  1. You need to remove the blower from the aircraft, disassemble it, lube the shaft and noise will be gone. I've been there already .
  2. GTN650 is quite deep and there is limited space on top of the radio stock. I'm not sure that's physically possible.
  3. And they definitely last for more than 10 hours after welding/repair...
  4. Mine was also stiff and couldn't really be lubed (and shouldn't be by manufacturer instructions). Ended up replacing the prop control cable by a new one from McFarlane (PMA'd). It has been smooth ever since.
  5. My post was not very clear. I understood that the OP had liability concerns regarding operating an engine beyond TBO. I just wanted to point out that he was already doing so. In europe, regulations are now the same : aircraft owners may choose to deviate from TCH recommended TBO for non-commercial ops.
  6. Just wanted to point that calendar TBO on a TCM / Lycoming engine is 12 years (regardless of flight hours). It seems that you have been running the engine beyond TBO for quite some time.
  7. Hi, Would you sell only the rear bulkhead ? Thanks.
  8. When POTUS comes to France, he usually lands at the airport where I'm working as ATC. Vectoring AF1 is .
  9. Basically the same. I try not to use them but sometimes they are convenient when arriving too high (due to terrain or airspace / ATC restrictions).
  10. I had more or less the same issue years ago. See Replacing the mechanical fuel pump did the trick. The engine runs fine because the RSA 5 fuel servo works across a wide range of pressure by design.
  11. Unfortunately I don't have any direct GA experience in Bosnia. So far, I only visited Brac in Croatia and Portoroz in Slovenia. Both places were nice to visit and very GA friendly.
  12. US tools are not difficult to find over here. I would say that half of the GA fleet is composed of US made aircraft.
  13. For those interested, the french NTSB just published an investigation report on a Mooney nose gear collapse. Improper maintenance lead to the failure.
  14. The new maintenance manuals are quite clear regarding 710070-501 lubrication. Unfortunately for me, this piece of information is still not in the latest M20J Maintenance manual (although aircraft are equipped with it). Mooney doesn't care.
