23. I am trying to get some touchup paint for my 85 M20J. The paint codes I have are Rosetone White (570-649), Crimson Maple 579-607, and Autumn Spice - 579-611. Does anyone have a source for matching touchup paint? Scott
