I did call Mooney last week and after asking how things were going was told " some good things are coming" larry

His blogs on MySpace note he works at Mooney

There was a Mooney down in N.M. last evening. Based Texas. N3484X I can't even fathom the Myspace page entry made by the sister. Not good.

Every supposed to be OK. Landing accident with crosswind was reported. Would they be on here? Larry

I have a good buddy I have known 40 years and have done business with for 35 years. He owns a FAA CRS avionics shop and every time I mention updating to glass or that another buddy has the hots for a way newer plane and this will involve a glass panel, He reminds me of some of the reasons why NOT to do this. Great plane but no steam guages! I wish some of the early 2000 ish Mooney owners would talk about their WAAS updates. It should make a believer out of you as far as the old technology. larry

I am finishing up a set of molds for the interior panels like an Ovation has. I wanted mine from carbon fiber for a light weight. The panels could be wrapped in leather or cloth to finish. The parts I am molding will fit the 231 length interior. My first parts have passed burn tests and are very light weight. Any interest?

Have got new ones or the ones off the U-Boat. larry 432 978 0434

The elevator bungee assembly rarely gets jam. But when it binds or get jam is due to lack of lubrication or rust. I should be lubricated at every annual specially if the plane is not hangared. Typical initial symptom is occassional binding. This looks to me more of lack of proper maintenance than a part defect. There is no need to report it. José

Bennet There is a guy who bought a 1978 cherokee 235 the other day and i have to say I have never seen a nicer cleaner aircraft. Paint, interior is beyond description. The panel has been redone BUT the avionics are light. I think he said he paid 160,000. HE GOT A BARGAIN! larry

I had a wise old pilot convey some thoughts to me 40 years ago. One of them: "That fuselage is just there to keep the wind out of your eyes, Its not made to run into anything!" larry

There is a phrase for this. " you can't fix stupid" If his wife had been with him on one of the other occasions I CAN'T IMAGINE HER GETTING IN THE PLANE AGAIN! larry
