I wasn’t sure if the collar was thick side down or up? it appears to be installed upside down in this picture, and yes I will perform sb202 just furthering the conversation

Here is my collar, I am going to disassemble and overhaul the gear next so keep the comments about my ugly gear to a minimum please

I'm currently flying a Falcon 900LX with a tiller for steering and hydraulically boosted controls. I use the tiller up to 80 knots then transition to the rudders for steering authority. when landing typical speeds are 125 knots where I control the aircraft with rudder inputs and braking until the aircraft slow to about 60 knots then transition to the tiller. This is why I made the statement about dancing on the rudder pedals. I will learn how to tame the nosewheel steering in time, I will only land on wide runways until then. Thanks to all who shared their experiences.

The issue isnt tracking the aircraft tracks straight the issue is the steering works really well and minor inputs equate to minor steering change big inputs tend to cause big directional changes. I,m thinking after landing apply even pressure on both pedals while applying brakes until the aircraft slows. I now have .4 hours of Mooney experience so was looking for techniques from you experienced Mooney pilots.

I’m used to a tiller and found myself dancing on the pedals

Greetings members, I finally got to fly my F model and was pleased with everything except the nose wheel steering. The steering seems very sensitive and I found myself over correcting veering from side to side. This happened on landing roll out and I feel like my inexperience as a Mooney pilot is showing. What techniques need to be employed on landing? I’m thinking about keeping my feet off the rudder pedals until the aircraft slows. What say you braintrust.

Have you asked https://www.jaegeraviation.com/ if they would sell one piece?

Once again the simplest answer is check the Mooney website! thanks for showing me the way,,,,again!

Shadrach for the win!

I’m pretty sure it’s a factory option based on the responses I’ve found all I need except the access door, thanks for the responses

So I found this... is there an external door? where is the door?

ahhh the dreaded wiring diagrams....anyone have a picture?

I am perusing the STC's available for my M20F and cant find an external power plug stc. Do any of the Mooney aircraft have EPU plugs? I would like to poer the aircraft from an external source without having to open the side panel and battery box every time!

Does anyone have the wingtip option? I didn’t even consider the tail beacon

Greetings Mooniacs! who uses the Uavionics skybeacon as a solution for ads-b out? Are you happy with the unit? any issues mounting on a pre J?

So you need cleveland 164-20 discs (Mooney p/n 164-020000) are you asking where to find new? Used?

New aircraft new owner new operating techniques start from a baseline and plot your results, there is definitely a correlation between pressures and temperatures. M20Doc definitely has the sage advice when it comes down to it but…..oil is a cheap Insurace to guarantee your engine is operating at its peak performance. If you add oil is it not taking contaminants with it as its blown by? Is it not scavenging the dreaded sludge from the galleries and prop?

IMHO I would listen to the advice of the engine manufacturer, start by operating at 8 quarts and plot how long and how much blow by is occurring. The engine requires a minimum quantity to achieve its intended purpose. Oil does 2 things lubricate and provide a means of transferring heat.

From the adisory circular ”1. DRIVE BELTS APPENDIX 1 PART SUBSTITUTIONS a. Alternator or Generator Belts. (1) For aircraft where the manufacturer no longer sells the original alternator or generator belt, you may use a belt made by the same belt manufacturer ifthe original part number is known. If the original part number is not known or the belt is no longer available, you may use a belt manufactured to a known specification such as SAE J636 and the belt properly fits the application. Pay special attention to fit of the belt to the pulley and proper tension of the belt. We highly recommend the use oftechnical information from similar aircraft” since the original manufacture part is still available there is no relief from this AC Always remember that I am just a pilot/mechanic . I try to give you the facts from the source materials but maybe I got it wrong, maybe I'm out of date. Sure, I warn you when I am giving you my personal techniques, but you should always follow your primary guidance (aircraft manuals, government regulations, etc.) before listening to me.

Thanks guys all good info

You are correct this doesn’t look fun or easy! I can’t quite tell but are these actual nuts on the backside of the screws? I tried getting my arm in the inspection panel hole but no dice! Me thinks I need one of those skinny left handed long armed mechanics that are rare to find!

Silly me I had the parts list the whole time! The electrical parts are listed in the back of Man 106 service manual

I am in need of wiring diagrams for my 75M20 F I need to find the part number for the micro switch in the stall vane does anyone have?
