Yes, it is time. Whatever they charge it will be less than the cylinder that you will need to replace if you do not correct this. All you will get here is speculation. I suggest Maxwell, but others exist that can fix this if he is inconvenient.

Final flight of N5976Q. I didn't take any photos in flight, this is the TO video my son took. He also shot the landing, but no one wants to see that N5976Q Final Flight.mp4

You just need the 'right' LEDs. Do your incandescents work? I guess I am asking if you are sure you have ship voltage to the sockets.

This one regularly goes on sale. I like the remote pendant. After a flight I can sit at the back and control the pull-in.

Pay no attention to any of those guys behind the curtain, I've had this arrangement for a couple of years. I recommend, though, that you install LASAR's SS tail tiedown. Photo shows tail just across hngr threshold, cable runs back to winch secured (by SS cable straps) to rear D-beam of hngr. This pulls on the cage, not the skin.

My guess is you have polarity reversed. Incandescents (OEM) don't care, but LEDs (unless they have a polarity sensing circuit) do.

Well, there are still flights, but the normal volume is not there. I've heard with as few as one passenger. It isn't good. That said, the number of flights in and out of our airstrip (03NC) seems to have increased--GA is a great option right now as the title of this thread attests.

Your Mooney is 50+ years old. I feel your pain, mine is a year older.

Hard to tell, but I am betting we are close. What complicates this is the major metro areas, which are just so dense that social distancing is difficult and the amount of movement (goods, services) is huge just to maintain a minimum living standard, not to mention the burden on the healthcare system. This is why the lockdowns need to be localized and the more locked down an area is, the more restrictive travel in/out needs to be. Also, release of the lockdowns needs to be controlled carefully. Once you tell a city that the lockdown is over people will pour out of homes like crazy after being cooped up, and that will just start everything all over again.

What I have found is that you just have to post it. I did and received quite a few offers--now it is just a question of logistics.

I am looking for a Mooney experienced ferry pilot (TX➞NC). Please PM if interested.

LOL. What’s that line about ‘assume’? Thanks for the Clarencefication!

Windsock frame. I discovered that I inherited one of the two socks on the field.

Somehow I just knew someone would go 'cockpit humor' on this. It does evoke a notion of some sort of bizarre chastity device, no? That said, it took me quite a while to figure out what it was. Also, we're not talking about the towbar, that's for a Piper, the PO had one.

Found this, wondered what it was, then it dawned on me...

I took one of those and wired LEDs into it. Works great. Of course, that was about 5+ years ago--I think you might be able to just buy an LED in a GE67 base.

Thank you for confirming that I did the right thing buying a hangar home!

Not socks, shoes. Vibram Five Fingers. Incredible rudder feel in them.

In my new (to me) hangar I found a nice set of clecos and a holder. Problem is, very dirty, a little rust. They all work though. Any suggestions on cleaning and lubing them? Soak in simple green? Spray with WD-40? Give them to wifey for a spin in the washer?

Nonsense, I touch it all the time--it's exhilarating! If you want to get to green, you have to go through red. Fun story. Did a FR once with a young CFI who had never flown in a Mooney. On climb out he completely freaked out staring at the tach. I had to teach him about "no CONTINUOUS operation"

Avoid CONTINUOUS operation. ...and just the other day an old and wise MSC owner made a comment to me about how certain topics cycle around. This has been discussed ad infinitum. My comment was that it would be nice if there was a way to search answers to these questions, but the search mechanism for MS is weak and for MAPAlist almost non-existent. Then there are the thread stealers, who muddy the issue with off the wall commentary Oh, and welcome 'Junior Member' @Moonbat!

The deep dark recesses of my neural cortex says there’s a wood tail flying around Europe.

It was buuuuuuummmmmmppppyyy flying up to KGGG yesterday to hand 'The Mistress' over to Don for a bit. Clouds were nice, could have been higher. IMG_0446.MOV

That's just 37 AMU, sounds like a deal if the bird is perfect (wings/fuse/etc.) and flies like it should. These will begin approaching 'rare' status (if not already there) where to own one is unique in itself. Frankly, I think it foolish to compare an A to a B or C. Totally different, look to your mission.

Why?
