  1. I can fit two Bromptons at the back. Is the best folding bike you can get and it retains its value best compared to all others models on market Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. It happens with all headsets. The jacks are tight but if during the flight I move them (sometimes by it’s own weight) I can’t hear coms. Cleaned everything very well already but no luck. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I'm experiencing an issue with my headphone plugs/jacks; they often shift during flights, resulting in interference. Twisting them slightly seems to solve the problem temporarily, but it's quite bothersome. This issue occurs with both the pilot's and co-pilot's headphones. I've attempted to clean the jacks with contact cleaner, but the problem persists. Do you have any suggestions?
  4. I would think that too low for Florida but then again that is a good thing you dont have high temps. I am not sure if I should trust the engine temps readings as I still have the original analog ones.
  5. This definitely looks better in mine. Would it be possible to share how I can contact GeeBee Guy, is there a website? I will buy the same kit as you and I'll share the photos when it's ready. I think new baffle like yours will make a difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I think I’ll have to rebuffle and full the gaps is the cheapest solution. Doghouse would be difficult to find buy and install Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Could you share before and after photos, please? this would be interesting to see.
  8. I've been experiencing high cylinders temperatures ever since I got off the plane. I've done quite a bit of reading on how critical it is to keep cylinder temperatures below 400 or 420 degrees Fahrenheit, as many suggest taking steps to remain under this threshold. My Mooney M20F tends to run hot, particularly in the summer or during climb phases. I've been attempting to adjust to improve cylinder longevity but am unsure of the best approach. With plans to travel in the warmer climates of southern Europe, I'm concerned about constantly monitoring the gauges. I have taken some photos of the engine's baffling and wonder if replacing or repairing it could help. It's often recommended to ensure proper baffling for adequate engine cooling. I've noticed that some older models have an updated "doghouse" design for better efficiency. I'm contemplating whether to replace the baffling to improve cylinders temperatures or the currents are sufficient. Additionally, I'm considering upgrading the old gauges to a JPI monitor to better track the engine's temperatures. . What do you think? Thanks Yannis London UK Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Yes, I already got headrest on the rear seats. I think there is a way to retro fit this but I was looking for someone who done it already.
  10. I’m a new Mooney owner and yesterday while I was trying to start the engine I had no luck. I thought I flooded the engine I noticed that there was no fuel flow. The battery got depleted, charged it overnight. Next day went back to try to start the engine but no luck. We decided to open the engine cowling with the help of an engineer and we found that the mixture cable connector has been disconnected. A bit of a sobering experience but better to find this issue on the ground and get it sorted. Here is a photo of the cable, I think that the pin on the top head of the connector head got off or wasn’t there on the first place so the screw got loose and disconnected. I was able to connect it back and the engine started fine. I’m waiting for my mechanic to come and fix it properly and sign it off, maybe he needs to charge some part but is worrying that the cable would disconnect.
  11. Thank you. This is a little short for correct position of the shoulder harness no? I wonder if there is a way to attach it higher. I think that for safety perspective rear seats is also life saving potentially that’s why I really want to do this installation.
  12. Thank you for this. It really helps. Which shoulder harness did you buy ? And do you have any photos of how it looks?
  13. I know that this has been discussed in the past but I’m struggling to find a conclusive answer. can I fit a shoulder harness on the m20f rear seats and if yes which hooks and harness is the correct one. Thanks
