  1. Thank you for all the responses. Ive found new switches for $600, used ones for $200, and a kit with part number 357515 for $85 on controller. I think I'll go with the kit after @Yetti confirms the part number. Has anyone replace the switch before? My mechanic is busy until the end of the month and I was thinking of starting the install. I have the top dash removed already and the switch removed from the instrument panel but with all the wires still connected. It seems very difficult to access from the top just looking at it. Looking to find out which way someone has hacked this before. -Niserg
  2. I should mention it is a Bendix 10 357210-1 type ignition switch
  3. Hello, I'm relatively new to airplane ownership having owned my 67 Mooney m20F for a year now. I've already have my share of minor issues and was hoping to make a request on this forum to resolve the latest one. My ignition switch has failed, specifically the contact from battery to the solenoid so at a minimum I am in need of an ignition switch kit (back terminal plate) or worst case a used ignition switch in its entirety. I know a while back many kits were sold on Ebay. Does anyone have any extra they are willing to part with or know the whereabouts of one? Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks! -Niserg
  4. I'm impressed with the amount of knowledge that gets disseminated and how fast it occurs! Im learning more on this forum then my weeks researching online myself.. Thanks again for all the feedback. I decided to hold off on the M20C and informed the seller, only due to the fact that we really should get an F to accomplish our mission after hearing from you all. I'll be posting on the classified section, but if anyone knows of a reasonably priced F model I'd be happy hear about it!
  5. Thank for for all the quick replies and sharing the knowledge. I'm waiting to hear back from the seller about the missing years and lack of flying post overhaul. Will definitely follow up with a Mooney technician pre buy now with whatever aircraft we choose. But, it sounds like I should be looking for an F model if our intent is to haul 4 young adults. To answer a few of the questions asked: We are based in MS. We all have at a minimum 100+ hours each in duel jet engine retractable gear aircraft and aingle engine turbo prop retractable gear aircraft. Some in GA single piston aircraft as well. I guess the hunt continues...
  6. I am new to the group and new to GA and have a question about a 1969 Mooney M20C I am looking to purchase. First of all, let me preface by stating my mission is to haul myself and fellow young air force pilots on short cross country trips on the weekends. With that in mind, looking for something that can travel in the max 400-500 mile range, that's relatively fast, budget friendly, and has a decent useful load. I have found a mooney m20c and am working with the seller to close on it but had some questions about the aircraft logs that I figured I'd ask on here about to try and get some good answers to. It's being offered for 54k, has a Garmin gns 400 and dual VORs, 749 hours SMOH and prop OH in 2003, annual was completed In Feb 2021. I've gone through all the logs and two questions come to mind that effect the price point and decision to buy the aircraft itself: 1. There is a gap between 2009-2016 where there are no entries. Seems like the aircraft wasn't flown at all. Then starting in 2017 it picks back up and all the proper inspections and annual were completed. What are the risks associated with this gap in flying? Should the value of the aircraft decrease because of this and if so, how much more? 2. There was an off airport landing in 1973 and some of the gear system and some of the body were replaced. Flown a ton since then. Should this be a red flag that I should step away from this airplane immediately? I appreciate any input to these questions. Thank you in advance and I look forward to being in this forum for a great many years!
