Not exactly true! Most installations require some sort of backup. And while the G5 or GI-275 may be smaller, it has all of the same information as the larger unit and the backup instruments also have their own battery backup. The example I posted has two separate backups.

He was asking $115K. I wonder what he actually got for it...

I'm looking for a fuel gauge for my right fuel tank, picture attached. The PN is 169BK-910-3-1LBW. LASAR has one for sale with a PN of 169BK-910-4LBW https://lasar.com/gauges/right-fuel-gauge-28v-169bk-910-4lbw-880059-103-28v. And it's on sale!!! Any idea if these are the same?

Not very many of these older Mooneys that have brakes on the right side...

Nose Gear Door Linkage Replacement

Does anyone have a source of supply other than LASAR for the Heim bearing (F34-14N)? -

How is the safety wire secured between the gaps? Just twisted? Do you have any pictures? -
What would be the best way to clean up the mess someone made with the RTV here? Does this stuff need to be scraped off or is there a solvent that will remove it?
-
Do you have a picture or diagram of this lower baffle?
-
Would anyone have a source for the subject button?
-
Why don't you want people to see the tail number?
-
How do you preselect altitude? Still using the KAS297? What GPS are you using to drive everything?
-
I guess the next logical question is how long to run the engine past TBO. My A&P says he's 100% comfortable signing anything off up to 2500 hours and then past that up to about 3,000 hours based on oil analysis, etc. Does anyone here have experience going past TBO that they can share?
-
I don't doubt you, but this is the response I got when I asked my current broker why an E model was the same cost as an Ovation: "Aviation insurance premiums are a % of the hull value. With that, similar hull valued Mooney’s tend to have similar premiums."
-
Why are K models cheaper?
-
What are you paying? And what’s your experience and hull value?
-
It's probably overkill, but I started using one of these with my arctic air cooler. It will run the unit for about 6 hours, which is a LOT longer than the ice will last!
-
I was just curious what folks are doing these days regarding engine overhauls for IO-550s on Ovations. Air Power shows a price of $69K for a new engine and about $62K for an overhauled unit. Both on back order, of course. Has anyone used them recently, and if so, what was the experience like? Also curious what the overhaul shops are charging and how long that's taking these days. Last, how have costs been to actually get a new engine installed labor wise and for a firewall forward kit (hoses, mounts, etc)?

I've been shopping for an E model, so I got some insurance quotes. I'd heard to stay away from Avemco, but on another forum others were swearing by them, so I thought I'd give them a shot. $3850/yr for a hull value of $125K. I have an ATP and over 3,000 hours Mooney time. I laughed at the guy. And then he tried to tell me how much better Avemco was than the others....

I love the paint scheme!
-
Do you have pictures of your plane that you can share?
-
That is a VERY nice 201. The E that I'm looking at is better equipped avionics wise with similar engine time, but does not have new paint. And the E is $65K cheaper.
-
Do the subject avionics play well together? What functions on the 275 are not available with this setup? Specifically, does the flight director work? What about altitude pre-select? Glide slope/glide path coupling?
-
Have you done a Gami lean test? If so, what was the FF difference between the 1st and the last to peak?

Mooney MK 20- 231 Rocket Available - $174,500

Interesting plane, especially the times. BTW, I don't think that's a KFC 200 autopilot! -
Very true. One of the ones I mentioned earlier sold for $125K about 4 or 5 years ago . I think the paint and yokes are about the only thing nicer on this one compared to what I'm looking at...
