  1. Was Delrin the material used by Mooney? It appears it is readily available and not too terribly expensive. It looks like anyone with a lathe and halfway reasonable skills should be able to make them. Am I missing something?
  2. Pinecone. Please double (triple/quadruple) check. I have never made or sold any. At one time or another, I may have looked under my seat and seen one, but otherwise I don't ever remember laying eyes on one.
  3. Sorry, Someone made an error. I don't do seat rollers. Maybe I ought to start
  4. Not denying your statement, but do you or anyone know how many failures and how many deaths?
  5. I Lucas' defense. their products were easy and cheap to repair.
  6. I suppose one could call each vendor and ask how they set their prices. If you are convinced they are having to pay horrendous prices for the part in question, you could leave them on your list of people you try to buy from. If you are convinced they are just sticking it to you because they can; you can buy from them only when you are grounded without the part, but to refuse use them otherwise.
  7. I agree with you, but sometimes we have no choice.
  8. I meant I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of folks did not just...
  9. Has everyone already registered for the 2025 MooneyMax. I found the Whoova site is just as bad as it was last year. I am surprised a bunch of folks just opt not to go, rather than deal with Whoova. I had to sign in two nonexistent "buyers" before it would let me register. Thank goodness MooneyMax is worth it.
  10. I am currently out of inventory, but should have some in a couple of weeks. My experience has been that shipping to Canada is a major pain. However, I will be glad to talk to my shipping store and see if we can get it done. You will need to send me a shipping address. When I get a set done, I will ship them and then notify you of the total cost, including shipping. I will try to confirm this with a PM, so I don't lose you.
  11. That is what we tell ourselves, when we really just like the way they look.
  12. First, we have to know if your current visors are attached at the upper outside of the windscreen. If yes, mine will work, if not, they won't. Where are you located? I am trying to develop a set for the earlier models, but I need someone in the Dallas area that would be willing to drop their headliner (perhaps several times) to give me access to the frame so that I can figure out how to do them.
  13. I agree. I was absolutely amazed with the stars. Being a city kind of guy now, I did not remember what it was like to see so many stars.
  14. I'm still having trouble understanding exactly which joint is involved. Perhaps a photo with an appropriate "arrow". When it is the arm rod end, I have been having some success with loosening an offending joint, putting some Loctite in the joint (I've used blue, but others might work as well), let it set up, use a little force to "break it loose", then retighten the screw. The problem is often the slight differences in the size of the aluminum rods from various suppliers. In any event, we will make it right somehow. Ultimately replacing some part if necessary.
  15. I have never done that, but it is a good idea.
  16. Dan, I'm not sure what you are saying your problem is. Are you saying a joint is not tight and you can not tighten it? Which joint is it? Is the thread stripped out? Did you install a different (larger) screw? Whatever it is, I'll bet we can fix it.
  17. I hope someone knows how to fix this. I don't have a clue.
  18. Actually, Jerry is over closer to Ft, Worth, but still in the immediate area.
  19. And here I am, thinking I was the only one who thought of that.
  20. Interesting way to solve a "product won't fit in the machine" problem.
  21. That is good. but you need to disconnect it occasionally to make sure it holds a charge. It is tough to take a trhee day trip and when you come back to the plane, find the battery is dead.
  22. And yes, LEDs are polarity sensitive. If they don't light up, reverse the wires.
  23. Then my visors will fit. I am currently out of stock, but should be able to turn out a few sets in the next few weeks, if you are interested. PM me or email: muncy-d@hotmail.com
  24. Are your visors mounted on the outside corners of the windscreen or on the center post?
  25. Wow, I don't usually throw things like that away, but I have no idea where they might be. I will try to remember to look next time I go to the hangar. It may take a while.
