    Ok, I’ll see myself out….

    Just about every pre-J Mooney has the tailpipe bend, unless there’s a powerflow exhaust fitted.

    “Blue” paper shop towels will scratch paint pretty easily. I’d stick with terry cloth with your aviation-grade cleaner of choice.

    Hear hear! I’m getting over this Jackk AiRLiNe PiLoT guy. He probably wears his uniform to shop at Target.

    Your insults are getting tiresome. Why don’t you just let it go and get some fresh air.

    I think it’s past time for you to step away from this message thread

    I wonder what the average oil consumption rate is on a 3000 SMOH IO-360……..

    Make sure the doghouse on that C is tight, because the PF exhaust is going to raise the CHT’s a bit.

    I’d go with the part off eBay. As far as basic Mooney aircraft parts goes, that’s pretty cheap.

    A halfway competent welding shop can fabricate it. Just give them some measurements.

    Just a mental review of the times, condition and equipment of my plane in comparison to others.

    A back course switch has some traction here. Some old and simple autopilots need the course polarity (+\-) switched from the CDI to properly track. As for the connector, a picture of what it looks like from the front would b helpful.

    Those are a bit more than “light single engine”

    Nobody buys a Mooney for the useful load…….
  15. TaildraggerPilot
    This E makes me feel like mine is undervalued / under insured.
  16. TaildraggerPilot
    Who’s “outraged”?
  17. TaildraggerPilot
    Yeah, the landing gear motor / gears need attention every 50 years. Well, guess what, 50 +/- has now arrived, or will soon enough, for a lot of Mooneys and the parts aren’t there or they are at LASAR prices. I’ll keep flying around like a hobo with my well maintained and balanced J-Bar, and you all can…… sit on the ramp. Enjoy!
  18. TaildraggerPilot
    J-Bar gratitude…….

    Installing the pilot’s side clamp takes 99% of the total time required to do the complete front shoulder harness installation.

    Pics, and lots of them, or this never happened. ;-)
  21. TaildraggerPilot
    Exactly, and kudos for being more civil describing the fool than I would.
  22. TaildraggerPilot
    And what percent of your cherry picked, google searched accidents are part of the total accidents investigated and closed? Way to go searching out the outliers that help your tin foil hat anti-government platform. Don’t you have a bomb shelter to go back to?
  23. TaildraggerPilot
    You may not believe this, but the NTSB has a duty, bound by federal statute, to investigate GA crashes to their conclusion, using all their training and experience regardless of the obvious limitations (no CVR, FDR). Gryder is known to be an idiot in the real circles of flight safety Keep your partisan political bullshit to yourself.
  24. TaildraggerPilot
    Yes, that’s right. Mine are from a bladder. Sorry about that. I just saw those corroded flanges and jumped the gun. I would consider that an unairworthy aircraft in its current state.
  25. TaildraggerPilot
    How many accident scenes have you been at? Have you been on any Part 121 “Go Teams”? Have you actually talked to the NTSB regarding / during an open accident investigation? These ADSB data farmers have little to no actual factual knowledge that isn’t available to the average armchair “investigator”. Nothing coming out of a real, official investigation is a “best guess”.
