Miss a day on mooneyspace you miss a lot!

Ok which one of you flew over Area 51 and survived?

Please tell me where I can get a paint job for those prices!!

someone please tell me the reason the pics don't upload correctly, do I need to pre-rotate them before upload?

Here is my Hobo freight stand in action

I missed those?! has anyone had success with the universal probes?

They are higher priced than straight from JPI

sage advice but if there is an alternative I would like to hear about it

I saw in some old posts that overnightsupply.com had reasonably priced probes, alas the website is no longer there? Does anyone have a CB source for K style CHT/EGT probes? I need four of each and they are quite pricey!

I went with Eric J’s hobo freight 1000# furniture dolly and have scrounged 400#s of solid block i am using 4 3/8 aircraft cables anchored to a 4/4 oak block mounted under the dolly cost me all of 35.00 dollars

Greetings fellow enthusiasts does anyone have a good tail stand/weight design they would share?

@AH-1 Cobra Pilot This gentleman will 3d print you a new plastic cover for a modest fee

I'm fairly certain I uploaded the service manual to Mooneyspace previously Lycoming O-360 service manual.pdf

I typically place screws strategically in the velcro to assist in keeping the velcro in place on the aluminum, also a few well-placed stitches on the carpet side hold the pieces in place. I like the idea of using a rivnut instead of pk screws as the holes get larger by the year.

I have spent many hours removing glue from floor boards that had been poorly glued down. I vote velcro it may not last as long but dammnit its easily replaced

I’m curious does anyone use ant special technique or lubricant to extend the life of the emergency gear extension cable?

On my 75 F VLO and VLE are 104 kias!? It makes little sense to me

So what are the differences in gear doors between pre J and later models?

Ok, I have been thinking about theoretically ferrying electric gear aircraft with emergency gear extension cable failures. (There has been some discussion about cable failures lately) What is actually limiting my max speed with the gear extended? I feel like it has to be the gear doors, the gear is as stout as a mule in Rut! I ask you have you flown your aircraft with the gear down and the gear doors removed? I wonder how fast it would go? I wonder how noisy it would be? Has anyone suffered gear door damage during operations? is VLO the same as VLE? The main doors seem very stiff but the weak point seems to be the nose gear doors. Thoughts?

I would like a video showing the ammeter whilst this noise is occurring, then pull the gear breaker to see if the noise stops

Crowdsourcing seems to be a possibility here, maybe Mooney could find a dedicated site of Mooney enthusiasts and provide financial backing for said website?
