    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.

    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?

    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

    Danb35 brings up a great point. A certified repair station ( maybe Mooney ) could have done the repairs and NO ONE that wants to get paid for the job is going to put in the logbook " repair gear up damage" or "runway incursion damage" larry

    The above post is mine N9937c The comment about regulatory overreach is noted BUT is just a drop in the ocean as far as dealing with the Faa. Larry

    Looks like an approved weider has allready had a go at it and didnt fare that well larry

    I am CONSTANTLY amazed at the BLUNDERS that certified mechanics make. Yet if a owner /operator even mentions some very simple task to maintain his aircraft, the maintenance Gods will normally suggest that they not undertake even the simplest of tasks.

    My 231 is 2045 since reman and has never had a cylinder off. compressions are all better than 70/80 and oil is 1 qt/ 12-15 hrs, Is intercooled and fixed wastegate. 35-36 takeoff, climb 33-2600, cruise 30-2400. A fabulous airplane! I have another engine ready to put on but this one runs too well. larry
