Thanks

Thanks, so a retread that's a 5.00 x 5 4-ply retreat will probably be a larger diameter than a 5.00 x 5 4-ply non-retread?

are 5.00 - 5 6-ply tires larger in diameter than 5.00 x 5 4-ply..looking at retreads to keep on hand as spares, like the durability of 6-ply vs 4-ply but worried if larger diameter that there might be an issue in regarding to the front wheel well? TIA Matt

Thank you for your time...I appreciate it...waiting to hear back from my avionics guy. V/r matt

Thanks, 2 questions, regardless of the mode, shouldn't the compass on each of the ADI and HSI be the same and, how do I change it to the heading mode, which would be my preference.. TIA Matt

So, out flying and noticed that there is a 46 degree difference between the ADI Compass heading and the HSI Compass heading...The ADI aligns with the RWY heading and Standby Magnetic Compass..so not sure why the disparity between the ADI Compass and HSI Compass. I'm aware of the difference between heading and track, I just used the track bug to show the compass setting to get the difference between the 2.. also, when changing the HSI to ADI the error is still there.. Any ideas? TIA

thanks Hank, I appreciate the clarification

It's still in there under 45.29 Size of Marks (b) 1-i which is what is confusing me

So is this just a poorly written statement: An aircraft displaying marks at least 2 inches high before November 1, 1981 and an aircraft manufactured after November 2, 1981, but before January 1, 1983, may display those marks until the aircraft is repainted or the marks are repainted, restored, or changed It leads me to believe, since a comma was used as opposed to a period, that when you repaint, restore or change, it has to go to 12"

How were you able to maintain the smaller registration numbers, as I read the requirements, the smaller registration numbers are no longer allowed once the acft receives a new paint job with few exceptions...only asking because I'd like to keep the smaller registration numbers myself when my 66 gets repainted.. TIA

Understood, had heard of individuals fabricating the tools necessary to remove the front pucks so that they could separate the truss

Tried, shows links but they are dead, can you send me pics of the tools you made

Aircraft going into annual and I need to send the Front Gear Truss to Maxwell for them to repair/replace the (2) bent tubes. What's the process for removing it, don't want to send the entire assembly in when only a part of it needs to go in for repair. Gathering information for A&P that's not too familiar with this aspects of a Mooney. TIA Matt

LOL, No, can't justify the expense and the fact that no one flys from that side..
