    We used to charter a new Citation about 10 years ago pretty regularly. It was a very nice jet and always included food and open bar. We were paying about 20K from Ohio to Alabama to pick me up and then to Texas. We usually had 6 people on board. Much better than Delta.

    Pay Lasar $750 for the STC and the paperwork becomes the easy part of the swap.

    I think the C just has 1 fuel sender instead of 2 like the F. Just unhook the wire to the sensor and replace it with a resistor between the values of 0 to 30 ohms. 15 ohms should read 1/2 full. If you have access to a decade box you can check several points quickly.

    How about connecting a handheld vac pump to the line going to the mechanical pump and plugging the line that connects onto the bladder. Pull a vac and see if it holds or not.

    The last paragraph of the document I posted above also prohibits any unreasonable requirements that prevents or limits competion. How much would 2M in insurance cost a mechanic? Many would consider that unreasonable. Also requiring them to have the same size facility could be considered unreasonable. Until someone pushes the issue we will never know.

    If the weep line to the mechanical pump was blocked could it keep the mechanical pump from regulating correctly? It really sounds like it is sucking air in though.

    Lasar sells the STC. If you could find a E or F with wing damage to use as a donor plane

    On the FAA website. I think it is covered in a footnote. http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/MainFrame?OpenFrameSet

    Replacing one TSOD device with a similar TSOD shouldn't require a STC or Field approval. See FAA AC 20-41a. The Mooney type certificate allows removing the rest of the vac system once no vac based instruments are left. http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/list/AC%2020-41A/$FILE/AC20-41A.pdf

    It appears to me that this AC bans this practice if the airport has ever accepted any federal money, which I sure most have unless privately owned. 150_5190_6.pdf

    What happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors. I agree with Dan about the FAA assurance grants. I'm guessing they would change their tune in a hurry if someone pressed the issue.

    Out of curosity how much does a DER charge to approve something like a 201 cowl mod on a F model?
  13. N601RX
    When working under a repair station license that is usually true. When installing avionics under a A&P or IA license you can go anywhere you want to.

    Based on what Don Mckay had written I wasn't in any hurry to stall mine, but the CFII said do some. The 1st time (from 6000ft) I was not cordinated and it dropped a wing very quickly, almost to the point of being vertical. He had me do several more after that and I made a point to use the rudder and not the aileron hold the wing up and they were all non events. I held the last couple a little longer and as long as I stayed on the rudder they were no susprises. Trying to hold the wing up with aileron will get you in trouble in a hurry.

    Are you removing the inspection panels and opening the bladders up to get all the fuel out. Flushing gas through them isn't going to get everything out.

    Here is the Lycoming allowed labor tables. Some Mooney task will be more because it may be necessary to remove other parts 1st to have enough room. ssp-875.pdf

    I don't think one exist from Mooney. Lycoming does publish one for the engine and accessories though. It's part of their service subscription. I can post a copy when I get to work. As for as the spinner, just removing and reinstalling the cone is a quick 30 minute job. Replacing the backplate requires removing the prop.

    It re It replaces the pneumatic button in the yoke and valve behind the panel with a electric switch and valve.

    As a final note on the original topic of the post I saw where the "Submarine Mooney" was parted out and is being sold on barnstormers.

    When I 1st purchased my plane the pc system would not disconnect . The turn cordinator has 2 vac source lines going to it. One spins the turn cordinator, the other supplies the pc system. Someone had switched them in the past and pushing the button just allowed the turn cordinator to spool down. It would not disconnect the PC. I also have an extra electric brittain disconnect valve if anyone wants to get rid of the pneumatic valve and switch and replace it with electric.

    It may already be in your fuel that you are filling the plane with.

    I flew it for about 10 hrs. The engine was leaking oil and using a lot of oil. About 1.5qts hr. We did a field overhaul ourselves. When we pulled the cylinders off, the rings fell out in several pieces.
  24. N601RX
    That is the exact same price I paid for a very similiar 67F 3 years ago. Mine had slightly better avionics, A factory new prop with 26 hrs and bladders. Total time and engine time were almost identical to the plane above

    Its a horibble deal if you only need something minor. The internal battery died in my 396 and they told me it would be $350 to replace. I got a new one from Digikey for a little over $2 and it did not take more than 20 minutes to take it apart and solder it in.
