@A64Pilot Yes I did make the drive. I did not let the cruddy home job, runs, drips, owner sprayed paint deter me. I negotiated a time to bring to Dugosh. One owner was okay with it, the other wasn't. These folks are warbird people and do their own work. I understand the reluctance. We agreed on the time and that I was paying and then they did the 180 on me. I guess I just got my feelings hurt. I can still make the drive again but at this point, I am not as trusting.

Yes I have money in hand but didn’t think to put a deposit in their hands. In hindsight, I should have I guess. I'm not saying I couldn't do an "inspection", I wanted an experienced AP do it. No I didn't ask if a Dugosh AP would go to the plane. Didn't think I would need to. Live and learn.

Six hour drive, one hour flight. I understand 64's logic, but I understand mine also. Dugosh has all the lists of SB's and such. The office goes thru the logs to find what has and hasn't been complied with. Dugosh is what, America's oldest MSC? They know where and how to find corrosion. We had a time set and they missed it by a week saying their annual wasn’t yet signed off. Then they got cold feet when Dugosh couldn't immediately put us in.

Seller decided that he didn't want to bring the plane to Dugosh, offered to have his mechanics open up the plane for inspection in his hangar, but no borescope. Told me to fly Dugosh A/P's to him if I wanted to. Oh well. I am sure the plane will sell to someone not interested in a full inspection. Little sad as the bird clicked a lot of boxes. Life goes on.

This what inter-granual looks like?

While I deal with the sites search function, could someone please give me the Cliff notes on the what, where, when, why and how to inspect a 56 year old Mooney for corrosion? Greatly appreciated in advance. David

Maybe @AH-1 Cobra Pilot can model one?
-
Had A&Ps replace intake gaskets and borescope

I still don't know what you meant by blobby? Don't get mad. -
That took guts!

When they're asleep.

Over 40 hrs in type lowers 9% IFR another 9% Commercial even more. Wings training also helps.
-
That's why I used the word "if". I have no idea one way or the other.
-
First I've heard of that. Thank you.
-
Hmmm. If it is on the required equipment list, I would hesitate removing it just for the lawyer reasons. Thinking out loud, that is all.
-
I looked a little cross-eyed at that statement also.
-
I assume with full tanks?
-
I would think Dugosh would have this CD? Don't assume?
-
Excuse my ignorance. Oil pump?
-
Got ya. Actually @LANCECASPER has already schooled me on that one.
-
Nothing more specific to the panel instruments? I feel there is more to it but what do I know. As Anthony says, Not an A/P, and not experienced.
-
I am guessing, the auto pilot is an S-Tech 50, that those are probably removed already? Thanks for the conversation kit tip.
-
Wow. Thank you for that. Now a specific question. Fmodel with two G5's, 430w, 530, JPI-700, what needs to be done wiring wise, GPS wise, PFD wise, retractable step, etc, etc. I'm sure there is more to it than just the hardware. Thanks for the links.

Assuming you have the correct electronics to remove the vacume pump, what exactly is the procedure and need-to-do's to complete the job?
-
Like, duh, Mike!! As if.....

So, hypothetically speaking, if you could source the exact parts per the STC, you could, in theory, ask the powers that be permission to install?
