Andrew I’ve just been able to see your update. I’m of course sad but also amazed what a full life you’ve lived with so many adventures and what joy and love you’ve brought to those around you. Thank you for having made the Mooney community more like a family. Your Mooney restoration project happened to extend to a community of expanded friends whether you realized it or not. Please send our best to Andrew. Wouldn’t it be ironic if you found the next life included a Mooney that was deserving of a refit and some new adventures. Blue skies.

BAS is parting a rocket

I think half of the issue here is that there was a very public discussion on the a/g frequency … sometimes better part of valor if the CA decision had been made would be to save the discussion for once on the ground.

I’ve replaced 3 of my 4 servos under warranty. 0 cost to me with each replacement.

Wasn’t there another factor in this … like probe heat and anti ice capability was somehow affected?

Here’s what mine looked like post repair and paint.

Looks great!

hey @Z W if you remove it from the tray (hex key required) the units data plate is on the rear of the 430. This will show the SN and the voltage, information that any potential buyer will want to verify anyway.

I had a really good experience with MASI Midwest Aircraft Services Inc did an Iran for me- essentially overhaul minus the fuel system and mags. Matt is there. Good guy. They use all lycoming factory parts if available.

Yeah it’s grounded properly but does live in the left wing meaning it travels with the battery cable for about 2 feet as the audio wires exit the fwd wing tunnel and head up to the panel.

A very mild pulsing that I think might be draw with the unit itself … only when audio selected with the LHS. Nothing too annoying and barely audible. I originally thought it might be the Beacon or the strobes bleeding through on the audio input, but I don’t think it’s either. Next time I am. in the plane, I’ll see if I can record it.

I’ve got my landing height system set up such that I still have the 2- and 1- foot call outs (very helpful at night), and the gear position annunciator is wired to the second side of the gear switch. I put a little placard stating LHS indicates gear switch position only. It’s pretty flawless. I do get a tiny bit of electrical noise in the system, though.

Like the MCP up high. Good choice on that.

Does the original machine have a base-plate of prefabulated aluminite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings are in a direct line with the pentametric fan?
