I’ll be 75 in April. Insurance premium only increased $200 over last year. I know my time is coming in the not too distant future

I flew an instrument approach into KCLM RNAV GPS -9 to adjust the auto pilot RC on the KFC 150. I noticed the last few flights the CDI was off a few needle widths . Easy adjustment with a small screwdriver s

Are you giving these away? They all say “Your price =$0”

I had a leaking tank a few years back that got so bad I saw fuel dripping out of the belly pan drain hole when I came to the hangar one day. Greg at Advanced Aircraft in Troutdale fixed it. He said there was an area at the top of the tank that looked like it never had sealant applied at the factory. Didn’t leak for more than 20 years after leaving the factory.

Paint stains are reported to be brown. Maybe Mooney was ahead of the times with the 70’s earth tones paint schemes.

My 1st Mooney was N201XG with a Northstar M1 coupled to a Century IIB. I was amazed on my first cross country from WA to CA that the auto pilot flew the entire flight plan.

I had a landing like that yesterday. It does happen occasionally

I was advised that no one currently makes a 24 volt VR

BAS is where my current 24V VR was obtained. N1084L was grounded from last December until April while trying to fix Alt Field circuit breaker tripping. It was finally diagnosed to be the voltage regulator. We sent it to Don Maxwell to overhaul. When it came back, the breaker still tripped. It was sent back a second time, and still tripped the circuit breaker when it came back. Finally I ordered a used one from BAS and when it was installed, it cured the problem. We sent the original voltage regulator to Consolidated Aircraft Supply in New York (suggested by @kortopates)and had it repaired there, they found a cold soldered joint that was bad.

So far you have subscriptions for $5K, $5K, $5K and $10K. Yetti, you are down to 20% minority interest.

Does this mean my 2900 gw J qualifies as light sport?

I tackled this job yesterday to comply with AD 2024-21-02 after watching a. A&P/IA do it last oil change and purchasing some long reach wire cutters and needle nose pliers. Only took 4 hours including oil & filter change. I may just pay to have it done in the future.

Yes. Send them to Precise Flight for overhaul
