You'll find that the warranty the title company offers is the same warranty the Carfax offers for vehicles. If the lien was recorded at the time they did the search they will warrant it but if it comes in later, they won't. And right now, FAA liens are taking several months to record, so there's probably gonna be a lot more of this.

Maybe some real stripper on the area to clean it off before working the corrosion. I'd also hit the spots of corrosion with alumiprep 33 before neutralizing then the preokote. It really gets the corrosion out of the dark pits. Keep it wet and clean. Then prekote. Then white epoxy primer

they stopped support for the vacuum brakes. They want you to buy electric ones for 8K and then spend a few grand installing them.

The prop is 10-12 grand, the engine is probably around 16 or more, plus the crank and any other damage. Cranks alone are 6-7k and you're lucky to find one for that. skin repairs.... it adds up to 60-$70,000 pretty quickly.

That's what happened to Sonex, they started building defense parts, and now all of their JSX-2 is on hold. Their rate is progress is probably going to be permanent vaporware.. .So it'll be good for the company if making money is what the company wants but it won't necessarily translate to more and better parts availability for Mooney airplanes. I've got 4000 bucks worth of fiberglass window frame pieces on hold for my plane, and they said they had to wait till the fall to make them because the air conditioner in the Layup Room is broken.

It's quite shocking how about half of the planes we get in for the first time have no AD list. The owner says "what is that". The previous statement from the last year's annual saying "All AD's complied with" is a cop-out. They're no showing of work. And you often find AD's that are not complied with a dozen years after it came out.

Install it with green Loctite too. And then let it dry before you put the screw in there. Those things have a nasty habit of coming out with the screw which enlarges the wheel oversize yet again and it's really hard to fix that. Plus those wheel halves are pretty expensive when you price one.

i have some i think

The thing about aerodynamically clean airplanes is the bucket is not equally shaped at all, it rises in a nonlinear fashion on the low side, and it rises very slow for a good while, and then increases in a nonlinear fashion at a quite high airspeed. I think what that means is Carson speed assumes, a normal drag profile where as the Mooney is cleaner and there's not much penalty for going faster, and usually there's not a whole lotta penalty for going at full throttle and 2500 RPM. Now yes you can slow it down to 55% power and stretch the range by about 15%, but the 40 or $50 an hour it cost the tach hour meter to turn over, is wash with the fuel savings, or even a loss. 65% seems like the cheapest trip cost.

The Velcro glue gets sticky in the heat and pulls loose. Plus the carpet shifts around whenever it's hot because the Velcro glue doesn't hold all that well. But you can screw these into the floor and then they make a complementary stud snap that peens into the carpet and then you can remove it and wash it or take it home . Pull the belly panels and have a helper help you locate the snaps but we put 4 under the front of the passenger seat, 2 under the pilot seat, and two at the rear for each piece. Also 1 between each rudder pedal set. https://www.sailrite.com/Snap-Fastener-Machine-Screw-3-8-8-32-Nickel-Plated-Key-H

i agree. But nothing else tells you better where thunderstorms are than a Stormscope.

not even close to being obsolete. ADSB lightning is far too stale for real tactical avoidance

WX500 is the only remote option, unfortunately they quit making it, used ones are around 5 grand, and the repairs are flat rate and theyre also around 3500-4000$.

Ive flown over 5hrs with a 54 gallon airplane. 6:20 I think it was.

We also had a capacitor fail and we had to send a mag back for another check so since then I will specify new capacitors on everything that gets sent out

I like the guys in Montana the best, but they don't work on the dual mag so I send those to Aero accessories.

Forget rebuild. But a 500hr insp with new capacitors by aero accessories van Nuys Is solid gold

Did the prebuy not identify these two issues ?

This time it's different

you can jack the nose wheel with a pipe and a bottle jack. we have a tube at GAI

Definitely wire it through a circuit breaker, and then feed the RS-232 map MX mode to the navigator. They will synchronize the flight plans it's very nice.

For the same size hole in the panel you can have a one screen solution, the GI275

Aircratf Hose Shop in Granite City IL does most of my hoses.

the right 1977-78-79 J may bring a lot of money. The basic airplane is the same until the end of the production run. newer interiors, avionics, paint, and interior can narrow the gap.

So the local ACO simply ignores it.
