My question would be, was the smoke from hour #1 or did it magically appear at hour 38? Building my race engines, there would smoke up for the first few start ups. I attributed this to the crank grease, and other oils I used to assemble the engines. If I did a good job honing the cylinders, the smoking would stop. A bad job would mean I did a poor job. I would think 38 hours is enough to seat the rings. My first thought only. I am not an airplane engine builder.

Alex's M20D (continuous thread)

The 737 and our Moonies have the same problem. Boeing is at its max in 737 design because the gear are the same as its 1960's design, and they can't put anymore weight, or put bigger engines on the wings. Same for Mooney when it comes to weight. My vote, if the M20 is to be continued, is a parachute without a loss of UL.

My wife and I are looking to vacation in January, but if the date is right, I will ask her to plan for Vegas.

Rocket Engineering specs say that the UL is 1132ibs for a standard 231 conversion. i wonder how many 252's were converted to Rockets? Would they have a better UL? good luck on the sell. Nice example you have there. welcome to the forum. df

I did not serve but I tried. I was in a competition labeled "High school to flight school". An army initiative for flying helicopters. I didn't make the final cut, got mad and went to college Dad was a tank driver. In-laws were navy, ex father in law a big wig in the Air Force. Maybe I can get USAA?

Paul, spectacular write up.

Good luck and welcome to the site., At this point, the engine is a roll of the dice. Some on this site have had minimal issues with this exact scenario, others have been less than lucky. If you get 100 or more hours, hurray. 500? Dance a jig. If you have already addressed this issue in price with the seller, then so-be-it. That decision is/has already been made and you move on to other decisions. Any in your group an A/P? That sure would help good luck. David

Which engine is it that you have? Buy the Ray Jay that is for sale on this site. You will have one of a kind. DF

Don't Eagles have the most UL in our fleet? I think I remember seeing 1125# by someone here on the site. df

Anyone Going to New Mexico for the Balloon Fest?
Mcstealth replied to Tankinbarber's topic in General Mooney Talk
It is one of those events that is; "cool, glad I did that" It is for sure something you don't see everyday, and the early morning mass lift off is impressive. The nigh time light up the sky is also impressive. Eight days, no. Two and a half days, sure. I drove in, yes it was a long line. Have a good time. -
Ask Maxwell or Dugosh who they recommend.

Wonder if it is the same member that has had one for sale here on the site? df -
I was watching a documentary on the Concord last night. Showing a panoramic view of the Smithsonian, there is a Mooney hanging from the ceiling close to the Concord. I could not make out which model it is. I'm sure someone here knows. it is on my list of things to do, go to the Air and Space museum. I think I would really enjoy it. David

I take it a buliten won't have a price associated with it. Wonder if Dugosh has a price worked up?
