The cost of conversion back in the day.... ... was simply outrageous. Today... change “was simply” to “is.” When used in context with the cost of insurance at age 70... If sneaking an experimental past the finance administrator was a challenge... How is sneaking a 75amu FW forward upgrade going to work out..? Then there is the whole availability of STCs... The owner of the 262 STC passed, left no forwarding address... Rocket engineering is great... find a few dozen friends doing the same thing, they will start building them ag

What is acceptable cht temp in summer?
carusoam replied to Will.iam's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
There is a graph from one of the cylinder manufactures.... Of strength vs metal temp.... Showing a line at 380°F and below... where the strength is good and pretty even throughout the lower temp range.... Above the line the strength starts to fade away with the temp... good strength, but increased wear can occur... Above the redline, the strength is still there... but the associated wear is very high... Spring, summer, winter or fall.... 380°F and below for cruise... In the climb stay as close to 380°F as practical... 2-300 °F ROP... (norm for Continental -

New Mooney owner thanks you all

Nice to have added to an M20C... 1) Carb temp instrument... 2) Engine monitor... with FF... 3) Refreshed things that help with cooling... seals and patched cracks around the dog house... Without the sensors, it is really hard to see how bad things are... Best regards, -a- -

It was a good decision to pull the engine
carusoam replied to N201MKTurbo's topic in General Mooney Talk
We have learned... Jimmy has pictures... You can modify the installation all you want... somebody modified his carb heat installation... But, without proper paperwork, it technically would not be legal... call it non-conforming... When it gets discovered... you will need documents that the new design achieves or exceeds the goals of the old design... Essentially, this is what STCs do... the FAA approves it... and records it... Copies are in your log books... Lots of effort goes into doing things the right way... Even when it is a perfect -
