Thanks, I was told by a few Mooney people that the takeoff position of the elevator should have the weight 1/2 way below the tail...is this not the case?

Not sure, never flown a Bonanza, but it's comfortable and plenty of room for everything

Hey guys, have a 65E, don't have an issue trimming the aircraft at any speed, but the trim position indicator doesn't go the full up/full down markings... I've found the adjustment, but ended up setting the trim for takeoff and then adjusting the indicator to the takeoff position...so while the indicator doesn't go full up or full down with the trim, atleast it's accurate for takeoff position...is that what others have experienced?

If it is the original cable, there is a SB that's been out for years recommending the replacement of all (3) original cables (throttle, mixture, prop)

Here's the checklist I created for my M20E, I have a laminate machine and it uses 5" x 7"" laminating pouches. Might give you a starting point or some ideas.962556 Current Aircraft Checklist (22 April 2025-5-1).docx.zip

What gets me is that you can't run a person's license plate to get owner info but you can run an individual's Registration Number and get their info.

Easy, you get sworn affidavits from competent IAs and A&Ps to support your claims, if you find willing participants that is. This would fall under Small Claims Court ($5K cap in most places) doubt lawyers would be involved, besides a legal loss would hurt the business...OP might also want to file a complaint with the BBB.

70 degree on mains and 90 degree on nose works perfectly

have you contacted Frank at Mooney, he's pretty responsive

They sell the adapter, they just don't list it.

They have a sleeve insert for them that fits the 64-C Yokes, your A&P just has to drill the new holes. Also, go ahead and do the AD for the Shafts while the yokes are off to reset your 500hr clock..regarding the price, that's why I only did one side, and the price wasn't nearly as high as it is right now.

Cheaper to buy new ones that add more capabilities, I bought this one https://www.cygnet-aero.com/control-wheel-ca60-524080-17 https://www.cygnet-aero.com/control-wheel-ca60-524080-17?pgid=jqznq4c3-eb328059-cb77-4f2d-aae9-85887251fc95 Here's the Clock for the yoke. https://www.cygnet-aero.com/digital-chronometer-ca-mb800

I was thinking just what's accessible on the backside of the firewall in the foortwells, I have all that hanging cheesecloth type material that's tied off in places to keep it up off the floor...at this point it serves no purpose and as worn as it is I'd be concerned that a spark would be enough to get a fire going.

Read through all 3 pages, didn't see it, just curios as to what the followup requirements were post notification

I received an email from John (COO) at LASAR last week, they receive the first quote back from the gear manufacturer and awaiting a secondary quote as the first manufacturer's lead time is considered excessive (didn't say how long). Will keep everyone posted. V/r Matt
