Hey Guys, Does anyone have a set of the 3" pedal extension hardware that isn't installed on the aircraft....would like to get ahold of a set to have drawings done? V/r Matt

Don't rule out retreads, these guys put out the best, EXCELLENT customer service. https://www.wilkersonaircrafttires.com/ V/r matt

Hey guys, does anyone know what the resistance range is to test the fuel senders? I removed my old ones when I put in the JPI and Cies senders and wanting to test the old ones to sell, they worked when removed but want to verify they are within the appropriate range. V/r Matt

Just printed them off and found the vents on ebay....will send picture when installed.

IF it is a crack, reach out to Don Maxwell as he repaired (cutout/rewelded and heat treated) my nose gear....does excellent work and price was reasonable..,

Form, fit and function..Cygnent will send examples if you ask, really comes down to the IA.

Well, you gotta enjoy it while you have it and that goes without saying in aviation..never gonna get rich.. nobody thinks like that when they get married, you automatically have 50% or more waiting to walk out the door..

Gotta think resale...a GTN-750, GFC-500...it's a crime not going with the 275s and pitch trim, I can understand if you didn't want the YD..really need to see the differences between what you get with the 275s that you don't get with the G5s..but, to each their own...it will still be a nice platform

disregard ALL, I was thinking the outside air scoop and not what you wrote, RAM AIR DOOR...my mistake

LOL, you just proved my point, if you knew that piece of equipment you would know that you can't twist to 5000 and unless you are blind you would see the rate of descent or altitude you selected in the appropriate "window/location..and then there's the fact you pointed out of people using their iPad as a primary source.

Lol, you are right, that was going to be tge next question I was going to post...now I don't have too

What kills people is not knowing their equipment or tge EPs for the equipment tgey have..technology isn't tge problem, lazy-azz pilots that won't read tge manual and rely on fb are tge problem...my AP came with a CB to pull if there's a serious enough issue.

Yes, it is worth it, if you are on the fence, have them pre-run the wire and attach the bracket NOW so you can add it later...I even got the YAW damper servo. Once I rotate, engage YD and AP I don't have to mess with the constant changes to the pitch trim..buy once, cry once but yes, the pitch trim is worth the extra, IMO.

How do you replace this U-channel, there is no clearance between the vertical and horizontal surfaces

So, last weekend I replaces the wire running from the overhead to the outside airs scoop, whomever did it previously only had it to where the air scoop raised about 1/2 an inch and didn't allow for much airflow. Well, it opens up about 1.5 inches now and allows a bit better airflow but with the current interior vents it doesn't disperse the airflow very well...Just wanting to know what options might be out there to improve, not only the amount of air, but the displacement as well...I saw this picture in an older fourm but it didn't address the airflow, was just in with other pics that the OP did to his aircraft....any ideas? V/r Matt

Why not just go Basic Med then you don't have to worry about it?

No, on each end I had to coil the stainless steel cable so that on the vent end a small bolt with a cotter pin could go through it and on the knob side there is a small metal post that goes through the other end of the cable and is secured with the lock washer..will try to find pictures.

Sounds like your MSC is on OTA (On their azz) as they missed an AD or two. Might be time to find a reputable shop.

I just redid mine last weekend, my setup looks a little different than yours, I have a 65E, but at the scoop end was a pin that went through the cable end and on the knob end the wire wrapped around the post and was secured with a pressure fit washer...I ran new wire as well as mine would only open 1/2"

absolutely, the people there are GREAT, I just don't understand advertising products that they haven't carried in years and can't tell you if they will ever get them again, example: Wingtip fairings..

That's what we have been wanting and trying to do but unable to, also trying to buy what they advertise but don't have and unwilling to tell you if/when they will fet more.

Don't hold your breath, they haven't been able to manage the parts that they have listed on their website, I've gone to order parts that they show available on-line just to have them call to say they are no longer available OR tgey don't know if/when they will get more...yet they refuse to remove the pictures from their website...sounds good in theory but we will see...they are going through the process of trying to get the gearsets PMA'd so if that happens within 2 years it will be surprising, then they have to find a manufacturer of those gears plus the lead time...Mooney didn't care about the 60+ individuals ready to buy the parts or the 8 planes. That I know of that were AOG as a result of it...so we will see...might be one of those...too little too frigging late...hope I am dead wrong...

Don Maxwell repaired and heat treated mine, looks brand new and didn't cost an arm and a leg.

LOL, not if you look at how many items they have out of stock and don't know if they will ever get them again, i.e. wingtips

So, if you read the current reg on permanently disqualifying conditions, being prescribed ANY medications or diagnosis for ADHD is permanently disqualifying, there is NO timeline..if they have ever been diagnosed or prescribed meds for ADHD that's it..doesn't matter how old they were or how long ago it was......doesn't make it right, but right now, that's the way it is.
