67M20F

delete: not me.

I like that HopePilot, I think it would go a long way if we all just treat each other with respect, if you wouldn't talk like that to my face then you shouldn's type it. I am and allways will be a Mooniac even though I had to break the rule and forced to sell mine.. for the time being....

Welcome, are you hangering in heber?

I bought her in a partnership and it went kinda bad, so I have to do the one thing I don't want to do.. Sell my 67F with a brand new prop, and great not good but great engine. Great paint (IMO), brand new prop, GNS430, new seats, needs glass on the sides, but the engine is in the best shape it could ever be. Wish this day never came, and wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy but it is what it is.. I can't get my self to even fly anything eles... So I guess I will return to the skys when I can get my own.. She's at 36U if you would like to see and fly my baby let me know, even though I'm in AK I can arrange a pilot to meet you and take you on a flight.

Quote: sleepingsquirrel Before I fly all the way to AK ( which is further than Arkansas,AR,AK ,my mistake ) , do you mean you can get me a tailwheel installed on my Mooney? Im not kidding because I'm sure that extraordinary pilots require extraordinary A&Ps who can do anything. If my Mooney just had a tailwheel , I could convince myself that I was flying an affordable P51 Mustang. If you could get me a tailwheel on My Mooney why can't you get them to put it on floats, I bet an amphib Mooney would be worth its' weight in gold in Alaska. It would still be faster than a Cessna with those tundra tires. Would any of these mods become illegal upon returning to the lower 48? If you mean that you could arrange a taillwheel endorsement , I would fly there if you could just have the Tweto girls fawn over me like they do the young ,bold pilots? What should I bring for the potlatch? I know to bring duct tape for the A&Ps.

There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old-bold pilots. www.youtube.com Alaska Wing Men : Explosive Cargo : MON JAN 11 8p et/pt : http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel

I live in AK and would love to get the chance to meet up with some from the board, soory to those that PM'd me but it's been a very busy year. I could make it possible for you to get your tailwheel while your hear. Let me know and I will try my best to make it happen.

Quote: Immelman Regarding Mooney stalls.. Some caution is advised here, here is why: 1. Mooneys, in my opinion, have a rather small rudder and reduced rudder authority compared to other light single engine airplanes and trainers. When doing stalls power-on, for example, I suggest not going above cruise power (65-70% or so). The reason is that you may not be able to remain coordinated with full right rudder approaching the stall at higher power settings. 2. Stall *recovery* is quick and easy. The pre-stall buffet is a nice aerodynamic warning. However, if you hold it into a full stall there can be the tendency for a wing to drop, and because of the smaller rudder it takes time to bring the wing back up vs. entering an incipient spin. In my airplane a wing will drop even if coordination is proper and the 'full' stall held. Again, promptly reducing angle of attack will break the stall -- I'm talking about intentionally taking it just a bit further. 3. Mooney's are not, of course, approved for spins. Per part 23 requirements, the factory had to demonstrate that a spin was recoverable to 1 turn or 3 seconds, which ever comes first. Beyond that, there's no guarantee.

Try pulling down a bit, that's what I have to do to make mine work. Would love to know how to fix it right with out drilling a hole in the top of the cabin...

And one more thing Mooneys love the thin air they were built to fly high....

A n/a F will do the job... I flew mine around the high uintas for about 500hrs and she did all I wanted her to do and more. How long are the strips you plan on using? If they are 5k then you will be fine at gross, even hot she won't climb fast but she will still climb, if you want more saftey then keep it light. I flew out of alot of strips that were 5-7K and in the 90's and never had any issues, the highest DA I have flown out of at near gross was 11,200 and the climb sucked almost not there but she still climbed. Saying that if I had the money to support a turbo or normalized F I would have one..

Cause this was my 3rd gen failure, I could write two more of these not as scarry but still not the best. All turned out ok tho... Alternator's are more reliable. If they weren't that's not what the new mooney would come with. I also have replaced the regulator.

I don't think that overhauling a gen is being cheap, just not the best decsion you can make, I think that an alt is better, more reliable.
