Yes, new faceplates and screens, upgraded LED displays, RF tech inspection with frequency tuning/adjustment (if necessary) etc. ‘Overhauled’ was just easier and shorter to type. ;-) Been meaning to get up to HEG. Before this a/c, was routinely going into VQQ every 4-5 months in a rental for the last couple years. Pros/cons for HEG for someone with local knowledge?…..other than cost of fuel of course since MillionAir took over Cecil.

Well, $#!+ ! Being the optimist, holding out for better news, but one at a time is certainly a plan B. Thx!

Reviving an old thread…..but still applicable today. Doing a little pre-planning here. Considering getting my twin KX-155’s overhauled but expecting a multi-week turn around. Will need 2 loaners (preferably) but a single doable on a temporary basis. Can anyone support a loaner/loaners? Thx!

Thanx @Jsno, @PT20J and @N201MKTurbo. CCA-53’s and EZ Turn lube (substitute to fuel lube) on order.

So…. are we (you) saying the Curtis CCA-53 is superior to the SAF SA53S and that should be the choice? It’s not that the old F391’s on the ship weren’t working or that there was a leak, it’s a matter of new owner confidence with new parts due to a serious lack of effective Mx from the prior owner and his A&P. The 391’s will go into the spare go-bag. Just had the fuel selector rehabbed by DMAXX - should be getting back today via UPS. Ultimately, if the small things I (or my A&P) touches can be replaced at nominal CB costs that I can get now, I have no issue with that as it’s good insurance for when it’s needed. Not talking an entire parts store - just a few of the most common items…..like fuel drains and whatever small tube of appropriate anti-seize I should have with them. Cheers!

Greetings fellow MS’ers - Putting this out to the crowd of experts. Replacing my fuel drains and getting mixed messages during the research about whether to put a small amount of anti-seize on the threads. SAF-AIR’s installation instructions state: “Before installing the fuel drain valve a coating of seal lube should be applied the threads. The drain valve should then be installed, and tightened until the outer o-ring is snug against the mating surface. check for leaks.” Have seen comments to not use anti-seize due to the proximity of the threads to the drain holes causing a potential blockage later. Others say the anti-seize can help stop leaks (or reduce the possibility of them). Which one is it? SAF-AIR recommends the use of SAF-T-EZE Regular Anti-Seize. Are there other (more readily available) and comparable anti-seize options? Would anything that qualifies under MIL Spec G-6032D or PRF-907E work? Cheers!

Thx Dan! Successful hook-up with Mike and team. Have a realistic plan on the table.

Hi all. Mooney newbie here with a pending purchase of an electric gear M20C. Needing a CFI w/experience in this model primarily in the St. Pete area (a/c will be based at SPG). Typical insurance requirement training, but would also like to combine into a flight review as that is coming due in 2 months. If purchase goes through after combined annual and pre-buy, will need it moved from GIF to SPG as well.
