Brittain made and sold them as well as an electric solenoid to cancel p.c. An vintage Mooney with a Brittain system could have them. Most came OEM with yoke push button disconnect. I prefer to NOT hold the button while disengaging p.c. and wanted a push to talk button integrated in yoke so push pull was installed. The line for disconnect was pulled back through yoke and shaft. Drill a hole in panel. (I already had a hole where ram air cable was) I removed cable as I have a J cowl with no ram air on plane. Screw in push pull manual dump and attach line.

I have an actual Brittain PC disconnect valve I will sell. PM if interested and I can share photos. Ths is for panel NOT yoke button. It is a push pull.

Not worth it to me to see my hanger truss in m paint. I wouldn't pay 5 grand for it. You had a big patch of your wing done so Based on your self described OCD Iit appears you are in. Enjoy your reflections. Scott

Buffing is not rocket science. Attention to detail better than spreading fear?

Wow. I just can not comprehend spending 1500-5k on a guy to polish my plane. Thanks for motivating me to spend $50 bucks to purchase compound and waffle pads to do my plane myself. Honestly my plane looks great from 10'. Really not a high priority for me, but an excuse to fire up the heater and hang out with my plane.

Maybe the loss of 179 souls will not be in vain. Maybe, if terrain does not allow a suitable run off area and a wall or other physical barrier not designed to cushion impact recides at the end of a runway, an emergency netting could be desgned and deployed. The device could be designed to reduce sudden deceleration and catastrophic disintegration of the aircraft with resultant fire.

Not every vintage Mooney owner is on Mooneyspace hourly, daily, weekly, monthly...

Slick. "My technique is rated R"...

I asked Santa for a Christmas miracle. Like Mooney, no reply yet.

Thank you for all your effort and clear communication Matthew. Pretty rotten situation to be in for Mooney owners.

Laser combo. They are never removed.

Blanco covered this very well in a two-part video. The ONLY one I feel "sorry for" in this scenario is the pilot in the Cessna that was rear-ended for a non-emergency. Can you imagine losing your plane like this? Do better. Jump started before flight? Face palm. ONLY saving grace for "pilot" is dumb luck that he didn't kill anyone. Similar to running perfectly good airplane out of fuel and resultant off field landing. Feel sorry for the pilot? NOPE.

That was depressing. Uplifting financial news: A Carerra GTS virtually identical to mine just sold for $60Amu's more than I paid in 2019. There are other ways to enjoy internal combustion without the pain.

$10AMU's and you will take the financial burden off his hands. He will do you a favor and say "No". Everyone wins. You don't overpay and he lives in bliss as a Mooney owner until he dies and others deal with it. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

I found a really nice big ass funnel that really works well on the fuel tanks. The orifice extends into the tanks and is a couple inches in diameter. Keeps splashing "mostly" in funnel.
