  1. Some paint dings on my lower cowling have built up over the years. I know nothing about touch up painting a Mooney. Can anyone share how to do a good job?
  2. Will accept any reasonable offers... want these pumps to find a good/useful home... not in the back of my hangar
  3. Like NEW. I think they’re $200 new... this one for $75
  4. SigmaTek has 60 hrs ($400) Aero Safe Backup only used to test during annuals ($900) Regulator for both ($200)
  5. Hey! 3 of us Mooniacs are planning to spend the weekend of August 24-26 in Sunriver (S21). On Friday night, we plan to go to the Madras Airshow with music, fireworks and the extensive Erickson Aircraft Collection. We have no rigid plans for the rest of the weekend, but Sunriver overflows with fun stuff to do. All invited to join us. phil
  6. How do I get my 750 to superimpose ?
  7. Yes... but we already have a complete listing of all MSCs.... but it's all good
  8. The Mooney Flyer currently has the most extensive Mooney CFI list available. we are considering adding another list for Mooney-savvy mechanics. Please send Name, Phone, Email, City/Airport to TheMooneyFlyer@gmail.com and we will compose a list. thanks, Phil
  9. I saw a report of Richard Bristow who crashed in his RV-6 yesterday at Petaluma. Richard was a longtime Mooney Owner and friend to many of us. Early reports were engine failure on departure. thoughts and prayers, phil
  10. Another quick check is to swap CHT sensors and see if that’s the issue.
  11. I love CamGuard.. It works. My original question is just to see if other IO550 owners have experienced increased OIL CONSumption.
  12. Often, forecasted turbulence is not encountered. If I want to get somewhere, as opposed to a fun lunch run, then I will check PIREPS, and make a go/no-go. Moderate turbulence is tiring and annoying. I slow down for moderate, but mostly for my passengers comfort. I found Don Kaye's article on how to mitigate the effects to be very useful. If I get anything more than moderate, I will land.
  13. I did a test on my M20S with IO-550. I was burning a quart every 9 hours using CamGuard. At last oil change, I did not use CamGuard. My consumption has gone down to almost 1/2. Anyone see this type of difference? Is it possibly a red herring?
  14. Just remember that the engine is not getting baffled any longer so I would not run it for very long or at higher power settings than necessary.
  15. Kelly Couch, who attended the Paso Robles Fly-In just sent this Drone Video to us. Enjoy:
  16. Called a Midfield Entry, and then a direct turn to Downwind
  17. Yes, except this time it's the FAA weighing in.
