The problem with being at the bottom of the green is you have no margin in case you run a quart or 2 low it goes into the yellow and really Lycoming says to tear the engine down when you get below 55 or 60 psi.

If it is the appliance rust oleum from Home Depot it is not epoxy paint

Paint them. Clean off. Scrub with prekote. Bake to drive out moisture. Then epoxy DTM primer and urethane 2k single stage paint.

Wild horses racing. I remember the paint was knocked off of it but as far as getting it to a mirror shine, it had too many scratches in it has been sanded on in the various places. 2024 aluminum does not shine up like a Alclad and Alclad tthat’s often scratched through and then you sand or polish through the Alclad to get the scratches out of it anyway it’s just that modern airplanes are not built like classic airplanes with extra thick Alclad

I have the com flip switch. And I also have a toggle switch on the panel and on the right yoke to toggle through the memory frequencies. Push push push then flip

Where do you get those clips at?

To reset the 750 pull the COM1 and NAV1 circuit breakers wait about 10 seconds and then reset them

I’m not sure that Plane is going to polish to a mirror finish.

There is a thread on Beechtalk about this, and it boils down to lowering the squelch values in the main menu

What kind of starter do you have and how old is it

They won’t even certify the 2900 pound gross weight for the earlier model J airplanes. So I don’t see how this is going to affect anything older than an M20R

More expensive airplanes have tubeless tires with a O-ring between the wheel halves. That shouldn’t be too difficult to engineer these this for smaller planes but Cleveland is not known for innovation

The NTSB preliminary report is out. The control lock was engaged

You save 125$ and strand the plane later. A buddy of mine had this happen and after they pulled the plane off the runway and fixed it the bill was $2,000.

Seriously, though if you have extensive experience painting stuff and you value your time at zero you can paint airplane and save money but it’s going to look like you painted your plane to save money. And when you go to sell it that’s going to be reflected to. And that’s even before we talk about the artistic aspect of all the layout. A magazine picture of a long body morphed into a short body or a mid body airplane painted in a T hanger frankly, doesn’t look that good, if you buy the right materials it’s gonna cost about five or seven grand. Shoot, Hakf the time the paint shops can’t even get it right, and you see a series of 1 foot long tape lines morphed into a curve waterline or solvent pop, overspray, or everything else that’s wrong with paint jobs.

Dang was a blue and white 201? Because I did a pre-buy on one over there and it looks like it was painted outside and it was not in the logbook and the owner owned a boat painting business. What a coincidence. Some unfortunate guy that I’ve seen on the Facebook DC pilots group bought this plane

Send the cylinder to Poplar Grove to get reworked and you can still make it.

What is a mooney specific upgrade seminar?

When we first bought our plane we changed the nose tire. We reused the tube. It went flat on the next or the second flight. It had a small hole on the side of it, all we could think of is it had a wrinkle which finally shaved through after five or six landings. We took it out and folded it up in a box and set it on the shelf. Later we changed out the main tires and put on desser tubes and put those tubes that came out of the tires in boxes. Within a year, the original nose tube was disintegrating, it turned into powder while the tubes next to it was still supple and probably reusable. Interesting thing with the desser tubes was that one failed before we could get it off the jacks it was flat the next morning and taking it apart they were bubbles coming out from where around the mold seams were the stem was molded. The other one lasted about a year and it went flat while I was taxiing from the fuel pump in Kerrville back to the hanger on a day trip. That one cost me 500 bucks and since then it’s new tires and new airstop tubes and I haven’t had one go bad yet.

star lock washers are also tried and tested, but also single-use. just get the Airstop tubes and follow the manual, inflate to rated PSI and then check in 24hr.

More pics of that interior. Looks great

Sure the suits begin. And the insurance company is on the hook for the defense. But it’s that, the hull, and the policy limit. Often it’s only 100k per seat. The pilots estate pays the rest.

Lifting the tail I’d imagine. Send it to LASAR for new bearings and to have it shimmed tightly. And also replace those bolts that hold it to the fuselage.

Bundled into that was the 737 max which is a huge payout, but has nothing to do with GA it whatsoever.

In this case I landed it and turned off on the reverse high speed long before these guys behind me touched down. And they even put a guy between us to take off.
