    Possibly the word "patch" implies a small area to be dealt with. Greg is excellent at patching beyond a small area. He's excellent!

    My experience a few years ago with Robert and the good folks at Aero Accesssoires....................and my opinion and suggestion................. during 500 hr IRAN, ask the shop to replace the condensers too! I learned from Robert that the condensers are NOT part of the 500 hr part replacement. They give them a visual only inspection. How I learned this.................... recent 500 hr serviced Aero Accessories mags installed with approximately 30 hours of operation, right mag failed in flight. Robert discovered the condenser had failed.

    I sent 3 Mooneys through ArtCraft! The first one was 2009, still looks beautiful! The other 2 also continue to be beautiful! I highly recommend ArtCraft!

    That’s a riot!! Except they forgot to add gear up or flap retract topic

    No matter how great your flight went, seems your passengers judge the flight on how smooth your landing was!!

    Possibly I used the wrong word.............exhaust flange. On my former Lycoming O-360 and IO-360, the exhaust headers from the cylinders were attached to the muffler tubes with 3 hole flanges [header and muffler], 3 bolts [such as the one shown in the photo], 3 tension springs, spacer washers and nuts w/cotter pins. As I look at the bolt photo further, yes, I agree the bolt does look too large to be one of the bolts for the exhaust joints.

    Possibly an exhaust flange bolt.

    Speaking of cool Mooney stuff..................I remember some very wonderful Mooney dinners at the Cowboy Steakhouse during Homecoming!

    ..............and I found this stuff on Ebay several years ago. Certainly not as special as the cool things from @Mcstealth papa ! , but fun regardless.

    With all the pain and suffering and great joy along the 50 year adventure of airplane flying and maintenance....................my most cherished accomplishment was my Ovation engine RR [with certified FAA supervision of course] .

    Gee................I sure miss scraped and bleeding fingers and knuckles, bloody arm gashes, smacking my bald head on gear door edges, blood blisters, turning and twisting in special under cowl, under instrument panel configurations, just to name a few.............

    Thank you Craig for Mooneyspace and your continued efforts.

    My heart aches over this loss of such a young beautiful family. Such incredible sadness for the families left behind.

    Haven't gone to AirVenture since 2014. I have enjoyed each day by watching some of the activity on YouTube. I did get to fly FISK arrival once. Tons of great memories for sure!!

    Speaking of departures out of SBA , unless there was a lot of commercial going on with 25, I would ask for a 25 departure as I never enjoyed flying way out of the ocean with a 15 departure. Many times when I did use 15, I was a couple of miles out over the water before I was given instruction to proceed on course. Not my favorite by any means.

    One more thought for you.......................I've been in situations where I felt I was being ignored by ATC................when I felt that I would simply check in with my call sign and that would prompt the controller to respond, realizing they had indeed forgotten about me.
