    2,000’ to visit a neighboring airpark. Actually it was probably 5,000’ hangar to hangar. Lee

    You don’t really need to empty the tank. You know the usable fuel level, so just keep a log of stick reading before filling vs. the amount of fuel added. You do need a couple of readings with the tank low on fuel and then with readings from several fill-ups you can extrapolate the data to determine the markings. Lee

    Perhaps it is just a difference is suppliers. Here is the website image. Thanks for the responses. Lee

    What’s the difference between Sceet and venair duct? I’ve never heard of venair but saw it on https://customductsaircraftsceetandscat.com/about-ducting/. my mechanic says I need to replace all my ducts. lee

    My wife has commented that “we have less tail wagging with the new autopilot”. Quite frankly I’ve never noticed much tail wagging in turbulence, but she had. It is interesting to rest my feet on the pedals and feel the YD working. Lee

    Not necessarily related to our Mooney’s, but I just installed a PAR200B radio/intercom in my Citabria. I chose this radio because of the panel space limitations in the Citabria. The radio is remotely mounted which saved space. Of course I knew the PS engineering intercom would be good but I have been presently surprised at the quality of the radio. It sound better than the radio in my GTN650. - end of my product review- Lee

    This vacuum switch was removed from my Mooney a few months ago when I removed the vacuum system. Working fine when removed. $ 125.00 including shipping if anyone needs one. Lee

    I didn’t put the PRC on mine. A previous owner did it. All I know is mine is not leaking. Like Cliffy said others have done this too. Lee

    I did that many years ago on my previous Mooney and it was a lot of work. I remember there was something odd about how the pan interfaces with the accessory case. When I bought my current Mooney (‘92 J), I noticed that someone had smeared PRC along the seam/gasket line on the old sump. My sump doesn’t leak. Lee

    I live on a 3000’, one-way, grass strip. My limits for the Mooney at 15 kts max tailwind on landing and 10 kts max tailwind on takeoff. The Mooney eats up a lot of runway with a tailwind. For my Citabria it’s 10 kts max for tailwind for takeoff and landing. Lee

    Don’t mean to hijack this thread, but I need to order donuts for my ‘92J. Anybody got a good source? Lee

    The AV20 is less than $1,000 and is a Very easy install if it’s just a backup AI. 2 hour install. Another 2 hours if you want OAT and TAS. As already mentioned the Av30 is good too and has battery backup up. Lee

    I just removed my kap150 and had the gfc500 with g5 and yaw damper installed. It was around $20-21k. Lee

    Any truth to the rumor that whelen has developed an LED recognition light for Mooney’s? lee

    You might try Ricky Gilmer in Pell City, Al. kPLR. I do t have his number handy, but the FBO will Know. @Hank may have soms thoughts too. lee

    I did an AV30c in my Citabria and it took about 4 hours for the AI. DG/HSI took a couple hours max because I ran wires for both when doing th AI. Lee.

    Another option is an Av20. Less than 1 amu and only a couple hours to install. Lee

    I’ve use a black and decker workmate for years as a bead breaker. Lee https://www.acehardware.com/departments/tools/tools-storage-and-organization/work-benches/21321?store=07479&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhLKUBhDiARIsAMaTLnFb7vV-QhZ58N0GiVNn5fuJFhQHRq4Oib7uxYbuXe7rIvYUgtXOYhcaArpsEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

    The KG-258 Attitude indicator is sold so the package price has been reduced to $2,500. Guys, I've upgraded to a GFC 500 and removed the KAP-150 from my '92 M20J. Autopilot controller, Attitude Indicator, and servos were all working fine when removed. I have these on ebay KC-191 Controller $2,200 KG-258 Attitude Indicator $300 KS-177, 178, 179, $750 each. However, I will sell the entire package for $2,500 if anyone is interested. These are great spares if you are keeping your KAP-150. PM me if you have questions, Lee

    For me it’s, power up (all lever forward) pitch up - 8 degrees gear up flaps up cowl flaps open I trim during the process as necessary. Lee
