Seth, since so many people have not answered your question: When Logbook #1 was getting full, I went to Aircraft Spruce for other stuff and looked at their logbooks. Ended up with anither small one like my first one that came in the Gleim "You Can Be A Pilot" kit. A similar, much thicker book is also available, as are fancier models for corporate / airline use. You really can't go wrong, just pick one with a layout that you like, and be sure there are a couple of unlabeled columns that you can use for things like M20, turboprop, turbine, etc.

Remember tomset the data collection rate on your engine monitor to as fast as it will go, somthat these infrequent "blips" can be recorded and reviewed. Many monitors come set for every 6 seconds, but can be set to much faster.

What, your plane doesn't have a name? And in the OP, it is "Birdy," the capital denotes a proper noun (i.e., a name).

Cabinet door handles are good options for the baggage door, but not for the people door. My door handle is painted, but needs to be redone, scratched by rings and keys I guess

Parked oitside on the ramp, they'll get some sunlight every day as the sun moves past overhead.

I keep the Mooney rings screwed into the wing whenever I'm not jacking the plane up. A pair of ropes live on the luggage rack, eye spliced with a climbing carabiner on one end (to clip into the ramp ring when needed) and the other end spliced.

Be happy! My pages are simply folded in half and stapled, all 90-odd pages . . . . If it tears up, I lose actual pages of infor ation, not jjst covers. This is why I retyped mist of the Performance Tables and put them in my checklist. The less I handle the original booklet, the longer it will last.

Someone here (Scott?) converted a 77J from quadrant to push-pull ala 78 and later Js, using a salvage hull. Seems it took months and required replacing other interior / belly parts from below the quadrant to the nose gear doors. It sounded like a huge amount of work . . . Maybe he will see this thread and respond . . . . For your issue, check the friction lock, the mixture level mounting and cable security at both ends. Personally, I really like my throttle quadrant!

Start at the wing tip and walk towards the fuse. Wrap once around the tip, going between wicks, then turn in along the leading edge. Hold it there, roll it down the wing over the flap, roll on the ground back to the front, pull it tight and walk back to the flap / aileron joint, then carefully wrap under the wing to the front side. You're looking to minimize frost, not win a wrapping contest or get 100% coverage with at least two layers to keep out blowing alkaline sand . . . .

Did the above on my Samsung phone. Can't edit it from my desktop, either. Hate using data to read every day . . . Or post, as I can still read from work. Gotta stay sane at lunch!

Back to work this morning, signed back into Mooneyspace. With my desktop windows machine, the block for typing is grayed out--nothing but a checkbox "Notify me of replies." So I tried a bkank post, thinking I could edit it. Nope! Just this: Any ideas? Running Explorer 11.0.9600 Thanks!

Yes they are. I was at Sun n Fun when the tornadoes hit, there was neither damage to the tie down rings or my ropes, and my plane did not move. The plane beside me broke two of three tie downs and hit the plane on its other side.

Take your reading glasses to your local hardware / big box / industrial supply store. Find a set of "visitors safety glasses" that fit over them comfortably, should be ~$5-$6. Drive to the airport, grab a marker and sit in your plane with both pair of glasses on. Use the marker to trace the panel outline onto the outside of the safety glasses. Then go home. Put masking tape on the inside of the safety glasses below the marked line. Gently sandblast the inside of the safety glasses on all surfaces not taped over. Don't have a sandblaster? Use the one at work like I did (twice--student 172 set with silicone oxide, later Mooney set with glass beads). Or ask a friend, or visit a local machine shop, or the guy who works on your car, fixes your tractor, the farmer down the road . . . Or use some sandpaper by hand, anything 60-400 grit should work, but put them on to make sure you are done before removing the tape. Texturing the inside is much better than the foggles in the store with texture on the outside, because when not if you drop them, the scratches won't change the texture and blind you when turning across the sun. When I'm through wearing mine, I've been known to toss them into the back seat; when I had electrical failure flying with CFII, I literally threw them over my shoulder to concentrate on the problem. They usually live in a Crown Royal bag within arm's reach, that my wife turned inside out and resewed to a shorter length so I don't have to feel around for them.

Buy both wingtip lights, swap the lenses. Unless they are colored LEDs . . .

It looks concave to me, as if something hit it (but not the floor).

Sometimes it can be the manner in which you deliver the news . . . .

One other thing to consider is the position of your prop knob. Pull it all the way back, it makes a big difference, more for those of us with the extra blade.

Once a Mooniac, always a Mooniac! Hope to see your new ride in person one day!

It certainly looks like the antenna is too long to fit inside the wingtips . . . But they have a taillight ABS-B Out unit, too.

Or don't close tight.

Check in the Downloads section of our homepage, there may be a 65 C there. Seems there's at least one 1965 model book.
