Does anyone have any PIREPs on the use of the Aerotherm preheaters? I'm a new owner of an E in a similar situation (airport in the NYC area where hangar waitlists are decades long...). Alternatively, thinking of building a homemade Red Dragon since those seem to be out of production now.

Very interesting, thanks. I called Cygnet today and they said that the adapter for the older-style shafts is typically considered a minor mod that doesn't require a 337 (although it varies by A&P). Seems installing the Cygnet control wheel on the existing tubes would be easiest approach, versus having to search for a new 201-style yoke/control sheet/shaft. Thanks everyone for the helpful responses above!

Hi all. New MS’er here. Just acquired a ‘66E earlier this year. As part of cleaning up and upgrading some nits and nats through my first couple months of ownership, I decided to install two new GI-275s and a GFC500 (the dangers of saying “might as well” while the plane is cracked open). The plane currently has the original stock E yokes, but installing the required AP switches in the stock yokes would require some clumsy placement. Does anyone know where I can source modern 201-style yokes + shafts to replace the old yokes? I reached out to Mooney directly inquiring about the retrofit yoke package (p/n 940021-507) but they haven’t responded to me and not sure if they’re making them anymore. Is eBay my only shot here?
