    One question for those with knowledge on aircfraft manufacturing....Ive always wondered why the constant problem of the leaking tanks has not been permanently solved...other tan bladders....Cant the tanks be welded at the joints for a permanent bond without sealants?

    Just wanted to share a picture of an old mooney used as playground equipment in our airport in Monterrey, Mexico... Cheers!

    He will be missed, he was the most enthusiastic mooney fan I have ever met. Many of us learned a lot from his articles on his web page. Thanks Richard!

    Quote: DaV8or LASAR called me and told me that the 40:1 gear sets are in again. I wanted to buy a set for annual next year, but they told me that they are reserving them for people that actively want to rebuild their actuators. I'll have to wait an see if they have any left over in May or if they change their minds and sell me a set earlier. They also said that they have been bugging MAC about the induction boots for the vintage birds. Turns out, I really need one of those too as I have been flying around on a patched one and have been told that's a no-no, but what am I'm gunna do?

    Quote: Jeff_S First, I replaced the stock landing light with a Whelen LED bulb and the effect has been great. I just leave it on all the time now for visibility. Second, there is an STC to add a second light to the cowling. I think LASAR has it, but you can look it up. Not sure if it applies to J's or just the older models, but that's the one I've seen.

    A picture is worth a thousand words......a video is worth a thousand pictures! Great idea on posting videos for different maintenance projects. A mooney channel for flight tecniques, destinations and other subjects would also be awesome.

    I saw a mythbusters show where they did an experiment to see if a car would get better mileage if they imitated the surface of a golf ball. It worked. I have heard people that get Hail damage claim it improves speed by a couple of knots. Ive also read a few post in this forum where people who wax their birds also see speed increase. If this surface shape works like this, Could this become a speed mod? check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD27VIU9O4M Lets hear some opinions!
