How did this work out? We did the Orion wingtips at Annual. Looks like we’ll do the tail at next opportunity.

Yes, that is what I have reasoned on this. We seldom fill beyond the Inboards, and shortly later they spillover. Which we can live with. It is pretty clear there is no sender in the outboards. However even when the outboards are dry, and down to about 10 in the Inboards, it still is not reading correctly. Will be working with the A&P to at least check the senders. Sounds like there may be a ground problem. I'd be happy with a semi-accurate read of some kind...At least be correct once the outboards run dry....

We've learned on ours that the fuel gauges are useless. Read full or almost full all the time. Was running on fumes on the right tank and showing more than 3/4. Tricky because the outboards seem to have been added after, and still trying to determine at what point the inboards start to spillover into the outboards. Seems like right around 20 gal. Looks like we'll be doing an avionics upgrade early spring which will include new senders. Sure will be nice to have a reference beyond constantly having to do the math to keep track of fuel in the tanks...UGH

Got the cap printed. Still looking for a CAD file for the base plate.

Anyone know where I can get this part? So far, not getting any call backs. I found this mentioned in a previous MS thread too. If anyone knows someone with the CAD file I have a guy that will print it for me.

Did you ever find this part? If so can you share? I happen to need the exact same part…

Thank you for this! Well explained.

First step is the Annual. Couldn’t finish that up before we brought it home. Have a great mechanic and IA walking us through an owner assisted. Learning a lot.

Beautiful! We’re taking notes.

Our Mooney has landed!

We’re already looking at that. The plan is to fly with what we have for a bit then make decisions, but we know we’ll be updating avionics.

It checked out pretty well. They found a few things in the inspection. Owner is covering those and we’ll be in business. From what they had to say at the shop, it’s a good plane. Nothing is cheap in aviation, but overall we’re happy with how it turned out. Should have it back here over the weekend.

So excited tonget this thing home to Akron, Ohio

Yep. Had it inspected ar LASAR. But home base was in Washington.

We finally made it through inspection and finalized a deal! If everything goes smoothly, we close Monday and will bring it home late next week! Will post some pics shortly. Then will be asking lots of questions…
