  1. Rumor has it at $24,425
  2. Yeah, I'd like to know the price please.
  3. From the article: "Designed for enhanced performance and reduced weight, it is now available under a new Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) covering the Mooney M20 A through G and M20J models."
  4. It is, indeed, thank you.
  5. I have one missing. Laser has a few -- which one is the right one for the second from engine air inlet (on the pilot side)? tia Or bite the bullet and get the kit from aircraft spruce? ($300+ and time)
  6. M20J. Getting closer to a panel upgrade: 2xGI-275, Garmin GPS/audio.transponder. Considering an AoA, hence a couple of questions: 1. Really like the idea of Eagle/Falcon "below the glareshileld" HUD: https://alphasystemsaoa.com/store/aoa-kits/eagle-flush-mount-hud-kit.html, has anyone installed these? What's the difference between Eagle and Falcon other than the display? 2. Would a GI-275 support AoA indication? There is a Garmin AoA sensor, but I am not clear what would use it -- it seems to come with its own indicator that seems to me inferior to the Alpha Systems Thoughts/opinions? Strong opinions? TIA...
  7. Wow. I submitted my "paperwork" June 11th. As of today, Jun 15th my information is not displayed on the FAA site. @shawnd -- thanks a lot!
  8. Plier would add 2-3 lbs: manual extension should work "just in case".
  9. May be a good reason to upgrade to 406... I think there's a model that's a direct replacement: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/elt406.php
  10. Absolutely real.
  11. Read your posts, just to confirm the high-level points: 1. The prop is lighter and in addition to the increase in UL the prop moves the CG backward a little, which is beneficial 2. Performance is marginally better and the prop is quieter 3. No issues with paint tia
  12. I hope you meant KAVL...
  13. Am thinking about swapping a Slick magneto for a SureFly next annual (May). Any drawback of doing this? Seems like a cheap (relative) upgrade.
  14. Went through somewhat similar issues with KX-165. 1. The kx-155.com guy is not an FAA repair station: https://www.kx-155.com/?page_id=91 -- keep this in mind. 2. As far as my research went, the available display kits at $750 for 165/155 are not FAA approved and the radio would be "illegal" with this upgrade. I also think that PPLs aren't authorized to do radio equipment repairs on certificated/certified aircraft 3. Sent my KX-165 to Bevan/@Jake@BevanAviation and it came back in working order and an 8130. Didn't replace the display, but about 200 capacitors were replaced 4. The price tag is non-trivial, but still lower than other options (new radio + installation). Includes warranty, and bezel cleanup/facelift
  15. 1997 J The turn coordinator (looks like this one: https://www.mcico.com/1394t100-7b) developed fog and the airplane is stuck at level flight. Sometimes it gets unstuck, but mostly stuck. The bubble coordinator strangely works. 1. What are my options to fix it? 2. What is the make and model? TIA
  16. Judging by the M20R'06 (from the tail #) they are newer ones.
  17. Yeah, I'll second this. Mooney (any) aren't stuff haulers. There is a flying club at LZU: https://www.aeroventures.org/, I think I saw a post on FB about them adding a Cherokee 6 to their fleet at LZU -- I'd look into this option as well. PS: I know it's a Mooney board and people have been known to fly C model Mooneys comfortably with 6 suitcases and 5 passengers. (:
  18. https://www.knots2u.net/categories/mooney-aircraft-models/wing-tips.html
  19. I fill up both tanks after each flight. What I noticed is lowered level of fuel in the right tanks when I come back after a a couple of weeks. I quickly checked under the wings for blue streaks and didn't see any. Any words of wisdom? 1997 MSE. Started recently, didn't have the issue before about a month or so ago.
  20. Thank you -- I think my late J has same panel dimensions. Is it possible to center the 10" screen? Looking into my options and I don't like the non-centered screen.
  21. Silly question: I understand the large rectangle is for a 10" G500Txi display. Is it an issue it's not centered on the yoke?
  22. I can turn this around and, let's say "S-class is a nice car, but for the price I can get XXX civics from the 80s..." you get my point. UL is an issue with many (if not all) GA airplanes. "With crumped back seats C is really mainly a 2-person plane". But I am really disappointed with Deltahawk's "real world" fuel flow numbers...
