    Geez. I'm going to have to raise my prices

    Be careful if you decide to lubricate things to get it working. As I understand it, getting lubricant in the clutch is bad news.

    Sorry to bother the entire MS family with this, but I think I had two folks wanting a set of visors, but I can only find one of them. If you have contacted me for a set, and haven't heard for me, please let me know.
  4. DonMuncy
    Actually, you are almost correct. Anyone wanting visors should specify that they require aluminum hardware, fully articulating joints, and tinted acrylic shades. I will then build them according to those directions.

    Alan, Do you have a ring type 3/8 inch JPI CHT probe to go under the OEM CHT probe?
  6. DonMuncy
    Sounds OK to me. How do you want to get paid.
  7. DonMuncy
    Dan, No, I am not a CFI. And didn't start flying until the 90s.
  8. DonMuncy
    I will watch for your photos.

    Aha. I suppose the cc in the number indicates counterclockwise. At least something to start on.
  10. DonMuncy
    Thanks, did Mooney use both clockwise and counterclockwise? Looks like I am going to have to do some serious research to figure it all out.

    That is kinda neat that they put the formula on the wrench, to save having to go look it up.

    I don't presume to know what works for everyone, but my David Clarks with Headsets Inc's ANR modules work very well for me. I have listened to Boses before, and they seem quieter than mine, but for the price difference I am quite happy.
  13. DonMuncy
    Are these the "spark plug" variety, as opposed to the ones that go in the "well" underneath.
  14. DonMuncy
    I think that would work fine. Let me know cost if you still have them.

    I do wish I had a close airport where one can own his hangar. When I look back at the $ I have paid on rent in the last 21 years, I could have built one heck of a hangar.

    I need to have my hangar elf replace acouple of my CHT probes (JPI- K type). I have used the cheapo variety (around $25) in the past, and I seem to have them needing replacement fairly often. The ones from JPI run around $110 or so. I see where Aircraft Spruce carries some thermocouple type for around $100 as well. Does anyone have any experience that says there is a real difference and whether the higher price ones are any better?

    I am seriously considering getting and carrying a spare vacuum pump. The Mooney parts manual lists a half dozen, including Sigma Tek and Airborne, under various part numbers. Aircraft Spruce lists Rapco and Sigma Tek with various part numbers. They carry price tags from about $395 to $700+. How does one decide which one to use, and the various values.

    Flying home yesterday, I suddenly realized I had no side tone in my radio when transmitting. Any easy answers? I sometimes feel like a total idiot. I have been flying over 25 years and I still have trouble with adjusting my radios. Getting the proper sounds going into my ears, the ears of my right seat passenger and (hopefully) ATC, is a challange if anyone has touched any knob in the system. Maybe someone needs to design a step by step process for getting everything set up, for dolts like me.

    When I started my timer project, I did not find those. Finding timers that worked for 30 seconds or so was easy finding one that worked for 10 to 12 minutes was different.
  20. DonMuncy
    You may be able to tell, I am only semi-electronically inclined. I used the transistors I had on hand. My (ignorant) guess is that a whole bunch of different ones would work. Just out of curiosity, why would you use the ones you mentioned?
  21. DonMuncy
    Because I virtually never start a flight at night, I have not had the problem. My problem happened when I came home after dark and needed the time to unload the plane.
  22. DonMuncy
    My timer should not affect the bulb situation. It would work the same way it does now, except about 10 to 12 minutes after shutting off the master switch, the cabin light will no longer have power to it.
  23. DonMuncy
    Mike, Here is the schematic. Let me know if I can help.
  24. DonMuncy
    Cmon guys. I developed an electronic timer for this very problem. I can give you schematics or I can build you one. It technically requires an A&P to install, but any semi-competent hangar elf can do it.
  25. DonMuncy
    Naturally, only do it when the fuel level is below the sending unit hole. Someone else will have to tell you how many gallons that is.
