  1. Updated pricing, Sandia STX-165 transponder-$750. Garmin GDL82 ADSB-Out - $750 Would like these to go to a good Mooney home.
  2. Hi David, I have all the data I need to move the down and uplock blocks to a PMA part. I refuse to do it at this time as the OPP disagreement still stands between MIDO and myself. I turned my PMA back into them out of protest with their actions. I will make OPP downlock blocks but until this issue is resolved, can not do as a group in MIDO’s determination. FSDO is absolutely fine with the group making the needed parts. I don’t know of anyone in the group that has removed their downlock blocks over the letter. I informed MIDO that any owner that does should sue them if they have a gear collapse due to a worn downlock of which Mooney has no published wear limits. Thanks, David
  3. Sure is a way to get my blood boiling again! Funny how Eric pointed out other groups doing exactly this and it still being brought up at IA seminars as the perfect way to stay within the regulations and keep the old birds flying. David
  4. LASAR turned on the vintage Mooney community several years ago in regards to the owner produced parts. Funny how they have a short term memory and now want us to support them? No thanks.
  5. Changed directions on my project so have a Sandia STX-165 and Garmin GDL 82 package available. Asking $2000 OBO for the package. E-mail sabremech@gmail.com
  6. Is this price part of the new 30% across the board increase or a typo? $384.54 for the nose gear rigging tool? I sell a complete set of these tools for what you have this one tool priced for now on your website. Please tell the Mooney community this is an error, or don’t and help my sales!
  7. Now that you have that cool auto-pilot, come North! I’ll be retiring from the full time work in January and have 2 Mooney’s that I regularly work on and do their annuals. I have an E model in for annual right now! David
  8. Congrats Don, Now to venture out! David
  9. I have my reasons but I will not be supporting the new LASAR at all. I was a customer when it was owned by the class act of Paul and Sheri.
  10. Yes and no. There’s issues between FSDO’s and MIDO on this. To this day, FSDO’s are saying at IA renewal clinics that owners can get together to share in the cost of making the same unavailable part as a group. So, do we need to ask every FSDO and every MIDO if they agree on this or just the one covering the geographical area you are in? All communications with the FAA in regards to parts should be recorded or in e-mail format only because it’s likely you’ll need to remind them of what they said!
  11. Once you tell said reputable gear manufacturer it’s for an airplane, most are going to say no thanks! Been there done that with machine shops. Most won’t touch anything that goes on an airplane.
  12. My point is that Mooney is not going to give or sell you the drawing or approved data. So, AI isn’t going to do you much good in producing the part. You’re missing quite a bit in making a part. Who here commenting about OPP parts has actually made a part using the OPP rule? I have!
  13. Answer: you do not need the approved data to manufacture an OPP part. If you have an original part, you can reproduce that part.
