We have done perhaps 12 of them. there's not much downside, in fact, the Surefly really isn't much more expensive than a new slick magneto, for example. They claim you can just drop it in, but it's not that simple, you have to run a wire from the battery which means pulling the left side wall panels and then getting a wire through the firewall. You also need to figure out if you're gonna keep the impulse coupling magneto, I certainly would, and then you need to figure out if you can repurpose the left side harness to fire all of the top plugs while you put the surefly on the bottom with fine wires.

If you push on the knob with 20 pounds of force against the stop, it will go to 2680, and when you let go of it, it will come back to 2500. But it appears that this doesn’t work in the air. at sometimes the stop pin on the arm contacts the screw, and when you overdrive it like that, it actually flexes that pin and allows the governor to move another quarter of a degree. It just seems really hard to believe that a quarter degree rotation is 100 RPM roughly.

Anything is possible for sure.

It’s governing it to 2500 rpm. The arm hits the stop and the cable has cushion. It just doesn’t seem to work properly after takeoff

ill go look again. The Nall report has a lot of info.

actually i think the SE piston accident rate between part 91 and 135 is something like 30 times less

Standard thickness side windows are fine and the standard vent is fine too. If you want a vent on the copilots side in the door window, you could do that but most people just open the door so I think it's a limited use. The quarter inch windshield is worth doing, but you have to bevel or sand the edge enough and create a step so that it will fit in the channel. It's another 3-4 hours of labor. But I think the quarter inch windshield is a good idea for hitting birds at 200 miles an hour. Do yourself a favor and get the solar control UV gray.

YES. its annoying

VA doesn’t have much to do with turbulence, that’s the maximum speed you can input any single control input without damaging the airframe. The top of the green arc relates to turbulence. And the Mooney is very strongly built, so keep it out of the yellow in rough turbulent air. Don’t make any full control inputs above VA.

We called our insurance company and were covered because it is an FAA listed airport so we went there. It's fine.

the vent is supposed to bend forward behind that mast

turn on the avionics master and master swtch for 20 mins every 3 months.

the rear piece is 2.5" x 36, the front is 2", not as sure the length, 24" IIRC is a couple inches short.

I used citrustrip on one set and I used a benzyl alcohol-peroxide stripper. Both worked fine. then prekote and tons of distilled water. Bake them and then apply epoxy DTM or Strontium chromate primer on them. then urethane 2k of your choice. We used white. its been like new for eleven years now.

We put a Tempest filter on a Piper Arrow and it seems equivalent to a Donaldson, its synthetic paper media. They flow more air than a Brackett.
