Contact Don Maxwell with the photos.

Did you call them.

I sent the discount pricing info for first 50, but undestand your skepticism. I asked John if they were going to purge their website of items they haven't had for years nor could they get and didn't really get an answer, and then you listen to their plea to have us join the assurance program that is vauge to say the least...not sure who their marketing person is, but they need a better one when it comes to the assurance program.

Did you see my seperate post regarding the worm gears?

You can always demodify it and go back to original

Thanks

Does anyone know who this plane belongs to or who painted it, really like the red and looking for the paint code. TIA Matt

You may very well be correct. My goal going into this was to try to find an option for those affected/concerned and now their is one. Mr. Smoker was nice enough to contact me about this before contacting the MSCs since "we" have been the ones pushing the issue and therefore giving those of us, that would like to take advantage of this oppertunity, the ability to do so. Mr. Smoker is giving those interested a week headstart to get on the list. I have no doubt, when Mr. Smoker reaches out to the MSC, that they will make up the remaining numbers required in order for a run of those gears...the good news, there will be gears available, the bad news, they will tack-on their % profit margin on top of LASAR's full price and that's what those needing gears will HAVE to pay. So, my work is done, wether individuals take advantage now or wait till later is of no consequence to me, I'm sure you paid more for your peace of mind than the amount of Mr. Smoker's offer, only difference, you don't have to wait 17 weeks but now everyone else has an option.

You are arriving about a year late for the dance..

Looking for the right angle nutplates that are used to retain the avionics panel covers between the windshield and cowling, as I have two that are stripped out. I've looked in the parts manual and it lists the screws that are used in the nut plates but don't list the nut plates themselves..does anyone know what they are? My only alternative is to drill them all out to the same diameter and then tap them to the next larger size, would prefer to do that as a last resort. They look similar to the picture below but the nuts are rectangular as apposed to cylindrical: TIA

Yet the FAA REFUSES to mandate parts of the AIM..

All this discussion about a light that's ONLY required if you are operating for hire..individuals telling others what they SHOULD be doing and when they SHOULD be using it.... is it a good idea to keep it on unless it interferes with ground personnel/aircraft..I certainly think so..the AIM makes suggestions for its use but the AIM ISN'T REGULATORY...

we don't even know if he did a fuel sample from each tank yet, that could explain things..I'm just glad they they are ok and the aircraft is ok..

Your reply SHOULD have been....During preflight when I sumped the tanks, there was no water in the samples..So, did you sump the tanks?

UNTIL you realize that that 30% increase DOESN'T include LASAR's 500% markup..

It's really a basic aerodynamic principle.. on a go around you already have the additional lift of the flaps so what is it that's holding you back...the drag of the gear...so I really am perplexed as to the point of the original question...by reducing flaps first, you are reducing an element of lift and thereby increasing drag....

I found a guy on marketplace that had a set from 15 years ago...call Don Maxwell, he seems to be able to find them for people until LASAR gets something figured out..

Don't overcomplicate it...set your prop, twist mixture till rough, add a couple turns till roughness goes away and you are good...come out to be about the same as reaching peak EGT and adjusting to ROP since you are not an IO360

Just be advised, if you are using resin and fiberglass over the plastic that it will delaminate over time

LASAR will be the ones that deal directly with Mooney's (former) vendors for parts and in the example you gave, Mooney would be considered a vendor and LASAR would go to them for the parts they still produce.

If you know a good fiberglass guy they could use the original piece to make a reverse mold out of it and make you a fiberglass replacement.

It’s for those individuals that have checklists. Lots of checklists. Hard copies and digital checklists on their iPad and phone BUT still can’t seem to follow their fugging checklist. But it’ also for those who do follow their checklist to let them know that during those critical phases of flight, where the checklist calls out for turning on the fuel pump, that their electrical fuel pump is/isn’t working and therefore, if it isn’t then you have no backup in the event the mechanical pump fails…

Have you flown one with a YD?
