Yes because everybody is just thrilled when they have to spend 2000.00 on their car when the head gasket blows , because they were too ignorant to change the anti freeze for the last 8 years , And if your talking about simple careers , at least Doctors get to BURY their mistakes...... The rest of us have to live with ours....... My former career was one of the absolute worst when it comes to happy customers....... Bad outcomes are a natural occurrence in my former career , I don't know too many people that haven't taken a car back to the dealer many times , for the same repair , Or worse , went to a shop for an oil change , and got sold a 900.00 bill of goods...... There are a lot more Doctors with 4 and 5 star yelp ratings , than car repair places....... I earned the gold star...... Because I was honest , stood behind my product , and treated my customers as my employers , not profit centers.....

The natural progression from an older Mooney is usually a Bonanza or Commanche.... I have seen this a lot...

Not all , That P210 will do over 200 Kanotts.... That's right Kanotts....

Yep..... That one !!!!

Whether we tear em down or not we pay..

The face...

I am amazed that nobody touched on the "Mooney owners" stigma...... Its an industry wide stereotype.....

I totally agree with your assessment , I fly 25 hours a month with business destinations and schedules to keep , Most of my flying is about travelling..... But the majority of people fly because they want to fly , not because they are in a hurry....... Why do you fly a glider ?????

That article quotes 10 to 20 % , and says they cant discern what may have caused the damage .... (its a Mike Busch article)

Wrong , every Mooney with electric gear has a gear transmission , and they break , and parts are scarce...... No Cherokee with the exception of Commanches have gear transmissions..... They use pumps and cylinders.....

For some people its about flying , not how fast they can get there ...... Imagine that , Flying ????????

This I actually agree with Mr. Garmin , Because it is not the insurance paying , it is the insured , I tried to explain it to another member , People ask me why would an insurance company pay for it , if it is not needed.... The answer is they don't , you do .....Their actuary team assess the averaged loss over the fleet , includes it in the premium , marked up with a profit..... They make money on prop strikes..... If it is an insurance job , do it , out of pocket is a whole different story....Also when it comes to insurance claims , familiarize yourself with the term "betterment" They will not pay the full teardown cost , on higher timed engines.....

I have sold these to Don in the past ..

I have also seen guys that just take the handles off of toilet plungers...

The later 185 Cessna had the 520 engine , They had an AD on cranks (var) It is possible that was what caused the failure.... It is also possible (but not probable) that the strike caused the failure..

Its one member , That I know personally , and I do get carried away at times... As far as selling my wares , it is few and far between on Mooneyspace...

But I digress...

You are not worth referencing the bulletin , My reputation in the automotive repair industry is the best.... That is why you paid me to fix your Jeep, I retired with a 5 star yelp rating .....https://www.yelp.com/biz/euro-tech-auto-cherry-hill Your dentistry , may well be another subject...https://www.yelp.com/biz/peter-t-kousoulis-dmd-philadelphia

Its good advise , I am in the aviation business full time , I deal with a number of big repair stations , I have never heard of any crank being condemned that dialed out , period , end of story..... Dialing of the flange is the industry standard..... So glad you are an expert , Peter Garmin.... By the way , when did you get your A&P.... I have mine , I have flown behind prop struck engines for many years..... In fact , I fly behind a prop struck IO-520 in my personal aircraft.... I dialed it , dyed it (not required) installed it , and signed it off.. ( I can do that , I have a license) .... What are your qualifications ???
