Quote: ree Anyone have success in obtaining 337 for panel installation Garmin 496 using airgizmo. dseree@bellsouth.net Mooney N4114H SUA.

I think retractible floats would be the answer

I am performing the same to my M20J, I bought a few hides of leather and thought I would just try to glue it in... what a mistake that was!! I am still high from the touloline vapors. Finally I had a local guy here in France do the headliner, side walls and seats. the prices were about 4000 USD, one of the most difficult areas were the LH/RH cockpit side panels, my guy had to stitch in a pouch if that makes sense and it is looking fantastic, even the headliner is being redone. The headliner was all cracked up and I had to repair the air duct chanel now the headliner is covered in a foam then stiched to fit and glued. Hope to show photos soon Nice weather coming and the avionics mod is not yet finished Geez!!

Quote: boppin The Cirrus is an interesting story. The left side of the airplane has significant heat damage (plastic melts, don't you know) and the original verdict was that it was totaled. Cirrus is now pushing back on Infinity to determine if the airplane is reparable. As the COO told me, this is a conflict of interest. It will take a lot to repair (and a long time) and Infinity will be dealing with issues related to the fire for years to come. So they and the owner want it totaled, but they can't get Cirrus to commit to it. One suspects that Cirrus has no idea how heat impacts the overall aircraft structure and does not want to commit one way or another so they are passing the buck to Infinity rather than making a firm decision. That is the only other aircraft affected (which is stunning). The avionics shop was on the other side of the hangar but up high and they have sent all their items back to the manufacturers for inspection. This is delaying a lot of work, (like the Socata getting a brand new Garmin panel including a G500), but no other damage was noted.

" YOU SMELL THAT? THAT IS THE SMELL OF NAPALM< I LOVE THE SMELL OF NAPALM IN THE MORNING< SMELLS LIKE FREEDOM" Guess Francis Ford Copala did not know about MEK

Just wondering, I have a M20J with the original(sawed off) wingtips, I would like to find a second hand set of "flared sexy" wingtips that will accept the Ailerons as they are with the balance weights on the tip. does anyone want to part with the pair sitting in their hangar in some dark corner? Thanks

Quote: ErickR I am not proud to admit this.. We just did a reseal on the left fuel tank last month, draining the fuel into a plastic container without grounding it or the plane. I didn't even think of it being a hazard. Guess I got lucky as there was no fire... I won't be doing that again!

Hi Bob This happened to my friends Baron, not to the same extent!! can you imagine a baron parked under a GV and other business aircraft.. ON FIRE!!.. The problem is draining fuel into PLASTIC cans without a means to ground the cans. I have as a mechanic done this a million times and was a million times very lucky. Please to all if you are to drain fuel please use Metal cans..GROUND THEM AND THE PLANE.. have a fire extinguisher ready and from my military experience ( as over kill as it may seem) do this in a secure area even outside if you have to . Luckily no one was hurt the insurance will probably take care of the damage but there is a shop owner without work for a long time.. a mechanic working at Wal Mart.. and a pilot with a loss of memories and the burden of looking for another plane.. all lucky that no one was killed.. To all .. PLEASE if you see fuel draining in plastic cans ungrounded aircraft, and draining in a full hangar feel free to correct these guys. if they shrug you off or are too "stressed" to comply then find another more serious shop!! It is good to learn from other peoples mistakes.. it is your mistake then if it happens to you !! Safety first they say Lloyd "the DAR"

Quote: Parker_Woodruff I know how you feel about making stuff fit, to some degree.

Hi All Well just for information I found out the 530 and 430 will not fit in the same stack on my Mooney, the "Y" bar behind the panel will not allow the 30 CM needed for the rack and the connections. for that matter there is not even 20 CM between the panel and the "Y" GRRRR I was expecting this and have had ideas of cutting away the bar in my dreams EVIL EVIL thoughts. guess it would not be too bad as long as I do not accelerate too fast whilst twisting the fuselage from the torque of the engine in a left turn below 2000 ft density altitude Kids if you are reading.. don't try this at home...... Guess I will have to find another solution
