Your engine , prop , and system reserves alone are EXACTLY TWICE that of a single , Your fuel burn , and powerplant maintenance are EXACTLY TWICE that of a single..... Your landing fees and ramp fees are usually twice that of a single , 30% is a naïve estimate ....

Cheap tires , are cheap tires..... Buy Goodyears....I put a set of G/Y Flight custom 3's on my Bonanza , 5 years ago , and they are still like new , (over 300 hours of use) Probably close to 500 landings..

The problem is not the hose , or the plastic.... This is what happens when you don't change your antifreeze every 2 years.......

No offense , but people that have no concept of real world values , very rarely become buyers .....This is what I have learned in the field....

Wishful thinking , you are at least 30 K light on that ..

Got back to the Mooney today , Replaced all three tires with GY Flight special 2 , serviced the bearings , and replaced the Brake pads...

Slide in

they are shiny and "lobeular" yes I just made up that word...

So far , Pulled the interior , inspected the cage , sprayed the cage with corrosion-x , pulled the foil off of the splice plates , splice plates are clean , reinstalled interior ,removed sound insulation as it was pushing out the interior panels, repaired short in instrument breaker , Replaced KMA24 with KMA 28 , Replaced Apollo 618 and antenna , with Apollo GX55 and antenna , Replaced all the cowl fasteners with new , Disassembled mag , cleaned and adjusted points , set E-gap , cleaned and gapped plugs , Changed oil and filter and added Camguard (a case was in the plane ) , Replaced gear biscuits with 5 year old biscuits , Replaced exhaust tail pipe , Replaced glare shield with used one , Lubed the hell out of everything , Replaced ADF antenna , Reconstructed logs completely back to 2009 , Got airworthiness cert replaced , Ordered 3 new goodyear tires , Removed jugs for O/haul , Inspected cam lobes , performed SB208 , Annualed prop , replaced avionics lenses , scrubbed the living hell out of the plane , Cleaned K&N filter , replaced turn coordinator with used unit , rebuilt all 4 fuel caps , swung gear , Getting there slowly.......

Well the compression on one cylinder is low , So I pulled it and for the life of me , cant see anything wrong with it , so I said screw it , pulled all 4 inspected the cam , and the jugs go to Columbia engines tomorrow morning for an IRAN , hone it , check for cracks , clean it and replace the exhaust guides , and a Valve job....

Don't sweat it Seth , If need be we can do it in your hangar...1 day off , One day to change the gear , and two days back on.... 4K plus parts .. And you are buying the lunches.....

SOLD

Sold

SOLD (to a garmin dealer no less) ....

I have one

I use the Clear-view..... It works and less than half of plexus

Before I go full on diag , Has any one had the breaker for the instruments pop , and what was the problem... Thanks in advance..

Yes , buy until they actually stop , they will bend symmetric....Ehen I flew around , I thought I got it in time , until I shut down....

I can tell you from personal experience , that this is not the case , I bent the tips in 2 inches on the runway , and it had NO discernable impact on performance....

And you wonder why nobody likes you....How about a little empathy for the deceased , How about adding value to the thread , instead of arrogance , judgment and stupidity......

Bought a used perfect one (factory) from Dave , Saw your plane there , didn't have time to do a saw pic..

WOW thanks , you have really added value to this thread....appreciate the insults ....... Thank you...

well started into the annual today , did the SB208 and inspected the cage , replaced the ADF antenna , Replaced the Strikefinder head , replaced the lenses on the KX155 and KR87 , pulled the interior , replaced the battery , and cleaned the box....spent two hours scrubbing off the years of mold , and trying not to scrub off the paint..... will put in another days work tomorrow , then order parts , and off to the other Mooney ( old C ) to throw on a cowl closure mod , and some new tiedowns....

If they are the ones on the bottoms of the yokes , I see them , but have not had a chance to get to them yet..

Not corrosion , its just the way the pic is , The only corrosion so far has been the ADF antenna was trashed , and the Dzus fasteners are rusty , Every plane is a different story , one thing for sure is that sitting is not good for any machine , There are mitigating factors sometimes....One is price , one is where they sit , ..... So far I have only put 900 dollars into the project , ( new tailpipe , used glareshield , used battery , used pucks , 70 gals fuel , new lenses for a few of the radios ) I don't go into these things with my eyes closed , You will hear the (experts) rip it apart , I love when the experts chime in and give their opinions , I have bought and sold many aircraft and over the years only one had a cam issue , The best part about this project is that it came off a property that had 40 cats on it , there is NO rodent or bird damage at all...took me a while to put the two together , also sat in an area that got direct sunlight , Anyhow , The engine purrs like a kitten , (had to clean the points to get it started ) and the autopilot and F/D ground check , So far the only squawks are the lighting in the dash , and the Monroy traffic detector wont turn on , I'm pretty confident this will make a nice bird and I cant wait to fly it....Haven't flown a J in 20 years ..
