  1. I had a couple of issues with this, kind of finicky. For me, it was a slipped push pull cable, and I can attach a picture of that and another diagram that has been posted previously of how the valve works.
  2. The wool was a little more expensive but I felt it was worth it. I did not do the install myself, I had the AP do it at annual and reasonable. The side panels I don’t think required a backing board. The carpet seemed to be rigid enough.
  3. I just got mine in, ordered from SCS, and super happy that I decided to do this. Wool, color Walnut.
  4. My M20F is getting its first annual since I bought it. I didn’t realize how much time I spent on it even when I wasn’t flying it. Miss the ‘ole girl
  5. Thank you for posting. I did not know about this instructor. Janice is awesome !
  6. Thank you. I had changed to the led nav lights and the panel light did not dim. my floor indicator is out but I think that is just a burned out bulb and waiting to get at it.
  7. Could you elaborate on this ? Which gear down bulb dimms ? The one on the panel or the floor indicator when switching to LED ?
  8. I have a Dukes style too as part with a bad motor. Won’t run in a certain position. I found a working motor actuator and already on the plane. No idea where to get this extra motor rebuilt and tried calling multiple places people mentioned in old posts.
  9. Sweet ! I can’t wait to have some light on the subject down there I love owning this plane : ) thank you all.
  10. Thank you all for the info and the info and the pictures. I am learning that I need my sqwuak list handy at all times to write things down, otherwise I never chase it down. I did not know that it was supposed to be illuminated.
  11. I have a 1975 M20F i struggle to see the gear indicator without getting my eyes close to it and often shining a light on it. I saw this picture of an illuminated indicator on prior posts. Is there supposed to be a bulb behind mine or is that a later thing or modification ? I do have this little post light that is supposed to shine on it but super weak lighting and getting at it looks hard to me. I thought the plane was clean until I see the close up picture also, get a normal looking centered green gear down in the box, but gear up, enroute, it looks like this now
  12. Yeah, it is sold, I had someone take care of the sale and he posted that and hasn’t taken it down. I got an F model because the avionics were all updated and had a Garmin autopilot and I was overwhelmed with upgrading it myself. Aside from the avionics upgrade….. that C model was just a super cool and fast plane and even more fun to fly. I miss the manual gear and hydraulic flaps !! Highly recommend the C if you are looking.
  13. Aircraft spruce was cheapest 177
  14. In Michigan. Lapeer Aviation based at KFNT They are a mooney service center
