    Since 1995.

    I think it has more to do with vacuum inside the cases, and reverse flow when the pump fails. I have heard of gyros going bad within a hundred hours after the pump goes. Call AQI or TGH and ask them if they see carbon in gyros sent in for overhaul. I bet they do.

    The gyro cases have 5" of vacuum in them, and every time you shut down, and especialy when the pump suddenly fails, carbon dust gets sucked into the gyros. Thats how I understand it. The reason they developed the CV1J4 filter was to stop this carbon dust. Correct me if I am wrong, but the filter darkens with accumulated hours. We bought one and are waiting to install it next week, after overhauling the DG and soon to be the atitude gyro as well. http://www.aerotechcomponents.com/products.html#history

    Thats probably ram air open.

    Interior plastic parts are ABS, which, aside from being flimsy, is really easy to repair. You solvent weld it with ABS glue.

    Just like the ads for gasoline that "cleans deposits from intake valves, robbing you of power". I have torn down many fuel injected engines, and never saw a vlave covered in a blob of deposits. its all hype and fear, over something that does not exist. It does not exist.

    hey, MMO works!

    That's it. We are going. Texas BBQ is something you can only get....in Texas.

    OK, here is the deal on the car. If you go to www.orbitz.com and book Enterprise rent a car in Kerrville, it is right across the street from the Y-O Ranch. The price is 71$ total for Friday AM -Monday AM. You leave the car at the Y-O if leaving Sunday, as Enrterprise is closed. MAPA has a deal with a van service to pick you up at the airport and drop you off. So, instead of paying 175$ (55$ a day) for a car delivered to the airport, you can do it for 71$ total.

    I find it funny it was developed by a pilot with a BS in Chemistry (or at least he attended college) and he is wearing an airline uniform although he never flew for a living at all. Wow, it burns less fuel, goes farther, faster, and runs cooler to boot! Amazing

    I'm asking Bill wheat just how they got 201 MPH from a M20J back in 1976 at Kerrville.

    Well said, Andy. our plane currently only has heading mode and altitude hold. GPSS would be a whole new dimension. Perhaps an Aspen is in our future.

    John, he can't come soon enough!

    After you do a couple 201 mods to an early Mooney, you can just buy an early J for the same money, and you get the panel, cowl, gear doors, induction system, an extra 12" all for free.

    Yes, shame on you. The wing falls off on a Mooney when the same wing is rated at 3600 LBS gross weight or your same model has a 200 LB increase in gross weight based on a paperwork change. Shame on you.

    S-Tek is ripe for an ass kicking. Their rep at OSH was a haughty, smug prick. Hopefully Avidyne can take care of them with the DFC-90 autopilot. 9K$ and it rights the aircraft from upside down in 3 seconds. I will take the first one, in cash.

    So true, so true !!!

    We should add SVT to the 747 to improve safety.
  19. jetdriven
    yep. set power with fuel flow. Thats easier than MP, RPM, and EGT all combined.
  20. jetdriven
    Colojo is that yor video on Youtube? Thats a distinctive paint job.
  21. jetdriven
    have a good flight!

    You can change your own oil, and a whole host of other things under part 43. Writing checks and telling them to call you when it's done is frightfully expensive, and as we found out, is no safer than a rental outfit.
  23. jetdriven
    you can add 20W50 as make up oil for your W100, that wil thin it out..
  24. jetdriven
    i remember mine has a coat of epoxy in that area, i recall its about 4" long
  25. jetdriven
    there were 10K mooneys built I thought, dunno how many are still in service. Thats a lot of 3500$ ailerons, though.
