    RG-400 is ... RG-400 honestly where you need quality is the connectors . You will likely need a 90 degrees TNC connector for the GPS Make sure you take your time and do quality crimping

    to your 1st question: steel braided

    a few years ago , worked on shimming the engine. Could not torque the nut because the wrench would not fit between the pushrod and the nut ... so I decided to go the the hardware store and buy the cheapest wrench and grind it (I did not want to ruin the snap on tool). Guess what ... I did not have to . The cheap made outside the US wrench was thin enough but it did the job !

    both G5 coming up as ADI is correct IF you power the HSI G5 first When you have 2 G5s, the first to get power will go into ADI mode
  5. OR75
    I am not sure what the issue or anomaly you are seeing but the G5 ADI is supposed to be connected to the main bus and start as an ADI the 2nd G5 (HSI) is supposed to be connected to the avionics bus and start as an HSI (unless it senses from the CAN bus that there is no ADI connected in which case it starts as an ADI)

    price ? diameter ? compatible with the IO-390 STC ?
  7. OR75
    thats why I specified not looking for ADs on equipments installed with an STC Looking for all the ADs that apply to an M20J (and some will not be applicable because the S/N)
  8. OR75
    anyone has a spreadsheet with all the ADs for an M20J ? (not looking for ADs on equipment installed with an STC)
  9. OR75
    I had to go back to the initial post ... so the compressions were good but they decided to change the rockers ?
  10. OR75
    I am guessing you are selling your iPad ?
  11. OR75
    since you did not do a pre-buy , many wear and tear items are on you (like corrosion , tired tires , worn brake disks and pads, .... ) but maybe the seller should make it right on the alternator and give you your money back on the alternator ?
  12. OR75
    what matters is not a paper sticker but the actual part number A step you should take is search (google) for the Mooney TCDS ... it should return 2A3 as a pdf document Print the pages that correspond to your model and see in the electrical equipment section if that alternator or generator part number is approved to be installed in your plane. If it is not listed, the log book of the plane should include a basis on which another alternator was installed instead . maybe an STC , PMA , etc... ? that applies to any part installed on your plane
  13. OR75
    I am not sure some items deemed airworthiness items are really airworthiness items ( vacuum filter ??? seriously ? ) trim position ? was the whole rigging of the plane checked ? flat spot on tire ? 7 hours to change the tires ?
  14. OR75
    just curious how did the annual get to 30k (cost of a new or overhauled alternator and fuel filter will be less than 1k) Not sure what wheel beyond repair means Not uncommon for a first annual to be expensive

    IF you need to change your VR to a Zeftronics, it may be an R15300 or an R1530B. Difference between the two is the 4 pin plug. If you are replacing an OECO (larger metal plug), it will be a B. Check which one you currently have and use the crosscheck table in the zeftronics site before ordering

    If you look at the curriculum, I m not sure that would shorten the time that much . A bigger issue in my opinion is the availability of A&P schools. How many will make the effort to drive 2 hours+ for 2 years or so to get an A&P ? (online is not an option, maybe some of the curriculum could be) Another (already mentioned) is that A&Ps had rather go to airlines for better pay and benefits and less liability or to other companies where their trade/skill is very valued (transit companies, auto , elevators ...)
  17. OR75
    curious where you read that
  18. OR75
    there should be already be clamps to route current wire (strobe light for example) Can't you use those to add a wire ?
  19. OR75
    sorry to hear about this. Changing the engine mounts is actually not an easy task (not to be done by an apprentice) but doable without damaging the footwell. They likely try to force the donut and used the footwell as support for a lever. my learning from your writing is that it may is not always a good idea to have too many cooks in the kitchen (an oil filter needs to be fully installed and safety wired, not just placed then leave it for someone else to torque and for another one to safety wire - unless you have a huge "flag" there for the work to be finished)

    in the Garmin manuals , there is usually a table for each connector that describes each pin and if it inputs or outputs signal
  21. OR75
    agree on all 3 points. with windmilling and fuel flowing, an engine is easy to start. The selector needs to cooperate at all time.
  22. OR75
    I am not saying it has something to do with the engine failure. Likely it does not.
  23. OR75
    just curious why you wanted to run one tank dry for a 650nm route.
  24. OR75
    not sure the battery connection has a standard connector you can find at Home Depot to charge it
  25. OR75
    remove the G5 , take it home and make a D-sub connector to turn it on and charge it once in a while of course , you may need a pitot static leak check after that
