    Actually ,I’ve never seen even one of Chris big xl ladies in a Mooney...so it obviously is not possible to shoehorn one in.

    I love camping...but when it’s hot and humid out,I simply can’t sleep...20 degrees out in the high Sierra ,no problem ,wife and I are snugly...90 degrees ,90 % humidity and both of us can’t even remember why we came!Charles,text me and I will give you Genes number and you can sleep in his Green Bay packers memorial air conditioned room.Forget camping...

    Looking at the way all three cotters have broken...it appears that can only happen in sheer...like cutting sheet metal with metal shears.That can only occur if the castellated nut is rotating around the drilled bolt.Rod end nuts and bolts are typically only torqued once than thrown away...torque amount is critical cause the bolts are being stretched against the rod caps.Rod end failure with catastrophic engine failure can occur at any time now.Im wondering if three Rod end caps are involved.Do not start engine

    I agree...and if there is a legitimate business use...than depreciation rules will take care of the interest on the loan

    Resistance check is a quick way to detect dielectric short...ie if using a simple continuity checker...continuity center wire to case =bad cap

    Really bad soft field technique...elevator is actually pushing down as the nose wheel finally digs in
