Just took a look at a picture of the engine. Looks like a very good solution to me :-) Thanks

... and how did you fix the cord? With a clamp on the oil filler tube?

Great video - Thanks for sharing

Hello, I am considering the installation of a Reiff system on my Mooney and looking for experiences where to put the power connector so that it can be easily accessed. Pictures would be great.. Thanks for your help! Emmet

The maintenance manual says it' s a MS91586-1. I found a webpage from Deltec. They offer it in 50 and 100mV... The airframe is from 1980 - sorry, should have mentioned it. The panel is already disassembled - so no chance to power it up :-(

Hi, I am int he process of installing a EDM900 in my 231. As the shunt is a pita to access I try to find out whether the shunt is a 50mV or 100mV type. Does anybody know which one it is? Thank you very much in advance!

Do you see any reduction in CHTs or TIT with the intercooler?

Put me in for both please

... the phone number is not correct - it should be +1 949 218 9701. I just called him - we are currently 6 on the list - if manu joins us we will be 7 I have also initiated a posting on the European Mooney Organizations website - hope that helps ..

I am also interested and have send them an email. No reply yet. Have you heard anythink if there are more than the three of us ?

Hi, I can remember that while I was doing some research on that configuration I found a statement from Garmin which said that the transfer of approach waypoints is no longer supported in the GTN series due to the new Arinc leg types. Unfortunetly I don't know the link where I found that . I also found a statement in the 796 manual saying that only the leg from the FAF will be displayed. Not really what I had expeted/wished but that looks exactly like your problem ? Emmet

How did you figure those numbers out? Using the EDM LOP mode didn't sound wise to me at75% ..

Hi, I installed my gamis this week and even after reading tons of posts I still have some questions. Engine is a TSIO360-GB with Merlyn. I started at 65% (approx. 28", 2400rpm), 1st cylinder was 60°lop, last about 15°lop, power went down to about 56%, fuel flow 8-8.5 gph. How can I increase the power back to 65%? Simply advancing the MP? Will it still be lop then? Is 15° lop enough for a turbocharged engine? How do you guys manage higher power settings? Setting power to 75% -> BMP -> leaning from lean side? Which power settings do you use? Thanks for your comments ! Emmet

Hi, I do have a M20K231 with the GB engine and a hot prop. The factory probe is installed in the oil cooler. The alternate locations from the installation manual don't have any plugs except one in front which is unusable becuase of the plate for the hot prop. Has anybody installed an 830 in a similar configuration and where have you placed the probe ? Any hints are highly appreciated ! Emmet

missing attachment...

Hi, I just found this unapproved parts notification from the FAA. Does anybody know if it is this still valid? How can a legal replacement with silicon rubber seals be done?

Wow. Dr Smiles (dentist I believe - wonderful profession BTW) you totally crack me up! You have got to be writting this stuff just to egg us engineers on, because I can't stop laughing. That said, I have to take the bait - silly me. Please, please go back to your Stress and Strain books from freshman year. Bending (or perhaps flexing is a better word really) is absolutely necessary of metal structures or they would fail imminently. Ever seen a helicopter blade moving? They flap like a birds wing when moving. Your AL prop also flexes as it moves through the turbulent air too. Take a stobe light to it. Ever seen an engine crank flex while in motion? They vibrate like a sonic toothbrush. Its down right scary, but thank God they do. As long as the modulus of bending is NOT exceeded, all is well (though in truth, AL has a fatigue life based on number of flexes as well as its modulus; wood and iron compounds, modulus only). But you and your body just can't do the damage you are insinuating. Well, unless you are really Clark Kent, and youre just toying with us mear humans. And oh by the way, there is no such thing as centrifugal force, only centripetal, but that's another entirely different arguement. Please please, stop with this. Youre killing me.

As being an engineer for over 20 years I wonder how allsmiles will be able to do a stress calculation without having the specifcations and design data for the critical components involved. Looks like sound engineering to me ... maybe it's better to stay with Biochem... "I hope we can agree that a static force on the prop perpendicular to its direction of rotation, such as applied when attempting to move the airplane on the ground, is very different than the dynamic loads parallel to its direction of rotation, such as when the engine and prop are rotating in flight" Sorry, but all that comes to my mind is - what a complete bullshit ... Engineering is a science of facts and numbers - not opinions ! Just my 5 cents

How did you guys with the 830 mount the fuel flow transducer ? Instead of the primary ? Simply in line ? Hooked the instrument to the primary sensor ?

I think the encore upgrade is the STC I found on the Mooney website. Is it just the brakes or also a gear renforcement ? Emmet

Hi, has anybody done or knows how to do a grossweight increase on a 231 ? I found an STC on the Mooney website - but that seems not to be valid for a 231... As some Rockets are based on the 231 I thought it should be possible. Thanks, Emmet

The leaning helped - not really what I wished but it looks like I have to live with it .... Thanks guys !

Hi, I'm also experienving problems with my pump in my K model since the last weekend. It doesn't work if I press the prime or the low boost switch. It works on high boost ... Did you guys experience the same behavior with your broken pumps or does that look like an electrical problem ?

The idle mixture has been adjsuted at the last annual in march... But I will try to do the lean test the next weekend. The air leak approach sounds promising - even if I don't have a good idea how to locate it ...

... since I bought it 1/2 year ago - so I really dont't know ...
