I wouldnt put a Gibson cylinder on my lawnmower. Send what you got to Poplar Grove and let them repair it

Check if the PCU5000 is approved for the J model. Not sure it is.

The pro panels makers I’ve seen Print powder coat onto the panel with what looks like a CNC inkjet printer. And then it prints clear powder coat over that.

Scan and color match some real urethane paint and spray it out of something… Whether it’s a sharpe finex FX 300 or a airbrush or something l.. Rattle can will look worse then leaving it alone.

we just had Adil do our governor at Truespeed and I can’t recommend him enough Small shop, attention to detail, excellent communication and follow up, the price is more than fair. He turned it around in two days. I’m sending all my governors to him in the future.

1/4 and 3/8” socket sets. A few different kind of ratchets, also, a set of stubby wrenches and long beam wrenches from 1/4-1”. Safety wire pliers, safety wire, Dykes, quite a few different kinds of needle nose pliers. A box of cotter pins a box of lockwashers I harbor freight wide jaw adjustable wrench.

problem now is that factory exchange is booked a year out, and an IO360A is 40K plus.

Bob Wagstaff at K&W aviation (La Porte, TX) takes care of about a half dozen Mooney’s and I worked there for a few years. They know their stuff and do it right.

You don’t have to tolerate it, you can replace the Slicks with Bendix that don’t have any of these problems.

IPA destroys plexiglas

Pr1425. But you got to remove that silicone stuff first. Nothing sticks to that.

Ya I have a client insured with them. The first quote was 7k and I think they ended up over 5 grand.

Maybe I need to shop for a new insurance agent, because 160 hull and 100,000 sub limits is $3100 and nothing cheaper and no million smooth anywhere.

I think the FAA beaded guidance says that you note that an annual inspection was performed, and a list of discrepancies given to the owner. You don’t write wjat the discrepancies are on the logbook, and you don’t write the word “Unairworthy” anywhere. Actually I think the pilot in command of the airplane determines if it’s airworthy, the mechanic can state the Aircraft is in airworthy condition or he can say he did the annual inspection and gave a list of discrepancy to the owner.

I tend to agree with most of what Mike Busch says, only pull a cylinder if it’s really warranted. Some places when they see 59 psi they pull it, sometimes even when it’s higher. Even on continental engines, where they clearly have a service letter that says it could be as low as about 42 psi and still be passing. on my own personal engine it was 52 psi and hissing out of the exhaust. We’re scoping it showed a heat stress valve. I was tempted to lap it in place and I probably could’ve done that, but I had a feeling the valve guide was shot which is why the valve burned… that turned out to be true so a new valve guide and valve got it fixed. But I only pulled it because it was necessary

So blame the customer instead of the prebuy shop. Who conveniently found the corrosion a couple days after the plane changed hands. They couldn’t possibly find it until they did. MSC pedigree. Ok…

Mooney can make and ship you this spar cap, or they can make a whole new rear spar for you

I think the TKS panels for the wing are probably 20 grand, a used wing that has any real Pedegree is probably 20 grand and it's probably more than that to swap the wing over. Not to be a Debbie downer but swapping the wing on a j model is 40K at least. Said, I think the entire stub spar can be swapped out in the airplane with the wing in place. It's not cheap but it can be done.

Of course they are ! “Put on Mooney Airplane”

PTI degreaser will strip the oily crap off the bellly and not harm the paint. Isopropyl alcohol 90% takes off the brown iridescent streak left behind by exhaust.

We also have a great DER we work with if you need his info, send me an email at byron (at) flyrpm.com

Here’s the thing, if you notify him of an intent to sue, he’s required to notify his insurance company of this material event or otherwise he’s on the hook. Sometimes that’s enough to get them off their ass to fix this 20 or $30,000 event

It’s been several years, but the guy owned that owned bought Dugosh from Ronnie or some guy who had a bonanza and made a fortune printing billboards with a printer. When I was there they were about 15 airplanes in there, nobody had a license and only half of them were Mooney‘s. But that was a few years ago.

Send a picture, although I prefer to keep cables together with zip ties I like to run them through double Adel clamps forward of the firewall it takes time but a very neat appearance

Bit what’s under it and behind it is solid gold.
